Do you know how hard it is to keep my laughing quiet here in a VERY quiet office!? This thread had me in tears.
here is mine....
August of 2003. My husbands first trip to disney with the family (he and my sister and I went for a short weekend in 2002). Mom, dad, my husband, my sister, her bf,and myself. 6 adults, all 21 and older.
My husband and sister's bf were goofing off in line to Kilmanjaro Safari, thinking they were funny. They were saying "oh, the animals on this ride are so LIFE-like..." A little kid standing behind us was convinced that they were fake animals on the ride. I was slightly mortified. Then, still thinking they were funny, started talking about "the man inside the mickey costume". I thought I was going to die when the little kid turns to his mother and said "IS ANYTHING REAL HERE IN DISNEY!?" and proceded to BALL his little eyes out because everything was fake, and mickey was fake, and santa is probably fake too......
Needless to say, my sister and I nearly killed them. My family of four has made dozens of trips to disney, and never once have we made like there is a man in a costume, to ourselves or anyone else. UGH, my face was so red, and my sister and I didn't talk to them the rest of the day.
Luckily, later my husband saw the family at Chef Mickey's, and profusly apologized to the family. The little boy had been convinced throughout the day by his family that the animals were real, and so were the characters. So his meal at Chef Mickey's was a happy one.
UGH. I still get mad about that one.
