One time when riding PotC, there was a group from Germany seated on the row behind us. They had been talking a bit loudly (but not too terrible) behind us in line. When we got on the boat, one of the ladies pulled out a video camera to film the ride. Between the group talking about the ride in German, every time the lady with the camera saw Johnny Depp, she would go "Oooooooh Jooooooohnnyyyyyyyyy" in a seductive voice.
My husband and I kept looking at each other trying not to crack up and now one of us always says it whenever we go on the ride or watch movies with him in it.

My husband and I collect a Disney plush as a souvenir for each trip we take and bring them back each trip to decorate our hotel room. Last trip, we got a Perry doll because we had just fallen in love with Phineas and Ferb. We waited until late in the day at HS so we wouldn't have to carry him around long, but ended up with about 30 minutes to spare before we needed to leave for our dining reservation, so we decided to head over to ToT/RnRC for a few more rides. Of course I didn't want to leave him in the bag, so I carried him around in my arm. Watching kids' faces light up while saying "
Perry!!!!" was so sweet (I wonder how many started bugging their parents to buy them one afterwards
). But one lady's reaction was priceless - she looked at me for a second trying to figure out what I had, then chuckled and said "Huh, she has a beaver." I guess she never figured out why I was carrying around a beaver.
A bit off topic, but we took Perry on ToT several times after that and had fun with him in the picture. I would always hold him (tightly) in the picture (of course I was always very mindful not to block anyone else's view or face in case they wanted to buy the picture). It was fun experimenting with the angle to hold him towards the camera so that you could actually see and recognize him - much harder than I thought it would be! I also thought it was amusing that we rode about 7 times with Perry, but only one time did any other guests ever notice what we were doing.
Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!
I hope there were no Disney execs around!!
