leblanan wrote:One of the best quotes I've heard, while riding a mostly empty bus to Epcot, a kid at the back won't sit down after repeated comments from his parents. Finally the dad announces quite loudly. "when we get there, we're mailing you back to Grandma's". Two seconds later the bus driver had to hit the breaks hard, and the kid went flying. Burst into tears immediately. Dad slowly got up picked the kid up and said "yea cause no one saw that coming"
Turtles have excellent hearingSorcererDonald16 wrote:...And one of my fave lines was a snarky joke by my dad during Turtle Talk with Crush. Crush asks a little girl or boy "What do humans eat?" My dad mutters very quietly "Turtles." Cue Crush who yells out "Hang on just a second [talking to the child]. Dude, we do NOT eat turtles! ...pause... Don't make me call security!" Somehow just about everyone turns around and looks at my dad and is busting out laughing. I was laughing so hard, I was practically crying, and some of the poor children up front looked utterly bewildered. I still don't know how Crush or the people in the audience away from us heard him.
That would be sort of fun to hear trivia in different languages. What did the bus driver do?jeremyleo wrote:On a solo trip (couple of extra days tagged on to a conference), I was on a bus on the way to Epcot. The driver, using the bus mic, began announcing pieces of Disney trivia to the passangers - in French. I was impressed (being Canadaian and somewhat bilingual myself) however a family sitting at the front were apparently not. The father stated, loud enough for the the entire bus to hear, "What kind of language is that? Why don't you just speak American!".
Kids bounce back quickly. Glad you saw him later in the day having funmills10 wrote:One time on a day off when I was working at Typhoon Lagoon I took my then fiancée to the park. While there she scraped her knee kind of bad on the bottom of the lazy river. We went the first aid station to get a band-aid. There was a kid at the first aid station already who was crying a screaming like crazy. Apparently he was in the wave pool and got knocked over by the huge wave and his back got scraped REALLY BAD. As the nurse was taking care of it the kid through his sobs said, "I hate Disney World!" We tried not to bust up laughing, because we knew it more then likely wasn't true. It was pretty funny, and don't worry he was fine; we saw him running around later that day with a smile on his face like nothing happened.
The bus driver rolled with it and kept on going. I thanked him with a "Merci beaucoups" as I exited the bus to let him know I appreciated it.Amy wrote:That would be sort of fun to hear trivia in different languages.

Oh wow, typical American... That's funny. Sometimes guests just really push it with their comments.jeremyleo wrote:On a solo trip (couple of extra days tagged on to a conference), I was on a bus on the way to Epcot.

That is funny Epcotmaniac I often wish I could speak another language fluently. Sometimes you see the facial expressions of the people having a conversation and just know it is something goodEpcotmaniac wrote:Ok, here is mine
We were in the line of Tower of Terror, outside in the garden where you can see and hear the people at the top and there was a family in front of us. We could listen to the conservation between the two kids, a girl which was around 17 and a boy which I guess was 8.
Girl: Have you ever been on this ride?
Boy: No!
Girl: Do you know what will happen?
Boy: No!
Girl: Are you scared?
Boy: No!
Girl: Well, you better should be!
Man, you should have seen the look on the face of the boy. It was a mix of panic and fear.
Its always very interesting when I listen to other germans in the parks and they think no one does understand what they are saying.
I'm personally a fan of those moments where people are speaking in another language and then someone randomly throws out an English phrase that piques your curiosity even more...Amy wrote:That is funny Epcotmaniac I often wish I could speak another language fluently.
