Fact #2971 (Employee Story) 

This is kind of mess up but it was funny in mission space a men with claustrophobia went on the ride and when they close the door the men started to hit the door and say "Get me out of here!". He was hitting and kicking the door, it was funny. The funny thing was,  he was my uncle.

Fact #2972 (Disney Guest Story) 

When we met Captain Hook at Disneyland a couple of weeks ago, my older daughter walked up to him and said, "Do you know my mom is Wendy?" Of course, Hook starts shaking his hook at me. Then, my younger daughter walks up to him, waves her little hand and says, in her best Jedi mind trick voice, "She is not the Wendy you are looking for." I thought the Disney photographer was going to fall over.

Fact #2973 (Disney Guest Story) 

When my nephew was around 2 he said no to everything. So one day at Disneyland after lunch at the Hungry Bear we asked him if he wanted to go on Winnie the Pooh. Of course he said no but we headed that way anyway. We asked him again in line, "No!", We asked him again when boarding the car, "No!". About the time we were heading through the second set of doors into the attraction the screaming and I mean screaming started. The ride stopped and an attractions attendant walked up and asked if we wanted to exit the ride - "Yes, please." That was the day we realized that no meant no.

Fact #2974 (Disney Guest Story) 

We waited our 45 minutes to go on Splash Mountain, we are in the 2nd and 3rd row of the car, in front of us were 2 rather smartly dressed Japanese gentlemen in the front row. They had obviously never been on the ride before and we were enjoying their reactions to the animatronics etc. So - the drop comes, we all got a soaking and were all laughing, until Japanese man 1 jumps up, takes out his tiny cotton hankerchief and starts mopping the drenching from Japanese man 2. The ride stopped as he was stood up, while still trying to dry his friend/colleague off... We all just sat in hysterics until he finally sat down and we could move on.

Fact #2975 (Disney Guest Story) 

Last year my son, husband and myself went on Thunder Mountain. As you are aware, you sit two per row and have to wait by the gates which open up for you to board the train. I was at one gate with my Son while my husband stood alone at the gate in front of us. When the gates opened all three of us boarded the train. As we sat down, the gates remained opened for a few moments to finish letting everyone board but the couple who was stood behind my husband didn't understand this and both of them tried to sit in the car with my husband. The funny thing about this was my husband knew this was wrong but he still tried to budge over as far as he could to try to get three grown adults in the seats! A cast member eventually came up to the couple and had to explain to them that they would have to wait for the next train.

Fact #2976 (Disney Guest Story) 

My family and I were watching the kids drive by on the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway at the Magic Kingdom. We watched eight or nine kids slowly drive by before a very large, very hairy man emerged from behind a bush. He was far too large for the dinky car and was overflowing into the lane next to him. He was wearing an expression of absolute degradation and defeat which only made it funnier. Naturally, we began laughing so loudly that we overpowered the speedway noises and caught his attention. He looked up at us, frowned, and said in the thickest, most stereotypical New York accent you could imagine: "Dis is the closest thing to really driving I can get. They took away my license. I can't drive no more!" To this day, we quote that misunderstood genius any time we witness a car accident.
