Murphy's Laws at WDW

[Stargazer65]

Name some Murphy's laws that operate at WDW. For example:

The bus that is leaving the stop when you are approaching is ALWAYS the bus you wanted.

Worked against us, just now lol

When you are running late it’s always time to change bus drivers

Children who rise at 7 at home, always sleep until 11 at Disney.

Right when you give up and schedule an uber to go to the park since the bus no showed for 30 minutes, it shows up! And then when the bus leaves, suddenly Uber is trying to connect you with a driver... again.

Just when your kid works up the courage to try a new ride, it goes down.

The will be a thunderstorm that shuts the Skyliner down when you need to use it to get to an ADR.

Child that won’t potty BEFORE you get in line - has to go NOW once you are nowhere near restroom and about to get on ride!! And of course there is a line at the restroom !!

When there’s more than one line for something we always pick the one that is shorter or looks to be moving faster but as soon as we enter it our line comes to a standstill for some reason and the other line moves along quickly

Just when you all agree on riding Haunted Mansion one more time and the line is reasonable, 30 Jersey Week cheerleaders high on sugar will appear two steps ahead of you, shove your kids out of their way, pose for selfies, practice their swearing combinations with racist twists, let their 40 friends cut in line ahead of you, and mock the cast members.

We used experiences like this to teach our kids how to people watch like anthropologists. "Let's compare eye contact and body language among this group of adolescents with various control groups in the area."

When I carry the ponchos, it doesn’t rain. At all. For 17 days straight. The one day I don’t, because there’s nothing in the forecast and I’ve felt dumb for 17 days straight, it pours.

Gross, but when DD was 3 or so, I'm pretty sure she peed in her bathing suit in line at a water park. She was fully potty trained, but said she had to go and 20 seconds later she didn't have to. Wear water shoes. I was mortified.

I was just about to post similar. Every time we'd approach LL, 942 people would show up ahead of us. Lol

When you've got an ADR in the park in 45 minutes, and try to juuuust squeeeeze in that last ride that has a 15 minute wait time, and then the ride temporarily goes down when you are 3/4 of the way through the line. Then you get to be the annoying person that has to say "excuse me" 500 times to get all the way back out to the opening of the line.

We had a Brazil tour grp place one person in line - then over a hundred showed up and cut - Cast Member would not help - war broke out - security came - we left about the time war was breaking out ! Just not worth it - lesson - if you see Brazil tour grp and only one or two in line and line is short - expect the rest - they are in restroom break !

When I haul my *** out of bed at 6AM and get to the head of the line for HS RD for ROTR, the ride will be down.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Continue gross - said 2 yr old pee on me while in line for restroom more times than I care to mention !! I often carried change of clothes for both of us ! Also said girl could manage sitting down to pee to shoot it out like geyser while I was holding her not to fall in !! Again change of clothes required - it was a LONG trip with a lot of laundry and showering !! Memories

 

[WDWEPCOT]

You get stuck in the ride and they won’t let you off and you either have ADR or you need restroom !!! POTC famous for this !!! Followed by HM

Yep, last trip that happened to me.

 

[corpcomp]

You have been in line at ROTR for an hour underground when it breaks down and you need to find a bathroom, along with 20 others ahead of you..

Why does my Doom Buggy and Time Machine always stop moving when I'm going backwards and downhill

You think you have the "perfect" spot for fireworks viewing and suddenly 10 people come to join the person next to you and crowd in where there is no space for them. That food item you've been dreaming of at restaurant xyz was just removed from the menu.
