Pranks on First Timers?
Have you guys ever taken a first-timer on a trip with you and played a little with their minds about the park/certain rides?
This past December, I took a first timer with me (let me first add it was a group of three of us, and we're all grad students). We JUST got on Splash Mountain and came to the first little drop when my friend asked me "Is this the big one?"
We had just gotten on the ride and the large drop is the climax! So I gave him a funny look and said "Yes. Yes it is."
He BELIEVED me. He felt so dumb when he found out it wasn't the BIG drop! But the best part? I kept doing it and he KEPT believing me. My third friend (she was in the seat behind us) was laughing her head off. The gullible friend said he would stop listening to me until I told him "The Laughing Place" was it....which works, since it' is darker. He was holding on tight to the rail and when the drop was over, he just gave me a "I should hurt you" look.
It was really funny to keep psyching him out like that; so, I was wondering if you guys have any similar stories.
First Trip: 1986 at 6 mths. old!
Latest Trip: February 2017
Next trip: October 1017
Stayed at: Caribbean Beach, POP Century, Wilderness Lodge, The Contemporary, The Polynesian, the Beach Club, the Yacht Club, Grand Floridian, Art of Animation, Disney DREAM

I like to trick ppl on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Just before the short drop, I start saying, "Here it come, hold on..." a few times in a row. Then just before the drop, the kids and I start screaming our heads off. It's even more fun when others join in on the screaming then they realize the drop isn't so bad after all.

Not my first trip, but my first experience with Space Mountain... I was/am terrified of heights, another above five feet high, and oh no! Well when I finally was tall enough to ride SM my parents convinced me it was a slow ride that talked about the planets..... last time I ever listened to them (well, it should have been, ha ha). I screamed the entire ride... poor guys behind us were plugging their ears the entire time!

This is priceless! I do the same thing! It cracks me up every time.
Another good one is taking them to the Comedy Club in PI and getting them to sit next to a phone (it may not ring, but if it does....good laughs)...

Unfortunately almost everyone we know has been to WDW more than once so they are pretty up to date on what goes on down there. However that didn't stop me from being able to pull the Beverly trick on my wife.
Ice Station Cool was put in during the year that my oldest son was born. That meant that my wife wasn't able to keep up with new things like I was. So, while she knew about Ice Station Cool she didn't really know about Beverly. All I can tell you is that I still have the bruises on my arm to show you her reaction!

We like to take newbies to 50's Prime Time. If you let the ladies at check in know you have a newbie with you, they'll usually set you up with a waitress that will play the Mom bit to the hilt.

I got a few people with Beverly, but I'm such a bad prank puller that I can rarely keep a straight face and they start to figure out that something isn't quite right...

Last year a friend of mine joined us on our trip. She has been before but never said on site or never really ate in the sit down places. We thought it would be great if we went to Whispering Canyon and 50's Prime Time. Of course, we didn't tell her what these places were all about. When we went to WCC she was getting so mad at the waitress because she kept bumping her chair hard. All we did was laugh. She soon enough firgured it all out and thought it was a hoot. Then at the Prime Time she wondered why a guy was standing against the wall. She then said is this one of these places!!!! It was very funny. She got in trouble for not eating her vegatables. I guess I forgot to tell her that.
Also, anytime someone asks me where they should eat at Disney I always mention those two places. I say they are really good! When they come back they say did you know they do this? I guess it slipped my mind.
