Well it's time for us all to spill our guts so everyone else can have a good laugh! Disney Parks are full of magic and fun, but it's also full of real people. And when there's real people, there are silly things happening to those real people.
So it's time for you to tell all! When was it that you took a big spill in front of everyone waiting for the parade? Or how about the time you almost fell out of the boat at the Jungle boat cruise?
I'll Start:
A few years ago I started feeling sick while we were in Epcot. So I finally told my DW I really need to go back the room. So we got back to the Caribbean Beach Resort and I felt awful! I went to sleep for a while and when I woke up I felt a little better. My DW wanted to go to the food court and wanted to know if I wanted something. I said "I think I feel good enough to take a walk, I'll go with you." As we left the room we saw everyone outside there rooms and lining the sidewalks because they were watching the fireworks at Epoct.
Well half way to the food court I realize that I should NOT have come on this walk! My world starts spinning and I am looking for a bush a trash can something! With no luck I fall to my knees in the grass and begin to, well, you know I don't want to gross you out! And there are people everywhere. Parent's are hiding there kids eyes, kids are crying. Everyone must have thought "the nerve of this guy getting plastered and doing what drunks do during our family moment!":scared1: And all I could hear in the back ground was fireworks!
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!

The only embarrassing moment I can think of is when I was at HS/MGM back in '92 (I was 7 at the time) and a similar experience happened to me.
We went in mid-July and, well, I don't do so good in the heat. I was playing in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids playground and got sick from heat exhaustion. Let's just say that I left the CMs a "gift" on one of the nearby tables... After that my dad had to carry me out on his shoulders.

Ok, my embarrassing moment happened clear back on our honeymoon. I had surprised DW Tinkershell with a Disney Cruise and we were having a splendid time. On this particular evening, we were in a line waiting to meet the ship’s captain. I’m no expert on cruise ship protocol, but supposedly this is a big deal.
Our Captain was a stern-looking Greek gentleman complete with silver hair and beard and looking very dignified in his fancy sailor suit. Apparently, he didn’t speak much English because he had someone with him to help him communicate with the procession of guests.
Just as the people in front of us in line had finished up bowing or curtseying or doing whatever it is you are supposed to do with such an important person, a door swung open behind him and some Disney characters came out into the ballroom. To my horror, Tinkershell screams “Mickey!” and nearly knocks the Captain over as she pushes past him to meet her favorite mouse.
Where am I? Why, I’m still in front of the Captain who is now wearing his angry eyes and saying something in Greek that I had a feeling was not complimentary. Meanwhile, Tinkershell is shrieking and waving frantically for me to come over and take her picture.
What did I do? What could I do? I muttered something like “sure do like your boat”….. and then walked away in shame…..and took Tinkershell’s picture.
My moment came when I was bending down to help one of the kids. All of a sudden I heard a tearing of clothes. :scared1: My shorts ripped right in half. Had to send DH to store to buy me something so I could cover up. Note to self--never wear tight fitting shorts to park.

This was years ago.. But I remember walking around outside Minnie's house (near the gazebo), and I was looking at something in the opposite direction I was walking and I ran into a pole! To make matters worse, there was a family taking a picture in my direction right when it happened. So they probably have that wonderful memory to cherish forever. :rolleyes:

My family spends a lot of time at WDW, so there are plenty of opportunties to be embarassed. Here's two:
I fell in Space Mountain. The floor was wet. It was dark and I went end over applesauce and landed flat on my back. People were upset because I was blocking the fast pass line and they were literally stepping over me. What comes out of my mouth? "I've fallen and I can't get up" I'm lying there in horrible pain, everyone around me busted out laughing. I had to be dragged out. I don't know what was worse, the embarassment or the pain. :scared:
There was also the time DS wet his pants while waiting in line for TT many years ago. He announced to everyone around that he no longer had to go to the bathroom. as we all noticed the puddle at his feet. I asked him why he didn't tell us and he just said he didn't want to leave the line. Kids make us so proud. Even to this day - 7 years later - we always ask him if he needs to go before we get in line. He hates it. It's the memory that just doesn't go away. Can't wait to tell his future wife....

One day I saw a lady who looked like she would need help with a heavy door to a shop, so trying to be helpful, I sped up to get to the door and open it for her. DH not realizing why I was going so fast also sped up, so that when I opened the door I stepped right back smack dab into him and almost knocked him over in front of the lady. We were all embarrassed and she felt soooo sorry for DH.

Here's another yuck one: My DS4 puking in the line at Maelstrom. (He'd just had too much chocolate milk at the Princess Storybook Breakfast, because he was fine after that!).

This happened during a Disney trip, but we were actually at Universal when it happend.
DH, my Mom and I were walking along, and I had our brand-new video camera hung around my neck. Somehow I tripped over a curb walking down the main street and fell down hard. The fall itself was embarassing enough, but it startled my Mom, who then shouted, "OMG! [my name]!! Are you OK??" so that everyone who didn't notice the initial fall was now staring in my direction. I was mortified and could have crawled into a hole!
To top it off, I cracked the LCD screen on the video camera in the fall.
Mom has since passed, and I was SOO mad at her at the time, but now I know she was just making sure her DD was alright. :hug:

My 1st time riding RnRC it really affected me...severely. The G forces really shook up my brain. So at the end of the ride I couldn't get out of the ride vehicle! Seriously! I was so embarassed as the young CM (I'm only 38 ;)) pulled me out of the ride while my knees were knocking and my legs were weak. I was really embarassed with red face when I walked through the dump shop! :rotfl:

Mine also happened on our honeymoon. We were in the Tiki Bird entry area and they had just done the pre-show and opened the doors to let everyone in. I stepped wrong and twisted my ankle. I fell straight down scraping my hands and chin. The best part was my "better half" never even noticed! Just kept right on walking. They finally stopped her at the door in and said, "Your friend fell back there you might want to go back."
They didn't want to let me go. They all but insisted on getting me a wheelchair. I was so embarrassed I just limped out of there back to the hotel. :)

Many years ago when I was much younger and thinner I had an embarrassing moment on the Back Stage Movie Tour (sorry if that is not the exact name). I thought I looked really cute in my white shorts, but didn't really think about what undewear I had put on that day. Unfortunately, I was seated on the side of the tram that gets really wet in the canyon and well, I spent a good portion of the ride sitting in a puddle. When I got off, anyone who walked behind me, knew that I had decided the hot pink bikini underwear would be a good choice for the day. :rotfl:

Last November we had our trip from you know where, I developed bronchitis, my son threw up in 'Ohana, my daughter lost a shoe, it was cold, but the cream of the crop turned into my embarrassing moment. I was waiting to get on one of the Disney buses holding my daughter and I lost my footing somehow and was going down. All I can think is I don't want to hurt my daughter so I reach out for the closest thing that will break my fall, which happens to be a man and his...well you can guess. I was mortified and very scraped up but my daughter was fine. The worst part was I ran into him a couple days later at the resort. Can you say awkward silence?
I am a clutz. Majoooorrrrr Clutz! So, I actually am passed the point of getting embarrassed now. But I (and so did everyone else) had a good laugh at myself on our last trip. I was getting out of TT. When I went to step out, my shoe fell off. I stuck my foot back down to get it forgetting how short I am and how big of a step it is to get out and literally fell out backwards. I laid there my back on the floor and legs in the car, laughing so hard I couldn't move. I made the CMs laugh so hard they couldn't even ask if I was okay. They tried, it just wouldn't come out.
I managed to scratch up the back of my legs on the scruffy steps, but otherwise I was unhurt. And left with my ego perfectly intact! :laughing:

I don't recall having an embarrassing moments at Disney World, but I've made up for it with a couple on the cruise ships (both on the Magic). The first one happened when I was dancing with DH at the 70s party when I suddenly felt a hideous pain and fell to the ground, right in front of everyone in the crowded nightclub. I could get up; didn't realize it, but my knee cap had popped off. So there I am with all these people gaping, and they had to haul me off to the medical center. I'm the sort who doesn't even like to take aspirin for a headache, but the pain was so bad that I kept demanding drugs like a wild woman. Little did I know that the pain of having it off was nothing compared to what it felt like when they slammed that sucker back on! I spent the rest of the cruise in a wheelchair with a huge leg brace. Ugh.
The second time wasn't nearly as bad. We were on the Panama Canal cruise at a shore excursion in Acapulco. I had gone to the bathroom and was returning to our seat (we were at a restaurant to watch the cliff divers), when WHAM! I dripped over a raised platform that was apparently a dance floor and landed right on my face. Ripped the heck out of my knee but I was so embarrassed that I insisted I was fine and slunk back to my seat without getting any bandaids etc. I just mopped at it with a napkin. It looked pretty yucky for the rest of the cruise.

My most embarrasing moment happened on our first trip back in 2000. We were all decked out with the biggest fanny pack you have ever seen and each of us had water bottles on a belt type thing. Well my daughter and I were bravely ready to ride RnR. We were sitting in the "car" and the bar came down, well it happened that my water bottle was between my legs and my bar. Everytime we took a deep spin or wild turn a little water squirted out of the bottle and you know where it went. When we came off the ride I looked like I wet my pants. My DH couldn't stop teasing me. Looking back on it now, it 's funny but coming off that ride was a little tense.

This happened when we were little kids, but I am sure it was a mortifying day for my parents. We were in WDW celebrating my brothers birthday. We had just gotten to the castle for dinner and my parents told my brother he could have anything he wanted. He chose filet mignon and Hawaiian Punch to drink. After dinner my brother wasn't feeling too hot, and we thought maybe he had gotten too much heat during the day. Just as the Main Street Electrical Light Parade is coming down the Parade route...music playing...just about to start....my brother starts to throw up in the MIDDLE of the parade route! Being the lovely little sister that I was....I was completely grossed out, and started yelling, "eewwww he's splashing my socks." That's when my mother instructed to have my father remove me from the situation ASAP. Cast members came running...parade is still coming towards us...those poor folks trying to clean up my brother, as you guessed it....the parade has to be stopped. To make matters worse, there was a man yelling from the sidewalk..."look, that little dude is puking red!" That's what really sent my mom over the edge! They quickly cleaned up the scene, my brother, and the parade continued past us. Needless to say, that was the end of our night, and I'm sure people were traumatized just as much as we were! It certainly was a trip we will never forget!!!

Last year my DH and I were staying at the Boardwalk Villas. It was a trip without the kids so we were taking a romantic walk on the boardwalk on our way to dinner. It had just rained and I was wearing crocks...well I started slipping and sliding and then fell down.on my side. I tried to get up but kept sliding and probably looked like a fish flopping around on the boardwalk. After help from my husband and more sliding I looked down at my white outfit...covered in mud, including my arms. What a sight I must have made walking the long walk back to our room to change.

My embarassing moment was two years ago and I still haven't gotten over it yet. This was the first time I had to be in an ECV and I wasn't used to driving it yet. The CM had me park it behind the last row of seats in "Sounds Dangerous". Three ladies were sitting directly in front of me waiting for the show to begin.
Well, I decided that I was too close to the back of the seats and hit what I thought was the reverse handle to back up. Instead, I hit the forward. I was already parked on a slant since the theatre floor sloped so I hit the back of the seats HARD.
I had a large iced tea in the front basket of the ECV. The force was so hard that the tea cup crushed and sent the tea flying in the air. Straight up-very high. It was almost as if it was in slow motion and it came down on the heads of those poor ladies who screamed loudly. They were soaked.
I apologized profusely and they were SO nice about it. The show started and I began sobbing and cried through the whole show. It was bad enough to have to be in an ECV, but all I could think about was the three of them in soaking tea stained clothes having their day ruined. When the lights came on I apologized again. Seeing how upset I was, they comforted me and made jokes. They thanked me for cooling them off on such a hot day.
I offered to buy them shirts so they could change, but they declined. I will always be grateful that they didn't beat the snuff out of me. They were totally classy.

I know the fellows appreciate the show at the bottom of those slides :woohoo:, but I gotta wonder. why a person would wear a bikini to a water park and go on certain rides like summit plummet..isn't it logical..that a certain clothing item isn't going to survive the plummit?
Do the ladies just think they are well endowed enough it will stay in place or that they can hold it all in place? How does one decide? :rolleyes1
I am wise enough to know, no one wants to see me in a bikini, but I have always wondered why others wear them at the water parks. :confused3

Okay, so let's say we have a relative, who shall remain nameless, and this relative is...let's just say he has a short leash on my nieces, who are in our opinion old enough to walk 12 feet away to get a fresh map at the entrance of a theme park without getting yelled at for walking too far from their parents. Get my drift?? Yeah. So, we are entering Animal Kingdom a few years ago and my niece (let's say her name is Lisa) walks over to the fresh maps and we hear the expected loud scolding, "Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssaaa!!! Get back over here, right here!!!" Without missing a beat...the talking palm tree says, "um, Lisa, I think that guy over there wants you to go back over there." Ahahahahahaha!!! Vindication! He never said it to her again the rest of the trip!

I dont have one to share, but I was hoping that a story would be repeated or linked here. A few years ago someone posted about losing part of their bathing suit on one of the water slides. She was wearing a one piece, but the force of the ride stripped her down. Anyone rememeber that story or know where its at to link it? Its a classic.

i guess our embarrassing moments are more humorous than embarrassing but here goes...
when DS8 was 7mo old, we went to WDW for a short 4 day trip. While on Haunted Mansion, DS let us know it was feeding time, so under cover of darkness, DW obliged (breastfeeding)
the second story is on the same trip. we had bought a new camcorder. being the macho man i am, i didn't need to read the instructions. needless to say, when we got home, we realized that while at Epcot, i had operated the camera incorrectly. I had it off when i thought it was on and on when i thought it was off. we have some good audio of the camera on in the protective case while walking around epcot and absolutely zippo for video.
i now read instructions.

25 years ago:
I got off the teacups and aimed for the exit. I missed by 10 feet, but kept moving forward...I rolled/flipped over the bushes and railing, all the while, trying to stop the spinning in my head. I fell onto the pavement outside the teacups, on my side, and blew lunch.
I quickly came around, stood up, dusted off and went into the nearby bathroom trying to look as if I meant to do that.
I'm a 6'4" guy and was probably 18 at the time.

this is the nicest story!! What great people they were! Karma! (gotta say it, its so often evoked in negative stories!! what a sweet group of people)
I have a story - but its not as good as others have posted their great stories..
On our first sans kids trip - dh and I go to MK - after dh convinced me he did NOT have my entry ticket (but he always keeps my ticket!) we go thru to watch the pre show pre rope drop show - the Steam Train arrives, the characters sing - and I get my camera out, and while snapping pictures I follow dh - who ALWAYS wears a Hawaiian Shirt (think Hawkeye Pierce of Mash - early seasons) I start to say something to dh - to look lovingly in his - WAIT A FREAKIN MINUTE - "you are NOT my dh" as I turn all shades of red...
on my cell I call frantically "where are you?"
:faint:
dh had gone IN THE MK W/O ME!! he knew I rushed in and pushed ahead of everyone...
after 27 years?!!

This embarassing moment didn't technically happen to our family but we witnessed it.
Years ago the DH and I, along with our sons, were slowly strolling down Main Street as the MK was closing. A little ways in front of us was this extremely striking young lady in a pair of the shortest white shorts her father probably wouldn't have let her out of house in if he had known and on her feet was a pair of bright yellow 3 inch stiletto heels (mind boggling). To top it off she wore a skin tight leopard skin shirt, and let's just say, to quote Monty Python 'She had huge tracks of land' which were prominently on display. Also in front of us was an older gentleman in an ECV with his DW walking and talking beside him. It seems the gentleman in the ECV became distracted by the vision in front of him and the next thing you know he is no longer steering the ECV in a straight line but veers to the left and smashes into one of the trash cans on the sidewalk along the curb sending it sprawling. The gentleman’s DW at this point realizing the cause of the accident walks over to him and proceeds to whack him on the head with her plastic shopping bag filled with souvenirs.

In 2002 i went with my mom, dad and DH (then fiance) We were walking out of SM and i wanted some popcorn, well being a nice dad my father went and bought me some. My dad brings me the poporn and i walk a few feet forward and get attacked by 3 seagulls who also want my popcorn. Well as soon as all of the seagulls swoop down to get my popcorn i scream bloody murder and throw my popcorn up in the air and that attracted even more seagulls. I run away as fast as i can from the popcorn and i look around and see my DH and dad laughing at me :rotfl2: and tons of people watching me. I was so embarrassed at the time by now i look back and its pretty funny.

Ok, I'll add mine: Not completely embarrassing to me, but mortifying to my DD16.
I brought her to Disneyland last year for her 16th bday. She is a thrill seeker and I am a show seeker. She wanted to ride California Screamin'....ugh. I HATE upside down rides, but since this was my DD's special trip, I told her I would try it. The line was 20 mins long and so for 20 mins I was watching the poeple load into the ride and take off at astronomical speed screaming their heads off. I had sweaty palms and felt sick to my stomach. We get on the ride, take off and I feel like I am gonna die. When the ride ended, it took me a minute to get my footing back. We sat outside the ride for a bit and my daughter asked to go back on it. I said ok. So we waited in line again, sweaty palms again. We get up to the car, I sit down, the bar comes down, a CM walks by to check the bar and I scream "Get me off this thing". I couldn't do it. I told my DD to stay on and enjoy the ride, but she said no and was mortified to have to take the "walk of shame" off the ride. We had to walk by people still in line to get off, and she kept her head down the whole time. I apologized profusely, but she was still embarrassed. Whew, I am sweating just thinking about it...

This happened at the 2006 party. We were looking forward to seeing the villians and the other not so standard characters so as soon as we hit the park that night I am armend with my camera. My youngest son was almost 3 and dressed up as Buzz. We are just barley down main street and we spot Zurg-wow I have to get a picture of them together-yes this costume was great-park quality. I naturally assume he is a cast member and usher my son over. They guy keeps explaining they won't let him take pictures with the kids-I am thinking how odd. I do manage to angle in a picture before we leave.
Long story short-he didn't work for Disney and I just didn't get it. After watching the video my husband shot of this his wife wasn't amused by me at all. Ooops.

Great stories! I needed the laugh this morning, thank you for that. I'll add a few of my own...
This wasn't as embarassing as it was gross. LOL 5 years ago when my oldest niece was 3 the whole family went to Disney. We were in Epcot and most of the adults went off to ride Test Track. My dad and I stayed with the kids. My niece started whining and complaining and crying that she had to go to the bathroom. So, being the good aunt that I am, off we go to find the nearest bathroom. I get her into the stall, pull down her pants and find that she really DID have to go! She pooped in her panties. Ugh, at this point in my life I'd never even changed a dirty diaper! What do I do? I sit her down, try to calm her down, and do my best to clean her up. What do I do with her My Little Pony panties? I threw them in the trash in the stall! What else could I do? I made her go back to the group commando. LOL When we got back everyone was off the ride and wondering why we were gone so long. I explained what happened and proceeded to tell my sister she shouldn't be surprised when she changes her later on to find she's panty-less. She couldn't stop laughing, asked what I did with her panties and I said I tossed them. She joked that they were her favorite pair of My Little Pony panties. I told her which stall she could find them in. LOL
We took a trip in December 2006, the last one with my dad before he passed away. He always rented an ECV, this trip I had gotten him one from an outside vendor so he'd have it at the hotel, etc. Anyway, we were in HS at the Little Mermaid show, they directed us to the back row where wheelchairs and ECVs can fit. My dad was maneuvering his cart, which he wasn't the greatest at driving, and he hit the arm of one of the chairs and completely ripped off the arm rest! The thing went sailing in the air, I don't even know where it landed. LOL I was mortified! I told him to stop moving before he wrecked the entire theatre. LOL

I am really enjoying these funny/embarassing moments. So I have two I'm going to share:
In 2006, I was in Epcot with my son-age 18. DH and other son were back at the resort relaxing. DS wanted to go on Test Track - we had never been on it. I said ok, but had to make a pit stop first. I went into the restroom by Test Track and when I was done, went to wash my hands, but the floors were soaked and I went sliding across the floor and felt a huge painful pop as I went down. I got soaked. A lady offered me help, but I was so embarrased, I quickly washed and fled from the room. I got outside and realized I was in so much pain I couldn't catch my breath, so I attempted to sit on a bench until the pain had subsided and then made DS help me hobble back to the resort (I couldn't walk or sit or anything), but not wanting to ruin a vacation I refused any treatment until I got home. I just ignored it (wrong thing to do - and dumb thing to do). For the rest of the trip I could hardly climb bus stairs, walk,etc. I just hobbled all week. Turned out I tore my hamstring and it took 4 months to heal!
Then in 2008, December, I went to DHS with my sister and her husband to see the Osborne lights. I have heel spurs in both feet and had a hard time walking. I tripped going down a step and fell flat on the ground. So my sister and brother in law picked me up and walked me into a store nearby to get some napkins to clean up the scraped legs and as I was going up the steps to the store, the guy in front stops, steps aside and says "I'll wait"... I don't want to be near you if your going to fall again." I was pretty embarrased and wanted to hide (he must have thought I'd been drinking, but I hadn't had a bit of alcohol at all)!

While at Pop.
I was staying with my sister and our 4 kids.
Well the 2 little ones were running around the balcony. Well we decided to stand on the inside of one of the doorways and when the little ones (6, 7 years old)
Ran past, we would JUMP out and RARRR at them.
Well we heard them coming, we were ready to pounce.
They were getting closer and closer.
and at that MOMENT! We JUMPED and RAAARRRAA at them.
To OUR horror. And truely we felt horrible..
2 teenage boys froze in their tracks,
they werent happy about this and didnt come our way for the rest of the trip..

This is rather gross, but was funny. My family went to disney 5 years ago with my sisters family. We were waitting in line for Its a Bugs Life and had made it all the way up to where you are under the tree in the room where they make everyone squash together like sardines before you go into the auditorium. While we were shoulder to shoulder with both family and complete strangers, someone began passing the most horrible gas anyone had ever been exposed to. My sister began gagging and screaming at her husband to stop (he has been known to do this occasionally...) He pled his innocence but she insisted that she knew it was him. Time rocked on and we saw the show, left, and ended up going to MK. While at MK, my youngest son (5) needed a bathroom break. He stayed gone forever. My husband finally went in to check on him. Needless to say, my brother in law was innocent of the toxic gas episode as he claimed. Apparently my son had not been to the bathroom (#2) the whole time we had been at disney which was probably 4 days at this point. My husband had to practically bathe him off in the bathroom and scrub the bathroom down before they exited. We still laugh about this one!

Last month, we stayed at Saratoga Springs. After breakfast at Artist's Palette, we were walking back to our room, when all of a sudden, I feel a big whack on the back of my head. I turned around, and a rather large crow had just flown into my head! Beak first, so it was painful as well as quite surprising! DH thought it was funny, because I have curly hair, and he said the bird thought it was a nest. Needless to say, I have been having visions of "The Birds" and looking around whenever I walk outside.

I love embarassing stories! I lost my bikini top on Summit Plummit at BB a couple years ago. I don't think you can get much more embarrassing than that!! Needless to say I wear a one piece now:rotfl:
ahhhhh......the primary reason old men hang out on the benches at the end of this ride, also known as 'pervert row'.
I may have to sit down with them at my visit next week to personally see what all the fuss is about, LOL.

My embarrassing moment was on the logn bus ride from MK to the Boardwalk after EMH.
My daughter who is autistic looks normal. The bus was so crowded with everyone packed in. I was able to get her a seat and I stood near her. Well being autistic she was tired and could not stay awake. She kept falling asleep on the shoulder of the man next to her. I kept telling her she must sit up. The man did not speak English so I couldn't even explain her situation to him. Finally he got up and motioned to me to sit next to her.

I'll Start:
A few years ago I started feeling sick while we were in Epcot. So I finally told my DW I really need to go back the room. So we got back to the Caribbean Beach Resort and I felt awful! I went to sleep for a while and when I woke up I felt a little better. My DW wanted to go to the food court and wanted to know if I wanted something. I said "I think I feel good enough to take a walk, I'll go with you." As we left the room we saw everyone outside there rooms and lining the sidewalks because they were watching the fireworks at Epoct.
Well half way to the food court I realize that I should NOT have come on this walk! My world starts spinning and I am looking for a bush a trash can something! With no luck I fall to my knees in the grass and begin to, well, you know I don't want to gross you out! And there are people everywhere. Parent's are hiding there kids eyes, kids are crying. Everyone must have thought "the nerve of this guy getting plastered and doing what drunks do during our family moment!":scared1: And all I could hear in the back ground was fireworks!
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!
The OP of this thread is my DH and I have to add to his embarrassing story since it was also really embarrassing for me- I wasn't embarrassed by him, but for him. Needless to say, he was so sick (I felt so bad for him!) that he doesn't remember all the details.
As he was "losing his lunch" (literally- that is what had caused him to get sick :sick:) we were in the prime place for everyone to see. I was immediately aware that there were families with kids looking out from their balconies at CBR so I tried to stand between DH and the building to block this wonderful site from the unexpecting audience. Because of the distance we were from the viewers and the sound of the fireworks, no one noticed- at first and I thought ok, DH is done, let's get moving. But NO... we would walk a few seconds and DH would start again. Finally one man sees us, covers his son's eyes as if we were doing something really inappropriate and starts yelling "If you can't hold your liquor, spare us the results!!!" :scared1: Of course, this drew the attention of everyone else within a 5 mile radius and then everyone was staring at us. Thanks, Mr. Big mouth!:sad2: I just kept rubbing DH's back and trying to shield everyone from seeing. I wanted to yell back at the guy since DH hadn't had a drink the whole trip! Thankfully, I got DH back to the room and after sleeping about 10 hours, he was completely fine the rest of the trip. In our many trips since then, we have seen lots of people get sick for various reasons and I also try to be understanding- it is really embarrassing when it is you or a loved one putting on that show for all to see! :rolleyes:

On arrival day - leaving my bag with my wallet, money and credit cards on the monorail. We had just gotten to MK rode a few things and were heading back to the hotel. I guess being at MK got me so excited I left it- thank goodness I realized right away and they got it and brought it back on the next go-around.

This is our favorite ‘I can’t believe I just witnessed this moment’ ever at WDW.
DH and I were on an adult’s only trip. We had spent the evening at Pleasure Island and were waiting for the bus back to the YC. The bus pulls up; we get on and so do this other couple. They were probably in their early 40’s and absolutely stinking drunk. It’s just the four of us on the bus and the whole ride back he is ranting and raving at her and she is crying. It was a long bus ride back. We finally arrive at the resort and let them off the bus first. They head toward the lobby still ranting/crying; we decide we have had enough of them and take the long way around to our room. Once in our room we pour some wine and head out to our balcony overlooking the boat dock to relax. Who do we see but our ‘friends’ from the bus stumbling down the path stopping at the bench across from the boat dock? He is still ranting and she is still crying. From what we could hear of his shouted remarks, his current gripe is how she only cares about his possessions and not him. So he yells something like ‘You can’t have them. Let’s start with the car’ and proceeds to pull his car keys from his pocket, do a big windup and throws the keys into the lagoon. DH and I are like frozen in our seats, afraid to move. Then he yells ‘Let’s get rid of it all’ and pulls his wallet from his pocket. At this point, we are both mumbling under our breaths ‘Don’t do it. Don’t do it.’ But you guessed it, into the water went the wallet. DH and I just stared at each other open mouthed. At this point, he seemed to have lost some steam and wondered off toward the BW. She sat on the bench for a bit and then headed back to the YC lobby. For DH and I, it was the preverbal train wreck where you just couldn’t look away. We always wondered if he remembered what he did with his keys/wallet when he sobered up.

when DS8 was 7mo old, we went to WDW for a short 4 day trip. While on Haunted Mansion, DS let us know it was feeding time, so under cover of darkness, DW obliged (breastfeeding)
Hey, no need to be embarrassed here! Haunted Mansion is an awesome place to nurse! Last time we were there, I specifically rode it to nurse :). It's dark, cool and you're in your own car. Perfect!
Here is my embarrassing moment: A couple years ago, we stayed at POP and we ate breakfast at the food court. One morning, I was carrying a tray full of food in one hand and a toddler on my hip. DD went to grab something from the tray and everything went flying! A kind on-looker helped me pick everything up and get new food :rotfl:

This happened when we were little kids, but I am sure it was a mortifying day for my parents. We were in WDW celebrating my brothers birthday. We had just gotten to the castle for dinner and my parents told my brother he could have anything he wanted. He chose filet mignon and Hawaiian Punch to drink. After dinner my brother wasn't feeling too hot, and we thought maybe he had gotten too much heat during the day. Just as the Main Street Electrical Light Parade is coming down the Parade route...music playing...just about to start....my brother starts to throw up in the MIDDLE of the parade route! Being the lovely little sister that I was....I was completely grossed out, and started yelling, "eewwww he's splashing my socks." That's when my mother instructed to have my father remove me from the situation ASAP. Cast members came running...parade is still coming towards us...those poor folks trying to clean up my brother, as you guessed it....the parade has to be stopped. To make matters worse, there was a man yelling from the sidewalk..."look, that little dude is puking red!" That's what really sent my mom over the edge! They quickly cleaned up the scene, my brother, and the parade continued past us. Needless to say, that was the end of our night, and I'm sure people were traumatized just as much as we were! It certainly was a trip we will never forget!!!
Not everyone gets to stop a Disney Parade. I am sure that won't be forgotten any time soon.

We were in the MK with our 3 year old son and we were with the multitudes trying to leave after the fireworks. We had setup a nice spot with some snacks and drinks and DS had his fill. On the walk to the ferry to take us back to the TTC, he told us he had to go to the bathroom. We figured that we could easily wait until we got to the TTC and go then rather than turn around and risk missing the next ferry. There are plenty of bathrooms there, right? Well, the wait to get onto the ferry was waaaay to long. So he tells us again but now he really has too go. Too late to turn back, we are on the ferry. The ride is longer than you think at that point and he is saying now that he REALLY has to go and it is hurting. We get off of the ferry and run to the bathroom and you guessed it, it's closed. Okay. Now what? We see some bushes near the bus that we have to take back to our hotel and figure we can do it there. But the bus is almost done loading and we need to get on as it is the last bus. Of course, there is no bathroom. By now, DS is crying and I feel for him. I am still carrying a large soda cup which is almost empty. I tell him that I can make his pain go away but he has to be very quiet about it. We are in the back seat and nobody is too close to us so we have him void his bladder into the cup. I cap it off and he is all smiles and he never made a sound. He thought it was really cool. So much so that as we are exiting the bus, he says to the bus driver. 'You know what mister? I peed on your bus'. I am so mortified that we just keep walking to throw out my toxic soda and leave the bus driver wondering just where he did it.

I brought her to Disneyland last year for her 16th bday. She is a thrill seeker and I am a show seeker. She wanted to ride California Screamin'....ugh. I HATE upside down rides, but since this was my DD's special trip, I told her I would try it. The line was 20 mins long and so for 20 mins I was watching the poeple load into the ride and take off at astronomical speed screaming their heads off. I had sweaty palms and felt sick to my stomach. We get on the ride, take off and I feel like I am gonna die.
I like the ride, but the drunk/concussed feeling after is definitely familiar to me.
If you go in the future, let DD go in the Single Rider line. Get the pass from the CM at the line, leave the line, go up the hill halfway and into the accessible gate that doubles as the SR line entrance. :)

AGREED! I haven't used HM for that (was closed when DS was 1 and DS refused to go after the stretching room so we took the chicken exit when he was 2 and after 2 we didn't nurse whenever wherever like when he was small), but POTC is also excellent for nursing purposes.

Okay, I have another one. I have a knack for getting selected for an extra at the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. I think I've been in it 5 times. The last time, I was also selected to help the director demonstrate how actors fall when they are shot. I was given a plastic knife and I was to approach him menacingly and he would shoot and I would fall. I put on my most serious bad guy face and started toward him and he yells 'Cut!!!' And in front of however many thousand people fit into that stadium when it's full, he points at my red and black crocs I am wearing under my tunic and says 'I'm sorry but I can't take you seriously in those things'. I can only imagine how bad it would have looked if I had socks on under them.

I was also going to say that POTC is great for nursing. It's a nice long and dark ride so by the time you get off the baby has a full belly and is ready to go.
Unfortunatly or forntunatly I don't have any embarassing stories at Disney.

My daughter got punched in the nose in a crowd of people in August 2008. The day before a hurricane was coming on shore the crowds were crazy at MK. At 9:00PM we got stuck on the bridge by Crystal Palace. (Since the other one by the castle was closed due to a remodel issue). We were stuck and the crowd was mad. Next thing I know my 3 yr old got hit in the nose by other angry mom wanting the crowd to move but it didn't! More angry issue but thought I'd share.

My family spends a lot of time at WDW, so there are plenty of opportunties to be embarassed. Here's two:
I fell in Space Mountain. The floor was wet. It was dark and I went end over applesauce and landed flat on my back. People were upset because I was blocking the fast pass line and they were literally stepping over me. What comes out of my mouth? "I've fallen and I can't get up" I'm lying there in horrible pain, everyone around me busted out laughing. I had to be dragged out. I don't know what was worse, the embarassment or the pain. :scared:
There was also the time DS wet his pants while waiting in line for TT many years ago. He announced to everyone around that he no longer had to go to the bathroom. as we all noticed the puddle at his feet. I asked him why he didn't tell us and he just said he didn't want to leave the line. Kids make us so proud. Even to this day - 7 years later - we always ask him if he needs to go before we get in line. He hates it. It's the memory that just doesn't go away. Can't wait to tell his future wife....

This actually happened in California Adventure park... California Screamin' was closed and there was a stand-alone sign near the front of the park advising when it would be open later that day. My daughter and I were walking hand in hand. I was looking off to my side at a mural and, unknown to me, she had turned around because she thought she saw money on the ground. Well she says I walked her into the sign..I thought she should have been looking where she was going. :)
She turned around just in time to run smack into the sign face first. The sign got knocked over and broke. She tripped and sprawled out on the sidewalk. I was laughing so hard I couldn't stand upright. A photo-pass person ran over to see if she was ok. All I could do was keep apologizing that the sign got broken. I pulled my DD up onto her feet and scooted out of there as fast as we could, considering I was walking like I was drunk due to uncontrollable laughter. DD was fine..had a little bruise on the side of her face. The whole time my DH and 2 DS saw what was happening and kept on walking, acting like they didn't know the the lady that sounded like a hyena laughing. I felt so bad for my DD but I ended up just making it worse since I couldn't get ahold of myself.

I know the fellows appreciate the show at the bottom of those slides :woohoo:, but I gotta wonder. why a person would wear a bikini to a water park and go on certain rides like summit plummet..isn't it logical..that a certain clothing item isn't going to survive the plummit?
Do the ladies just think they are well endowed enough it will stay in place or that they can hold it all in place? How does one decide? :rolleyes1
I am wise enough to know, no one wants to see me in a bikini, but I have always wondered why others wear them at the water parks. :confused3
Ummm...maybe to get a tan??

My wife would probably kill me if she knew I was posting this here, but if you don't tell her then I won't either;)
This happened a few years ago and only a few months after we were married. My parents, my sister and her husband and my wife and I were all down in Florida for a vacation together. My wife was still getting to know my family and wasn't totally comfortable around them yet... and a week on vacation with my parents and my sister and brother in law was a lot of my family for her to take in at once. We spent a few days in Palm Beach and then we drove up to Orlando to spend a few days at Disney. This was a three hour drive and we started pretty late at night so everyone was anxious to get to the hotel in Orlando.
Shortly after we started driving my wife realized that she had to go to the bathroom... badly... cramps and everything. So we tell my father (who was driving) and he pulls off at the next rest area. She runs in to the bathroom and... nothing happens. The feeling has passed and she just can't go. So we get back into the car, and of course, a short time later she has to go again. We ask my father to stop again and she runs into the bathroom and again... nothing. She's still not feeling very well and is terribly embarassed about the impression my family is getting of her, but we get back in the car and start out again. Of course, not too much later she has to go again... and this time it's even worse and the next rest stop isn't for miles.
She is totally desperate at this point and finally asked my father to stop on the side of the road and went off to the ditch behind some bushes and did what she needed to. I went back to the van and asked if anyone had some tissues or napkins or anything and my mother hands me her orange soda. I must have given her a blank look because she said "To help rinse with". I just kind of stopped and stared and tried to imagine how on earth she was expecting someone to rinse themselves off with orange soda on the side of the road... and how she figured that would actually make things any better. Finally I just mumbled "Um... no thanks" and took the tissues we could find back to my poor wife.
She was very glad it was dark out and kind of slinked back into the car. I'm not sure she could look any of my family in the face for the rest of that trip. Years later, after she had gotten to know my family better she finally told everyone her side of that story. And we realized that we never really had told them exactly what was happening. All they knew was that she wasn't feeling well in the car and they thought she had gotten out on the side of the road to throw up... the orange soda was offered so she could rinse her mouth out.

All they knew was that she wasn't feeling well in the car and they thought she had gotten out on the side of the road to throw up... the orange soda was offered so she could rinse her mouth out.
Hilarious Story. I was cracking up at the offering of Orange Soda. I am afraid one can wouldn't be enough...LOL...

This was DH's incident, however, I'm sure I was the guilty party in the eyes of the CM, LOL. We were leaving PNPP in 07, it was really late and by the grace of God there were hardly any people getting on the tram in the parking lot. My two older kids go in one seat, dh, my younger ds, myself and the stroller are right behind them, the CM is walking the tram to make sure everyone is seated, etc., and right before he gets to our car DH passes gas, and we're not talking regular, we're talking peel the paint of the walls, knock your wife out gas :scared1::scared: I turn to him and give him the look, and proceed to put my head down as I'm cursing to myself, just then the CM walks up and says 'ma'am are you ok?' I raise my head and tell him I'm fine, meanwhile the stank is lingering, and all I can think is OMG this man thinks I'm responsible for this horrendous odor, while DH is sitting there with a grin on his face! TG there was nobody else anywhere near us!!!

I had to get permission from my wife to tell this story because I'm pretty sure she'd divorce me if I told this without asking first! (She's nodding, yes, as I type this. lol) Anyway, this happened at Disneyland. We decided to go last summer for a date day and leave the little one at home. Well, we were standing around for the parade, and it was very crowded, anyway, a small group of people are trying to get past the area where we are standing, a woman in the group tripped over someone sitting on the ground and stumbled toward my wife. Her instincts told her to grab for a rail or ledge, however there was obviously not one on my wife she hurtled toward her, anyway, to make this long story short, she ends up catching a hold of my wife's tube top, accidentally yanks it down, but to make matters worse, the woman ends up falling to her knees and her face goes crashing right into what the top was just covering if you catch my drift. My wife turns fire engine red, pulls her top up as fast as she can. This poor woman who fell though, ended up making us feel more bad for her. She started crying and apologizing and offered to pay us back for our tickets. We told her it was an accident and it was not necessary. We actually ended up watching the parade together to calm her down. Poor thing felt sooooo bad.

I would like to thank everyone for posting. I have enjoyed these very much. I have had many embarrassing moments - however none of them have been at Disney, so I cannot share them here, sorry.

Sorry, thread title is Most Embarrassing Experience At Disney. Whew!!! But I do end up laughing at myself frequently. DH just rolls his eyes :rolleyes: and tries to pretend he's not with me if I do something embarrassing when he's around. Thankfully, I'm usually by myself. :rotfl:

In the middle of the day I take my two young daughters to eat while my wife rides Expedition Everest with the two older kids. As I am getting ketchup for the fries I spill the huge sprite all over the tray of food and ruined it all (30 bucks). A worker saw it and amazingly went and got all new food for us and was exactly what I ordered. She turned an embarrassing moment into a great act of kindness. That's one reason I can't wait to go back to WDW.

My embarrassing moment happened back in 2002.
DH took our sons to ride the Teacups, while I found a nice shady spot to watch them because spinning rides are just not my thing.
So, I sat down on a bench and took pictures from my perch, happy as a little clam.
When the ride was over, I got up to join them and we started walking to the next attraction.Thats when my youngest son, said Momma, did you poop your pants?
I twisted around and oh my gosh, I had a huge brown stain on the back and sides of my YELLOW shorts!
I guess I had sat down in someones melted mickey bar :mickeybar
Off to the restroom I went to see what I could do about cleaning it off. But the more I wiped and washed with the restroom paper towels, the worse it looked.
So, my female ingenuity kicked in, and I simply took them off and turned them inside out.Wala, no more stain, and I only looked slightly stupid walking around the rest of the day with my short seams on the outside.

Holy Crap!! I'm in the middle of eating my lunch while I'm reading these and when I read this one I started choking on my cracker b/c I was laughing so hard. Lesson to be learned: don't eat or drink while reading these types of threads. popcorn::
Thanks for making me laugh today. :rotfl2:

On the first morning of our sister's only trip, my sister and I went to breakfast at Fresh in the Dolphin hotel. I had taken cash with me, but my sister took her KTTW card. As we were eating we decided to put the bill for both of us on her KTTW card and use some of my cash for the tip because our server was soooo good.
Well, we she put her KTTW card in the bill holder and Edgard (our server) told her with a smile, "I'm sorry we do not accept the KTTW card here. Our bill was over $35 and I had only brought $25 with me, so not only could we not give Edgard the tip he so rightly deserved we couldn't cover our bill.
He called the manager who graciously discounted our ticket, but boy were we embarrassed. :scared:
