[mushumadness]

our oldest son is a disney honeymoon souvenir lol

saw a guy walk into the pool at pop century fully clothed lol, he was trying to coax his son out, and over stepped, you never saw such a look

 

[mommy2allgirls]

I have a few I could add...

1st was in 2003 my Dh and I went to WDW for our honeymoon and even though were took several precautions we ended up with a little souvenir. We say disney is magical because we were preventing multiple ways! She is now 5!

2nd was in 2008 we went and were waiting to eat in Germany at Epcot and all of the sudden my oldest dd threw up all over me. My dad had to run, by the way he has a bad hip, to get me new clothes. She has never puked as much as she did that time. It was awful.

Then this past June my Dh and I went to WDW for a day without the kids to celebrate our anniversary. We were in line at the Epcot monorail to get back to the T&TC to get back to Magic Kindgom and it started to really pour. Well the monrail ended up breaking and they told us to go to the bus. I was in a wheelchair and my Dh pushed me through water that was just below my knees while sitting in the wheelchair it was sooo flooded on the way to the buses. I was in a park wheelchair so I had a big pole at the top of my wheelchair and it was lightening so we were scared I was a big target and b/c so many people needed to get to the T&TC it was crowded and we had to wait for a while. We ended up soaked and waiting in a flooded line. We still had fun and it will be a night we will always remember!

I am really loving all the responses on this thread, but unfortunately I think I have everyone beat on this subject.

In 1999 I went with my family, which consisted of me, DW, DS1 1/2, MIL, FIL, and 3 younger BIL's. I was 22 years old, my wife and I had been married for just around a year and a half. We stood in the tree houses at Disney Institute for 5 days. It was going to be an awesome trip, or so I thought.

On the first night there, my wife told me that she was moving back home with her parents when we got back. She was leaving me!!! At the time, I was shocked and completely confused. So I spent the next 4 days feeling like a complete idiot, because it was me and her whole family there the entire time. She told me that if she came home after the trip, it would be too hard to leave. Let's just say for that trip WDW was not the happiest place on earth.

Luckily it did not ruin my love for Disney, and I made my next trip with my new wife and daughter 6 years later. And, the magic returned. We are going again this February.

WOW!!!!!!!!! How heartless! I am glad you found happiness again and the magic returned. Sending some pixie dust your way

Sounds to me like you had a pine squirrel in your room, they're much smaller, reddish in color and mean as hell! They chase regular squirrels and always win! We have black, brown, gray squirrels in MN. They're little pigs! We even had a white one in the hood for the longest time.

1999 - We ran into TWO families from our town of 2400 that had children in my brother's graduating class in MK. Kinda cool.

Fast-forward to 2009:

~ 2nd day at Disney, at EPCOT at open - saw two or three spots of vomit just past the ticket counters. ACK!
~ At AKL, waiting for MK bus for CP dinner - family with one or two kids sitting on benches, daughter bends over and throws up ALL OVER. Mom & Dad get in "argument" about whether or not the little girl is, indeed, okay. The girl shakes her head yes, and they board the bus for EPCOT. SO glad we weren't going there! I would have hated to be on that bus.

Yes, January/February 2009 the norovirus was in full effect. It's a miracle that neither my Mom or I got it! The trip almost got canceled because three days prior to leaving my mother came down with the stomach flu...we should have rescheduled. Despite being able to walk on to practically any ride (thanks, norovirus!), it was the most miserable trip EVER - temps were in the 40's the entire week...it was warmer in Central Illinois than it was in Orlando during the entire trip.

I'm hoping and praying that our trip next month is MUCH better!

I have had a few things that have happened to us at WDW over the years.

My DH calls me and says his WDW bus has been in a accident. Another bus had rear ended them. There were some injuries but my DH and daughter were fine. She refused to step foot on a WDW bus for the rest of the trip. The same trip I am getting off the bus with my then baby. The driver turns off the bus. We are in between the doors. The doors close on my DD's legs. She too was ok because of the kindness of strangers. They pulled the doors open for us.

On our first Wonder cruise last year on the last night my hubby wakes up at 3am and begins vomiting and has montezumas. All of our extra clothes are in our suitcases which we left outside our door the night before and are now gone. I have to run down to the medical bay to get my DH some Imodium and motion sickness pills. I luckily found him another pair of underware in our day bag. I think I overdosed him because he slept the whole plane ride home. Then that night my DD's begin to get sick. Luckily or unfortunately I was the only one who didn't get sick.

On our second trip I was fine on the plane but became sick that night with a cold that lasted 6 out of seven days. I ran around WDW with a hacking cough and a red nose.

We went to the "Little Mermaid Show." A girl in front of us proceeds to puke all over the place. It's pitch black in the theater. No CM comes to help. We had to sit through the rest of the performance smelling puke. And her parents just sat there like nothing had happened.

But you know what? It's still the best place on Earth and we will be back next week!

On my son's first trip to Disney he was almost 3 years old, and had been potty trained since 2 1/2 years. So I didn't think we needed to worry about anything, but I hadn't counted on the auto flush toilets. He was so scared about them that he kept telling me he didn't have to go. Back then I didn't know how to stop them from flushing.

So finally I told him we have to take a potty break. I left my husband with the stroller and my younger ds, and took my oldest ds to the bathroom. Well we made it into the stall, pulled down his pants, and he peed all over the floor and his pants. It wasn't just a little bit. It was like a flood. We were stuck in the stall with no extra clothes or anything. He did not want me to pull back up his soaked pants. So I had to just pull his shirt down like a dress and walk him back to the stroller with his dripping pants where he put on a pair of his little brothers pants until we could find the one store in Magic Kingdom that sold boys underwear. We bought a 3 pack of undies and a pair of very expensive mickey sweats.

The emporium on main street, right?! I spent a day searching for boys underwear as well!!

Sorry for the flashblack. Never really gave my baby toe much thought before that.

I broke my pinky toe this spring and DH gave me NO sympathy! It hurt for weeks!

On our trip in 2007 at Pizzafari in the Animal Kingdom, a man and a lady got into it. He was mad because she had gotten in line on the opposite side of the register AFTER he did and she still got waited on BEFORE he did. It appears that many people don't know that they take orders on BOTH sides of the register. Anyway, she begins to order and he starts making loud, rude comments about how he should be ordering...and then proceeds to shove her as she's finishing her order!!! A couple of CMs ending up escorting him out of the restaurant shortly afterwards.

I have also had a couple of rude statements thrown at me for walking up to the opposite side of the register where the line is short/non-existent and ordering before others.

I have 2.
We took our kids, then 4 years and 4 months to WDW.
When we were in DHS, we took both kids to the Playhouse Disney Show. I had the baby on my lap, and could not believe how calmly she was sitting "watching the show" - total Disney fan. Not so much. It turns out that she was pooping all over my lap. When the show ended and I went to stand up I discovered I was covered in poop as was she.
The only shorts I could find to fit my post-partum body comfortably had TINK on the bum, and I ended up wearing them all day.
On the plane ride home I wore them, and every time I got up to go to the restroom my sister would say "oh! Tink needs to tinkle." Thinking about it still cracks me up.

My other funny story - same day.
We were sitting at dinner at the 50's Diner. It was a really rainy day, we'd had a long wait to get seated and DS (4) was restless. Before I could stop him he bounced his fork and it went flying through the air. There was a table behind us with a couple in their 50's. The man and had been giving our energetic family dirty looks throughout the meal, and as the fork went flying at him I was panicking. However, the fork landed neatly in the pocket of his button-down shirt. It was so ridiculous that the man started laughing - turned bright red and started crying it was so funny. And then we started laughing.
His wife turns to me and says "we're in freaking Disney and he doesn't crack a smile till your son throws a fork at him. Maybe I should have tried that 3 days ago."

When we were evacuated from Key West to Orlando during a hurricane 5 years ago w decided since we were there why not check Disney World out. The military discounts were good so.... We took our daughter (4) and son (3). The first day we went to the MK. The kids recognized all the charaters from the movies they loved and went nuts. After face painting, rides, ice cream, parades, toy stores and fireworks they were beat. We got back to the Shades of Green and took the long walk to the room all the while the kids were sleeping soundly in our arms. When we got to the room I laid my daughter in the bed with her Sleeping Beauty costume puffy all around her and the unicorn on her face perfectly painted. She opened her eyes and whispered to me "Mommy, there really is magic" After that night I was hooked on Disney. It only keeps getting better but I will remember that one forever. I never thought that one of my favorite memories of my life would have been at Disney.

 

[Lissypiggy]

Did they have warning sings or anything? I'm from Minnesota and never even thought about gaters in Florida till someone said we can't swim on the fake beaches cus of the gaters. I'd be wading in it and not even thinking about it! We don't have them up here!

Nope no signs. They did tell us not to swim in he water though. But not why. . .

So our first trip with the whole family (Party of 13), we were just sitting down to see the Lion King and I was holding my youngest brother in law (he's 7 months older than mine)....anywho, I was bouncing him on my knee and he lunged forward unexpectedly and busted the bridge of his nose in between his eyes. There was blood everywhere and it was just a mess! My FIL wasn't thrilled.

He's 3 now and still has his "souviner scar" and a Simba stuffed animal.

 

[onehotdisneymama]

I am so enjoying reading about fellow Disney World adventures....Keep em coming..

 

[princessdi81]

I can't believe that I almost forgot the BEST and most shocking of all my Disney stories....

2009-
It's still the first day of our trip...we went to Magic Kingdom that morning, and then ate lunch at Tony's. We caught the bus to AKL (packed bus, might I add), and on the way back to the hotel the bus started swerving and the bus driver was all but laying on the horn. Next thing I know, I see another bus (from one of the DTD resorts) about to run directly into the side of our bus! Our bus driver quickly reacts and drives the bus off the road, in the grassy area. It was one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me. We got the other buses identification number as well as our bus driver's name so that we could call the proper hotel to which the bus belonged and properly thank our bus driver - thanks to her quick thinking she saved a bus full of people. (And people say that women can't drive - HA!)

We had spent a long day in the parks and had 2 exhausted kids. After getting them back to the hotel (POR) and in bed I decided I was going to do laundry. I took my laundry and a book. I threw the clothes in the washer and settled in a lounge chair by the pool with my book. To my surprise, and more so to theirs, I interrupted a young couple who were spending some "quality time" together in the pool!

There was quite a scramble to reassemble bathing suits!
