An observation and PSA

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

I don't know Grumpy. There's a quality there when you started out freshly showered and appropriately sprayed that even when it gets
Florida hot, can be tolerated. I'm talking about the distinct aroma of someone who doesn't own a can of Dial.

Hmm, true.

of course after a day of having fun, we go back to the hotel and take another shower before going to dinner!

Ladies- If you are wearing white shorts/capris please wear underwear. I know you may not want VPL but even a thong would be helpful. I would much rather look at your VPL than to see all your personal parts. >>>



OMG! I'm having a flashback to my personal "most embarrassing moment" at WDW. I bought the cutest white capris at Old Navy for our trip to WDW a few years ago. They were light weight, rolled up at the bottom with these cute snap strap things. Loved them!

On our Epcot night we were determined to see Illuminations even though the forecast called for rain. So we stand there..it drizzels, didn't faze us The show starts and we are thinking "how bad could it be if Disney is going to do the show?"

It starts raining a bit...all the smart people leave. Still we are thinking it will pass or let up or something. It rains harder....and harder until yes, we and all the other optimists are completely soaked..to the skin. Then I notice my white pants are now see thru and I have to do the walk of shame all the way to the boat dock to get back to BW. Do you think any of my family would loan me the shirt off their back to tie around my waist? DH didn't want to give me his T and go naked from the waist up, and DD 13 would'nt give up her sweat shirt cause she was soaked through also and her bra was showing. DD 2 was trying to stay afloat in her stroller pool.

I was dying... as we stood in line for the boat I just apologized to anyone with in hearing and tried to laugh at myself. Another soaked lady behind me commented she was just thinking to herself, "well at least I wasn't wearing white!" LOL, thanks lady

Wait in the boat line, ride the boat, enter the hotel , ride the crowded elevator, walk the long, long hallway, finally our room .

I bet whoever bought those pants from Goodwill wonders why someone would donate "brand new pants!"

Oooh...I just had an "incident" last month!! DH and I decided to go to Universal for a few days and on our second I wore a Really cute little sundress. It's "base" was white, but it has designs all over it (in color). Anyways...we figured that day would be great for water rides. And ride them we did. A couple rides in...soaked to the skin...I realized there was a lack of "color" around my BUTT. And that even so...it was VERY thin material. I'd been smart enough to wear my bikini top under the dress...so no worries there. But I had on my *ahem* thongs...so my butt could be seen!!! ACK!! I walked around holding the back of my dress off me so that people couldn't see!! Sooo embarassing.

Any pictures? Let us judge if you should have been embarrassed.

 

[Kickapoo Joie Juice]

Yeah, I've learned-I don't wear white to Disney anymore.

Either you sit on something gross (there's a panoply of grossness you can sit on at WDW), or you get wet.

Patterns. Patterns are good. Underwear is a personal choice.

There are so many smells in Disney, picking manky BO out of the crowd's difficult. At some point you get nose overload from the smell of WDW: funnel cakes, vomit, bo, diapers, hot pavement, sweat, popcorn, etc. that you end up breathing out of your mouth, anyway.

Thanks for sharing! Needed a good smile today.

i guess it depends on what level your nose is at. I'm 5 feet tall, armpit level to a normal-sized human.

 

[kellyg403]

I would agree a 100%....!!! I really can say that once and only once did I have a TMI or TM in my line of vision. I nice guy in front of us in the line to the teacups. Chatting aways...leans over to talk to his 3 ft dd only to display the family jewels that were hidden under his shorts.. Let me just say, I gasped..and then looked away but sometimes the sight is just sooooo...well, its hard to look away when its RIGHT there. Now, I look away before I can see anything...if someone in front of me starts to bend over, I turn away quickly..everybody keeps their business to themselves!

... And while you're at it, please make that flesh-colored underwear with some opacity to it! White under white doesn't help if your goal is discretion.

I have never understood what the great disaster is with VPL, as long as your undies are not so tight that you have a whole batch of muffins under your belt. Really, wouldn't you rather bystanders knew that you have underpants on than to have them be speculating that you don't? I keep having flashbacks to high school, when our break area was a long hallway where we had to sit on the floor. I had a lot of male friends, and whenever some girl walked by with no VPL, they ALWAYS speculated aloud that she probably wasn't wearing any underwear, and it was never a flattering comment. There is one girl that I personally cannot remember anything else about, except the fact that she was colloquially known as "that no-underwear girl."

 

[Keggy]

We live close to the parks so we are there quite often. All I have to say is, "There's another one!" and my DH knows that I am referring to another woman who is not wearing a bra, that should be.

What especially gets me is the women who wear no bra with sleeveless shirts or tank tops with large arm holes so you can see everything. I can understand that some woman just don't care - but I personally I just don't get it.

Just sending a note of thanks to you. I've been missing WDW and feeling regretful that we chose not to go this June. Since the publication of this paragraph, however, I feel SO much better.

I'm not a thong lover and as many as I have tried I just can't get used to them, so here I am stuck wearing my "granny panties". We go to AK one day, I'm wearing my tan shorts ~ not white, but tan, like khakis ~ They're not particularly thin or lightweight, so without putting much thought into it, I put on my pink granny panties ~ hot pink ~. We went on Kali River Rapids and I was the only one that got soaked, of course. Only then do I realize that my shorts are entirely see through and everyone in the park is now looking at my hot pink granny panties I was so embarrassed but at the same time I was never so grateful that I hate thongs

Anything I can do to help

There are good smells in Disney, too-for me the iconic "Disney Smell" is at the Meadows Trading Post at FW. I don't know what it is about that building, but it brings me right back to being 12 years old and at WDW for the first time ever.

Panty lines are just ugly, imo. It's like, hey, look at my butt, I'm definitely wearing underwear that squeezes my cheeks into four separate hemispheres (or more).

The lowrider t-backs in cotton are really comfortable and you don't have the dental floss in the heinie sensation, and you don't get vpl.

I think the next time I'm back in WDW I'll do a weekend of taking pictures of people's butts. I'll have to ask the mods ahead of time if photos and discussions of people's behinds at WDW is ok for the dis...

To which I would add:

Ladies. If you are going to wear a sundress that is so tight and short that you apparently borrowed it from your grade school age daughter walking with you, please keep downwind and below eye level of the rest of us. Especially if you eschew panties. NONE of us needed the free show as you walked up that slight incline. And I'm sure your dd was none too thrilled at the snickers and commentary the show elicited from the people around you.

 

[DWGal210]

Can I get an "Amen!" on this topic - I hear ya!

I am also always amazed how many young girls are wearing shorts SO short, I can only classify them as denim underwear. Or khaki underwear, as the case may be. I don't think girls should have to walk around in long skirts, wear long sleeves and show no skin, but come on?! I always wonder if they get ready, then run out of their rooms and get on a park bus before their parents see how they are dressed for the day!

I was going to make a joke about since Vegas tried to make itself Kid Friendly, maybe Disney was secretly trying out the Adult Friendly venue?

But mostly I think my reaction would have been "Augh! My eyes! My eyes!"

 

[BCV513]

I've got one!


Gentlemen, if you would like to change out of your bathing suit and into your shorts at Blizzard Beach, please do so in the bathroom, not in front of your locker. I saw one man trying to do this a few years ago, and in his rush he got his foot caught in the wet bathing suit and fell to the ground on his back. Naked from the waist down.

Thankfully, he was as hairy as the Yeti, so no one could really see anything. Seriously, I could have braided his shoulder hair.

Isn't that what Cap'n Jack Sparrow had to do to get off the island?

LOL...I am sooooo stealing that!

... And while you're at it, please make that flesh-colored underwear with some opacity to it!

Check and double-check. Several pairs are already in the suitcase, rarin' to go! And, as an added safety measure, only long tops will be worn with the thin cotton bermudas. Why tempt fate?!
