Anyone ever lost Something on a ride??

[momtimesone]

This last trip my brother was on space mountain with us when his cell phone slipped out of his pocket. He noticed this just as we left the building he ran back up the exit way and told the cm there. The cm handed him his phone it turns out the guest that got in his rocket after him turned it into the CM.I have a sling type pouch that I wear on all rides and it contains my video camera and other important things I am not leaving outside the ride.I bring it on all rides with me and have never had any problems with it.

I lost my sunglasses on EE and got them back at the end of the day at guest services.

A year and a half ago, we were at Epcott. I had gone to stand in a refreshment line while my wife and kids went to get fastpasses for Soarin'.

Well, a bit later, I asked for the tickets (my job was to keep our tickets in my pocket), and she handed me four fastpasses and three tickets... not four. My personal 10 day park hopper ticket (we were on day two, I think?), room key for Wilderness Lodge, and (in effect) credit card (since we had tied charging to the adult tickets) was missing.

We went back to the fastpass machines, where she figured she must have left it in the slot, but no luck. We checked with the nearby cast members, but no one had seen it or had any turned in. So I sent the family off to the Kodak section and I walked to guest services, anticipating everything from a hassle, to possible fees, to maybe even having to purchase a new ticket.

As it turns out, I had nothing to worry about. The cast members there happily cancelled my previous ticket and assured me that there was no chance of unauthorized charging due to the incident. I was issued a paper ticket good for the rest of the day, and told that my new plastic ticket/room key card would be waiting for me at the front desk of our resort that evening... which it was, of course.

The cost? Nothing but me asking "please". Disney is the best!

How about a 'found' story. When we got on Dinosaur we found someone's birth control pills! We gave them to the CM who mentioned maybe someone would be taking back quite the disney souvenier. We just thought it was odd someone took them to the park.

Last year we took our 5 month old DD on POTC. She was riding on my lap and as we went down one of the drops in the dark, I felt something hit my arm. When we emerged back into light, I noticed that she no longer had her pacifier. DW and I still joke that a Pirate stole her Paci!!!

A few years ago I was riding buzz lightyear's space ranger spin and I had a bag of souveneirs that conveniently slipped out of the ride vehicle and went like under the conveyor belt thing that moves the ride along. My mother asked a ride attendant after the ride what to do about it and they said they couldn't do anything so we just re-bought the souveneirs that we had. It wasn't really a big deal. Probably $25 worth of stuff at the most. I'm glad it wasn't something more important.

I can't believe they wouldn't help you!!!!! That happened to us too, but the CM was very helpful. MIL's purse flew out of Buzz with car keys, wallet, room key, cc, etc... The CM grabbed the pichers and rode with her, they saw it, missed it, rode around again and grabbed it.

Don't ride Summit Plummit with anything in your pocket. My DH had our locker key and a $20 in his pocket for snacks and drinks, the pocket velcrowed all the way across, but at 68 miles an hour, I guess lots of things happen. My DD had just came down and got out when my husband came down and she said hey dad, isn't that our locker number, so he snatched it up, but by that time the cm was running them out afraid that the next person down would hit them, anyway all his pockets were inside out and everything was gone. He was afraid he would not see part of his shorts again, ha ha. But they said that there was change and lots of dollars in the water at the end, so I guess we weren't the only ones who lost something. Dena

Three years ago we went to WDW with another couple. My best friend "Beth" was on the Dinosaur ride at the AK and her brand new digital Camcorder went flying off the ride...we were all so upset and she spoke to tons of CM's to try and locate the camcorder..2 days later she got a call at our resort that it was located and she could retrieve it at the lost and found! It made our trip!!!

I buy a lanyard with one of those plastic card holders attached to it, I attach it to one of my belt loop. It holds my license, a credit card, key card, and whatever fastpasses I get. Can't really go wrong with it, and it saves you from losing stuff.

 

[M-I-C-K-E-Y]

I've seen many persons on WDW rides who "lost their lunch," so to speak... I'm fairly certain that none of them wanted it back afterwards...

I left my Sunglasses in the little mesh thingy that holds your bags and stuff on Expedition Everest. They weren't expensive at all, but they were my favorite!! Luckily I realized it after about 15 minutes, went back....and somebody who sat in the same seat as me handed them in. THANK YOU!!! We've lost our Season Passes a MILLION times, but luckily those are replaceable with just showing our License. Everytime I see anything that looks like someone might have lost it, I'm quick to turn it in because that Karma comes back, ya know!! And besides that, Disney World is the happiest place on Earth, isn't it?!?! We sure don't want a bunch of people all sad because they lost their things and some rude person decided to pick them up and walk off with them!!

In Dec. '06, my son (11 at the time) and my husband took the early morning Steam Train tour at MK. My son has Asperger's Syndrome (a mild form of autism) and trains are his thing! Everyone on the tour got a personalized name badge that you can only get by taking the tour. My son was proudly wearing his badge all over the park that day. At one point, we were standing on the bridge near Tomorrowland that overlooks the moat around the castle. The top of the bridge came up to exactly where his badge was pinned on his shirt and somehow as he leaned on the bridge it came unpinned. Wouldn't you know it? It promptly fell into the moat!

The poor guy started crying and said we should tell a CM to drain the moat to find his badge. I told him I was sure I could get him another one. I went to City Hall and explained the dilemma. The CM went in the back and came out with another badge. I went outside where my husband was waiting with the boys. My son said, "No luck, huh?" When I showed him the badge, his adorable little face just lit up! Mommy was treated like a hero for the rest of the day!

My husband's $85 shades are at the bottom of Space Mountain.

i lost my MIND on Its a small world but i dont think that counts

On Space Mountain my last trip (during x-mas week 08), I had my AP, Driver's Licenses, Key to the World, and Money in that clip-on thing at the bottom of my landyard. It was nudged in between myself and the bar of the ride, and somehow, the clear holder thing managed to weasel itself out of the little clip holding it onto the lanyard. (Mind you, it was one of those round clips, found commonly on key chains). Luckily, I realized I lost it as soon as I was off the ride, and my cousin remembered the exact car we were in. So I told the CM and they phoned the rider attendant and out came my stuff! Thank god, because I was so upset.

So I would say it all depends how quickly you realize it's gone, and whether it's easily retreivable.

DH lost his hat on splash mountain - next to last drop - it was a limited edition Michelin racing hat, so he was disappointed. We did not think to tell a CM, since we figured it went into water forever. Then we had to shop for about an hour for a hat to replace that one, because he is particular how they fit.

This didn't happen to me, but last week, during the Pirates and Princess Party, a little boy pirate lost his pants on the Peter Pan's Flight ride!

We were waiting in line, just about to board, and heard a little boy screaming, looked to the left and saw a little boy who had the top part of his pants leg wrapped around his foot while the rest had been scooped under the plate of the moving sidewalk where you unload. I was about to jump over and cut the pant leg with my little sewing kit scissors, when someone was able to pull it off him, but the poor thing had no pants!

He was scared to death, then embarassed and the CS's just stood around talking. I finally yelled over to them that someone should go to the store and get the poor kid something to wear and then one of them took off, hopefully, to do just that.

That poor kid was traumatized, I'm sure, and my DD5 held her princess dress up to her waist everytime we got on or off a ride for the rest of the night (which was actually pretty funny, luckily she had shorts on underneath), as she was afraid she'd get stuck, too.

Those moving floors can be dangerous! Make sure your kids don't have anything too long and/or anything hanging down around their legs/feet when riding.
