Awkward/Funny Moments at Disney

"How do I make this stop?" Dad had come up behind her and said, "Show him a picture of your mother."

On our last trip in December, I was in the store on Main Street, that sells all the crystal. I was looking at some nice engraved wine glasses to bring home for my dad. Im telling my kids 6 and 4 NOT TO TOUCH A THING! As I turn around, my little purse backpack swipes a picture frame on to the ground..you hear the CRASH....then everyone else who is shopping......OHHHHHHHHH. I was mortified. A CM comes over, and I say, just tell me where to pay. She says oh no, dont worry about it. But, are you okay, I say yes Im fine. She says oh well, there is blood on your leg. OMG....yes I was bleeding, didnt even know it. I said oh well I have a first aid kit, I can handle it, I just LEFT sat outside and took care of it. Walked around with blood on my shoes all day. The shout wipes only took off so much. Needless to say, I didnt buy the glasses, they got coffee mugs instead. LOL

I have one of those awkward moments that I am just glad happened to a friend and not to me. There were 13 of us on the bus about to go back to our hotel after the Grand Gathering Safari. There was another family going to a different resort also on there. Anyway my friend's DD4 was not feeling well all day and had skipped everything up to the GG. She did the safari although said her stomach did not feel well. She ate a little at the dinner but seemed fine. We get on the bus waiting to go back to the hotel and as we are waiting she starts feeling sick and tells her dad, who promtly grabs her to run off the bus. He was just not quick enough. Well the smell became bad that is not the bad part of the story. Since he was holding her in his arms as they went off, we were in the back and the back doors were closed, he went past the other family. There was a boy, probably 10-12, sitting there who got the worst Disney moment ever. All over his head. He just sat there though letting it drip from his hair onto the floor. The other family had some towels and was trying to get him cleaned off. To this day I still cannot understand how he did not lose his lunch when it happened. Later, I asked the father if he said anything to the boy and he said he apologized deeply and gave him $40 for a new shirt and shorts. It had to be one of the grossest moments I have ever witnessed.

I can't believe I am going to share this. I was absolutely mortified at the time.

Last year, we went to WDW on the dining plan. We ate at LeCellier. It was myself, DH, DS age 9 and DD who was 2.5. We were seated in one of the first tables as you enter to be seated. DD started off eating fine. She kept saying she had to gp potty and I would take her to the bathroom. Since she was starting to potty train, I would take her whenever she said she had to go. Let's just say, that she learned she could get out of her high chair frequently if she said she had to potty. There she kept saying it, and we would go, and she would sit on the toilet for one minute then get off without going potty. After, probably 6 unsuccessful trips to the bathroom, our dinner arrived. I had caught on to her little game and when she said it, I wouldn't take her......she was in a pull up anyway and she really didn't have to go. Well, after she was turned down a couple of times for going potty, she starts saying that she has to go poopy...which she had never even done on the toilet before. Since, DS age 9 thought this was funny, he kept laughing, and the more he laughed, the louder she would say she had to poopy...causing our neighbors to laugh as well . Thankfully, our server, who was a very nice girl, got DD some ice cream, then she ate that, and never mentioned the bathroom again. It was a rough 10-15 minutes though. We had the camera with video, but I didn't tape it, because I didn't want to keep encouraging her to say it.

DH is 35.

He went to Disney at least 5 times as a kid/teen.

We have been 6 times together.

He STILL insists on calling it the Magical Kingdom. It drives me NUTS!!!

That's too funny - my DH (whose first ever trip to WDW was last year for our 15th wedding anniversary) has been calling "Magic Kingdom" - "Fantasy Island" since that trip. It took me awhile to figure out what he was talking about it, but I finally caught on. But I can relate - it still drives me nuts!

This still makes me laugh.

We were on the Jungle Cruise and the CM asked a little kid if he wanted to "drive the boat." If you have never been, it is important to note that the boat is on a track so you aren't really driving. Well, the boat comes upon "danger" (waterfall maybe?) and as the CM points this out the kid (who was all of 6-7) starts frantically trying to steer and screaming, "OH SH*T! HOLY CR@P!" It was hysterical.

OMG that is just hysterical!!!

 

[tinkgurl]

Oh my, some of these stories are just whacked.....makes you wonder doesn't it?

My awkward moment has to do with my granddaughter. She was 3 at the time and coming from far northern Minnesota she hadn't ever seen a black person.
So we're standing in line and I notice her staring at the man behind us.

And she stares.

And she stares some more.

I KNOW what she's going to say so I brace myself for it.

She opens her little peep and says "Hey mister! YOU are VERY black!!"



Luckily the man was the sweetest of fellows and he gave a big bellylaugh, patted her on the head and said "Hey little girl! YOU are VERY pink!"

It was soooooo embarrassing...but kids, waddayagonnado?

Good thing he had a good sense of humor!

Here's my awkward/frustrating moment from my last trip:

I have IBS...irritable bowel syndrome...basically sometimes depending on what I eat, well, it just doesn't sit right and I wind up sitting down about 1/2 hour later.

So my parents, my brother, and I get to MK on our first day shortly after 2 PM and we're starving. I neglected to bring my magical "blue pills" that curb my "issue" so I opted for the most harmless-sounding item on the menu...a salad with grilled chicken, strawberries, and a light vinaigrette dressing. We finish our meal and head for Buzz Lightyear.

As we stand in line, I start to feel the rumble. I tell myself it's my nerves...it's my first time at WDW in 20 years...I'm just excited. As we progress in line, the rumbling continues. I ignore it. Darn it...this is going to be our first ride together at WDW at a family (well, my DB did ride the tea cups in utero 20 years prior, but I don't think that counts)...I will not miss it.

I missed it. Just as we got to the entrance to the ride, the urge became too great...I made a beeline for the b-room while my parents and brother took a Space Ranger Spin. My first ride at WDW in 20 years was on white porcelain.

I got back to the ride just as my family was getting out, so they rode (again) with me.

Thankfully since then, I've gotten my tummy issues under control!

Oh dear-- this is the most embarrassing thing I have ever done- but I don't know how funny it will seem "typed out.."

So, we were at LTT with DH's brother who is 14 at the time (his first trip to WDW). So, we love character meals, and always try to think of something clever to say to the characters. So, DH tells me to say something sweet to Goofy when he comes over. I waited and waited, and I guess the anticipation (and being REALLY tried!) let out all at one when he came over, bc I yelled,

"GOOFY! I love your outfit, you look like a PIMP!!"

Oh no....

Goofy just does the -confused- look, and leaves...QUICKLY-- and never comes back!

DH still teases me about this-- HOW EMBARRASSING!

This thread is turning into "Your Most Embarrassing Moments At WDW" lololol......well then , ok, I have one......It had to be the time I ran over my own daughter with her own stroller Walking through Epcot, she's 4 and in a single Disney rental, I dont even know how the heck it happened, I think that I wasnt paying attention and she wasnt sitting in it like a "good girl should"....next thing I know, she's on the ground like road-kill, with the wheels on top of her!!! I'm laughing so hard my legs are crossed, my DH is walking away he's so embarrassed, my daughter's mortified that her mom just ran her down.....all this in front of hundreds of Epcot-goers!!! classic!

Two years ago, right before we went on vacation, my sis had to have knee surgery. We knew she'd have to be in a wheelchair most of the trip but we didn't want that to ruin our fun! Well, I was going to take a picture of my parents with the Epcot ball in the background so I let go of my sis's wheelchair to take the picture. As I'm taking the picture I hear her start saying my name really slow and when we turned to see what she wanted, she was rolling down this hill on the pavement backwords and didn't know how to stop! We started running after her and laughing at the same time! Let's just say the rest of the trip we made sure her wheel stopper was down before we let go of her!

When we went at Christmas in 2006 we heard some hick family talking to another on the bus. they had a 7 year old boy say "Momma I want to go to the Magical Kingdom! Not Epcots!" Then Mom says "We'll go tomorrow and then we'll go to that zoo, and then the movie park." My dad (DisneyRefugee) looks at me and says "Thank god I raised you well to know the correct names of the parks" (We have gone since I was 3) and i said (immitating the boy. by this time we were off the bus at Epcots. ) "I want to go to Magical Kingdom!" we both roared out laughing!

Maybe instead of making fun of people who obviously have had only one trip to Disney World you and your dad could just have reflected on how LUCKY you are to have been going since you were 3? Wow. How shallow.

In November of 2004 me and DH, DD 3, DD 9, and my DSIL DBIL went to Disney for a family trip. We were staying at All star Movies and had dinner ressies at 1900 park fair. My three yr old had just turned three and had only been potty trained for 6 months or so. We took the bus over to the Magic kingdom and then from there were gonna take the monorail over to the Grand Floridian. once on the buss my daughter starts crying that she has to go pee. Well its not like I can ask the bus driver to stop so I tell her to hold it for just a few minutes. We make it to the magic kingdom and then hurry as fast as we can to the Grand Floridian. We get there and I make a beeline for the restroom. I failed to mention my daughter is dressed as cinderella. We get into the bathroom and her panties and tights are soaked but luckily her dress is dry. I take off her underwear and tights and pitch them in the garbage (I got some funny looks there) and then head out to the gift shops to look for panties or anything. I finally had to pay $11 for 5 diapers and put one of those one her. She was upset because she hadnt wore diapers for some time but she got over it. By the time we finally met up with our party they were seated and eating already.

I can perfectly see where she's coming from if sombody spent all that money on a vacation you think they'd plan it enough to atleast know the name of the park.

She is so shallow for jokeing around with her dad about somebody messing up a name.

....next thing I know, she's on the ground like road-kill, with the wheels on top of her!!!.........

This one was on our way to WDW last year and I believe it falls in the category of AWKWARD...

My MIL had chosen to accompany us on this trip as it was my DS5's first trip to the world. We chose to fly, but it had been so long since any of us had been to an airport that we had forgetten to be extra careful about what we packed in our carry-ons. (Here's an aside: my MIL is a very loud, almost obnoxious person who talks without thinking it all through at times.) Anyways, we had checked into the airport around 6am and were going through security with our carry-ons. Me, DW, and DS made it through but they decided to stop MIL. They confiscated her lighter as well as her father's old swiss army knife, which she's carried since he died and just forgot to remove it, and made her exit the airport and return them to our car. Well, the three of us waited right beside the security post and she came back and walked through again clear and free. Just as she had stopped to put her shoes back on, she says in an extremely loud voice "Well I don't know why in the h*ll they would want my GUN anyways!" I thought DW was going to strangle her with a purse strap, and we were both ready to abandon her if necessary.

This is the same woman who called the well known elephant ride "Jumbo" the entire trip and wanted to know what kind of tree that was growing in Pooh's playground because she'd like to have one in her yard.

Seriously I think a lot of people that go for the first time have NO CLUE what they are getting into. They really honestly believe they're going to a large version of their local amusement park, and they don't even know they SHOULD do research. They think you just turn up and get to do everything that's there, or they flip through the Unofficial Guide and figure they're good to go. I know I didn't do nearly enough research before we went the first time, but enough that we did have a good time, and we got to fit in all the "biggies", but for the second trip I was much more prepared, and we got to see a lot more on that trip because we spent a lot less time in line. For the third one I was armed and dangerous!

After several trips, we've had our share of awkward moments in this family...

1. Having my DD throw the most enormous tempertantrum of her life while waiting for the Indiana Jones Stunt show...over one of those water bottle fans...kicking, screaming, hitting...it got ugly...very ugly...was sure the Disney Happiness police were going to kick us out of the part...turns out that she had an ear infection, poor thing, and didn't feel well! (even so, we left immediately!)

2. We were at DTD last year and I was not paying attention to where I was walking...I had a map of DTD out and was looking at it...and I walked into one of those pole things that they have to keep people from driving up on the sidewalks...it was very funny and my family hasn't let me live it down yet.

3. My SIL found an elderly lady in the bathroom near Morocco in EPCOT who had not only soiled herself, but had derobed from the waist down and was wandering the bathroom confused. She came out frantic, asking everyone around if they were waiting for someone in the bathroom and finally found her elderly husband, let him know what was up, and went back in to wait until a CM arrived. We still wonder what happened to that poor woman.
