Crazy stories at disney world

[purplepixiedust]

We were in WDW January last year and in line for Fantasmic some very large teens were yelling at security to let them in so they could sit. They were yelling out obscenities and after everyone was seated and the show started they sat right up front. During the segment when the princesses come out on the floats with Ariel, Belle, and Snow White, they start yelling out "Ariel your so F***ing hot, show us some t**s" They yelled these kinds of things throughout the entire show. The parents said nothing to them, they just laughed along. That is probably the worst behavior I've seen out a human being in WDW. I was embarassed for them.

Oh gee, I never figured at Disney I might be explaining what any of that means to my 8 & 6 year old sons, how awful! So many people have no class anymore, rediculous.

So there we were, drinking from our resort refillable mugs, soaking in the fountain behind the castle to cool off, throwing pennies at Brazilian tour groups, when this lady comes up to us and starts yelling at us,
I just took a swig from my beer helmet, blew smoke in her face and told her to get lost.
I mean, really, we had our bathing suits on, and towels draped over the edge to dry off, so it's not like any rides were going to get wet!

Resort mugs AND beer helmets? How goshe!

In regards to the original story that started this debate. OH MY GOSH!!! I am only halfway through reading this thread and cannot believe how many people are arguing about this. From reading the original post, it angered me because it is a LIE!!! SHE MADE IT UP!!! How can anyone seriously believe this occurred? If it were true, BUT IT ISN't, of course the CM is at fault. FIRST, No CM rude or not, would be that blatant about it. I was a CM for 6 years and interacted with thousands of them, NEVER encountered one like that. Next, ABSOLUTELY NO FREAKING WAY, is a manager going to tell you he has had previous issues with an employee OR that they will be disciplined, let alone terminated!

Again...THIS STORY IS MADE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, My son is autistic and we use a GAP. I am not questioning the persons need for assitance, I agree with that. I am unhappy with the poster making up a story and using a person with disabilities as the subject!!

See post #319

My crazy story is about someones wardrobe. Last April while at MK I was walking behind a rather "Pooh sized" young girl. Not sure of her age, but she was a teenager. She was wearing a very midriff black tankop with a VERY thin, and VERY short white cotton miniskirt that you could see right through to her "crevasse". This is not the worst of it. She was wearing a hot pink thong that was purposely hiked up out of the top of her skirt. The reason I know it was on purpose was because she had her room key and a small wallet clipped to it. This was by far the most disgusting thing I have ever seen at Disney!!!!!!

This isn't really strange, but funny. Last year, when exiting POTC, we came upon two cast members posing as statues of a male and female pirate. They were sitting just inside the door that exits from the attraction into the gift shop. Our son, who was three at the time, kept staring at them. I asked him why he was staring. He said "Those statues must have the Disney magic because they are breathing."

And this is one that just made me feel good...during that same trip, we were getting on Toy Story Mania. As the cast member reached in to make sure I was securely in my seat, he said to me "Have a good ride, princess." I can't tell you how good that made me feel. Thinking about it still makes me smile. When in your adult life does anyone call you "Princess?" Oh boy...I can't wait to get back there this year. Hurry up and get here, September.

This was a bit crazy. It happened on Disney Cruise Line. I still when I think about it.

It was nighttime and we were sleeping. A knock on our stateroom door woke us up. We had no idea who it could be. As my DH went to open the door, I glanced at the clock. It said 2am.

As my DH opened the door, I heard him say our son's name in disbelief. Our DS (9 at the time) was sleepwalking out in the hallway. DH pulled him in as DS mumbled something about "going up to see the sunrise".

Thereafter we blocked the door with luggage and slept a little less soundly. We still tease him about it, saying it's a good thing he didn't do a Peter Pan off the side of the ship.

OMG, this is getting pretty funny!!!

Resort mugs AND beer helmets? How goshe!

The kids had the mugs, the adults had the beer helmets. We tried to get the beer helmets in for the kids last year but security had a caniption.
Did I forget to mention the towels were from Typhoon Lagoon? We DID rent them for the whole day!

The POTC "statue" story reminded me of a funny thing that happened to my nieces about six years ago on their first trip. Well, two things, actually. No, make that three! We had a great time that trip. My nieces were about 11 and 13 and my nephew was about 9. (These are different kids and different trip from the post 343 story.)

1) At Universal, we were in the queu for the Mummy ride and were winding through the dark tunnels. We were just about the only ones in there at the time ... lucky us. Well, we wound around one corner and we saw a CM (I don't know what they are called at Universal) standing at the end of the lane. He was standing very, very still and the girls asked if he was real or a statue. I told them, "I don't know. Why don't you go poke him in the belly and see." He must have heard us. Well, they gingerly snuck up to him and just as they got the courage to raise their fingers and were about two inches from his belly, he jumpes and yelled, "Yes! Poke me in the belly!" Well, they nearly died right there. I never saw them move so fast in my life. We laughed so hard we were crying.
2) Also at Universal, we were walking across the bridge headed toward MIB. Most of us were walking up ahead of the two nieces. Suddenly we heard this very loud metalic bang! Looking back, we saw Ashley, the 11-year-old, had been looking into the water at the ducks and ran right smack into one of the light posts. It was still swaying! She was alright, just very, very embarrassed. Of course, our lunatic laughter wasn't helping.
3) We were going into the Haunted Mansion for our very last ride of our trip and it was just before closing so there were very few people there. My 11-year-old niece jumped in the Doombuggy with me. As we passed one of the CMs, him and my niece had a mini stare down. Just as we got past him and were headed into the ride, he popped his head around the corner of the buggy and yelled, "Enjoy the ride!" in a very spooky tone. My niece nearly jumped out of the other side of the buggy. She was literally laying across my lap screaming ... a fun scream, not a seriously scared scream. My sister-in-law and other niece were in the buggy behind us and saw what had happened and we were all laughing hystrically. My brother and nephew were in the buggy ahead of us and didn't know what the heck was going on.

It was a fun trip!

I blame this on the child rearing(pun intended) practices of today.. You can't tell Brittany, Caitlyn etc that she is too big to wear a certain outfit because you may crush her self esteem. Yes, confidence is a lovely thing but so are mirrors and a sense of your own limitations.

And what's with the "pooh sized" stuff..I just lost some weight but I'm the first one to tell you I was fat. Just plain silly.

I had something similar happen to me! I was in line for the bathroom in the Nine Dragons and I felt something slap me on the bottom! HARD! And then I turned around to see a little girl slap me again. She must have been about three. Her Mother who was with her actually laughed and said "Oh she likes to do that!" Then turned to the girl and said in a really annoying sing - song voice "Happy hands!!". I didn't know what to say.....

Happy hands?!! I am genuinely afraid for the generation that will be running our country in 20 years or so!

my crazy story is a cast member story (so my apologies to all the kind and wonderful cast members here)

My aunt is blind and we have taken her to Disney several times over the years. She loves it and travels well along with her various guide dogs/seeing eye dogs. One fall we were there during a pretty bad heat wave in October. The pavement is TORTURE on the dogs feet and we did everything we could to keep her in the shade.

(I should mention this is right around the time they invented fastpass and stopped allowing people to go directly to the exit to load those guests with handicaps.) We were not aware of this and to be honest I think that guests with handicaps should not have to wait in the regular line if they have letters from doctors, etc.

Well we go to the park and off we went on Jungle Cruise, Pirates and Tiki Room with no issues and no waits. We didn't have to go thru the exits because we were either ushered on immediately or brought directly to the handicap entrance due to the dog.

We walked off to Splash Mountain and went to the exit so we could "dog swap" and go on the ride. Obviously her dog could not go on this particular ride, although he could on many of them. The young lady at the exit said "oh you will have to get a fastpass and go through the regular line." I explained to her that due to the heat it was virtually animal abuse to stand in the sun (it was a very busy weekend day and the line was out of the building) and that we always went to the exit in the past. She said "too bad ma'am, those are the rules." I told her again politely (I was in shock at her rudeness) that some "rules" are made to bend a little especially when the health of a guide animal is at risk. She said "How do I even know she is REALLY blind? Can she prove it?"

At this point she opened the gate for a woman in a wheelchair....so obviously she WAS allowing people to bypass the regular or fastpass line. I asked her "why did you allow her in but not us?" She said "She is in a WHEELCHAIR" and rolled her eyes at me. I said "Wait a second, you want my Aunt to PROVE she is blind...well march yourself over there and tell that woman to get up and WALK!" I then asked for a ride manager IMMEDIATELY. Meanwhile the girl/castmember went on and on about how we could have just decided to put a harness on our "pet" and bring him to Disney. I have NEVER seen someone so uneducated, rude, petty or nasty and ESPECIALLY in Disney!

When the ride manager came she was very apologetic and said "We have had some issues with this castmember recently." I told the ride manager that I wanted an apology AND I wanted her to be removed from working directly with the public. The ride manager point blank said "This young lady will no longer be working with Disney, we will not accept this kind of behavior from our castmembers."

We didn't let it ruin our trip but it was very disheartening. We have never run into that issue since. We use fast passes or regular entrance on all rides that require them expect in the rare instances where the pavement is too hot for the dog. We have been graciously welcomed onto rides or "dog swap" and in several instances they have actually had a ride manager come and wait with her guide dog so we could all go on together! NOW that is Magic!!

Almost in tears here! So sorry that happened to you and your dear Aunt.

I was stuck on ToT in the dark right before you go into the drop tower where the room is and the doors open me and my uncle are sitting there and we look at each other and ask "are we moving?" after 30min or so the lights go on and we see its a white room with glass and projectors it was really cool but it made me kinda nervous. Afterwards they ask us if we want to ride again and we said "ummmmmm no."

Same thing happened to us a few years ago!

 

[jusero]

Well , I don't think this is as crazy as it was jaw dropping shock... My wife, two daughters and I were at Casey's getting hot dogs. My wife and daughters 4 and 1 sit down next to a couple from Oklahoma and their two girls about 6 and 2. When I arrive with the food, I see that the girls are playing from their chairs and my wife is talking to the couple. She shoots me an odd glance as I sit down. I did not catch the conversation up to that point, but the gentleman turns to his older daughter and says " See honey, see how perfect those girls are. Thats why its so important for us white people to keep having blonde kids. There aren't that many left. "
And with that my wife stood, took my daughters and said to me " Thanks honey, let's go sit on the wall by crystal palace so the girls can see the castle. Nice to meet you folks. " and she escorted us all out.

I could not believe what had just been said, but my wife must have been getting a good lead in, because she was ready to bolt as soon as I showed up. She said they were nice at first, but then the converstaion was getting odd.

It was the only time in my life I have heard something like that so publicly and open, let alone at Disney.

OMG! It's hard to believe these people are still out there. I would love to have been in your shoes, though. My grandson and I are both blonde and blue/green eyed. We could have sat down and listened intently ... and maybe even start to agree with them to get them really going. Then it would be priceless to see how fast THEY moved when my Philippino hubby, half Philippina daughter and very brown-haired, big brown-eyed grand daughter came to join us.

Off topic, but the reminds me of a comment once made about my children: I don't remember where we were, but this couple asked us if our middle daughter was adopted! My oldest is very blonde, a towhead, and so is my youngest. They could be twins, with big clue eyes and almost white hair that's wavy and long. My middle has straight brown hair and dark brown eyes, and doesn't have the same features as the other two, but you can tell that they are all siblings. Just because she looks different doesn't mean she's adopted!! Geesh!

And these weren't older people either. It was strange!

yep - we have been asked a few times where we got our 2 Chinese kids...

I typically say we got them at Walmart...

It's amazing what people will say - I've always found that humor is the best way to expose their ignorance.

We just laughed and said our usual reply - "she's the milk man's baby!" which is an inside joke, because my husband used to work as a driver for a large milk company when we had her.

They just looked as us even weirder when we laughed.

funny - my wife actually told a lady at the grocery store that we had a Chinese milkman.

That is so funny, my DILs always say that about my DH (he's the jokester of the family) because my DFIL used to deliver milk man when DH was little

I used to work at Bath and Body Works and we had a mom and her young, Chinese son come in shopping. He was adopted, absolutely adorable, and we got to know each other real well in their 30 minutes in the store. His name was Sam and he told me he was 5.

So Mom is paying for her purchases and spends quite a chunk of $$, about $100, I think. To which Sam replied "Mom! Dont' spend all that money! You won't have enough to go back to China to get me a baby sister!"

Kids are so cute!
