Did you ever lose it at Disney

[KAG Mom]

I lost my temper on the bus as Disney. My children were 4,6, and 9 at the time and it seemed as if everywhere we went, we ran into a particularfamily that was foreign. They also pretended not to understand English. They continuously cut in front of us in line, and my husband is so easy going, it didn't bother him. I however, was steaming mad. After about the 100th time fo them pushing in front of us to get on the bus, (the bus was empty so there wasn't a question of them getting on) I lost it. I went crazy! They still pretended not to understand, but it made me feel better!

I lost it once many years ago with two CMs at the Magic Kingdom. I was 17 years old, first year of college, and we were riding Space Mountain. This was back when they had seat beats and not the lap bars that they have today. Anyway, half way through the ride, my seat belt came undone and I had to hold on so as not to get thrown around or out of the car! At the end of the ride, I told the CMs who help you get out of the cars, and yes, I was a bit frantic at the time, and they gave me a "who cares, you're a teenager" type attitude! Well I absolutely lost it! I ripped these guys, both of who were probably 10 years older than me, about the lack of consideration, their unprofessional attitude, and the fact that they need to check the belts of the car before another rider got in and that I wanted to see their supervisor. They immediately could not stop apologizing and in the end, I decided that it wasn't worth my time to wait, especially seeing they were indeed checking the car, and I moved on. Sometimes, even kids need to give "adults" a reality check!

Good for you! I totally agree with you! It was bad enough to have someone pick pocket . . . but to have a sibling condone that. YIKES! I bet you said enough to make the kid stop and think the next time he tries to steal. You probably saved many of us from falling prey to this little thief.

And hey, I never heard the words "parents" mentioned anywhere! Oh, silly me. Perhaps they were at the Emporium lifting other items! It is a "family" park, you know.

Thanks disneyaggie, and your right, their parents were no where, and the sister was probably not 18 yet. She too looked rather young. The CM's listened to us and after they found the stolen shirts in the sister's bag we were able to leave so we never did see their parents. Makes you wonder if they hoped off one of the rides to "swipe" a souvenir on the Haunted Mansion ride!

OMG I would have went off to! I am shocked that they gave you a who cares attitude! You could have been seriously injured or WORSE from a lack of restraints on a rollercoaster! Thank God you were alright! Your a lot nicer person than I am though, I probably would have reported that to their supervisor!

After refusing to help with the planning before the trip, my hubby suddenly wanted to direct the day's activities at MK. We call him 'Charlie Brown' sometimes, because he can be so wishy-washy.

Anyways, after 15 minutes of listening to him say 'why don't we... or we could... maybe...' as we wandered around the hub in front of the castle, I lost it. I told him off. I used bad words. I lost my Disney spirit big time. The kids got upset. It was not a good moment, that's for sure.

I calmed myself down. I explained to him how all of this input would have been nice last week, before the trip, when I was asking him for input, but he had turned down the opportunity then. So, no input was needed until later that evening, when we would make some new plans for the next day.

Did he help re-plan the next day's activities that evening at the hotel? He had no options there. I plunked the maps and guidebooks on his lap as he tried to watch tv, and said 'you're in charge of tomorrow!'

HI , I WORKED ON THE TRIP MYSELF, EVERYTIME I WANTED TO GO OVER IT HE SAID NOT NOW , ON THE TRIP HE WANTED TO BE THE TOP DOG , HE MADE THE TRIP A LITTLE UNHAPPY .SO THIS YEAR JUST MY DS AND I ARE GOING MAY NOT BE BACK FOR A LONG TIME , DH IS A GOOD MAN BUT THIS YEAR HE CAN STAY HOME , I DON'T WANT TO GET MAD THIS YEAR ,

O.K. this is not a real "loose your temper" story however if you can "picture" the scene you might just enjoy it!!

We just returned last week from WDW. Stayed in the FW cabins and rented a golf cart. Well, to make the story short(lol) dh and I were not getting along very well one night....got into quite an arguement in the cabin(no one heard us...thank goodness) Dh decided he was "going out" for a bit. So off he STORMS out and jumps in the golf cart (picture him trying to make a grand exit ) "clicks" the ignition on, backs out with that BEEPing noise they make and ZOOMS off going about 3 MILES AN HOUR!!! I was crying I was laughing so hard!! If I had tried to run after him I would have sped right past him!!

It was like, 90 something degrees outside and I had been walking all day. My parents started making fun of me cuz I was complaining about the heat and being tired. So I totally broke down and cried and had a total spaz attack. Then I went inside the Ice Station thingy in Epcot and I was happy.

 

[dreams4disney]

On Our last trip My then 9 year old was really being a handful. It was taking every thing we had to ignor the bad and try to make him happy. We have 4 children so it was not fair to the other three to always try to make him happy and do everything he wanted and when he wanted. We made it to the last day of our trip. After reading these boards and seeing all the posts about folks ruining magical trips after yelling at their kids DH and I tried very hard to not upset anyone by losing it with our oldest. So the last day of our trip we went to Epcot I took the younger two into the rest room and when we came out I see DH having a talk with DS. He was not yelling at him but you could tell both had been upset. I thought about acting as if I didn't know them. I notice a woman watching dh with a very stern look. She of course had no idea what are week was like with DS so I understand her being upset with DH. Any how I ended up getting really nasty with my husband and yelling at him in front of everyone for not taking the matter with DS to a less public area. To bad I couldn't use the same advice.

I have to say that even my in-laws that think our oldest DS can do no wrong even got upset with him at one point. He is not like that at home.

Only twice have I lost it at WDW and both times were at a resort.

Once at CBR and twice at POR (when it was DxL). When I went to check into CBR, it was complete chaos. There were 5 CM's checking people in and moving as slow as possible. After I finally got to the desk (45 minutes later), my reservations were all messed up. When we finally fixed it, I mentioned that I also had purchased the CP dinner package for that night and could I get my information from her. Nope. You need to go stand in that other long line for that information. Well, as I was waiting again, I found out that people were skipping the check-in line and going to the Holiday happenings line to get checked in, so they would not have to wait as long. 20 more minutes pass and I finally get my CP information. I went to the bell desk to see where I needed to go to get a ride to my building and was told to wait out front. I do, for another 15 minutes, and nothing. Went back in and was told whoops, we meant the other door. By the time I got to my room, I was so upset, I began to cry. When I pulled it together, I called the WL (was transferring over there after 2 nights @ CBR) to see if I could check in there any sooner (like that day), but it was sold out.

At DxL, it was waiting in line at guest services for 20 minutes, while the two employees chatted with each other, then suddenly have the CM's pack up and leave. Now they knew I was standing there waiting to be helped, and when I asked them for help, I got "sorry, we're closed". I asked the cm for his name, as I would be reporting his behavior to the GM and was told "so?" The other was on check-out day. I asked for a late check out, as my flight was not leaving until later in the day. Housekeeping knocked on the door at 9am asking if I was leaving soon, so she could clean. I explained that I had a late check out and would be leaving later. She came back 20 minutes later and asked again if I was leaving soon. She then came back another 20 minutes later and stood outside my window and watched me pack. I finally had to draw the curtains and call housekeeping to ask her to please leave until I have checked out. When I returned home, I wrote a letter to the GM detailing all of this. The GM changed twice and I was forced to resend the letter 3 more times, before I had any contact from the resort. When the GM finally called me back, he apologized and made up for it on a future visit to POFQ.

Yep I've lost it at Disney. At The "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" show. My dd then 9 is inching her way up the wall as we are waiting to get in. I tell her to get back by me. I get the stony look and she leans against the wall. Well, they pull the rope and off she goes!! As I'm trying to grab her through the crowd, I see that she grabs someones' hand that is not my dh or my ds. I finally reach her and apologize profusely to the man who's hand she's holding and that's when I lost it. All the way up the stairs and into our seats. My dh finally changes seats with me, while I cool off.

I was being a baby when this happened and felt really bad after...

I was 5 months pregnant when we went to Disney for my nephews birthday. It was me and my 2 kids, sister and her 2 kids, mom, little sister, grandma and aunt. By the time we got to the second day I had gotten REALLY tired of "the family" going on all the thrill rides that I couldn't go on because I was pregnant and leaving me with all 4 kids. So at this point we were in Animal Kingdom, I had just waited 45 minutes for them all to go through Dinosaur and the kids were driving me nuts (was first thing in the morning and they were raring to go, not be sitting around waiting for people)... so we get to Dinoland and they just HAVE to ride the rollar coaster. The wait was 60 minutes but they just HAD to ride it because besides my twin sister, they never go to Disney. I lost it! I was yelling and I heaved the stroller half way across Dinoland... I hate to admit I did yell a profanity. So I plopped myself down on a bench and even though they were in line, I was still complaining outloud to no one. I then notice a CM who I think witnessed the whole thing... I was so embarrassed!

 

[antkim]

Well...you asked for it!LOL

Our first night we decided to go out on an "adventure"...we had NO idea of how to get around the resort! We wanted to find the campfire program SOOO off we went in our golf cart!! Dh and ds(6) in the front and myself and ds(17 months) in the back. Well, of course we went in the wrong direction and ended up at the front of the resort where 1 of the main bus stations is located. We pulled up behind one of the Disney busses to ask people if they knew where we needed to go....as we were asking another Disney bus pulled up behind us (picture us in our golf cart sandwiched between 2 huge Disney busses ) ALL OF A SUDDEN all we heard was BEEPING. Of course, we thought it was one of the busses telling us to move!! So we tried to hurry out of that area and pulled over to ask a CM where the campfire was...as we were talking to her we realized it was OUR golfcart that was beeping! LOL The CM said "I didn't even know they had horns"!!!! Well, we got nervous and kept driving along. I came up with the "theory" that maybe we were in a "restricted" area and there was an alarm on the cart warning us!! Well, this horn kept on coming on/off. Figured I better call the Bike Barn in the morning and let them know.

Dh went out for coffee early the next morning and came in with his head hanging......"Honey, I know why the horn was BLARING last night.....my left foot was on the horn the whole time"!!! We had NO idea that the button for the horn was next to the brake pedal!!

Next story.....I drove off in the cart only to realize that it was still plugged into the cabin!! I was driving down the street with the plug dragging behind me!!

The morning of check out dh and ds went fishing to "get out of my way" while I packed up. I called dh to tell him I was ready for his help. He called me back 5 minutes later yelling "Someone just stole our golf cart"!!! What?????He went to get in the cart and couldn't find it.....happened to look out towards the street and there was cart #17 driving down the street with a family in orange t-shirts!! He was screaming "You have my cart"!!!! and they never even looked his way. Apparently, they rented #27 and got mixed up!! So....back to the bike barn he went to get another cart for our last hour!! Ds was balling because he had a picture under the seat of the cart that he had colored for us!! So dh (again...on a mission )went out and found our cart(at the main bus terminal) and got the picture from under the seat!! What a dad!

So, there are just a few stories!

My meltdown. In 2000 in went in the Presidential tent where Mickey was. I wanted a family picture. The sign said 10 minutes. After 1 hour we finally got let into a room with 3 other families. The CM said hurry-up. I gave her my camera and said, "I just waited over 1 hour to see Mickey and the sign said 10 minutes. Please use my camera, I have it all set and adjusted, you just need to snap the picture." She looked at me and said she wasn't suppose to, but she would." The picture turned out beautiful. After all day in the MK and waiting to see Mickey, I literally was done. We walked thru tomorrowland and came out by the castle. I sat down on the sidewalk and couldn't move I literally melted down on the sidewalk. My family didn't care, we had a nice spot for spectro parade, Tink and the Fireworks. I think we waited 1 hour, but we had a great time with people around us and watching the CM's tell people they could not stand in the walkway to Walt & Mickey's statue. We camped out in that corner till everything was done.

We just got back from a trip in Jan and we did it with a DS who was on the verge of being 9 and DD 13 on the verge of being 14.....and I will say she was lucky enough to get there.lol I have been warning friends to never take a teen on vacation. She was embarrased by everything I did. I clapped too loud at the shows, I was too vocal about enjoying things, we didn't ride what she wanted when she wanted since I refuse to race back and forth across the park, I insisted I get to go on some things I wanted to go despite her not wanting to. The list goes on. I did jump her case though when she almost walked out in front of somene. I put my hand out to block her from stepping out and touched her stomach. She starts freaking out and telling me not to touch her. I got back in her face on that one. There were several times she refused to speak to DH and I because we weren't doing exactly what she wanted.
We have bravely decided to go back in 2 years and she will be ready to turn 16 this time. Wish us all luck....
DH lost it once. We were walking along past Aladdin's carpet ride where it curves to the right. There was plenty of room to the left of us. I didn't see it happen, but he veered over to the left a little we think. I did see him almost fall flat on his face. He turned to look to see what happened and this woman, on our left, in an ECV buzzes past us and nastily said it was his fault. I will say I didn't see who got in whose way, but there was lots of room to the left of us and DH didn't turn in front of her, at best he stepped a little in her direction, but she had to be too close to begin with. We were going to go get in line on our right and were in no way turning left. There was no one else on the other side of her. DH is easy going and was only looking to see what hit him he wasn't going to say a word(he is nicer than me). DH asks what she said so I told him and he had to mouth back she needed to watch where she was going. She smarts back nastily to him, who knows what, we couldn't make it out. I had to get in the act and holler at her and told her to have a wonderfully magical day. It didn't work though. We saw her later sitting in her ECV with a young child(grandkid maybe?) and she had a permanent sour look on her face.
I did try to stop this woman from tromping my DS in Universal. She didn't care and just shoved him right out of the way and refused to even look or slow down. I kept asking her to stop mashing my DS and other people heard me and were looking. I hope it was worth it to her to almost hurt a child to be further up in line than us.

I have actually been faithfully reading the Most Shocking thread since my return this weekend to see if someone reported my "losing it" episode! Just me and DS3 had a "special day" as a day trip to MK. We were in an incredibly long line at Pecos Bill's for a late lunch (stupidly thinking if we went late there would be less of a crowd) around 2:00. DS is used to eating lunch around 11:30 am, and was very hungry, despite the bucket of popcorn he had inhaled several hours earlier. He started getting very frustrated with the long line, and started yelling loudly "Get me my hot dog RIGHT NOW!" I calmly tried to calm him down, but nothing work, and besides yelling at me he started kicking the people around us (he was sitting in his stroller) and hitting me. Finally, I very loudly yelled "SHUT UP AND SIT STILL NOW, or you will get nothing to eat for the rest of the day!" At least 20 people started glaring at me like I was the worst parent they ever saw, and my son started to cry. However, it all turned out well, as about 3 minutes later he told me he was sorry for being "mean" and asked nicely if he could still please get a hot dog, and after eating was his sweet little self for the rest of the day. And it really doesn't bother me all that much what other people think of my child's tantrums anyway as I feel pretty assured that everyone's child has acted like that at sometime, and if they don't have children, they themselves have had tantrums at some time in their lives!

I lost it with my 3 1/2 yr old son at Universal because it was time to go see the "Barney" show and he wanted to stay and play on this little playground they had next to the Barney theatre. I was yelling and then I tried pulling him and finally he was crying and I was looking around to see who was witnessing me turning into a witch! Don't judge the man with the stroller too harshly, kids can be really frustrating when they insist on having their way. Hopefully, I will be more flexible this trip! LOL

 

[always quiet]

The only time I remember ever really "losing it" was at MK back in 1997. The kids at the time were 6, 5 and 2. We brought our stroller from home for our youngest. The kids wanted to go on Dumbo so I told DH to go park the stroller and I would grab a place in line with the older 2 kids. Jessie was still in the stroller. A few minutes later, I see DH walking up towards the line........ALONE! I ask him, in a very loud, paniced voice "Where's Jessica?!?" He replied, "She's with you". I scream back "No! She was in the stroller, remember?!" (picture my voice getting louder as this conversation continues ) Having a VERY male, non-thinking moment, he tells me that he "let her out and told her to go follow Mommy". Obviously, she did NOT follow me! I about totally lost it and started screaming franticly for my daughter. CMs started to approach quickly when I noticed my 2 yr old............waiting patiently at the exit for her ride on Dumbo! Guess she figured this line was lots shorter than the one at the entrance. I won't repeat here some of the things I said to DH..........and to this day, not only do I not let him forget, Jessie now tells him "Remember when you lost me at Disney?"
