Everything Old Is New Again! - A Dec 2010 Trip Report : THE FINAL ENTRY page 45

[dvc4life]

Wow Kaylene, what an experience in the park. But, believe me I know how you feel because I had the same thing happen only it was on a bus. It was a challenged teenager and the mother was trying to fit it into a bottle and ended up spraying lots of us on the bus. I was lucky that I moved just in time to keep it from getting my girls and got my backside, as I was standing, but the poor lady sitting beside me got it straight in the face! I was never more disgusted in my life.

When we got back to Shades of Green, where we were staying on that trip, I literally ran down the halls leaving my DH and girls behind so I could get out of those clothes and into the shower. Ewwwww, yuck!

I am so glad for you though that Disney tried to make up for that awful experience. And they escorted the woman out. Yay Disney!

 

[dvczerfs]

wow. not much more you can say.

[FreezinRafiki]

Barry, I do LOVE your wife. Bambi...you rule!

Hey, I married her. I must get some credit for spotting that talent and locking it up in a long term (lifetime!) contract.

Oh my God. I don't even know what to say.

I have seen a lot of strange things in my lifetime, but this takes the cake.

To Kaylene and Kayden, I am so sorry this happened to you, but am glad that you were taken very good care of by the CM's at Disney and that you didn't let it mar your trip.

Kaylene sent me a text message after it happned. "I just got peed on." I believe I put the phone back in my pocket and tried to make sense of the world. I couldn't come up with anything.

Urine luck!

Seriously though, what an awful thing to have happen to you. I'm glad that Kayden piped-up with some ideas about how they could make it up to you.

Kayden's a pretty sharp kid. Except for the peeing on his hair thing from a earlier in the trip...

Dorma Nesmond?

The one and only....

 

[FreezinRafiki]

OMG! I'm shocked. I can't even imagine. Kaylene- I'm impressed with your handling of the situation Not sure I would have been as nice after the first shall we say shower.

I know I would have flown off the handle.

I am so sorry Ween but I am still laughing over this.

I'll attest to this. She was reading your write up last night and had to stop a few times to catch her breath.

 

[FreezinRafiki]

By the way Barry, you might want to go with less puns in the next TR and more one liners from Bambi!

Great. I'm now second fiddle in my own trip reports.

In regards to the last update:

WOW
I don't know what is worse, the fact that she feels the need to have him pee in a cup in the middle of a crowd, or the fact that he's 4 or 5 years old and she has to hold it for him. I'm sorry about your experience, there's a good chance if that had happened to me, I might have been the one escorted out by security.

Even though it really can't make up for being peed on, I'm glad the CM's were there to at least get you some dry clothes and take care of you. I liked Kayden's move to get some water and popcorn though!

Its one of those situations that I'm sure even when you're right in the middle of it - you can't believe its happening.

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Wow Kaylene, what an experience in the park. But, believe me I know how you feel because I had the same thing happen only it was on a bus.

Yikes! On a bus?!?! At least you were heading toward the resort and a shower rather than to the park, but still - ick.

wow. not much more you can say.

I think Mark said it best below...

Yup. That about says it all.

 

[IamTrike]

Wow...Way to keep your composure in a very bad situation Kaylene. I can't believe she tried it a second time. Part of me wonders if she had such a jaded view of humanity that she thought she'd loose her ability to see the show if she took her son to the bathroom. It's great that there was a CM nearby to take care of stuff for you. Crammed up against someone else, and covered in pee is no way to go through Fantasmic.

 

[prattpak]

Good Evening Folks! We have a guest writer for this update. I asked Kaylene to narrate her story for us and she was able dig up the repressed memories and share them here for our enjoyment!

So, to catch everyone up, Kaylene and Kayden were leaving Magic Kingdom on their way to catch up on some things at Hollywood Studios. On the way out, something landed in Kayden's hand. Luckily a Photopass photographer was there to take a picture, then smack it with his shoe.

Kaylene, you can take it from here...

We headed to Hollywood studios to catch some things we missed including the Beauty and Beast Show, the Indian Jones Show, meeting Sully and Mike

and another go at tower of terror... Then we got in line for Fantasmic with about 100 other people... That is when she joined us. A large African American woman wearing a bright hot pink sweatshirt snuggled up behind us with her significant other and her 4 or 5 year old son. We were approximately 100 feet from the bathrooms at this time- I take note as because Barry can attest, my son goes to the bathroom ever 10 minutes it seems...
As we are standing there in this crowd of people, the woman's son behind me announces that he has to go to the bathroom. She proudly proclaims, "Oh thank God I have a boy" and promptly produced a cup that she was drinking from and hands it to him and says pee in this. The kid takes the cup and tries to drink from it- at which point she grabs it from his hand and says, "Here I will do it" She kneels down and begins trying to direct him into the cup and tells him to start peeing. I turn away as I really don't need to see that, and frankly I am shocked that this is happening. As I am sitting there on the ledge that we were lucky enough to score while waiting, I all of a sudden feel warmth on my leg. I jump up and begin screaming... yes you guessed it. Apparently she sucks at aiming, because she directed her child's little aiming device to pee all over my leg. So there I am with a pants leg and sweatshirt soaked in some strange child's urine standing from where I can literally see the bathroom sign hanging.
Thankfully a helpful citizen heard what happened and passed over some of her baby wipes so I could clean up a bit. Meanwhile as I am wiping urine away the crowd around is starting to murmur and wanting to find out exactly what happened. I calmly explained that the woman felt it necessary to instead of asking her significant other or even one of the 100's of strangers surrounding her to hold her spot so she could take her child to the bathroom, she felt it would be a better option to have her child pee in a cup.
It was about to this point in the story when I felt wetness again on my leg. You guessed it, she was at it again. Apparently the child still needed to pee and she was trying to help him finish the job. At this point I proclaimed, "Oh my God, I consider myself a calm person, but this is ridiculous! He just peed on me again!" I turn to the woman and say "Do you have a mental deficiency? I can see the bathroom from where I am standing! What is wrong with you?!?!"
She finally speaks up and says, "I'm sorry ma'm..."
I yelled back at her, "I'm sorry isn't good enough!" At this point the crowd that is around us is pissed and they all start yelling at her also. She just turned around and ignored everyone. At this moment the line begins to move and she shoves past everyone dragging her child with. I thought well, "at least I won't have to be peed on again" and went to find a seat. Then a lady - I think the one who gave me the wipes - came up beside us and asked if we were okay and if there was anything she could help with. She felt so bad. She told me that I need to talk to a Disney person about this - she of course said this as we were passing one.
They stopped me and asked if everything was okay. I explained everything that had happened, and the poor kid had a paniced look on his face and said, "you need to speak with my boss!"
He had us wait off to the side for his boss. He came over and I explained the whole situation to him... that this was our first ever trip to Disney... our last day of our trip etc... He asked if I was okay, and at this point Kayden piped up and said, "No she is not - she's covered in pee!" The guy asked us to sit over in a roped off section and wait there... we waited there for about 10 minutes and he returned with a new sweatshirt for me so I could take the pee one off. He told us we could sit where we were in the VIP section - which happened to be right in the dead center middle with no one around us in a roped off box. Awesome seats!
Meanwhile everyone else is so close to each other I swear you couldn't fit a piece of paper between them. The guy asked if I thought I could pick her out. I stood up and what did I see? A hot pink sweatshirt about 50 rows down right in front of me. He walkied to another person who he no doubtibly filled in on the situation. Soon there were 2 Disney Cast Members talking with her and escorting her out while the son stayed with the significant other (which I was really happy about - it wasn't fair for the child to have to missed out just because his mother had a mental deficiency)
At this point the guy asked if he could get us anything and I said no, and again Kayden piped up and said, "I would like some popcorn and a water please." The guy left and soon returned with both for each of us and apologized again. The show was starting so I thanked him for his services and he left. We watched the show, and as we were collecting our things to leave, this man appeared again with fast passes for Toy Story and Tower of Terror for the 2 of us. He said he knew that it didn't make up for it, but he hoped the rest of the trip was good. Since it was so late, we ended up not using the Fast Passes, but none the less it was a nice offer. All in all it was a fantastic trip, but it sure did end on a pisser! ;-) It sure has been a great story to tell though! LOL​

Thanks Kaylene!

And don't worry folks, Kaylene and Kayden have express a lot of interest in going back to Disney World. But they did mention something about wearing ponchos the entire time...

Coming Up Next: The rest of us stay dry and head to park #3

Ummm....I.......will you got........umm... WHAT THE FRAK!?!?!?! Im honestly besides myself. I would of been the one escorted from the parks if that was me.

 

[that's nice]

So I read the update while I was waiting for Juliana to finish swimming lessons (they put the parents in another room and it is very boring!)

I really don't know what to say... Not once but twice???????


Kaylene- I think you held it together pretty well, I think I would of lost it!

 

[kaileighbug]

Wow Kaylene I don't know what to say.... To me if DD has to go she has to go. (We will be going to bathroom) If we miss something we miss it. Oh well. Way to handle the situtation and set a good example for your child by not losing your cool.

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Ummm....I.......will you got........umm... WHAT THE FRAK!?!?!?! Im honestly besides myself. I would of been the one escorted from the parks if that was me.

But look on the bright side - you'd get a nice shiny set of silver bracelets. They would go so well with the tooth fragments stuck in your knuckles.

Let's look at is from the other lady's point of view. She's just trying to help her son get some relief, when all of a sudden some strange lady starts complaining that she had pee on her. Like any deranged lunatic, you'd just go back to helping out your son, right?

Wow Kaylene I don't know what to say.... To me if DD has to go she has to go. (We will be going to bathroom) If we miss something we miss it. Oh well. Way to handle the situtation and set a good example for your child by not losing your cool.

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Well, on to much less exciting things. As Bambi pointed out last night, I really shouldn't have posted Kaylene's story yet, because now I have to try and follow that act....

But, I'll do my best, because I'm already almost a week late in starting my next TR.


When we last left the urine-free team, we had taken a Photopass picture in front of Cindy's place and were heading to the monorail. We got to the TTC, crossed over to the Epcot platform and boarded the not-a-Tronorail. Because as we've learned - the Tronorail is a figment of your imagination. It does not exist and you can never ride it.

We had an early dinner ADR at La Hacienda de San Angel. Bambi's brother had just gotten back into town and we were going to meet him and his friend for dinner.

As we walked back toward the Mexico pavilion, we noticed the Disney landscaping crew was having problems getting the Christmas lights up. Maybe they shouldn't have hired a shrub to do it?

We also learned a valuable money saving tip. Evan was starting to get a bit of a fever, so we stopped in the gift shop to see if they had any Children's Tylenol. They didn't but suggested we try the first aid station over near Mexico. We went over, and I walked in. There was a simple room with two ladies behind a counter. I asked if I could buy some Children's Tylenol. They asked for the age and weight of the child, poured me the correct dosage into a small plastic cup and told me they hope he feels better. FREE DRUGS AT WALT DISNEY WORLD!!

Evan did take the medicine and was feeling much better as soon as it started working. In the meantime, we completed our walk to the Mexican Pavilion.

A quick aside here - I really like what the imagineers did with the restaurant in Mexico. The quick service place was taking up valuable lake shore real estate so it made perfect sense to remodel it into a table service. However, when the restaurant you have inside the temple is called San Angel Inn, do you really think it's a good idea to name the new place La Hacienda de San Angel? I'm sure to any native Spanish speakers it's not a big deal - but to the rest of us, San Angel is the part of the name that your ear is going to pick up the clearest and your mind is going to remember. Of the 8 of dining that night, 7 of us though we were at San Angel Inn.


Anyway, we arrived a bit early, so we took a nice leisurely ride on It's a Small World Lite. (Much shorter than the original and without the soundtrack. For the full experience, you must upgrade to the full version.)

We met up with Uncle Bill and I checked in our party of 8. Within a few minutes, we were lead to...two tables. That were back to back. Ummm...no. I understand if you don't have a table of 8 available, but you can slide two tables of 4 side to side so we can at least pretend to be at the same table. I told the host that this was unacceptable. We had to wait another 15 or so minutes, but they then gave us a nice long table, right up by the window where we could watch the sun set over World Showcase Lagoon. Ahhh...much better.

We were to busy getting caught up that I forgot to take many pictures of the restaurant, but here is one of the funky lights.

Dinner was pretty good. I don't really recall what I had, but I'm sure it came with a side of beans and rice.

After dinner we realized that the credit card had not burst into flames yet, so we hit MouseGear for a little end of vacation shopping. Included in the haul:
Lotso Huggin Bear.

We decided to try and get over to Hollywood Studios and see if we could catch Fantasmic, so we made our way out through the International Gateway and over to the boat launch. We seemed to wait quite a while, but eventually the captain brought the boat roaring up the channel and did a Crazy Ivan to get it spun around.

We were keeping a close eye on the time, thinking we just might get lucky enough to make it in time. As soon as we realized we were stopping at the Beach Club, Boardwalk, and Swan & Carp hotels (take a look at that statue and tell me with a straight face it looks like a Dolphin. No, it's a carp. Plain and simple) we knew we wouldn't make it. That's OK, though, we'd seen it before and we'll see it again.

We did make it in time to get through the gates and spend a bit more money in the gift shops. While Bambi shopped, Evan found a nice back light to use to study his map.

It wasn't too long before the sea of humanity that was the Fantasmic audience came streaming out of the park and we found Kaylene and Kayden. (Streaming. ) Kaylene retold her story (with just a touch more profanity that the version you got to read) and we headed to the cars for the ride back to Lakeland.

And that, in a nutshell, was our trip. I wish I had more for you, but that picture of Evan reading his map was the last one I had on the camera for our vacation. I know Bambi's parents gave us a ride to the airport and that we few home on Frontier (our northbound plane had Foxy the Fox on the tail). But really, the awesomeness of the vacation vastly outshines the depression of the going home day. And that's never a bad thing.

I'll be back with a final wrap up post in a day or so. (That will give me a chance to create my April Trip Report and insert many, many shameless plugs for it.)

 

[KatMark]

I thought I'd check in to see if an update since I probably won't be on much this weekend (we have a decision to make about our dog who we found out yesterday has cancer). And lo and behold, a new Barry update and a great one as always. I'm not a fan of Stitch...but that is a cute picture. And the one of the kids with Lotso is adorable.

You don't need a plug in for your TR. With your wonderful writing style and Bambi's wonderful one-liners, everyone wants to follow. And I can't wait until the start of the new one.

 

[afwdwfan]

Well, on to much less exciting things. As Bambi pointed out last night, I really shouldn't have posted Kaylene's story yet, because now I have to try and follow that act....

She makes a very good point.

FREE DRUGS AT WALT DISNEY WORLD!!

Yeah, just read this sentence out of context.

A quick aside here - I really like what the imagineers did with the restaurant in Mexico. The quick service place was taking up valuable lake shore real estate so it made perfect sense to remodel it into a table service.

Hmmm... so where is the quick service place now?

However, when the restaurant you have inside the temple is called San Angel Inn, do you really think it's a good idea to name the new place La Hacienda de San Angel? I'm sure to any native Spanish speakers it's not a big deal - but to the rest of us, San Angel is the part of the name that your ear is going to pick up the clearest and your mind is going to remember.

Good point. When I first heard of La Hacienda de San Angel, I thought it was replacing San Angel Inn. It really is kind of confusing.

While Bambi shopped, Evan found a nice back light to use to study his map.

Studying the map up to the very point that it is time to leave... he really must not trust your navigation skills. Either that or he was looking for the nearest bathroom thinking it would be the fastest way to find Kayden.

(Streaming. )

I'll be back with a final wrap up post in a day or so. (That will give me a chance to create my April Trip Report and insert many, many shameless plugs for it.)

Looking forward to both the wrap up and the new TR. I really enjoyed the TR despite the puns and the missing bits of information. Speaking of which, what was Kayden's final princess kiss count?

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Well, on to much less exciting things. As Bambi pointed out last night, I really shouldn't have posted Kaylene's story yet, because now I have to try and follow that act....

Bambi is wise in the ways of the Force.

We got to the TTC, crossed over to the Epcot platform and boarded the not-a-Tronorail. Because as we've learned - the Tronorail is a figment of your imagination. It does not exist and you can never ride it.

Maybe they shouldn't have hired a shrub to do it?

I guess even Disney's budget cuts are starting to show.

I asked if I could buy some Children's Tylenol. They asked for the age and weight of the child, poured me the correct dosage into a small plastic cup and told me they hope he feels better. FREE DRUGS AT WALT DISNEY WORLD!!

Wow! If the kids are acting up, can I go in and get them some Benadryl?

However, when the restaurant you have inside the temple is called San Angel Inn, do you really think it's a good idea to name the new place La Hacienda de San Angel? I'm sure to any native Spanish speakers it's not a big deal - but to the rest of us, San Angel is the part of the name that your ear is going to pick up the clearest and your mind is going to remember. Of the 8 of dining that night, 7 of us though we were at San Angel Inn.

I'm still confused, actually. Who's on first?

After dinner we realized that the credit card had not burst into flames yet, so we hit MouseGear for a little end of vacation shopping.

I know that feeling well.

We seemed to wait quite a while, but eventually the captain brought the boat roaring up the channel and did a Crazy Ivan to get it spun around.

This sentence makes me feel very proud for some odd reason.

As soon as we realized we were stopping at the Beach Club, Boardwalk, and Swan & Carp hotels (take a look at that statue and tell me with a straight face it looks like a Dolphin. No, it's a carp. Plain and simple)

It's a crap hotel? Oh...right.

Absolutely right on the statue.

It wasn't too long before the sea of humanity that was the Fantasmic audience came streaming out of the park and we found Kaylene and Kayden. (Streaming. ) Kaylene retold her story (with just a touch more profanity that the version you got to read) and we headed to the cars for the ride back to Lakeland.

Is the profane version going to be in the director's cut of this TR?

But really, the awesomeness of the vacation vastly outshines the depression of the going home day. And that's never a bad thing.

Very well said.

Yeah, just read this sentence out of context.

Maybe just your imagination I have seen another trip report where someone got to ride the Tronorail!

As we walked back toward the Mexico pavilion, we noticed the Disney landscaping crew was having problems getting the Christmas lights up. Maybe they shouldn't have hired a shrub to do it?

It took me a few minutes to figure out what you were talking about (I didn't see the lights in stitches hand) but then I lol'd


Question you mentioned on your Animal Kingdom day you got Zebra domes... Can you get those in Animal Kingdom and where if you can?
Luved your trip report and can't wait for the next one

 

[Poolrat]

As we are standing there in this crowd of people, the woman's son behind me announces that he has to go to the bathroom. She proudly proclaims, "Oh thank God I have a boy" and promptly produced a cup that she was drinking from and hands it to him and says pee in this.

I am so sorry Ween but I am still laughing over this.

I am sorry too but I started laughing at the above part, but figured he was first just going to pee in some bushes. Not like I haven't see that before

Then you continue and I know you were shocked and furious at the time but the way you re-told it is priceless.


The babywipe woman was your angel. She was able to get you out of rage and shock and point you towards the CM to help make it right.
Way to go Kayden for piping up and asking for refreshments.




As for the Urine free team Did you enjoy the new place? ( don't want to get all confused with which hacienda is which)
The counter sevice place next door is pretty good so I hope the sit down is good too.

And there you go, the underside of society running to Mexico for free drugs. Sad really.

[dvczerfs]

great update barry!! if you needed me to pee on your leg so you have an easier act to follow in your tr, you should of said something when we were down there. didnt know you can get free drugs at wdw. ill have to keep it mind.
