Two trips back when traveling with friends were doing Disney in late July, aka it was insanely hot every day. I was wearing a pair of linen shorts and we had gone through many of the misters set up around the Animal Kingdom earlier in the day. Damp & overheated we decided to head to MGM. Upon arrival we went right to the RNR. Getting off of the ride vehicle my shorts got snagged on a piece of metal and being damp easily ripped right down the middle. The very helpful CM at the ride got me a handful of baby pins from her own bag so I could do a quick jury rigging in the nearest restroom. Being as discreet as I could, quite embarassed that I was "exposed", I made my way quickly to the restroom and began using the mirror to help me place the pins. A little boy and his dad exited a stall while I was doing so and the little boy immediately saw what I was doing and said, "Holy crap! That is a big rip in your shorts!" The father admonished his son's language but we did all share a chuckle as I said, "Yes, you are indeed correct." The little boy then said, "Isn't your mommy here to help you with that? Do you want me to get my mommy?" I thanked him and said no, and they left. As we were staying offsite and using the hotel's lackluster transportation we knew we would lose the rest of the day if we left, so I secured my shorts, untucked my t-shirt, and no one was the wiser as to what had occurred. I felt very crafty in my recovery. About an hour later we were in line for Tower of Terror and who is about 5 people ahead of us, my bathroom friends. Seeing me the little boy yells down the line "Hey mister, I hope that you got that big hole in your shorts fixed ok!" hehehe
