Grossest Thing You've Seen at the Parks

[fun4disney]

I saw a mother make (yes make, because obviously the child didn't want to) pee in a bowl on the gorilla trail at Animal Kingdom and dumped it out in a bush......then put the bowl back under the stroller...this wasn't a potty, it was just a tupperware bowl.

Same trip, at Cosmic Rays I saw a mother trimming her childs toe nails at the table..

 

[Mrs. Bee]

HAHAHA. Okay. Yes. This is gross. And I would have been so angry if I'd gone to the park while it was like that. How awful! I'm still so thankful that the wand was gone at Epcot.

This is certainly the MOST disgusting thing I have ever heard..

Saw a woman at BB unwedge her thong by repeatedly pulling it out of the ***ck in her backside using her index finger. Then picks up the hot dog she was eating and finishes her lunch. No hand washing for her. Nasty!

I also get tired of seeing kids with their fingers up their noses.

This reminded me of our last trip when we were walking through the queing of RRC in MGM. My dd 15 was olding on to the ropes as she was walking through and she started screaming. She got someones booger on her hand that they left on the rope. She is a HUGE germaphobic and swore she could feel the germs crawling all over her hand. Very gross but I couldn't stop laughing at her reaction.

I had forgotten about his, but DH sat in gum a couple of years ago waiting for the bus at the Poly.....There was a trash can right next to the bench, too...somebody was just too lazy to reach over and put it in.

We went to WDW two years in a row with that castle. Not two trips in a row, two different years in a row The first time we were like, okay yea, whatever, but the second time it was more like NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!


And we were glad to see that tacky glued on wand was gone too! We walked into the park and about cried when we saw it was back to normal.

But I DID enjoy reading it....Definitely an eye opener. We're not typically hand sanitizer people, but we will be for our trip!

Just a reminder for hand sanitizers. After the 6th time that you use sanitizer, you are supposed to go and wash your hands for it to continue to be affective. Sorry...just came back from a training refresher at the hospital.

Interesting, I didn't know that. WHY?

Because hand santizers are anti-bacterial and your body become immune to the product after awhile as it builds up on your hands, making it ineffective.

So your hands become immune to the effectiveness of an alcohol based cleaner?

This says they don't really work all that well! AND that harmful germs may actually be carried or held by the sanitizer. (??)

Wierd!! DW and I used them on our last trip, and I wanted to wash my hands after use, it felt like it left a residue!

No, they're obviously effective but they are a temporary solution. They do leave a residue.

Your body does not build up "immunity" to the hand sanitizer. It's the germs the hand sanitizer is killing, not you. What is probably occuring is that not all of the germs are killed and remain trapped in the dried colloid that remains after the germ-killing alchohol evaporates.

Continually adding more hand sanitizer may build up layers of dried colloid with the germs remaining in those layers. Washing your hands DOES NOT KILL germs; it physically washes them off your body. The nice clean sudsy germs just go down the drain...

FWIW, I never go to Disney anymore without hand sanitizer for EVERYONE, on their lanyards. Everyone in our family has come down with gastroenteritis at least once before I stared my draconian hand sanitizer before every meal and at the top of the hour policy, which my DH laughed at until he had to do the 7 hour drive home puking into a bag the whole way, and is now a believer

Too many people in Disney in close contact with poor sanitary habits=this thread...

 

[Mrs. Bee]

i read somewhere that wet ones wipes are better to use than a liquid like purell? i typically have both with me. and i wash my hands a LOT throughout the day....i guess that's one of the good things about having a small bladder...i wash my hands a lot. haha.

Think I'll just grab a box of latex gloves from work and wear them! Do you think purple gloves would be noticed at WDW???

 

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

Your body does not build up "immunity" to the hand sanitizer. It's the germs the hand sanitizer is killing, not you.

Actually that's really disputable. Now, most professionals agree that anti-bacterial products not only kill germs but they wipe out the good bacteria in your body as well - the bacteria that keeps the body healthy. That's why we've seen a major decrease in the presciption of antibiotics for things like the flu. This is why I say that anti-bacterial soap is a temporary solution. And you do have to wash your hands every now and then to wash off the residue or else it's doing just as much harm as it is good.

Ok I've got two that both make me gag just thinking about them:

1. Turkey legs
2. The "princess" bathrooms in Fantasyland/MK...definately NOT fit for a princess-blech!

I actually thought pretty much ALL of the bathrooms at WDW were disgusting when we were there last month. Ugh. Maybe my standards are just too high because almost all of the bathrooms at Disneyland are super clean.

It's a tie for us...

1. Watching a family ask their boys to pee into a water bottle at the Safari ride loading, so they didn't have to leave the line and come back.

2. Watching a man pick dead skin off his feet on the monorail, and proceed to dump said skin all over the floor. Nasty...
