Have you ever had a shock?

[disneymama73]

Our 4-yr-old was having major tantrums every time we stepped foot into a bathroom last Oct. Every time. I have three girls, so we're in the bathroom a lot! DD has an anxiety disorder and for some reason had severe problems every time I took her into the bathroom. I was near tears having to take her again and begged my DH to take her. He did check to make sure the bathroom was empty first and took her into the stall. Just trying to say you don't always know the whole story, so try not to be so quick to judge others....

He also tries to use companion bathrooms if at all possible when he has the girls by himself (they go on the bigger rides while I wait with the baby).

We were standing in line for Peter Pan on our last trip and my niece and I were playing I-Spy and playing around when my brother grabbed my niece and pulled her up front by him. I must have had a weird expression on my face and he whispered in my ear there is a kid, probably around 12, REALLY digging in his nose and wiping it EVERYWHERE but in a Kleenex!! I turned around and shot the mother a 'look' but she was paying no attention. They werent paying attention to the personal space rule either so I began to put one leg real far out behind me to keep them away and then wiped my hands with a babywipe and topped off with some antibacterial stuff!! YUCK!!

This happened years go in MK. I was wshing my hands in a bathroom at MK, and a woman came up to me. She said,"Hold this while I pee." Direct quote. It was a baby about 4 month old. I was so shocked that I held her and then handed her back when she ws done. I wish I had ripped into her, but I couldn't believe that it had happened.

Surely they have some stalls for when men want to go toilet (but not pee!)?

I know my BF never uses the urinals - always goes in a stall!

Certainly I know they have some stalls, but what I meant was that little girls could see adult men urinating due to the urinals not behind stalls. I know many moms would not want to explain (to borrow from another *shock* thread) why the men in the bathroom had tails like Tigger, whereas a little boy in a women's room would really see nothing, since all women would conduct business inside a stall.

"I know my BF never uses the urinals - always goes in a stall!"

How have you verified this? Do you follow your BF to make sure?

I don't need to follow him. He tells me (and I believe him - he has no reason to lie to me ).

We've been best friends for 7yrs, BTW. Even if he didn't tell me I know him well enough to know what he is un/comfortable with.
What are you trying to imply?

[I don't even understand why you picked up on that part of my post]

That's certainly true!

I just want to say that I think it is totally acceptable for parents to bring their opposite sex children with them into the bathroom. I've never thought about it being more inappropriate for girls to be brought into the men's bathroom...but I can see that too. I've actually personally taken two girls to the bathroom at separate times into the ladies restroom...once when a father asked me and another time when a middle-school aged guy (brother?) asked me. Total strangers. LOL, I guess I must look trustworthy. Mwhahaha lol just kidding

First of all...I'm only through 25 of these pages...planning to read through the rest by the end of this year. I just had to tell you about my experience.

When I was little (around 7...wow...14 years ago)...well, I was thirsty. I asked for a drink of my mom's coke, and she said sure. I unscrewed the bottle and took a big drink...and then puked it back up.

Yeah, I grabbed the wrong bottle...it was the one that she was putting out her cigarettes in (she had two). LOL...she did not do this on purpose...and she still feels awful. I was the one that grabbed the wrong bottle, but I still give her crap about it lol


Hmmm I half expected to read that story about myself in one of these posts. There was quite the crowd around me...and my mom was getting some nasty looks for making her kid drink out of a 'cigarette bottle' lol maybe it still is. I have quite a few pages to go.

I will end this by saying, because of this experience, I do NOT like Pepsi, and I will never smoke lmao

I don't like Pepsi at all and I have never smoked (even though both of parents did) but I am VERY, VERY glad that I did not arrive at my preferences like you did! YUCKY TO THE MAX!

Just got back from a great week at the Food & Wine festival and saw one "shocking" incident. We were walking from the main court area of World Showcase towards Mexico to get a drink there (called a "Conga" - great stuff, BTW!!!) and noticed a woman trying to get her husband and 2 kids lined up for the "perfect" photo. The older son, maybe about 10 y.o. really didn't want to have anything to do with it so the mother was SCREAMING at them that she wanted to take a ****** picture of her ******** family!!!! You can use your imagination as to what the ******s are. Everyone near her was just staring at her. To make it even stranger, the son started giving it back to her - and he was just as vulgar! Weird. This became a week-long standing joke for us as we would take pictures - without the swearing, of course .................... "I just want to take a PICTURE of my family!!!!!!!"

YIKES. That woman was totally obnoxious and stupid. Next time she hands off her kid to a complete stranger she might not get him or her back.

We just returned Tuesday from our trip. Monday while sitting waiting for a show, our family saw a couple walk by with a stroller with a DOG in it! In fact, they sat waiting for the same show as us. I just kept looking at them in disbelief. Why on earth would you bring a dog to DisneyWorld? I understand seeing eye dogs, etc. I also understand people who bring their dogs on vacation. But to the parkts? WHY??? I don't understand why they were allowed in. Where do they urinate, etc.? Just could not believe what we saw. It takes all kinds.

Oh, that sounds just like what my family would do. All over the parks we would have been yelling........."I just want a PICKIN' PICTURE of my PICKIN' FAMILY!".......

"Hold this while I pee"...heh heh! I thought she was going to hand you a souvenir mug or something. It amazes me how trusting (or careless) people are. I've had people ask me, "Can you keep an eye on my kids for a minute?" while they run into 7-11. A complete stranger. Lucky for them I didn't run off with their kids, but I'm sure plenty of children are kidnapped this way.

You sure it wasn't just a really ugly baby?????

Was this in one of the theme parks? If I am correct, I didn't think pets were allowed in the parks. I know seeing-eye dogs and companion pets are allowed, but I'm almost positive that regular pets are not allowed in the parks.

I'd love to know how they got it into the park...I've been trying to explain to my dog that he can't go EVEN though he's seen the commercials with that other Jack Russell Terrier in them. If he hears about this he's going to stowaway!

 

[pampam]

I'm sure dogs are not allowed, unless it was quite small and they smuggled it in. Yet how could they, if the bags are searched? Perhaps it was a stuffed toy dog. It seems to me, I read on another post about a lady who takes a stuffed toy dog with her to WDW. If I remember correctly, it seems she was greiving the death of her dog or child, I forget which, and she takes this toy for a substitute. My heart goes out to unbalanced people. The world must be a sad place for them.

 

[GDUL]

It's funny that the subject of dogs was brought up - we were at WDW from 10/22 through 10/29 and noticed people with dogs (they weren't service dogs) on at least 3 different occasions at the parks. We didn't see any dogs in the parks but noticed them just outside of the park gates - twice at the Magic Kingdom and once outside of the Animal Kingdom. In all of the years that we have been visiting WDW this is the first time that we have noticed this - and to see it so many times, it was just strange (not shocking, I guess - LOL!). It could be that they were denied entrance to the parks with their dogs and were returning to their cars or maybe they were picking up their dogs from Disney's kennels.

 

[MELSMICE]

maybe they were picking up their dogs from Disney's kennels.

I think there is a kennel right near the TTC, so this could be the case.
