Have you ever had a shock?

[brack]

With your story and my story, I wonder how often Disney makes the mistake of double or triple booking a room. Scary if you think about it!!

In the over 20 years we have been going (usually twice a year) this has never happened to us.

To be upgraded to the Polynesian, at any hour, would be worth a little hassle to me!

i quite by accident found this site its not obseen or anything but it makes us think its by the cast members and workers at the disney theme parks and things they have seen that is shocking its called stupidguesttricks and i like it but not as much as this site love this thread and all the peaple are so great here but I do have story for you all
my older sis was at disneyworld last yr with her fiance and as they where waiting in line for a ride a group of tourist not speaking english just cut in front of her and her man. My sister is big on videotaping things so of course she catches them doing it on tape. Her boy toy decides hes not going to let these peaple ruin things on his girl so he takes her out of the line and pulls her ahead of the tour group then procedes to cut right back in front of them all the while giving them a nasty stare. All well again and he stated from that moment on it was the best trip they have ever been on LOL and best of all had anyone asked them what happened they could always show the tape.

Hubby and I were at AK, wandering through the oasis. We stopped to look at a couple of really cute little animals called Reeve's Muntjacs. We were standing there oohing and ahhing over the cute little muntjacs ("Oh, look how cute they are! They're just adorable!" etc. etc.). Suddenly one of the adorable muntjacs started looking really interested in the other adorable muntjac's hind quarters. We wondered if this was a prelude to a romantic moment between the two, when suddenly hubby realized that the one in front was peeing, and the other one was lapping it up before it hit the ground! Suddenly the muntjacs weren't so cute anymore.

Ok- you officially win the prize for the best most shocking moment!!!!

I can't even imagine how shocking it was for you to see this , but i also can't imagine the pain of using tweezers to remove hair from this region. OUCH!

We were also discussing how painfully it must have been. I guess other shocking aspect of this is the fact that the woman didn't even appear to be hurting while she was doing it. She was laughing and smiling as she talked to her family. My wife joked that this was further proof that women are tougher than men!!!

I came back from our trip thinking we never really saw anything shocking. Last night I remembered this though.
We were in line for the Backlot Tour. We were in the far left lane and a family was in the lane next to us. They had several kids and I like watching the kids when we wait in line. The mom was standing behind the DD at one point and I saw her suddenly start digging around in her DD's hair. She ended up picking some bug out of hair. She kept looking at it between her fingers with a look of disgust. She ended up flicking it on the ground as soon as the line started moving. I was hoping it wasn't lice. I just know it was tiny whatever it was and mom didn't look too happy.

Yikes! Maybe it was just a piece of gum or cotton candy remnants or something like that.

I just remembered my shock,I knew i had one!! I got engaged last year in Disney at MK. After he proposed he took me to CG with his cousins who were there with us. We were so happy and wanted to celebrate with a bottle of champagne so we stood at the bar waiting for the bartender to notice us. We stood there for about a good 15 minutes as she kept passing by adn ignoring us. Now mind you the bar was empty. So My fiance couldnt take it anymore so he goes"maybe this will help you notice me" and slammed his money down on the counter. She finally came over to us and asked if she can help us. we were trying to be nice and told her we wanted a bottle of Moet, she takes out two champagne glasses and puts them down and we say" no we need four, theres four of us" She got so nasty and said "You want FOUR glasses for a HALF bottle!!!" We didnt even know what to say she was so mean to us. (maybe its becasue we look young but whatever) .then Fi got a manager and told him the situation and he pulled her to the side and she came over to us and was very nice all of a sudden and gave us a bottle on the house., She made up some story on how the full bottle of Moet was warm, thats why she couldnt give it to us and gave us one of the better bottles. We were upset b/c Fiance chose this restaurant to celebrate our day b/c he knew it was my favorite restaurant. It definalty didnt ruin our time but now we probably wont be going to CG as often as we used to. I was shocked b/c I never thought in a million years that a CM could talk like this and act like that to someone, especially in an upscale restaurant like CG.

We had kind of a shocking moment at Disneyland on Saturday night. A group of us (along with about 7,000 other people) were jockeying for a position to watch the fireworks show. It was very crowded and chaotic, and we all got separated. I turned around to see where my friend was (he was riding an ECV), when all of a sudden this beast of a woman charges up to him and starts screaming: "You just ran over my daughter!" My friend, trying to be nice, says: "I'm so sorry, but it was an accident, she ran right out in front of me." To which she replies: "Maybe you should watch where you're going, *** "My friend then says: "Maybe you should learn to control your kid, how 'bout THAT!" Then she leaned in and cocked her hand back like she was going to slap him! About that time a CM walked up & asked if there was a problem, so she split. Oh, did I mention that this was not a small child we're talking about...she was about 13 or 14 and should have known better to watch where she was going. And he didn't actually run her over, he just bumped her when she jumped out in front of him. Some people...

What a good example for her daughter!

 

[TSM1993]

Dont flame me for this. But the most shocking moments came from my boyfriend. We had just got done with the test track the one year and were taking a quick look at the new cars at the end of the ride. THe GMS and Saturns I think. A salesman came over to us and asked us if he could help us and out of my boyfriends mouth came I dont deal with inferior products. My mouth dropped open so did the salesman and left him with out anything to say. Usually I am the one who says the smart aleck answers or the bit@h of the both of us.

 

[Earstou]

Another Test track story! We were also looking at the new cars after you get off the ride. My ds (age 10) wanted his photo taken with one of the cars. When we got to it, there was a girl of about 24 who was waiting for her boyfriend to take her picture. She was yelling at all the little kids to stay away from the car, because she didn't want anyone else in the picture. After posing around the car for a couple of photos, she got in the driver's seat for a few more. A little boy, new on the scene, attempted to get in the passenger side. She erupted, yelling at him and shoving him out of the car. Geesh, it was only a car!

We were in line for POC and the family behind us had a little boy, maybe 4, he kept stepping on me, grabbing the bottom of my shorts, and kicking my shin. I turned around an asked him to stop but the whole family acted like they hadn't heard me; they didn't speak English. He continued his rude behavior and then he started to play with my backpack! He unzipped the section that had my sunglasses and whatnot in it and it all fell out. Instead of helping the whole family started to laugh. I grabbed my stuff and stuffed it back in my BP, but by now I was furious. He kept kicking me and finally I kicked him back! I couldn't believe that I did it! I didn't kick him hard but I got my point across...they didn't bother me for the rest of the ride! I just couldn't believe that his parents weren't doing anything about it, even when he was going through my stuff.

I probably shouldn't be, but I'm laughing my head off!!! Good for you!

My DD is in a wheelchair and the most shocking remarks have been from people on line when they say 'Oh wow look how lucky they are they get to go ahead of the line" My DH was so tired of hearing that one day he turned to the group that had made the comment and told them he would gladly have our daughter be able to walk and stand in line then be able to go ahead to the front.I know sometimes people don't think about it before they speak but after 20 or so times hearing it we were pretty much were fed up.

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Steffani, not to mention the fact that wheelchairs don't really have front of the line access anymore. Almost all the lines are accessible now.

And, sometimes you even have to wait longer because you are using a wheelchair.

I can't believe people could be so clueless. Good for your DH!

I saw a group of teens in the grocery store a few years ago riding around in the scooters. I knew they could walk perfectly well -- I saw them walk in. You could tell they were just horsing around.

So I am walking down the aisle and one of the little brats rides up to me. I stopped in my tracks, looked him right in the eye and said, "I just hope you don't have to really use those one day due to a true physical illness like some folks who need to use those scooters". Needless to say, he just stared at me and shortly (and I mean shortly) later, he and his creepy friends were gone!

I turned around to see where my friend was (he was riding an ECV), when all of a sudden this beast of a woman charges up to him and starts screaming: "You just ran over my daughter!" My friend, trying to be nice, says: "I'm so sorry, but it was an accident, she ran right out in front of me."

This just jogged my memory of an incident that happened a number of years ago. We were waiting in line for the animation show at the Studios. There was a young girl, maybe 4 years old running all over the place, bumping into people, etc. I remember thinking that this was an accident waiting to happen. Sure enough, it did, unfortunately with my ~ 17 year old daughter. My daughter had her back turned to what was going on (reading the posters or something) when the little girl cut in too close to her, running into the back of her legs, falling down. My daughter turned around to help her up and to see if she was ok when the girls mother ran over and began to verbally attack my daughter for "tripping her little princess." I mean, it was ugly! Since I had seen the whole thing develop, I immediately went over and let her know, in no uncertain terms, what the deal was. No yelling, etc from me but she got an earful! She took her daughter and left, to the applause of everyone else standing in line.

What does that mean, exactly?

 

[Joanna71985]

What does that mean, exactly?

It means that wheelchairs can fit in the lines with everyone else, for most rides anyway. There are a few rides (mostly at MK and Epcot) where they have to go a seperate way.
