Have you ever had a shock?

[CynJ]

In general, I have no problem with breastfeeding in public. As long as you don't whip the puppy out in full view of everyone and leave it there while Jr. hooks up. It sounds like MommyPoppins did it right. She was pretty discreet and covered up.

ITA! I have nothing against it - and I think if more women were a tad more modest about it that the general public wouldn't be so uppity about it. I personally hate being flashed

And on that note I will share a funny story - not Disney but cute none the less - we were at a zoo in Canada - and this woman was sitting there breastfeeding (and was sort of oblivious lol) - her DS - about 5-6yrs old was watching the monkeys playing when he started asking all sorts of obnoxious questions - lol like- "mommy why don't yours (pointing to her breasts) look like the momma monkeys?" -he was saying this very loudly and his father apparently thought it was hysterical. By the look she shot him I bet he slept on the couch for a while.

I remember when me and my family were at MGM and we were in line for the GMR. It was the LONGEST line! You wouldn't believe it! Then, all of a sudden this huge group with at least 10-15 people start cutting the line and just kept saying to everyone "Our friend is holding our place up front". Everyone in line was giving that group a lot of dirty looks.

We were in line for Buzz at the end of the evening and as we're walking through the turnstiles INSIDE, these little boys (probably around 6 & 8) come barreling past the FIVE of us. Then, when the parents catch up to us, they PUSH PAST us to their sons. Some people are SO rude!!

Also on our "off" day from the parks (4th of July) at CR, this kid "hurled" (puked, whatever your "special" word for it might be...lol) in the Mickey pool! It was all BLACK, like in Nemo, every time someone made the octopuss "ink." It was REALLY gross! Sadly, NO ONE did ANYTHING!! I grabbed all 3 of our kids from that pool and made them use the "quiet" pool on the lake for the rest of the vacation. Loking back, I realized all the water probably filters from the same place anyway, so it was most likely a "moo" idea on my behalf.

As for the breastfeeding, when it gets down to it, babies have to eat and this Florida heat is unbearable BEFORE you throw a blanket over yourself. I had to nurse my kids do to severe allergies and they were unable to tolerate ANY formula. But I was so discreet, that I was doing it a restaraunt and carrying on a convo. and it wasn't until I "detached (lol) to burp him that anyone had even realized it. They just thought I was rocking and snuggling the baby. The bigger issue is that our society has to make breastfeeding so "taboo." There is absolutely NOTHING sexual about it. And it sounds lke from the posts here, that there is a LOT worse going on (like on balconies! LOL)

Ok, that was MY .02!

On our last visit, we were standing in line waiting to get into DQ. There were 2 women, I'm guessing in their mid 30s who were obviously sisters, waiting in front of us, and one was scratching her back. She asked her sister what was on her back, and the other said a pimple. So what does she ask her sister to do...... POP IT!!! AND SHE DID!!! EWWWWW!!

I just about hurled!

 

[Toni300z]

Hahahahaha, OMG!
I am only on page 15, but this is the funniest thread ever.
So sorry to hear about those poor kids being abused and humiliated by their insensitive parents. Some people do not deserve kids.

 

[Stacerita]

I have read all the posts (over a period of time and as they were posted). And I loved every single page of them. Ok, this happened recently at DL and as soon as it happened I thought, "yeah! I finally have something to post on the shocker thread".

I took my brother and his family to DL and it came up that he had never seen Fantasmic. So we decided to see the second show for that night. When we went to get a place to see the show, there was practically no where. My SIL and all the kids were able to find a place to sit while my brother and I found a nice standing area by a pole and trash can. We thought we lucked out since he is rather tall and could lean over the light pole and I could lean over the trash (since Im much shorter). We had a perfect view. Right in the middle with only people sitting infront of us, no one to stand in front of me.....perfect I thought.

Everything was great and fine for a while, and I it didn't bother me that people were tossing their trash and slamming the little door. Not a big deal since I was the one leaning on the can. (hey, it was a long day). Then as the show is getting close to starting some kid, probably around 10ish or 11ish kept swinging the little door, ducking down, letting it slam and then look at me. Swinging the door, ducking down, letting it slam, looking at me. And everytime I his eyes caught mine he had the deer in the headlight look going on. But he kept it up. Swinging the door, ducking down, letting it slam, looking at me. Then it all clicked and I turned to my brother to ask him just as he turned to me to ask me the same thing. "Is this kid throwing up?????" Sure enough, the gentleman behind me tapped me on the shoulder and told me. EWWWW! I stepped back from my perfect spot (or so I thought), covered my nose because Lord knows if I whiffed it, it would be over for me.

Now where were his parents this whole time? Sitting up near the front row. They didn't want to lose their seats so they sent the kid alone to the can. First the dad comes up, then leaves. Mom comes up and then leaves again. She sends dad back up to him and they walk off and mom goes and sits down. Dad eventually comes back but not the kid. Dont know where he ended up because both mom and dad watched the show.

Right after the kid left the show was getting ready to start. My brother and I quickly disscused if we should get someone to clean it up. We thought if we did the smell might come up and would be worst than if we didn't call anyone. Someone did flag a CM down to clean. 3 CMs came by and walked away. Didn't know why they didn't do something right away. Till the last CM came over. He moved the trash can to begin cleaning and we saw it. The kid missed the can. He missed a lot. Now, before you read on to see what my brother said I warn you....weak stomachs and those grossed out easy should skip to the next paragraph. Once we saw it on the ground my brother told me "It looks like the kid had chowder for dinner." Double EWWWW!

Kinda ruined the rest of Fantasmic for me. My brother did like it, I told him to see it again to really get the feel for it. Watching it while this was going on wasn't the same. We couldn't move beacuse we were afraid my SIL and all the kids wouldn't find us if we did. I will say, I was very impressed with the way the CM cleaned up the mess. Trust me, no one likes that kind of job, even if its for our own kids. But the CM did a great job and there was no smell what so ever. But I refused to lean or get close to the can again.

Next time I might just spring for the dessert buffet to avoid this kind of situation all together.

Note to self...
Stay away from the chowder!

OMG on the black ink. That poor kid! Isn't throwing up black a really bad sign (like blood or something)?

And ITA on the BF issue. It is not big deal I don't see why so many get all unnerved about it.

 

[Wickedmom75]

YAY I finally got to the end , For now. I have been to DW 3 times since 2002 and have not seen anything that I can recall (probably because I was too busy looking after my kids or helping out the rest of my family) One thing i did notice and commented on to my husband was that none of the trash cans had that nasty rotting pukey smell when we went in august of 02, that is one thing I can't stand is that kind of stench. Hope someone else posts soon can' wait to read more.

I posted this already under "shake your head" but it could go here too. It was pretty funny!

We had a funny one on President's weekend. We were watching the American Experience, and a cell phone rang right behind us. I didn't think too much of it - we use our cell phone in the parks when we split up. I ASSUMED the user would just shut it off. (You know what happens when you ASSUME). Anyway, she starts talking really loudly into it - has to bcs the sound track is pretty loud. Well, then I thought maybe an emergency - she will move away - keep it really brief. No! She starts a long ridiculous conversation - almost shouting. "Hi - how are you? Oh Really - no just sitting here. WHere should we go to dinner? Oh - thats a great place, - what's so-and- so up to?" And on.

My DH finally hissed "sssh" at her. Funnily, when the lights went up, we had to turn and see what kind of idiot would scream into a cell phone during a show - I mean she coould have easily left. The caller bolted up out of her chair and ran to the door - she was completely coiffed perfectly from head to toe - very high heels - and she tripped on them as she tried to run full steam out the exit. You should have seen her run down the exit ramp in her heels. I guess she thought we might beat her up.

It really takes all kinds.

What a goon! Who goes to WDW in very high heels (or any high heel for that matter)? And who in their right mind tries to run in them! She was clueless from head to toe!

I was totally shocked one time at the "It's a Small World" ride. A totally nude, supermodel got in the boat with me and...

Oh wait, that didn't really happen....

 

[lfama]

Have you ever witnessed something in the park that totally shocked you???

This morning, while waiting in line for Playhouse Disney, a woman took a small child behind the concrete wall near the stage entrance and had him urinate. DH and I were both totally shocked! About two minutes later "Jamie" the star of the show walked right through the puddle on her way into the theatre. I will never forget that moment for the rest of my life. I seriously think my jaw hung open for five minutes because I just couldn't believe it.

Something like this happened when the boyfriend and I went to Great Adventure. A child, about eight or nine years old, was urinating as we waited in line for a Haunted Hay Ride. Right in front of everybody, not even off to the side. Then again, we were in Jersey, so it did not surprise me all that much. Still, though I was very angry that a parent would let their child do such a thing. People these days!

 

[ms4getful]

Yes! I have finally read all the replies to this VERY, VERY, VERY long thread!

 

[standardcandles]

I am so grossed out right now...........I am so glad I never, ever use public drinking fountains. I dont care if disney charged ten dollars a bottle for water - I'm buying it!

I saw the most discusting thing about 6 years ago in one of the wdw water parks - i can't remember which one - but i still have nightmares about it.

A tremendously fat girl was in the pool and she did not know it but part of her female anatomy was falling out of the BOTTOM half of her suit. At first i saw a big piece of flesh and did not know what it was, i was shocked and appalled and completely and totally grossed out when I figured out what it was. It looked like a london broil was hanging out of her bathing suit.

I have been running on a treadmill ever since. I have seen lots of gross things in my 40 years but that one still "haunts" me that's how gross that was.


I think that thing rides shotgun!

As a girl who is "temendously fat" and tasteful in her choice of swimwear, I would like to point out that I've seen plenty of scarily clad skinny girls in hotel pools before. The only difference between the chubby chick you mentioned and the tiny, almost naked girls I see while walking around SF in Atlanta is that, in your sitch, the nudity was unintended.

Maybe you should think about being just a tad less superficial... does it really matter that the girl was overweight?

Thanks,

Big, little, fat, skinny, tall, short.... I don't care. Just keep your london broil reigned in.

Some of the things here are quite comical and some are terribly sad (and lots are just really gross). I find it hard to understand how breastfeeding during a show is offensive, especially in comparison to abusing one's children in lines or by forcing them to go on rides.

When I was 10 (about 26 years ago now!) I was with my mom and brother at a restaurant in MK. My mom asked me to save a table while she waited in the long line for lunch. While I was waiting a spanish speaking couple came up and sat down with me and despite my repeated pleading for them to leave, they would only say "no speaka english". I finally gave up in tears and went back to line with my mom.
