Have you ever had a shock?

[Missy1961]

A few years ago, My mother and I were at Chef Mickeys at the Contemporary for the breakfast buffet. We had gotten our food, and were eating quietly. Many people were asking for bacon, as they had run out. So, they put the bacon out, and these two rather obese men cut everyone, and take ALL THE BACON. There must have been 100 slices!!!!!

I just didnt know what to do! It was insane!!

Obese or not, that was rude!

I dont know how shocking this is but... a few years ago while @ MGM we were watching the B&B show which was then by Al's Toy Barn - during the show when the wolves attacked the Beast suddenly everything came to halt - all the actors left the stage and there was a announcement to the effect "Ladies and gentlemen - due to the safety of our blahh blah...we will cancel this performance blah blah...and they ended there with everyone being asked to leave, it was pretty weird. The best I could assume was that there was an accident with a fire torch during the scene.

In January I brought my 2 neices with me to MGM, ages 6 and 2. We had just gotten off a ride and went to grab something to eat. I got the girls ice cream and we sat on a stone wall by Rock N' Roller Coaster. Sitting next to us is this older couple with their grandkids who were pretty little. I notice the kids playing with something in the bushes behind them and the grandmother says to my neice.....look at the little animal they found, do you want to pet it? The grandkids are playing with it and touching it. So my neice and I go over to where they are sitting and see the kids playing with a rat!!! I almost died and grabbed my neice away and told her not to "play" with the cute little animal. I can't imagine that this couple did not know that it was a rat but we scurried out of there pretty quickly!

That's really strange. No explanation or anything?
That reminds me of when I was in a show (a Disney review of all things, haha [I was Mary Poppins]) and the power went out in the building right in the middle. The only thing that worked was the spotlight. So the spotlight stayed on our pianist who played away until the power came on a few minutes later. We never actually explained anything to the audience, but I think they got it, lol.

after all this time and reading eveyr single post, I feel I ahve to comment

The only thing on this post that really gets to me is how much of a problem peole have with parents changing diapers outside of a bathroom changing area. hey if my kids poops right after we get off a ride, i'm going to change him right there in the stroller or on a bench. I will throw it away in the nearest trash container but other than that, it would be none of your business. Do you know how many nasty germs are on those diaper changers?? I NEVER change my kids on one.

One more thing, perhaps if every time we see a child wether 2 or 16 doing something they shouldn't, maybe we could try to locate a CM and then the parent would ahve to deal with a CM and not you. maybe you could prevent someone from getting hurt instead of "watching in amazement as a 4 yr old climbs a fence he should not be on"

Sorry you feel that way, but there are many rest rooms located conveniently throughout the parks. You could take your stroller into the rest room & change your child there. No one says you have to use the changing station.

I would never use a public bench to change a child. That is just rude & unsanitary, IMO. Use the restroom to change your child.

And a park bench has LESS germs? Sorry, I understand your problem with a changer, but I don't think you should change your child in view of others.

Do you know why there are germs on diaper changers? Because people change diapers on them.

Now, when you change your kid's diaper on a bench, do you know how many germs YOU put on that bench where people sit... and sometimes EAT?!?

Plus, I don't need to see (or smell) that when I'm innocently walking by.

And how many germs are on the bench when you're done with it? It really is more appropriate to change your child's diaper in the restroom.

My SIL carries a can of lysol spray and sprays down the changing tables before she uses them.

Oops! Getting off topic

Any more shocking stories? I'm enjoying these and would hate to have one of my favorite threads closed. Thanks!

Just a question for pyrxtc. I don't want to throw fuel on the fire, but you do seem concerned about hygene. Where do you wash your hands after changing a dirty diaper? I suppose you might wash up in the waterfountain, but don't you think it would be nicer to use the washroom, where there is warm water and soap?

We were checking out the merchandise at the little store there when we noticed a lady changing her baby's diaper (which is fine). When she was done changing him (and let me add this was a 2 year old looking child with a NASTY #2 diaper) she proceeded to look around for a garbage can, and casually drop the diaper into one of the purple containers that you put your 3-D glasses in after the show! I looked at my DH to see if he had seen what I had seen, and obviously he did because he had the same dumbfound look on his face!

Another spontaneous diaper changer!

And now all those germs are on the benches too. Thanks a lot. That's like pooping in the street because the toilets are too dirty for your hiney!

Last week when I was on the bus back to Pop (from MK) a little boy (about 2 years old) was getting on the bus with his dad, mom, and older brother. He had one of those HUGE silver mylar balloons with Mickey's face on it. Apparently his dad didn't think he was holding it close enough and he jerked it and yelled, "If you let that thing go, I am gonna pop it and you WON'T get another one." It was completely out of nowhere. I don't know about ya'll, but I remember being two and balloon holding etique was not exactly one of my talents. The poor kid was just trying to hold onto his balloon when his mean dad snapped at him. I hate when parents do things like that at the "Happiest Place On Earth"

I read each and every one of these, and I have a different shocking story.
A few years ago, when I was in college, I was at WDW with my parents. We were eating at a resturant inside of the Magic Kingdom called Libertry Tree Tavern. We were seated, and we ordered, and a new family sat down at the table next to us. It was a mom, dad, and a ~3 year old.The waiter offered a child's menu for the kid, but the mom said, no, he is just a baby so he is just having baby food. She then ordered for her and the dad ordered and they got out baby food jars. The boy started to whine saying that he wanted mac and cheese, and the mom just spoke to him in the way people talk to little babies, saying, oh my sweet little baby, you are just a little baby, you need to eat baby food. She took a spoon, scooped up baby food, and tried to feed the boy he started whining even louder that he wanted mac and cheese. A waiter came over and asked if they wanted to order mac and cheese for the kid, and the family said, no, he is not old enough for it, he just needs baby food. By the time we left the kid was screaming mac and cheese, mac and cheese over and over again. It was horrible, and I don't know much about babies, but as far as I know 3 year olds don't eat baby food.
