Have you ever had a shock?

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

The first night in Disney, you can imagine my surprise when my wife and I are seated at Teppayanki and the CM brings over the other people to our table - THAT guy, his identical TWIN BROTHER and their two wives!!! Sigh.

I died when I read this...I have to ask...Did he have his cell phone? And did he recognize you?

I commute everyday to work on a small train. Seating is very limited and it's virtually impossible to have an enjoyable commute.

There is one fellow traveler who most of us do our best to avoid sitting with. He constantly is talking on his cell phone (even at 5:30AM) and without trying to be overly critical, let's just say personal hygenie doesn't seem to be his forte.

The day before my last trip, I wound up sitting within 10 feet of him both going to work and coming home (1 hour each way). He was ultra-annoying that day and it was all I could do to keep from boiling over.

After I got home, I relaxed, breathed in a deep breath and thanked my wife for booking a trip to WDW so I could have a week away from the horror that is my commute.

shocked thats parents leave kids unattended at lego land while they shop and drink. Lego land is not a place to leave young children. My daughter was playing at one of the play stations when a kid ran up the middle of it and jumpped off kicking my daughter who was 3 right in the head knocking her to the ground. I shouted some words I probably should not have said but I was scared. The kid saw my face and ran. The manager came over and helped me calm my daughter then we looked for the kid but couldn't find him until one of the store employees found him playing in another part of the store. The manager made him apoligize only after he talked to the kid for like five minutes. I asked where his parents where and the kid said they left him there to shop. He was like 10. I asked the manager what he was going to do about this and he said he would have to call the authorities. I don't know if he did or not my daughter was ok all I did was fill out an accident report. What the H*** are parents thinking leaving a 10 year old alone in a crowded marketplace.

OMGosh do I agree!!!!! The question is not what are they thinking, but do they ever think? Because no person in their right mind would let their kid wonder around alone when it's crazy there!

A few things. This one I posted under "worst WDW memories, but it definitely fits here:"

-Pirates broke down, and we waited for about 10 minutes for a CM to unload us. Apparently people don't feel like waiting (or being safe), as guests began climbing out of the boat and leaving through the nearest door, unassisted. Besides disrespecting the dignity of the attraction, these morons were putting themselves in danger. Then, who was left began harrassing the poor CM who came out, much to the ire of the woman in front of me, who got into it with a man further up in the boat. He was in her face screaming at her while we were exiting and leaving the BS area (CMs watched and didn't say anything, I think they thought it was a domestic thing. Finally I told them that this gentleman seemed pretty angry and was harrassing her and they held him back until she could leave).

-In line for Honey, I Shrunk The Audience, a girl of about 10 was in line ahead of us, playing on the floor in the pre-pre show area. Well, she wasn't wearing any undies, and the whole world (okay, the queue) knew it. It was pretty offensive.

-I was waiting for Wishes last month, sitting on the bench around Partners, when these teenagers began ripping off plants and throwing them at their friend. Just thinking of the CMs who work all night to keep the plantlife looking great got me mad at these kids. Finally, I merely said, "Don't do that" and smiled. They stopped

I'm sorry, I almost forgot the best shock of all:

-Picture it: Waiting for the Boo To You Parade (Sophia Petrillo moment). Mom's getting a hot dog (no witnesses!). Suddenly, a strange site comes down Main Street (heading towards the exit). Gosh, I wish I had a picture:

Leading the pack was "Mom," driving a rented ECV (is that what they're called?). Now, for the record, I'm a big girl, so please don't be offended by this, but it's necessary for the mental image. Mom is a big gal, too.

Holding on to the back of Mom's ECV in her rented wheelchair, is "Daughter 1," who is also, quite a big girl.

Holding on to the back of Daughter 1's wheelchair (I guess Mom didn't want to spring for 3 ECVs) was "Daughter 2," in her rented wheelchair, who, yes, was also a big girl.

Despite the fact my mom was gone, I just had to murmur, "Look, it's the lazy train!" Note, it was a murmur. I'm not in the habit of heckling people. It just had to be said. The foreign man next to me didn't understand, so there was no satisfaction other than my own.

You're welcome

I don't quite understand. Were you shocked by the sight of 3 wc's joined together, or were you shocked that the disabled were large ladies? Yes, I know you said you were a large person yourself. Were they lazy because they were in wc.'s or lazy because they were large people? Either way, you have offended someone.

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Pampam, I think the poster was shocked because they were a human train. Using a wheelchair myself, I probably would have rolled my eyes at this one too.

 

[Idroveallnight]

I have to admit that seeing a human train going down Main Street would have made me look twice. Maybe they don't have to be a lazy train, but rather an extension of the WDW Railroad???

Did he recognize you? Did you say anything to him?

If he didn't, I would have thought about having a conversation about nasty people on the train. THEN maybe he would recognize himself!

There are a lot of things that were done during the Victorian era and I am not sure if any are worth bringing back.

Yep, while we're at it, let's bring back slavery and take away women's right to vote.

Perhaps I should clarify. The daughters were young teenagers in rented WDW wheelchairs. The odds that all three of these people, the mother, and two teenagers, were disabled and decided to rent WDW wheelchairs because they did not have their own, is very low. As a result, I concluded that at the very least, the daughters did not want to walk in WDW, and where therefore hooking on to their mother.

I apologize for offending anyone. My Disneyphile friends at home really found it funny what lengths people will go to. Considering my good, physically-challenged friend enjoyed it the most is subjective, I guess.

agreed. i think thats what she was saying, that there was a human train being led by the motorized chair..(aka the engine)

i don't think it is offenseive , i think it was just shocking for the poster to see.

I waved hello, smiled, cursed under my breath and secretly wished a bad case of food poisoning on him. (semi-kidding)

If people are offended at the lazy train, they need to go to another web site, maybe 'Buffets R Us'.
As for breast feeding, Whip em out ladies! I like to look, and that's also a normal human reaction, albeit a male reaction. Which sparks, sometimes, another normal male reaction.

 

[AnaheimGirl]

Oh, good grief. Someone mentions one of the few things that were better about pre-Victorian times, and it has to get turned into this?

Oh, dear!

Such a tiny about of skin visible for such a short amount of time, and you get that kind of reaction? You must never be able to go to a beach or swimming pool.

I'm so sorry.

Wow, if you have b**bs big enough to be seen when you're breastfeeding, then they're probably not the kind guys enjoy looking at

And I see this thread veering off into predictable flamitory...
