Have you ever had a shock?

I'll stop there. So after about 5 minutes of them moving around and bumping into me

We were in line behind a young couple who needed to return to their hotel room -- and of all places at the small spinning coaster ride in Dinoland.
They were with another couple who was probably as embarassed as anyone else. They seemed like the average tourist.
The lovey couple seemed more like someone he paid to act that way in public.
Even after the CM boarded them. I said I was surprised they could leave each other alone long enough to ride.
CM laughed and agreed.
Good thing it wasn't a dark ride.

Great thread! When I was at WDW in April, we were in Epcot. This woman was with her two sons, one of which was acting very bratty. The mom was trying to take them to a nice restaurant for lunch, but the older 5' plus son started pitching a fit and basically being a little snot. He kicked his foot, and his sandal goes flying into the bushes. So poor mom has to climb up and dig through thick Split Philodendrons to find his shoe, which she doesn't. In the meantime, bratty son pours a bottle of water into mom's backpack, *ruining* dad's new $500 digital camera. So mom, at her wit's end, picks up the remaining sandal and proceeds to spank her son with it. Totally shocking behavior!

Oh, yeah. . . that was me and my son! I"m surprised I haven't seen that story on here yet. . it was pretty shocking, but I tell ya, at that moment in time I was at my wit's end and didn't know what else to do!

My family and I are huge Disney fans and visit the World twice a year. A lot of the postings were starting to get depressing so I thought I would try and give everyone a laugh.

I can only remember one shocking moment and it was my fault.

My youngest son had to be about four years of age at the time. My family was grabbing a quick bite at the McDonald's in AK. My youngest son leaned over to me and explained he needed to go to the bathroom. So, we got up from the table and off to the rest room. Now, not thinking that he probably had never used a urinal before and forgetting to ask if he had to go #1 or #2, I ushered him into the bathroom and pointed to one of the childrens urinals. I figured I might as well go myself since I was there so I began to utilize the first adult urinal. After a few seconds I leaned back a little to check on him and to my surprise, his pants were down to his ankles and he was sitting in the urinal getting ready to go #2. I let out an earth shattering "NO" and then began to laugh so hard I couldn't do up my zipper. The look on his face was so innocent and priceless. He just figured, OK I'll use that if you say so. Still trying to contain myself from laughter I quickly picked him up off the urinal and rushed him into a stall. After he was finished, he received an unscheduled sponge bath.

Just thought I would admit to my own mistake to get a little laughter going again. We love Disney and will be leaving for 9 days on June 17th.

Hi, Neens, welcome to the DIS Boards! Great story about you and your son - too funny!

Looks like we'll be at WDW at the same time - we'll be there June 15 through June 23. I'll have lime green yarn tied to all the zippers on my fanny pack (if you haven't read about it yet, lime green in the DIS color that we use to recognize each other in the World) so if you see me, come up and say "Hi!"

 

[Grog]

Welcome aboard Neens! It's great that you can laugh at yourself over that. Thanks for sharing

A friend and I were going to the airport on a Mears bus. We got on at POFQ and the bus stopped at OKW next. A couple with 2 kids were sitting in the row behind us on both sides. The little boy behind me says, "mom I have to go to the bathroom". She looks to the back and tells her husband to take him back but don't let him touch anything. I guess the husband (sitting on the other side of the aisle), ignored her. The mom then says "here, go in here". I looked between the seats and he was peeing into a water bottle!

 

[Neens]

Thanks for the welcome! DH and I have been reading the boards for a while and he just had to share his story lol.

As we are reading all these 'shock' posts we are quite glad that we haven't run into many of these. Rude guests are one thing, maybe we just don't notice some of this other stuff..

Thanks again

Welcome to the DIS Neens!!

Your story reminds me of something that happened to DH, but a Chuck E. Cheese not WDW.

DD was about 2 1/2, and not quite potty trained. I was about 6 months pregnant with DD2 so I could not lift DD1 to the changing tables anymore (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!). Anyway, DD1 needed a diaper change badly! SO DH takes her intothe men's room, changes her on the changing station, then sets her down to wash his hands. As he turns around from washing his hands DD1 is across the bathroom just grabbing the "mint" in the bottom of the urinal. Needless to say DH was his hands again and DD's after extricating the "mint" from her hands!

I wonder why he won't change DD2's diapers at Chuck E. Cheese?!?

I am laughing so hard at this because it sounds like something I would do had my buttons been pushed that hard. We have yet to ever do sit-down dining at WDW except for three character meals (one each trip) and aside from the $$ factor, it's mostly because I fear my children's behavior in nice restaurants.

I saw the same thing almost happen once at IOA. There was a family about to get on the Jurassic Park ride and the little girl (probably about 8 or 9) was screaming & crying, begging not to go on the ride. The dad kept yelling at her telling her to sit down. Thankfully the girl running the ride made them get out of the boat and told the dad "I'm not making her ride". We were so relieved.

Wow, three days later. I've finished the thread. whew!

I don't have a good shocker, but here's mine.

The first time I went to WDW I was an adult. This was in July of '96 or '97. It was the year of all the forest fires in FL. No fireworks for the 4th.
Anyway, My DH and I were in a very long line in Epcot. I think it was Honey I Shrunk the Audience. The line snaked around outside and we were in the sun. A little girl (4 or 5years old) directly in front of us in line started to cry. She wasn't being bratty or anything. I think she was just hot in the sun and tired of waiting and was getting cranky. No less than a minute after she started to cry a clown came out of nowhere on a motor scooter and tried to cheer her up. He told jokes and teased her dad and made us all balloon animals. (I got a Tigger.) As soon as the line started to move he motored away.

I was suprised by it. My DH leaned over and whispered to me, "Big Brother is watch you." That was exactly what I had thought.

Amen! So many people might look on and say to themselves, "Oh, look at that horrible mother, smacking her child like that!" I say, walk a mile in my shoes. . .hehe. . .

But with my son acting up like he did, well let's say I now believe that was a case of Karma coming full circle! My mom told me this the other day: "*Well*, Ann, when I took you and your brother to Disneyworld, you were *horrible* and *snotty*! You didn't want to do *anything* we wanted to do, and one night I wanted to go have a nice dinner at the Papeete Verandah restaurant and you *refused*! You insisted on eating at that crappy burger joint by the pool!"

OMG, I about fell out of the chair. . I had forgotten what a bratty, hormonal 13 year old I was! Yep, Karma, what goes around comes around, and ya reap what ya sow!

I forgot about this one.

Last September my family and I got a seat right at the curb in front of the castle for the parade. As the crowd grew, this lady was pushing her way into our space. I was sitting on the ground so people could see behind me and my four children were there as well. My 1 yr old was in his stroller and my husband was behind me. This lady was finally on top of me and I got up and went to the back of the crowd leaving my husband with my children. This lady was about to sit on top of my baby...I guess she wanted to join him in the stroller. My husband finally had to say something. She was huffy and wouldn't move. He held the baby and we still had our good seats to the parade, but I couldn't believe her nerve.

Oh yes you do! My Dad always prided himself on his smart-aleck one-liners, until my sisters and I picked up the same habit and started using them on him! Unfortunately, I learned nothing from this and now my 6 year-old is just as "clever" as I thought I was when I 'talked back' to my Dad at her age. So, we are running with three generations of this now...

My mother rented a wheelchair for the day...she has a condition that makes it difficult to sit or stand for long periods of time. I was about 5 or 6 months pregnant. So when she had to do her standing time, I would use the wheelchair.

At the end of the evening--we went to the Main Street Bakery--it was organized the old way where you had to go through the line barricades before being able to enter the store. People were trying to bypass the parades by cutting through the store. They I was blocking the path with the wheelchair--b/c it was a line for the bakery and it was wide enough for the wheelchair. Without saying a weird, I was straddled to enable as these people climbed over my wheelchair.

I think I said something in response, but they were in too much of a hurry to care. RUDENESS

I see several posts where people are shocked by those who have their snacks and such.

It is shocking those who hide their snacks as if it is a covert operation. We have brought in coolers that security has searched through--food is not prohibited from being brought into the parks. If it was, they would have huge trash bins for security to dump the contents to prevent it from entering the park.

Personally, the only time I have been shocked by seeing people bring in food is when they are not being safe with the storage of the food or when they make a big show out of "sneaking" it in. One time we saw a family eating boiled eggs that they had carried around the park all day long. Just hope they didn't get sick.
