Have you ever had a shock?

[zaxmom]

We were at Universal one day when my son was almost 3. We were standing in line waiting for the Barney show and I heard someone say "Oh My God! He's peeing!" I turn to look and see who would let their kid do it there and sure enough, it was my kid. I did not know what to do, so we got out of line and ran for the bathroom.

Kids do say mean things. My other son at three kept saying to me in stores "I don't like that black man, girl, boy." We are not racist people at all and I was surprised he would even say black and not brown, like most kids. We had several talks about this and now when he sees someone he will say "I like that black boy." Still embarrassing, but at least a little nicer.

imo the problem isn't "realizing" someone is different than you, it's thinking it "matters" that someone is different than you

Having dinner at CRT last June. In the ladies room i notice the lady ahead of me at the sink is showing a bare buttock with part of the miniskirt accidentally tucked up. Didn't look hard to see if she was wearing a thong or going 'commando' but did warn her and she was thankful.
Can you imagine if she had walked back through the restaurant to her table with her skirt up?

 

[musicalSaranader]

Yeah that woulda been pretty bad if she left the bathroom like that. She'd better be thankfull you warned her!

My DH and I were eating at MGM in a restaurant when a little girl about 10 started choking across from us. Her mom actually had to give her the heimlich!!

It all happened so fast that there really wasn't a chance to freak out about it before it was over - the manager came out to check on her and soon everyone was back to their dinners - even the little girl - she seemed rather unfazed by the incident.

But I felt so sorry for her little sister who was about 8 - she hugged and hugged on her big sister and sobbed for the rest of dinner unable to eat anymore! Being a little sister myself - I got a little chuckle b/c I remember the days when the world revolved around my big sis!!

It is unbelivable how some people have no class at all. What are they teaching their children. I am a pre school teacher and some of my 4 year old little girls wear thongs with their hip huggers. Do these parents think this is cute?

This happened to a friend of mine in the Orlando airport. She was wearing a sundress & it got "stuck" in her underwear. She walked out into the airport & while walking back to her gate some lady told her. She was mortified.

I have a funny story about losing your child. The first time we went to MK our twins were about 3 and DH and I carried them on our shoulders most of the time while we were waiting in lines so they wouldn't get tired. Our DS was 6 at the time so we were also keeping an eye on him. At one point we were in a very crowded area and my husband was trying to keep an eye on 6 yr. old and suddenly looked panicked and was looking around frantically asking where 3 year old DD was. I looked him straight in the eye and said, "She's on your shoulders!" We laughed so hard we almost cried and almost 8 years later that story still makes me smile!!

That happened to ME!
I was on a crowded NYC bus and somehow my skirt got caught in my underwear and I got off the bus and walked a few blocks before someone stopped me and told me about it.
Terrible!

Well, since everyone else is coming clean about "mooning" the public by mistake...

I was with my husband and friends in a casual restaurant. As I returned from the ladies room I walked across the restaurant to our booth on the far side. When I sat in the booth I realized that I had WAY too much contact with the seat. Yep, "dress caught in the old panty hose flash" had just happened to an entire restaurant of post church goers!

another "full moon" story husband is apainter and was painting a fast food rest. late at night ( they were still open) somehow a female customer got confused and A) used the men's instead of women's and B) for somereason known only to her, need to wash her bare naked butt off in the sink so she removed her pants and that\'s when my hubby happened to go in to paint the men's room... must have scarred him for life as he still freaks out and blushes beet red!

 

[MELSMICE]

These "full moon" stories are way too funny!

Well, just go back from my California Adventure and really had one little shock while at DL.

I was waiting in line in my ECV for the Aladdin show. Now their really is no shade in this area. Just a couple of trees that are about a yard or so a part. I was lucky enough to get into a little bit of shade but I didn't want to take space away from a family of three in front of me who were taking the hour wait to eat their lunch sitting on the ground. So just part of my face was in the shade.

Then these three young couples came up behind me, then the next thing I know they are crowding around me and this small family to take what little shade we had away from us. One couple, wating until the mom and her small daughter had to do to the ladies room, then stept right in front of my ECV like I wasn't even there, so I had to back up a little giving up what little shade I had, and they took the space that the mom and dauther had in line. Now its already hot because of the sun, now we have to deal with these kids body heat.

Shortly before the CMs were to start letting everyone into the theater. The couple that had really hogged up the area, the ones now standing in front of me crowding the family in front of me. Left to go to the bathroom. So I moved up, so when they had to come back they had to get behind me. When they did finally so up, the line was moving, so I moved up with the line. Then one of the people for the young couples crowd called me rude because I moved up and wouldn't let her friends step back in line with them. OH MY! I made them walk two steps to get behind me. So then in loud voices so everyone could hear. I was being a rude person, and a jerk. And a jerk was all I knew how to be. And I didn't know how to act while at the park.

I tell you if it wasn't for the fact that the line was already moving and I had to watch the child in front of me to make sure I didn't run her over, I would have gladly told them that I treat people the way they treat me!

A couple of years ago my husband and I took a group of teens up to Night of Joy. We had just gotten there and done only 1 ride when one of the girls(about 17 or 18) started to feel poorly. Some of the other girls informed me that this happens all the time because she doesn't eat or drink properly, so as soon as the heat set it, she didn't feel well. My husband and I sat with her and tried to get her to eat and drink something for over an hour. She decided that she wanted to try and go do some things(all the while I kept suggesting that she go to first aid and rest in the ac, she wouldn't listen to me.). Anyway, while walking through Tomorrowland all of the sudden she leaned her whole head into a trash can and vomitted. (all I can think about now, is what if that had been the talking trashcan) Then she felt a little better, well that worst was yet to come, when we were ridding Pirates of the Caribbean she leaned out of the boat and vomitted in the water several times. To this day I still can't ride that ride without thinking about that. After all this she STILL wouldn't go to first aid....

 

[ekmdisney]

I am suprised that you were not meet by a CM at the unloading area to take her to the first aid. Because you know they saw it all on their monitors.

Hi everyone! I just returned from a lovely WDW trip. Yesteday the weather was beautiful and the crowds were very small.

My DH and I were going into PhilharMagic....there was NO line at all. Anyway, someone was just ahead of us and she complained - bitterly - about having to WALK through the empty line area. She said, "I can't believe they're making us walk through all this $*^#@% to get to the ride". The entire time, she was complaining, not even tempering her voice, she was dragging her child by the arm.

If it was me, I'd have said "Wow, I can't believe we're walking through this instead of waiting in long lines - how cool!".

I guess some people you just can't make happy. Me, I was thrilled. The longest line we encountered was about 8 minutes at Splash Mountain and that was because it was the heat of the day! We walked right on ALL the other rides!

The worst thing I ever saw was at Epcot. I was there for the F&WF right as it opened. Had my appetite ready to go! Then I see this older woman leaning over one of the rails throwing up on the flowers. There went my appetite. There was a trash can right next to her. And her husband didn't know what to do to help her. I know sickness can't always wait, but why the poor flowers!

 

[3DisneyNUTS]

man alive what a thing to complain about LOL She should have been thankful like you said

 

[greendoor678]

I've seen and heard (read below) a few amusingly shocking things while vacationing at WDW. However, I don't think my experiences are as 'bad' as some of the others on here.

On my first trip to Orlando at about age 7, my family went to a local water park (perhaps Wet N Wild?) and I was boarding a small water slide and there was 'poo' on the top of the slide. One of the kids had an accident...but I couldn't stand it and I exited the slide and didn't ride it.
I've always remembered that, and I'm 28 now!


My parents were visiting AK and they witnessed a large woman who had removed her shirt and was only wearing her bra on top. Apparantly the bra was old, worn and stained and could in no way be mistaken for a bathing suit top. My mom told a cast member but a man in a black suit appeared at that time to advise the woman to put her top back on.
The woman's husband didn't seem to care what was going on.

A couple of years ago, my mom and I were sitting on the pavement waiting for Illuminations to begin. An young woman was also waiting with her SO and were seated near us. He left for a few minutes and while he was gone she literally raised up her rear and farted.
Hey, everyone has accidents and moments, but this seemed as though she were waiting for him to leave so she could rip loose with her gas and we were unfortunate enough to be there when it happened.


The next incident also happened at Epcot.
My mom and I were walking behind my dad in the large crowd as Epcot was closing and we were making our way to the front of the park. My mom noticed something on the back of my dad's shirt. Some how, and we are uncertain when or where it happened, but poor Dad had feces smeared on the back of his shirt.
It was brown, and certainly not chocolate, so my dad quickly went to a restroom and either washed it off or bought a new shirt. I can't remember much else because my mom and I were laughing so hard that we were crying. (we are like silly little girls sometimes....)

Anyways, these would probably be considered more amusing Disney moments. I'm going back in 2 weeks....hope nothing else crazy happens!

bye

Just a note of caution regarding sitting on the pavement when it is dark - when we were there this past April we were also waiting for Illuminations to start. The people next to us were sitting down. My brother happened to glance down & saw a HUGE palmetto bug crawl underneath the side of the woman's leg & then reappear & proceed to crawl behind her towards her male companion. YUCK, YUCK, YUCK
