Have you ever had a shock?

Karen,

We didn't see you and Ken, but I sure wish that we had. I laughed so hard after seeing those pics I was wishing I had a Ken head lol! Great story!

IvyandLace,

I'm sorry to hear about your trip with your MIL! Glad to hear that you got to go back in August with your DH. I remember seeing some posts of yours before your trip with MIL and had been wondering how it went. Now I know. Anyways, it is no fun when someone takes the magic away from your Disney vacation!

zakatak - that is hysterical!

Karen, the Ken pictures are SO funny!!! Maybe I will do something like that next time I'm on vacation somewhere (preferrably WDW of course), only I will have to think of what character I'd want to use.

zakatak,
Love those Ken pictures!!

well it took me forever to read this but it was great. My jaw dropped a few times and sometimes I laughed so hard I almost pee'd my pants. (got some strange looks from others in the room). Can't wait to read more. I hope I have nothing to post here after my first visit.

pyrxtc,

A newbie? Have a fantastic time! You are going at a GREAT time of year! In 2000 I took my wife to WDW for our first trip together for our 15th anniversary. We went in early October. We absolutely loved it! You've come to the right place for all the info you need! THe DIS boards are wonderful.

for IvyAndLace You are not alone! My MIL may or may not be the devil. AND she is an exact clone of HER mother - I have 2 of them to deal with. My DH and I took my MIL to Disney, and she was well behaved, although she is a chain smoker - so we literally had to ride a ride - find a smoking zone - watch a show - find a smoking zone - get something to eat - find a smoking zone. Not to mention I'm allergic to smoke, but I'm sure that didn't bother her one bit. But when you get her alone or with her mother ... well, let's just say we helped them move to another state and have refused to talk to them since.

Well, with that said, I will add another story:

I used to work Front Desk at a Disney hotel, and was working along a very nice young man in Guest Services one day. A woman comes up with her husband and baby wanting to cancel her Hoop Dee Doo reservations for party of 23 that night . He follows protocall and phones Hoop Dee Doo, and they say they have already began cooking that nights meal - there is no way they will refund a party of 23 if they cancel. Well, the woman would have no part of that - she was cancelling and getting her money back! She starts screaming at my poor co-worker, and demanding to see a manager. He goes into the back office to find a manager, and the woman is still at the desk fuming and bad mouthing my co-worker. (Keep in mind I am trying to help other guests while this is going on so I couldn't support my co-worker here). He is still in the back office, and I guess she reached her boiling point. She proceeds to lay her baby on the desk, take off her dirty diaper, seal it up, and drop it on my co-workers work station and walk off. I know I should have said something, but I was so slack-jawed I didnt' know what to say. Some people are gross.

"slack-jawed" - you should have seen me when I read it.

I just don't get some people. She was told when she made her reservation that she had to cancel 48 hours before the show in order to get a refund. The nerve!

I'm with you on that one! I'm here still trying to get my chin off the floor. What WITCH! And I think I am being nice when I say that.

Probably the same lady who was yelling at the CM at the R&C she had been "guaranteed" a patio seat.

I am in shock reading all of these things! It took me a week but I got through them. Sometimes I burst out laughing and my dh would look at me funny .....but please! So funny!

I have been reading this thread for months and use it as my own laughing site! But when I saw the pictures of Ken I almost fell out of my chair! I showed my DH, who thought that was the greatest! We both loved the shot of Ken watching the parade!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!

You have to have a license to get married or drive a car, Heck you even need a license to catch a fish but they will let any *@#$*@ moron have a kid.

I'm a movie fanatic...the line is from the movie Parenthood, right??

Wow! I've been gone for about 3 months but I see this thread is still going strong! Good job, fellow DISers!

Because it's a great thread & I don't think anyone wants it to!!!

I've been reading this thread so long, I hope it never dies!

I've been reading this thread on and off for over a month I think and just finished it today.

I can think of 2 things right off that may qualify,

1st My family DW DD 8 and DS10 at the time were at Sea world. We were feeding all the seals in the enclosure with the herring you could buy, Everybody that threw a little short made all the sea gulls very happy. We were just getting done and a gull flew overhead and pooped and hit me right on my head, Even then I did not have much hair, it splatted loud enough that my kids turned around, my wife had this look in her eyes but she had enough sense not to laugh right then but the kids were almost rolling on the ground laughing, it ran down my face and covered my shirt. There was a hand washing sink for washing up after you fed the seals so I washed my face and head in that, then bought a new shirt to wear. I still have that SW tank top everytime I wear it my wife still makes a snide comment and then chuckles, That happen 9 yrs ago.


The other thing was we had staked out our place for the Main Street Electical parade (yup this happen a while ago) about an 1 1/2 early and waited. Just when the parade ws starting a family of 5 or 6 started to try to crowd threw us to get in front. The family next had struck up a conversation with us earlier and they just edged tighter to us, the people kept on pushing us apart saying we have children that need to see, we expalined that we did also and that we had waited there over an hour to have that spot so they could see, they kept pushing and I offered them to let there kids up front there kids were at leat 8 and 10 maybe older but they said they would not seperate, I said okay your choice. So we are standing there and my wife said somebody was touching her, her is the oldest kid a boy puttinghis hands between my wife's upper thighs trying to spread her legs so he could see threw them. My wife was wearing shorts and I was not happy, I asked him to stop. A few minutes later he was doing it again, I asked the father to please have him stop, again in a few minutes it started again. When I turned around again the father said he ws going to let the boy do whatever he needed to do to see. I told the father that if it happened again that I would not talk to the boy but me and him could excuse ourselves from the crowd and have a little chat if he would like. Now I am about 6' and 240 with not allot of extra meat on me and was not happy. He must have decided that viewing the parade at the point and time was not that important because when we turned around again they were gone.

I did not want to hurt anybodies time at WDW but man to let your son and not a toddler even touch a woman like that repeatedly is just asking for trouble.

I am sure I have more when I rmember them I will be back.
