Have you ever had a shock?

[huey duey & luey]

thanks. I made sure to point out to the couple that if screaming kids were a problem they should probably pick another vacation destination

One day we were sitting on a bench waiting in front of the old Art of Disney Store for our Family Magic Tour to start and some women walks by us dragging her kid and says "excuse me" as she yanks her child by the arm to the side of the building beat her child and walked back to the stroller and threw the child back into it. I was so shocked as were my kids. This was the beginning of our Family Magic Tour. It did put a bit of a damper on it.

lol I survived 63 pages!!!!!

Some of these stories!!

My mom and I had been meandering thru the trail at the Canada pavillion making our way to the theater- there was a couple with two sleeping twins in a stroller along with us and this other older couple. Now let me first say that I am a heavy person myself and I am not going to describe this man to you all to make fun of his size - merely his particular actions. The older couple were very pleasant looking folks, lots of smiles and laughing - looking like they were really enjoying the park. However - the husband of the couple was a big, big man, and he had an absolutely enormous beer belly that he kept rubbing and rubbing as he went along. He kept saying to his wife that his stomach was killing him and she had whipped out some pepto that he was swigging.

Fast forward a bit and we are all in the theater, just the three little groups. The girl comes in and gives her talk then starts the show. Just as the lights went down there was a brief moment of silence that didn't remain silent as the theater was filled with a very loud, sustained blast of someone breaking wind - the next thing we hear is the wife saying "you jack### - stay there and enjoy your own stench" with the sound of her moving around and then the man said to all of us "sorry everyone, I don't think lunch agreed with me"

The theater smelled like something died in it - it was awful. lol

I can't believe I made it through the whole thing! This has kept me entertained for days. I have a few of my own! Before I begin let me say I love Disney and it will always be magical but wow!
On our honeymoon trip we did the land/sea deal. We were at the MK and decided to head back to the BC for the evening. We went to wait for a bus back to the BC. Finally one arrived(we had never waited that long) and it was designated to go where we were looking for. We boarded the bus and waited....and waited....and waited.....finally we asked the bus driver if we would be going....no answer...finally my dh, who has very little patience to begin with, says well lets get out and check to make sure we are on the right bus. No sooner do we step off the bus, the driver closes the doors and drives away in an empty bus leaving us in shock.
so we shake it off and enjoy the rest of our land portion. On the first day of the cruise this woman and her 7or 8 year old son are sitting by the pool. I'm not sure what exactly the child did but the woman smacked this child so hard across the head that we heard the slap across the deck.
On the next day we went to Nassau we were walking off the ship and into town. There is this large covered structure that you walk through entering the town....A man was carrying his son on his shoulders. This child hit his head off of the ceiling of the structure and knocked him off his fathers shoulders. The poor kid was totally dazed.
By the way FYI dried blood is still a health concern, some contagions can live in it for years. All bodily fluids should be approached cautiously.

Oh CynJ...you just made me laugh RIGHT OUT LOUD, and I'm all by myself. The visual of that was absolutely hysterical!!!!! omg. So funny.

I am loving this entire thread!!!!

Ok two shocks one not funny actually sad. We were at fantasmic for the first time ever and a little boy 2 rows back threw up everywhere. It started with coughing and went into dry heaves then vomitting The shock was they stayed to watch the show poor kid

Second we were at the bathroom around the corner from the new stitch ride and there is a round planter with a bench made out of concrete right in front of the bathrooms so you can sit an wait. Well a child about 3 was pulling out all of the newly planted baby plants and just plopping them back down. Mom and dad were preoccupied with the sibling but Grandma who was in her 60-70s brought it to mom's attention. The Mom said "He didn't do that!" in a condesending manner to the gma. So I spoke up and said "actually he has been pulling out all of them about 10 at least." So as I said that he starts again and she yells at him. My Dh had come from the bathroom so I did the switch DS was sleeping in the stroller. After I came out I would have figured they would have replanted them in the holes they were plucked from. NOPE the family was gone and all the plants were uprooted. I told a cast member and they were oing to call the appropriate people to fix it. Poor plants.

LAst "shock" was how freakin busy it was the days before Thanksgiving especially the wed before and thanksgiving day! OMG it was nuts. All the more reason we will be one of THOSE families that pulls their children out of school for vacations.

Okay, so there we (my wife and I) were, just sitting at the umbrella tables outside of the Downtown Disney McDonalds, drinking our lemonade, and trying to stay out of the rain. I'm doing a little people watching, scanning the crowd, having a perfectly nice time, and I see... something.

"Don't look now, but look over there," I whisper to my wife.

"Oh, my goodness, that's horrible! Does her mother know she's dressed like that?" A pause, and she says, "Quick! Take a picture!"

"What?" I reply. "Are you crazy? No way!"

"Seriously. Quick. Now."

Well, long story longer... I did it. I pretended to take a picture of the gulls carrying off french fries, but I captured the moment nonetheless.

Here it is... our shocking moment at Disney World:

I hate to be rude, lady, but please... pull those pants up.

Rude guy,

My most shocking Disney memory happened at MGM. My husband who is super shy shocked me twice in one day. 1st there were street actors who were telling people not to drink the water. My dh was watching and listening from afar. I was tending to my son not paying any attention. My dh said he'll be right back. He excused himself through the crowd, went up to the water fountain. Took a drink, let out a yelp, and fell totally still to the ground. The actors weren't sure what was going on at 1st and the people were laughing thinking he was part of the act. He couldn't keep a straight face very long. He started to laught and said he just had to do it. Everyone laughed, and I was opened jawed, that my shy husband would actually do that in front of all those people.
The 2nd thing he did was volunteer to be Al in the Tim the toolman segment.
---My most recent shock was at the food court of PORS on Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. The line for hamburgers was haulted completely as the CMs argued over howmany toothpicks to put in a bacon cheeseburger. After 10 minutes, they realized the line had grown really long and asked if anybody had been helped. Nope, nobody helped, just standing in line thinking who cares how many toothpicks, just make the burger all ready!

OMG, lovethattink - that is hysterical (the one about your husband)! I think it's great the way people loose their inhibitions in WDW. I'm very quiet too, but I've never done anything like that! (Well, okay, so I've flashed my undies a time or two - but that's as far as I go! )

Now this isn't really 'shocking' like some of the others but it did make me laugh. My sister and I were in MK and this family walks past us with this boy about 8 or so screaming 'THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!' My sister and I looked at each other and both of us said almost simultaneaously 'I want to be that kid!!!'

This one happened just this past Friday morning on the Monorail. Not too terribly shocking, but the most shocking thing of a GREAT trip, none the less. We were getting on at the Grand Floridian after touring the Christmas Decorations. We were second in line for the Monorail when it pulls up. Just as I approach the CM to ask if we could ride in front (dh, ds 8, dd 6, dd 4), this couple with a stroller barges through the stroller gate and interrupts us and gets the front car. We were not happy but did not make a scene. When we stopped at MK, we got off and watched. They also got off, it was a woman, man, a child about 18 months old and an infant in a infant seat. Now call me crazy, but neither one of those kids could have possibly appreciated the front car, so basically that couple barged their way in front of three little kids who really wanted to ride up front. And since we weren't staying at the resorts on the monorail, it was their only chance.

That was the only shocking thing we experienced in 9 days! Gotta love THAT!

BUMP

but it made us so mad. It's shocking because it has to do with a CM with a very bad attitude, something you don't usually encounter. We stopped by the American pavillion and went inside to hear Voices of Liberty. We had already seen the American Adventure so after the singing we wanted to leave. It was quite crowded and we couldn't figure out how to get out of there. So, we asked a CM where we could exit and she very rudely said "The same way you came in." Not in a nice way, she said it with a cutting, smart alec "you're a dumb ***" edge to it. You know what I mean. So very un-Disney. We walked away and then my husband decided she shouldn't get away with it. So he walked up to her and said, "Let me see your nametag, I need your name." She was so scared she turned white and started stuttering, trying to say something. I think we scared her to death. We didn't report her because we figured we scared her bad enough by asking her name. She knew she was dead wrong.

My Dh and I have a theory that all the people who work at Universal are ones that got fired from Disney for not begin polite and cheerful enough!
