About ten years ago I went to Disneyland with my father and his girlfriend. The girlfriend and I went on POC and on the way down the first hill the front of the boat submerged and a large wave washed over us. That had never happened before! We were soaked, absolutely drenched.

When we got off the ride, the CM was surprised to see how wet we were. We asked for a place to dry off and she called guest relations. A CM from guest relations showed up and took us through the backlot of DL and to the entrance of Main Street USA. He said that we had to wait for a few minutes for an escort to the nurses' station, located just across from us. After a couple of minutes, we set out to cross Main Street USA. Suddenly I noticed that we were surrounded by several people in regular streetwear. They were undercover security and they shielded us from the other guests. It was fascinating.

At the nurses' station, Disney offered to wash and dry our clothes, which they promised would take only a half hour. It took three hours! In the meantime, we were left in the capable hands of Nurse Ratched. She was so rude and mean it was unbelievable. When we explained what happened on POC and why we were at her station, she replied, "This is a hospital for sick people!" Nurse Ratched gave the girlfriend and I robes to wear. Dad's girlfriend is heavyset so the robe that she had was insufficient to cover her. When she politely explained this, Nurse Ratched stared at her and said, "Well then I guess you will just have to wear another robe backwards, won't you." Outraegous!

After our three hours under the condenscending gaze of Nurse Ratched, the guest relations CM magically appeared with our clothes and line passes to Space Mountain. The rest of the visit was a disaster. Spalsh Mountain broke down while I was at the top of the hill and I had to be evacuated. Dad's girlfriend tripped over some uneven pavement and hurt her ankle.

The next day the girlfriend called Disneyland and explained what had happened. She had taken notes during the visit, so she had Nurse Ratched's name, the location of the uneven pavement, and the time of the Splash Mountain break down. Disney responded quickly with an apologetic letter and three passes for our next visit.

Oh, LukenDC . . . what an ordeal! Sounds like, to me, that you were a Griswold family vacation all over again! At least Disney sent you some passes! Wow!

Boy this thread is interesting. My story does not compare but here goes.
This last Nov. we had gone over to VWL to check them out and we were taking the boat back to the MK. As the boat was unloading, there was this lady getting off and yelling that WDW should ban strollers. She was upset because there were so many on the boat she was unable to get a good seat. I looked at the CM holding the rope and shrugged my sholders and he says he hears stuff like that all day long..smjj

 

[minijeanie]

okay for all the many times I have been to WDW,

I still hate crying babies and kids.

parents get it...if your kids are crying, get them out of the show or the restaurant.

hey, I have 2 kids & I would never allow this
they would be removed after 30 seconds.

it is a shame so many parents are so selfish to see this

I bit my tongue gnawing on a jawbreaker.

This was probably shocking to some, I personaly found it somewhat amusing.

We were leave PI late one night a few years back. We were waiting at the bus stop and there was a group of 10 or so "twenty something" people who had apparently been enjoying the nightclubs. They were a little rowdy but nothing out of line for that late of hour and the place they were leaving. Disney must have been doing some trials for a new bus or just does not have many of that type of bus that pulled up(it was the first time I had ever seen it in 12 visits). It was basically a semi tractor pulling a bus trailer. Anyway, apparently the group of "twenty something" people were very excited to get to ride this thing because one of the guys yelled out "Oh boy, we get to ride in the cattle trailer". That statement was followed up with one of the females yelling "Well scrap my a** and load me up"

Bumping up because this thread is too good to be hiding all the way back on page 10!

 

[mitros]

Thanks! Your thoughts on this matter are shared by a lot of us here!

BUMP! Keep'em comin! This thread is too funny!

 

[Missy1961]

I was almost disappointed--nothing shocking happened on my last trip!

 

[BonnieA]

OK, not too shocking but I'll add it to the thread to keep it going...
We were at the inspection table before entering Epcot. This couple on the other side of the table were getting their backpack inspected. The guard pulls out two pair of bug eyes (3d glasses from ITTBAB) these people had stolen. The guard (without mentioning a word) put them both on his head, gave the backpack back to the owners and told them to proceed.
So lesson learned, if you are going to be stupid enough to steal stuff try to remember to get rid of the evidence before going thru the inspection.

It's always shocking to me the amount of crap people bring with them to the parks. Here is a picture of my wife and I in full park gear...

Bump!!!

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

Ahhh my old post. Thanks for the bump up.

 

[Tricia1]

Oh My! It's taken me weeks to get through this post and I really enjoyed it!!

My shocking story...
I was sitting on a bench next to a lady with a 6 week old baby. The baby was throwing up (not just spitting up, but really throwing up a lot!) and was very, very sun burned and had started developing little blisters. I was talking to the lady and commented on the baby and the mom said "I forgot the sunscreen". Uh duh then, get the baby OUT OF THE SUN!

We're going in a few weeks and I'll be sure to keep my eyes open for more shockers!

 

[musicalSaranader]

Oh my!! I hope that poor baby is alright!

 

[epcotfan]

That poor baby. The mother is a....stopping myself now before I say something bad. Sounds like that little baby had heat stroke symptoms. Sunscreen will not prevent that. A baby that young shouldn't be toted around in the hot sun like that. Unbelieveable.
