Have you ever had a shock?

[phamton]

Quick question...

Isn't there a website/message board where cast members write about shocking behavior they've seen from guests? Does anyone have the link?

MickeyMouseGal here is the only CM forum I have in my bookmarks. I'm sure there are others.

I have a couple...

First my own Ds shocked DH and I. We were in MK and DS had just started potty training. Well he never said a word to us just pulled his pants down and peed on the ground right outside of Ariel's Grotto(sp?) I was so humiliated!! All I could do was grab him pull his pants up and run! Very embarrassed.

Second was this past May we were sitting in front of the Castle holding our parade spot and just as the parade was about to begin a man walk up tells his children to sit in front of DH and I and then he proceeded to walk back across from us/them to the otherside behind all the other people standing up. I did not care that they were in front of us, I was just wondering how he would find them after the parade when the crowd dispursed. These were young children maybe 3 or 4?? Another lady beside us told a CM and he made the children go join there father. I have no idea what he was thinking. Anyone could have walked off with his children.

Okay... so.. a few shocking moments for me this past trip.. and I have to say both were at Typhoon lagoon.. a place I had NEVER been to until this past trip! (Very enjoyable btw!!)... Okay.. Not so nice shocker.. Going to the Kowabunga slide.. as I was walking up the steps, I reach just shy of the top when the line slows down to the few people actually waiting to step onto the slide when i see passing me on the way down a man and a very small little girl... the man (obviously the little girl's father.. and i use that term loosely) is berating this poor child... yelling at her over and over for not "standing up tall enough" to pass the line marker to ride this pretty steep slide.... Now, mind you.. this girl was tiny.. very thin and not so tall.. if she was 5 years old i would be shocked. Here he is just so disgusted with her for not "standing on her tippy toes" and yes.. that is what he said... this little girl was walking back down the stairs with her shoulder hunched and this very sad little face... I took my turn on the slide and when I exited who is right behind me on the way up the stairs for the next water slide I was heading for?? You guessed it.. this Man.. and I use that term loosely also!! He is STILL yelling at this little girl... calling her all sorts of names.. and just being basically horrible... well.. i have had it... and I turn around and I tell him ..."Would you PLEASE stop yelling at that poor child" What is wrong with you... Is this what you want your child to remember? What kind of father are you?? There are height requirements for a reason... etc... etc.. and I thought perhaps pointing out to him his horrendous behaviour would make him stop.. but Nope.. he just responded to me with some idiotic response .. real adult of him... and I just couldn't shake that poor little girl's sad face out of my mind...

The other shocking thing I saw.. was actually more of a funny thing... While at Typhoon Lagoon... I was in my lounge chair by the wave pool.. when a sudden rain storm occurred... and out of the wave pool comes a family who proceed to head to their lounge chairs and whip out their rain ponchos.. put them on.. and sit on their chairs... I was so shocked I actually had to take a picture! I mean.. it's raining.. yeah.. but you are already wet????!!!! LOL!!! It was one of the funniest moments of my trip!

I was at Disneyland yesterday and saw something that shocked me. I have seen much more shocking things over the years, but this just made me shake my head and laugh. The sweetpea and I had just walked down main street and were getting a corndog near the hub. I take a glance around (i tend to people watch when im in line). I look towards the benches near the pop corn cart and see a woman wearing a long flowy skirt. Its one of those peasant skirts, all light and airy. Im sure she was very comfortable. Her outfit wasn't too out of place and the color of the skirt was very nice. A very light peachy color. But before heading out for a day at the park she should have given the outfit another look in the mirror with some light behind her. Standing there on main street, her skirt was totally see through. Not just a little, im talking right through. You could see the outline of her legs and everything. Im not really gonna question her choice to wear the skirt. Maybe she was comfortable in the skirt. It looks like she was and it probably kept her cool on the hot day. And just maybe it didn't bother her that you could see through it anyways. I am gonna question her decision to not wear underwear though. What in the world was she thinking??? Who would want to do a day at the park without their underwear? I never understood that. Gives a whole new meaning to the term "park commando" now doesn't it.

That must have been a sight to see!

This august, on our trip to WDW my husband got up and put on a pair of scuzzy gym shorts and a beer T-shirt to wear to AK. I told him I did't care for his choice of attire, and coaxed him into khaki shorts and a golf polo shirt.

Later on, at the park DH pointed out a shabbily attired guy to me, and mentioned his wife wasn't so picky. Then this guy turned around and we saw his trucker hat, upon which was written: "**************". I almost fainted.

Deide, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!

THAT has got to be the funniest thing I have EVER heard Diede. I can't stop laughing. The SADDEST part of this story? If my husband had seen that hat in a store he would have been ALL OVER IT.

I've seen this happen in the front row of the Festival of the Lion King show. I really think this is a private moment that doesn't need to be shared with 24 cast and crew members and over a thousand guests.

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe the BABY decided to pick that moment to be hungry????

I'm sure the baby wouldn't have died of starvation to wait the 90 seconds until the person found a spot a bit more private. It's just common courtesy.

N.E.D.

I have one that didn't happen at Disney but at the parking lot of my local grocery store. I pulled in behind another car, got out and started to walk in the store. A mother approached her car with a baby and a toddler and laid the baby down in the back of the SUV I was parked behind. I asked her if she had enough room to get in and do what she had to do. She nicely replied yes, I'm fine and I left. Well when I came out her car was gone and right in front of my car on the ground was a "poo" diaper. She changed the baby in the back of the car and left the diaper on the ground not even folded up tight. Just left open for all the world to see! That's gross! I was floored! I always had plastic bags (even the ones from the stores) just to put the diaper in and throw it in the garbage or if I couldn't find one I took it with me! That's just awful! I wish i stayed because I would have said something to her. YUCK!

Boy, That reminds me of something that happened when we were camping in Portugal. It was a truly international gathering with people from all over the world. After cooking dinner one night I went to the communal washing up place - a long trough with faucets so people could could wash dishes there. There were a bunch of us there and one Spanish woman had her toddler with her. The child relieved himself and the smell of the diaper was pretty strong. After getting a few looks from a couple of the other women, the mother opened the diaper and shook the stool out on the ground - right where we were washing our dishes! Someone said something to her and a number of us were giving her looks - and pointing to the stool as we didn't speak her language. She just glared back at us and kicked dirt over the stool and stalked away. I couldn't believe it. this was a number of years ago, but I still remember it as clear as day. Unbelievable!

Well, I have to say, that attitude is pretty much the most shocking thing on this whole thread.

I do not intend to get drawn into this debate one more time, but I feel like I have to speak up - again.

Breastfeeding does NOT need to be done in private. It needs to be done anywhere a mommy happens to be when her child gets hungry. It's nothing shameful or private. It's a baby eating. And, she does not need hide away or cover up with a blanket or anything like that.

A woman's right to feed her child any time any place that she and her child are allowed legally to be is, in fact, protected by law in the state of Florida - and in most others.

I can tell you that I've been on three trips to Disney World as a nursing mom. I've nursed all over the place - park benches, rides, shows, restaurants, monorails, boats, sitting on curbs waiting for the parade, etc. In fact, just about the only place I've never nursed is in the baby care centers, since we were never near them when Paul needed to nurse. So, yeah, if we had been sitting in the first row of the Lion King and Paul had decided he needed milk, then I would have nursed him right there without giving it a second thought.

I've never had any problems or wierd looks or anything. Most people seem to take it for what it is - a baby having milk - and just keep going on about their business.

If you've been there at any of the same times as us over the past two years, you may have seen us nursing our way around the world - but chances are you never even noticed it. No hiding, no covering up with anything - just a mom feeding her baby in a totally normal sort of way.



Now back to your regularly scheduled discussion of the most thing you ever saw at Disney World.

Thanks!

I got so caught up in my defense of public breastfeeding that I forgot to tell my own most shocking story!

My DH and I were at Mickey's Halloween Party a few years back - before Paul was born. We were waiting in line to have our picture taken with Mickey. He was dressed as a scarecrow, including some ragged looking jeans with a rope belt tied around his waist. It was very cute. Well, just as it was our turn and we were stepping up to meet the mouse . . . . HIS PANTS FELL DOWN!

I am not kidding! Mickey's pants were down around his ankes!! He was trying to get them back up, but he wasn't having any luck with those big old hands of his, and his poor handler was desperately trying to help - but they were both just sort of fumbling around. It was quite a scene!

Finally, they managed to jerk Mickey's pants up and the handler ushered him off through a backstage door, promising he would return momentarily. Sure enough, a few minutes later, Mickey was back with his pants in place.

So, DH and I are two of only a handful of people who know what the head cheese wears (or doesn't wear) under his clothes!
