How have your kids embarrassed you at WDW?

My son was potty training at the time. I think he was about 3 and my husband had told him that it's okay to use trees as a potty. LOL!! So, of course my very smart 3 year old took it to heart and remembered it.

We were at Downtown Disney and I was looking at the pearl exhibit. Well, I turned around and my son had pulled down him pants and was using the bushes as a potty. I turned about 50 shades of red and looked at my husband and said, "He's yours."

Then I laughed and walked away.....

My DD was 4 on our first trip. When the plane landed, I said, "We're in Florida!" She looked out of the window and started shouting "No! This is the wrong Florida! I want to go to the right Florida, right now!" over and over. Everyone in the vicinity was looking at her with confused looks on their faces. I finally realized that she was expecting the plane to land in the middle of Disney. I don't know if she expected to see Mickey out the window, or what. I said, "We're not in Disney World yet. We still have to drive there." She said, "Oh, OK." and got up and preceded off of the plane.

One year, my DS (middle child) could not stand to do anything. No attractions, no meals, nothing would make him happy, and he let us all know his displeasure (family and others included).. Halfway through the trip, I vowed that this was the last Disney trip ever, serious enough that I started proceedings to sell off our DVC membership. Finally, on the last day, he was a different person, like someone turned a switch and my DS was back to his happy self. To this day, before we leave for vacation, he gets reminded of his actions. Now he's old enough that i'll simply put him on a plane and send him home.

The one that comes to mind was actually on a Disney Cruise. I took my daughters ages 2 and 5 for the afternoon so my wife could go to the spa. I really wanted to watch Pirates of the Caribbean which was showing onboard in the movie theater. I got there early with them and sat right in the middle of the middle row. Great seats, but soon realized we were blocked in. The rows are much closer than in a standard theater due to space restrictions I suppose, so everyone's knees are literally touching the seat in front of you. Anyway, both girls are great and kind of mesmerized by the movie, until about 15 minutes from the end. My 2yo announces that she has "pooped." "I pooped, I pooped." Over and over. Well, I really wanted to see the ending and we were blocked in anyway. Didn't smell too bad, so I get her quieted down. And I'm back into the movie when she sticks her hand in my face and I realize she's holding something. She had reached down into her diaper, and I'm too into the movie to know what she's doing until it's too late, and she has a handful. Yeah, of that. I immediately grab her hand and try to hold her In one arm and the hand with it with the other, trying to keep it away from me and her both. And every single person is having to stand up and let us pass by with my 5yo in tow as the movie approaches it's climactic ending. Anyway, I did what any good dad would do. Rushed her into the restroom outside the theater, washed her down in the sink, and ran back into the rear of the theater to catch the end of the movie. Best. Dad. Ever.

My fully potty trained 3yo was having too much fun playing in the toddler pool area at Pop, that she forgot to tell me in time that she needed to potty. She runs over and says it's an emergency. My husband had ran back to our room for something, so I grab my 18 month old, grab the 3yo's hand and head to the potty. We didn't make it. I'm still not sure when it happened or how many people saw it

I'm going to have to tell a story about my cousin here...

When she was 5, she was acting out at Epcot. She refused to walk around. We had to give in and get a stroller. She still was pouty. Then, Grandpa pulled a great one out of nowhere.

"I just saw the dwarves walk by, but only six of them were there. One of them was missing, and it was Grumpy. Grumpy is sitting in the stroller."

My cousin wasn't amused, but I started cracking up. The irony of it is that she dressed up as Grumpy for Halloween many years later!!!

Evidently she also sent my uncle on a chase around one of the All Star resorts that same year. She was always a source of embarrassment as a kid, even at Disney...but grew up to be in the Disney College Program and is now a rising college senior with a good future ahead of her!!

If your kids weren't asked to leave the park and told they'd be banned if security had to be called, your kids are better behaved than my brother was on our first trip. It's... still not a funny story. I hope to reclaim Mickey bars as a happy thing on the next trip!

My husband was trying to get as much Dole Whip as possible into the cup back when the Poly had the "Do it yourself" station. Of course, he went too far and it all went down on the floor on the way to the register. My two year old looks at him - looks at the floor - then exclaims in the loudest voice possible, "Daddy made a mess!". I pretended to not be related to them.
