Most Embarrasing Moment on a Ride

[Mickey1122]

On Splash Mountain, we all decided to duck during the plunge. (We were in the front) Everyone behind us got more drenched than they could ever have imagined. We were kind of embarrassed because of the glares during that long stretch before you get off.

This one isn't at a ride, but a parade. It was year and years ago, and the parade had a spitting camel. (spitting water, of course) Would you believe that rotten camel spat directly at the lens of the camera? If I remember correctly, Disney was very sorry and did something to make it up to us, but it was embarassing.

On the TL lazy river, we lost sunglasses, and went around asking lifeguards if they had been found. As we walked away, they looked at us likle we were crazy to think we would ever find them.

Now THE MOST embarrassing thing happened at the Fountain View Bakery. We were alone save a middle aged couple and one of their mothers. We were seated in the corner table on the porch, which is one of the best spots to see the show. As it stated, the wife got up and posed for a lengthy photoshoot by her husband. He happened to position his captain's quarters right infront of us, completely bobbing up and down. He was bobbing up and down, making it worse. As a joke, my father whispered, "Ay-ay-ay. Doesn't that clown know that his butt is in the way!?" The man wasn't supposed to hear, but he did, and he turned scarlet. Scarlet! He was even more embarrassed than us.

Okay I'll share mine, my story is different as I was actually acting dumb and got caught doing it. We decided we'd go play Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for the 3rd time that day, it was hot out, so we got there super early to get out of the heat so since we were one of the first 10 people they gave us both passes to sit on the floor and not in the stands with everyone else. So the show starts and we go walking in and find our priority seats and silently make fun of everyone else who is packed into the stands, well I soon discover that my priority seat on the floor puts me in direct line of the camera when the show host is shown. So after a couple of minutes of asking the person in the "Hot Seat" questions I started leaning around the Host and making dumb faces at the camera...which everyone could see of course, not soon after that I had a CM come to me and ask that I please not do that, as it was being taped. I felt dumb but it was funny

Not a Disney ride, but. When I yelled "oh o/xi?"! On the mummy ride in universal. My son was so emaressed and so was I. When I ride it again. I will make sure I keep my mouth closed.

Well, it wasn't on a ride but I could have crawled under a rock.....My then 4 yr old DS ran up to Nemo outside the living seas Pavillion, and I asked him to stand next to him while I took a picture, he cuddled up next to him but my camera wouldn't switch on, as I was fiddling with the camera I looked up in time to hear a loud thump, a cast member say "we don't hit" and my son slugging Nemo in the cheek. He said "he hit me first mom!!!" apparently his little fin had been hitting ds in the back as he was standing there...................

another time, more recently my ds then 18 mons was in awe when we saw pooh. we put him down so he could run up to him, screaming "POOH", holding his hands out......he was handing "pooh" to "pooh" straight from the factory if you know what I mean..........we got politely removed......................augagggggggh

I was with my mother in law, who the day before had gone to the salon. She took an umbrella, in oct. Claiming, if it started raining she would not let her hair get wet. So we make our way to splash mountain. We load into the boat, she is behind me, and she says I am pretty scared. I turn around to see her with a shower cap pulled over her head. I was so embarresed. Her sitting there with that silly shower cap on her head. She never even got wet.

DH and I were on the Haunted Mansion and were just getting in our "doom buggy" and I was on the inside part of the seat and all a sudden before it you get into the ride a CM comes over to my side and stuck his head in and said BOO!!!!! I let out a scream as I did not expect anyone there and he was on the opposite side (not on the moving platform when you get on).....my DH still laughs about that.

During my solo trip a few years ago, the park was so empty I practically had it to myself. All the rides had no waits and the HM was no exception. There were maybe 25 people in the stretching room. When the door opened the CM that was loading the doombuggies was motioning to us, but waving his hand TOWARDS him instead of AWAY from him. In what I can only describe as a complete and utter Disney induced brain fart, I interpreted this as "Come directly towards me" instead of "Go around." So I started to duck under the rope. Of course he says "Ma'am, please don't do that it as it sets a bad example for other guests." Oh dear. Now not only did I almost break a cardinal Disney rule, I was being called "ma'am" at 25. I swear I am not a line cutter nor do I ever duck under any ropes anywhere. I was so embarrased that I sat low in my doombuggie and couldn't enjoy the ride. I still turn red thinking of it.

Same thing happened to us and dh couldn't stop laughing the whole way round.

I had to ride by myself as DH and I were doing baby swap with DD5. I sat between a young boy and his mother. Unfortunately, the first drop took me by total surprise and instead of grabbing the handrail I grabbed this poor boy's arm. Twice. I was really embarrassed, but the mom and the boy were OK about it, even laughed. We should have just switched seats earlier...not sure why we didn't.

DH rode TOT next......he says someone on the ride shall we say, POOHed themselves...either a small boy or his mother....really gross. He said the smell was unmistakable. Now that's embarassing.

Oh definitely embarrassing! It's the source of one of my tags. I decided one morning that I really wanted to ride Cinderella's Golden Carousel. Yes, a 50+ yo, rather weak-kneed (OK, so I'm not the most athletic) woman. For some reason, the horse I picked was one of the highest-up horses on the carousel. Well, there I stood, struggling to haul myself up, which took several minutes. At one point, I looked sheepishly at the CM who was going to start the ride. I won't say she was laughing at me, but she did have one of the biggest smiles I've ever seen.

Not on an attraction, My ds was 3 at the time and really liked Tigger alot, we were at DL and he saw Tigger, as I was getting the camera ready to take a picture of him and Tigger I looked up and saw my ds pulling up and down on Tiggers tail. I felt so bad that I decided not to a picture just tried to exit out of the area as soon as possible.

The first time I put my DD on RnR I was petrified she would fall out - Just another crazy Mom moment. So, I tightened the bar on her so much that she was almost in tears telling me it was too tight. I asked a CM to adjust it, and he said "Ma'am I would have to shut the ride down to do that!" Of course there were quite a few "dirty looks" from other riders so I told him to go ahead and start the ride. Worse than that, the same year we went to Sea World and waited in line to ride the Kraken. The longer we were in line the more panicked I became. By the time we were ready to get on the ride, I was really freaked out and wouldn't let my DD get on. Luckily the line was short, and my DH took her. Sadly he hates coasters and I love them. It was just my year to be neurotic! She's 12 now and I'm fine with coasters for her - now I need to adjust for my DS8!

I can just picture my MIL doing this!

Oops. I did the same thing at BB!

I must have looked like a complete and utter tool...

I cannot handle thrill rides, don’t mind the speed but the drops just kill me. My Dh and DBIL convinced me to ride Malestrom, lets just say I was soooo not happy with them, they were rather happy with themselves. There is a rather small drop that I did not know about and I let out a horrendous scream. All the people on the ride with just thought this as so funny because it was such a small drop. I apologize to anyone that was on Malestrom the week before Easter this year. LOL

NEVER and I mean NEVER wear a two piece on the Summit Plummit at BB! I should have taken a hint when I noticed that the pool area at the end was surrounded by pubescent boys!
At least I haven't seen myself on the internet...yet!

We saw that happen once (DD came VERY close) and we talked to the life guard and asked him if he liked his job. His response was "Yes sir, very much." Happens all the time I guess.

Last year on our trip - first day - first ride. We're run-walking to Space Mountain and we're all excited because this is our 1st ride!!!! I start walking through the queue and miss a step and go down hard and scraped my knee really bad. My family didn't know whether to laugh or not - I think they did. I tried hard not to swear (hopefully I didn't) and debated what to do. I dusted myself off and rode SM. When we got off I put on some band-aids though. Luckily it was just a scrape and the rest of the day went off without a hitch.

This is terrible. My mother is extremely overweight. My family including my moher, DH, DD and myself were going through the turnstyle at Pirates of the Carribbean. My DH, DD and myself were in front of mother. DH, DD and I had gone through the turnstyle and had walked about a minute in line through the dark hall of the ride when we realized Mom was not with us. We went back and found that she had literally gotten stuck in the turnstyle . I was so embarrassed for her. She was so humiliated. I later wrote a letter complaining to Disney about the fact that those turnstyles at POTC have much tighter squeeze than the ones at the other rides. Disney replied saying that a CM could have opened the handicap gate for her. I told Disney that no CM offered to do that and that really my mother had no problems with any other turnstyle at MK or any of the other park. I asked that Disney please take a look at their turnstyles so that no other person has to go through that humiliating experience. I don't no if anything was done to replace those turnstyles. This happened about 10 years ago. My mother has never been back since. I know she felt very bad about the incident.
