My embarassing moment was two years ago and I still haven't gotten over it yet. This was the first time I had to be in an ECV and I wasn't used to driving it yet. The CM had me park it behind the last row of seats in "Sounds Dangerous". Three ladies were sitting directly in front of me waiting for the show to begin.

Well, I decided that I was too close to the back of the seats and hit what I thought was the reverse handle to back up. Instead, I hit the forward. I was already parked on a slant since the theatre floor sloped so I hit the back of the seats HARD.

I had a large iced tea in the front basket of the ECV. The force was so hard that the tea cup crushed and sent the tea flying in the air. Straight up-very high. It was almost as if it was in slow motion and it came down on the heads of those poor ladies who screamed loudly. They were soaked.

I apologized profusely and they were SO nice about it. The show started and I began sobbing and cried through the whole show. It was bad enough to have to be in an ECV, but all I could think about was the three of them in soaking tea stained clothes having their day ruined. When the lights came on I apologized again. Seeing how upset I was, they comforted me and made jokes. They thanked me for cooling them off on such a hot day.

I offered to buy them shirts so they could change, but they declined. I will always be grateful that they didn't beat the snuff out of me. They were totally classy.

I love embarassing stories! I lost my bikini top on Summit Plummit at BB a couple years ago. I don't think you can get much more embarrassing than that!! Needless to say I wear a one piece now

I know the fellows appreciate the show at the bottom of those slides , but I gotta wonder. why a person would wear a bikini to a water park and go on certain rides like summit plummet..isn't it logical..that a certain clothing item isn't going to survive the plummit?

Do the ladies just think they are well endowed enough it will stay in place or that they can hold it all in place? How does one decide?

I am wise enough to know, no one wants to see me in a bikini, but I have always wondered why others wear them at the water parks.

Well I can't speak for everyone, but I didn't bring a one-piece on this particular trip, and I saw plenty of girls make it down SP with no issues. Just a freak thing I guess!

Okay, so let's say we have a relative, who shall remain nameless, and this relative is...let's just say he has a short leash on my nieces, who are in our opinion old enough to walk 12 feet away to get a fresh map at the entrance of a theme park without getting yelled at for walking too far from their parents. Get my drift?? Yeah. So, we are entering Animal Kingdom a few years ago and my niece (let's say her name is Lisa) walks over to the fresh maps and we hear the expected loud scolding, "Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssaaa!!! Get back over here, right here!!!" Without missing a beat...the talking palm tree says, "um, Lisa, I think that guy over there wants you to go back over there." Ahahahahahaha!!! Vindication! He never said it to her again the rest of the trip!

I dont have one to share, but I was hoping that a story would be repeated or linked here. A few years ago someone posted about losing part of their bathing suit on one of the water slides. She was wearing a one piece, but the force of the ride stripped her down. Anyone rememeber that story or know where its at to link it? Its a classic.

i guess our embarrassing moments are more humorous than embarrassing but here goes...

when DS8 was 7mo old, we went to WDW for a short 4 day trip. While on Haunted Mansion, DS let us know it was feeding time, so under cover of darkness, DW obliged (breastfeeding)

the second story is on the same trip. we had bought a new camcorder. being the macho man i am, i didn't need to read the instructions. needless to say, when we got home, we realized that while at Epcot, i had operated the camera incorrectly. I had it off when i thought it was on and on when i thought it was off. we have some good audio of the camera on in the protective case while walking around epcot and absolutely zippo for video.

i now read instructions.

25 years ago:

I got off the teacups and aimed for the exit. I missed by 10 feet, but kept moving forward...I rolled/flipped over the bushes and railing, all the while, trying to stop the spinning in my head. I fell onto the pavement outside the teacups, on my side, and blew lunch.

I quickly came around, stood up, dusted off and went into the nearby bathroom trying to look as if I meant to do that.

I'm a 6'4" guy and was probably 18 at the time.

I've heard a lot of stories in my day, but that was awesome! Sorry about your dignity, that really stinks!

This story had me rollin!

there is a classic Trip Report from a woman who went thru this embarrassing story - Ill have to google advance to see if it still exists!

this is the nicest story!! What great people they were! Karma! (gotta say it, its so often evoked in negative stories!! what a sweet group of people)

I have a story - but its not as good as others have posted their great stories..

On our first sans kids trip - dh and I go to MK - after dh convinced me he did NOT have my entry ticket (but he always keeps my ticket!) we go thru to watch the pre show pre rope drop show - the Steam Train arrives, the characters sing - and I get my camera out, and while snapping pictures I follow dh - who ALWAYS wears a Hawaiian Shirt (think Hawkeye Pierce of Mash - early seasons) I start to say something to dh - to look lovingly in his - WAIT A FREAKIN MINUTE - "you are NOT my dh" as I turn all shades of red...

on my cell I call frantically "where are you?"

dh had gone IN THE MK W/O ME!! he knew I rushed in and pushed ahead of everyone...

after 27 years?!!

I love these posts. Keep them going.

This embarassing moment didn't technically happen to our family but we witnessed it.

Years ago the DH and I, along with our sons, were slowly strolling down Main Street as the MK was closing. A little ways in front of us was this extremely striking young lady in a pair of the shortest white shorts her father probably wouldn't have let her out of house in if he had known and on her feet was a pair of bright yellow 3 inch stiletto heels (mind boggling). To top it off she wore a skin tight leopard skin shirt, and let's just say, to quote Monty Python 'She had huge tracks of land' which were prominently on display. Also in front of us was an older gentleman in an ECV with his DW walking and talking beside him. It seems the gentleman in the ECV became distracted by the vision in front of him and the next thing you know he is no longer steering the ECV in a straight line but veers to the left and smashes into one of the trash cans on the sidewalk along the curb sending it sprawling. The gentleman’s DW at this point realizing the cause of the accident walks over to him and proceeds to whack him on the head with her plastic shopping bag filled with souvenirs.

In 2002 i went with my mom, dad and DH (then fiance) We were walking out of SM and i wanted some popcorn, well being a nice dad my father went and bought me some. My dad brings me the poporn and i walk a few feet forward and get attacked by 3 seagulls who also want my popcorn. Well as soon as all of the seagulls swoop down to get my popcorn i scream bloody murder and throw my popcorn up in the air and that attracted even more seagulls. I run away as fast as i can from the popcorn and i look around and see my DH and dad laughing at me and tons of people watching me. I was so embarrassed at the time by now i look back and its pretty funny.

Ok, I'll add mine: Not completely embarrassing to me, but mortifying to my DD16.

I brought her to Disneyland last year for her 16th bday. She is a thrill seeker and I am a show seeker. She wanted to ride California Screamin'....ugh. I HATE upside down rides, but since this was my DD's special trip, I told her I would try it. The line was 20 mins long and so for 20 mins I was watching the poeple load into the ride and take off at astronomical speed screaming their heads off. I had sweaty palms and felt sick to my stomach. We get on the ride, take off and I feel like I am gonna die. When the ride ended, it took me a minute to get my footing back. We sat outside the ride for a bit and my daughter asked to go back on it. I said ok. So we waited in line again, sweaty palms again. We get up to the car, I sit down, the bar comes down, a CM walks by to check the bar and I scream "Get me off this thing". I couldn't do it. I told my DD to stay on and enjoy the ride, but she said no and was mortified to have to take the "walk of shame" off the ride. We had to walk by people still in line to get off, and she kept her head down the whole time. I apologized profusely, but she was still embarrassed. Whew, I am sweating just thinking about it...

Thats funny i still have not rode the tea cups in 7 trips to disney

This happened at the 2006 party. We were looking forward to seeing the villians and the other not so standard characters so as soon as we hit the park that night I am armend with my camera. My youngest son was almost 3 and dressed up as Buzz. We are just barley down main street and we spot Zurg-wow I have to get a picture of them together-yes this costume was great-park quality. I naturally assume he is a cast member and usher my son over. They guy keeps explaining they won't let him take pictures with the kids-I am thinking how odd. I do manage to angle in a picture before we leave.

Long story short-he didn't work for Disney and I just didn't get it. After watching the video my husband shot of this his wife wasn't amused by me at all. Ooops.

My friend and I were trying to squirt each other with water and tripped on each other's feet and fell backwards into bushes near Dinosaur.

Great stories! I needed the laugh this morning, thank you for that. I'll add a few of my own...

This wasn't as embarassing as it was gross. LOL 5 years ago when my oldest niece was 3 the whole family went to Disney. We were in Epcot and most of the adults went off to ride Test Track. My dad and I stayed with the kids. My niece started whining and complaining and crying that she had to go to the bathroom. So, being the good aunt that I am, off we go to find the nearest bathroom. I get her into the stall, pull down her pants and find that she really DID have to go! She pooped in her panties. Ugh, at this point in my life I'd never even changed a dirty diaper! What do I do? I sit her down, try to calm her down, and do my best to clean her up. What do I do with her My Little Pony panties? I threw them in the trash in the stall! What else could I do? I made her go back to the group commando. LOL When we got back everyone was off the ride and wondering why we were gone so long. I explained what happened and proceeded to tell my sister she shouldn't be surprised when she changes her later on to find she's panty-less. She couldn't stop laughing, asked what I did with her panties and I said I tossed them. She joked that they were her favorite pair of My Little Pony panties. I told her which stall she could find them in. LOL

We took a trip in December 2006, the last one with my dad before he passed away. He always rented an ECV, this trip I had gotten him one from an outside vendor so he'd have it at the hotel, etc. Anyway, we were in HS at the Little Mermaid show, they directed us to the back row where wheelchairs and ECVs can fit. My dad was maneuvering his cart, which he wasn't the greatest at driving, and he hit the arm of one of the chairs and completely ripped off the arm rest! The thing went sailing in the air, I don't even know where it landed. LOL I was mortified! I told him to stop moving before he wrecked the entire theatre. LOL
