Most Embarressing Moments at Disney

[CindyT]

We sat congratulating ourselves for scoring perfect viewing seats for the nighttime electrical parade, on top of the train station. We must have been there about an hour and a half before we realized that there was no parade that night

Let me begin by saying I'm nearsighted and vain...this means I often do not wear my glasses. I'm with my DD who's 18 at the AK in the petting zoo area where there are pygmy goats (or some such creature) from far away I swear it looked like he had 5 legs and I say so....My daughter, bursting with laughter says "Mom, that's not a leg" (damn if it didn't reach the floor!!!)

Must have been a brazilian goat

Some years ago when DD6 and I were in MouseGear, the large gift shop in Epcot, she was immediately drawn to a huge display of character bobble-heads. Reaching out to "see" which is touch in kidspeak, I quickly intercepted and warned that these are very breakable and not play toys. But, I would show her how they work. So, I bobbled the heads of several Mickeys down at her eye level. At this point, a CM came up and asked if I needed any help. "Nope, just showing my girl how the bobbles work." DD6 enjoyed the syncronous bobble action which then spawned what would prove to be a very bad idea. Starting at the bottom row, I began bobbling every head in the display working my way up the pyramid to see if I could get the whole display going in a single, continuous bobble symphony! Gauging that the motion of the initial bobbleheads were starting to slow, I began speeding up my "tap and go" hand motions by bringing both hands into play to ensure all bobbleheads were in full action at the end. Having never mastered even a two-ball juggle, I should have envisioned that my minimal dexterity would soon lead to disaster. Several bobbleheads short of my goal, a baseball uniformed Mickey with bat at the ready toppled down the pyramid taking out a Minnie from the bottom row. As both shattered on the floor, I realized that the CM did not wander far from us as she had certainly seen this type of idiocy before. I offered and even begged to pay for the broken merchandise but the CM politely refused repeating "it happens all the time". Needless to say, I allowed DD6 to pick out a plush of her choice for me to buy and avoid the further embarrassment of leaving without buying anything.

Hiya - those stories are soooooo funny

Ours include - 2 giant tortoises doing what comes naturally at AK - a little boy (5ish) asked "what are they doing" his mum replied with a red face - "oh they're just playing leap-frog" - boy "Well they're not very good at it" We were in a crowd listening to the CM talk about the animals and everyone - even the CM - just cracked up...

My dd has had some wonderful "confrontations" as she talks to people without thinking!!!
Sitting in the restaurant one evening she (3 at the time) says nice and loudly "Why does that man have no hair - he looks really funny" (His wife nearly choked...)

Another occasion on the bus - "Oh NO - your mummy will be cross with you for writing on your self " to a man aged about 45/50 with tattoos

To Pluto - "do you lift your leg to go wee - my doggy does" I'm sure his blush showed THROUGH the fur!!!

Loved the Chip/Dale nuts post - I can just imagine my DD saying that too....

OK...you have to see it from my eyes. My DH, DS and nephew are riding a very crowded bus home to OKW from MK at 2 am. Now, my DS was about 11 at the time...and he thought....like most little boys that age...that public flagulence was.....hilarious

Well, he must have let out a silent attack that night....

Keep in mind....it is 2 am...and very dark.....so I cannot see them well....but it is what I hear that is so hysterical and....embarassing.....


DH...."Oh holy hell, what is that?"
DH looks at my 16 nephew...he has his t-shirt pulled up over his nose...as a makeshift gas-mask

Our Nephew points to DS who is acting innocent and ignoring them.

DH "Man, my eyes are watering!" Something must have crawled up him and died!"

DH...gaging...says to our nephew..."Why didn't you warn me?"

Nephew replies...."Dude, every man for himself."

That deserved an LOL!!

Oh man, does that remind me of one. Not at WDW but Disney related. My DD (2 or 3 at the time) knew that at the end of the movie, the princess always got married and danced with her prince (pick a flick, any Disney flick ). We were at our local zoo and she was thrilled with all the action in the monkey habitat. We took turns describing the action of two monkeys who were particularily active.

Me: "Oh look! They're running!"
DD: "They're jumping!"
Me: "They're swinging!"
DD: "They're climbing!"
They then began to 'do what comes naturally'.
Me: "Ummm..."
DD: "They're married!"
Me: "Let's go see the Leopards."

We call it "wrestling"

That;s funny, cause here at home we refer to "it" as the Wild Monkey Dance

My DH and I were on our honeymoon in 1997 where we watched a Tarzan (?) clip in one of the MGM theatres. I was so tired that I fell asleep and started drooling. Then my DH fell asleep next to me. Once the movie was over the CM had to come over and wake us up so the rest of the row could get out of the theatre.

In Nov 2006 when we went with our kids there was a terrible accident on the Florida Turnpike on our way home. We had to turn off the car and open the windows while we waited. When we left WDW it took the kids all but 5 min to fall into a deep sleep, we were so happy because the car was so quiet. So now the kids were asleep and we feel asleep. It took the driver in the car next to us to honk and yell to wake us up. Traffic was moving again. There was not another car for another 1/2 mile in front of us. So embarrassing.

This is great!
Lets bump this up and see if we can get some more!!!

Totally not Disney, but ds when he was quite young "walked in" and we called it wrestling. So the next day he asked us to wrestle naked again!

Lord love ya, talk about something that would kill spontaneity!

We'd have to set up a whole checklist:
(1) Where are the kids?
(2) Are they fully occupied?
(3) Are they likely to stay occupied?
(4) Even better, are they asleep?
(5) Do they look SOUND asleep?
(6) Turn off the lights
(7) Lock the doors
(8) Move heavy piece of furniture in front of the door!
(9) Turn on radio/TV to muffle all sounds of the "smack down" (well, you did say you were "wrestling").
(10) Listen to sound outside of door.....
(11) Damn, the TV woke the kids!
(12) Move furniture out of the way
(13) Unlock Doors
(14) Turn lights back on
(15) Put kids back to bed again
(16) Are they asleep again?
(17) Return to room and lock door
(18) Turn out lights
(19) ....... "um...Honey?" ..... SNORE
(20) Give up and go sleep.

This is a story my DH told me. On our way to WDW, he and the DS7 went to the mens room at the airport. My DS always uses the kids urinal because the others are too tall. Well for some reason, this man was using it. So, instead of patiently waiting behind the man. My DS stands beside the urinal and stares at the man while is going. My DH came out of the bathroom telling DS, "you need to learn the rules for the mens room".

This takes place at MK, or at the monorail station at MK. We got on at Epcot, but when we entered the train a woman stepped on my mums flip flop so it fell off and down on the rails. we couldn't get off the train cause there were so many people getting on, so we had to ride to MK and then get off. We told a CM at MK what happend and he called Epcot station to get them to get and bring it to MK. So we were standing there waiting and waiting while one train after another arrived but no shoe. My mum had only one shoe on so people were looking at her. All the CM knew about it so they all asked my mum if she was the woman that lost her shoe. Finally the shoe arrived and together with it 5 or 6 CM that all wanted to see who the shoe belonged to. My mum became quite famous, better known as The Woman With The Lost Shoe.

Awww These are beautiful! I haven't laughed so hard in ages! LOL Someone should put these in a book!

Anyhoo! I got one..not embarrsing for me but my Mom! I was about 10 years old and my sister was 7. My dad (named Frank) had just taken us on Space Mountain in the MK for the first time... We all got off the ride and ran to where my mom was waiting for us... (She's a total ride wuss! ) And of course we are all saying the ride is no sweat..not scary at all...she'll love it.... After 10 minutes of convincing her we are on the ride... At the top of the Mountain before flying down to the botton...she begins the now famous scream.... "F**K YOU FRANK!!!!!!!"
To this day she great red everytime this story is brought up... Hee hee so of course we bring it up often!
