Most Embarressing Moments at Disney

[Disney1976]

This happened to me about 8-10 years ago, before I was married (and divorced!) and had a step-son, and I wasn't really good about knowing how old kids were when they learned about fantasy and reality (Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, etc). My friend and I were sitting in MGM waiting for Fantasmic to start and we struck up a conversation with a nice family next to us. At one point, the father happened to mention that his daughter was six years old. So, we're talking about our trips, and the sights, etc., and the talk turns to Mickey Mouse, and I blurt out (innocently, I swear) with something along the lines of "Yea, he sure gets around, doesn't he? But it sure must be hot for the person in the costume in this summer heat."

Well, the daughter turns to look at me with eyes as big as saucers, a horrified look on her face, as if she's about to burst into tears. "All she can say is "You mean Mickey Mouse isn't real?" I realize my error, and I feel awful, but I'm at a total loss for words -as are her parents, who look both shocked, and like they want to hurt me. My friend elbows me hard in the stomach and whispers "What are you, an idiot? She's too young to not know the characters aren't real!" He convinced the little girl that I was only teasing, and saved the water works from happening, and I learned to keep my mouth shut from that point on!

My moment happened at Blizzard Beach. It was a relatively warm day when it started to rain. The rain really made me chilled, so while DH and the kiddies continued to play I went off to find a dry chair and wrap up in a towel to get warm.

After a while a group of Brazillians came up to get ready to leave. I believe this group consisted of three families total. I was sitting on the edge of the area and they had the rest, about four lounge chairs.

I tried not to watch them but it was either look over that way or stare at a bush. Some of the time I just closed my eyes and rested and other times I glanced over.

They were changing the little ones' clothes. Having little ones run naked while getting dressed doesn't bother me. The moms sort of put their clothes on over their bikinis. However, the gentlemen were a different story.

The men got naked and then dressed. One guy was literally a foot from me and was completely naked taking his sweet time putting on his shirt, briefs, and pants. Of course I got an eye full when I opened my eyes and there was Mr. Brazil in all his glory just inches from me. I tried to act like it was no big deal and went back to closing my eyes.

I mention where they are from simply because this may be how they do things over there. I didn't say anything because it was just me and they probably did what they would have done anway.

Even though he was the one naked next to me I was the one embarrassed. Needless to say, though I'll say it, men from Brazil are blessed.

I'd say it's the Brazilian WOMEN who are blessed! LOL

Ok I can not believe I am sharing this. My mom surpised my youngest by taking her and her sisters for a week at WDW for her 6th birthday in August. The last night we were all tired and just plain wore out. I do not know what time it was. All I know is the park had closed and we had waited through 3 buses and were finally at the front of the line. When the 6 yr old announces she can not hold it and has to pee. At this point, I figure I will take her off to the side (by the bushes) let her pee in her pants and change her at the resort. She decides to pull her pants down behind the bench. After a few minutes I realize she isnt just peeing. At this point the bus has arrived and is waiting for us. She took her time and even required a whippie before she would move. The whole bus full of ppl watched and was completely shocked. She on the other hand was prefectly content. But I have already warned for our trip in Jan. we will be hitting the bathrooms on the way out of the parks everytime.

This happened in WDW on our last trip which was Dec.18th to Dec.22nd.

We were staying at the AKL and really enjoyed it. So before the trip my mom had bought matching Mickey Santa Hats with our names on. They were really neat. But the only problem was that my brother's was to small. So we ripped the hem out of it in the back. It looked so stupid. So as we were waiting for the bus at the AKL my brother decides to have some fun. He puts the stupid looking Santa Hat on and starts dancing (I'll post the link for the video if you guys want). Now this isn't any regular little kid dance, he is slapping his butt and my dad and I our laughing a little to loud. My mom just sat there totally embarresed. So finally the bus to Epcot comes and we walk over to it. Well my dad, brother, and me hop on leaving my mom stuck behinfd someone. But the man my mom was behind says "ohh you go ahead and stick with your family, you guys were having to much fun". My mom wanted to die.

Also, that was the last day we wore those Santa hats!!

ok..here's one:

I was with DD21 in October and one day she and I brought stuffed animals to the park. While waiting for COP(we were first in line) we had a wonderful CM who posed for pictures and was very mischievous. When the door finally opens he drops the rope and I go marching inside and take a seat..only to look around and realize DD is not behind me...neither is anyone else! I see my daughter wave from the door and then finally come in....the playful CM had only let me in and then brought the rope back up....and I hadn't even noticed until I got settled in my seat!!!
My daughter just cracked up as everyone had watched me walk in unaware of the "joke"!

Last spring, four of us went to the Haunted Mansion. It was late at night and the crowd in the stretching room was small. When the door opened I led my group quickly to the Doom Buggies; in fact, I raced through the double chained lines attempting to be the first one on the ride late at night. Just as I made the far turn, I looked back and my group who was already standing at the Doom Buggies waiting for me since there was no need to take the usual long pathway to the ride: the CM's just let the small group on as they first approached the Doom Buggies. Not a very bad moment for me, to be sure, but the others got a big chuckle out of my haste-makes-waste efforts!

On a trip to Disney World with three of my friends, my mom and my godfather, we decided that we wanted to ride the monorail around for a while. This was about 7PM at night. Well, after riding around for a while, we realized that the monorail was heading back to the monorail barn for the night. It turned out that it was late at night, and the monorails had made their last run. We didn't know what to do, so my mom and godfather started screaming for help. Then, my godfather spotted a phone that connects you with the monorail operator. Morrie picked it up and told the driver we were still on the monorail. He/she finally let us off at one of the resort hotels that the monorail stops at.

As soon as we got off and were passing by the front of the monorail, I could feel the driver laughing at us, as I'm sure he had seen us. We were the only ones on the monorail-no one else had gotten off. We were all laughing too. It was a very memorable moment that was so funny to never forget. Every time we go back to Disney World (we're actually leaving in three days!!!!!), my godfather always has to remind us about the time we got stuck on the monorail.

This past May we took our 1st family trip to WDW. We went to AK on Mother's Day. It was hot and quite busy by the afternoon. We were gonna leave when I talked dh into letting ds and I go on EE one last time...actually I told him it was Mother's Day and I wanted to ride it one more time before we left for the day whether he liked it or not -LOL!! So we walk over go to the FP area so dh could sit in the shade with dd and my ds and I took off for the entrance! My ds ran off and therefore I followed as fast as I could run....and tripped on the bumpy ground and flew head first through the air and landed smack face down/belly down/knees down on the ground as if sliding into home plate! Before I knew what had happened there was like 3 CM's and othe guests there asking me if I was ok. Trying to regain my dignity I stood up and hobbled over to my ds who was standing there staring at me, looking mortified. I insisted I was ok and just wanted to get on EE before the line got longer. Boy did my one knee hurt the next coupole of days..other than that I was no worse for the waear. Upon exiting EE my dh told me he watched it all from the FP area and was laughing when he saw me "disappear" What a trip

Sorry...but...

Thanks for the laughs everyone .... I read this thinking OKAY so my kids aren't so bad

I do have 1 particular story that always makes me giggle when I think of it!
A few years back we braved E-nights with my (then) 7 year old son. He was having SOOOO much fun we just kept going and going with him.... DH and I said when he drops then we will drop ... famous last words...
well it was 1AM and we were going back to CR on those wonderful escalators... older DS and I stepped on, DH stepped on (we were going DOWN) and my 7 year old decided it was time to drop right there at the TOP of the down escalator he said he was done and proceded to go to sleep right there sooooo my DH (who was BEAT TIRED) tried to turn and run up the down escalator to retrieve said boy and fell at least 10 times trying to make it to the top!!! At this point the 1am too tired to think giggles kick in and me and older DS are DYING laughing, holding each other up while we watching this circus then the rest of the way to the room my DH had to carry said boy who was flopped all out in a back bend in daddy's arms (7 year old are not easy to carry hahahah) while daddy is explaining that we only need 1 son to carry on the family name... can't we please leave this one to the wolves

My embarrassing moment wasn't accidental--my husband did it on purpose!

We went with a group of 12 in 1993. Half of us were on the monorail in a car by ourselves goofing around on the way to the Poly for the luau. Well, back then, Steve Urkel from Family Ties was a big hit. My very tall, lanky, PALE husband was goofing around and tucked his t-shirt into his elastic waist shorts, pulls up his socks as far as they'd go, pulled the shorts almost up to his armpits, slides his glasses down to the end of his nose, peers over, and begins to "channel" Steve Urkel! (In case you forgot. . ."Did I do that?" OHHHHH--that nasal voice!) The monorail begins to come to a stop at the Poly, and one of the fellows we were with dared him to walk ALL the way through the Poly like that!!! Needless to say, I stayed WAY behind them (stupid time to be wearing matching shirts!!) . . .and I'm sure there are still some folks who wonder who that weirdo was who came up and asked them "Got any cheeeeeese?"

I sure wish I had a photo of that though! He's a pastor now, and that would look LOVELY on the church bulletin board!!!

This is the funniest thing I've ever heard!!!

I am having a total blast reading these stories and my mother keeps glancing at me like I am crazy!

I have one to add and while it is kinda gross it was still embarrassing at the time!

Probably about 6 or 7 years ago, DM, her DBF, and myself were walking on one of the paths from future world to world showcase. It was a busy night and the pathway was rather crowded. There was a group of five or six frogs jumping back and forth all over the pathway. We were all watching them. We continued to walk the pathway and just as I was about to put my foot down one of the frogs jumped under my foot! There was the loudest popping noise...it sounded like someone clapped their hands together and I could feel the squishiness under my foot! Everyone around us saw it happen and the crowd was filled with "ewwwwwwwws." I felt so bad for the frog, but nevertheless was totally embarrassed! Needless to say, I was known as the "frog assassin" for the rest of our stay!

Too funny....frog killer... poor little thing...he didn't even see it coming...

These are all great! Good laughs.

Ok, I have one that I didn't think was embarrassing at the time, but now that I think about it kind of is. Well, I'm in Orlando by myself in July for a work training trip. I was able to have my work book me in the Marriott World Center so I could be close to the parks. So, each evening I would stroll into the parks after my course to just have some fun on the rides and pretty much soak in the place. I have to say, it is quite an interesting place to go on your own when you are used to going with your family. Anyway, at home I have a DD5 who is quite into Kim Possible and I promised her I would get a picture or autograph for her before I flew home. However, since I could only get in at night the Kim Possible character was always finished with her greetings and autograph signings at MGM by the time I would get there. Finally on my last day (Friday) the class finishes early and I am not scheduled to fly out until the evening. So, I hightail it over to MGM and get into the park (thank goodness for annual passes). I get into the park at 1:14pm and notice that KP is signing right now from 1:00pm to 1:20pm. I then do an all out sprint to the "Streets of America" section in MGM. Now, don't forget this is the middle of July in Florida and though I'm not completely out of shape, I'm definitely not in the same shape I was in college as a swimmer. So, I make it to KP and step in line behind all of the kids. It is finally my turn and both KP and Ron look up at me with a kind of startled look . They are startled b/c a sweaty, panting 33 yr old man is gawking at them and is in a line consisting of all kids except me. KP asks, "where are your kids?" and I say, "I'm here by myself". Another startled look . I then proceed to ask if I can take a small video of them from my phone and ask them to say hi to my kids. Luckily they were nice enough to oblige and my DD5 was super excited that KP said hi to her by name.

But after it was all over I realized that a grown man ran through a Theme Park in Florida in July to get a video of a teen girl in a mid-rift t-shirt saying it was "for his kids". I'm sure I'm on some surveillence video and "watch out for this guy" poster somewhere in the back halls of MGM.

I have a bad knee that swells if I stay on it to long . I was on my 5th day in WDW with a friend and at this point she was pushing me in a wheelchair with my leg proped up and a ice bag on it . She had parked me by the strollers and went into the CP to check us in for our ADR. I was sitting there worn out and bummed that she was having to push me . ( she is 5' in shoes LOL I am 5'8 I look silly in the chair anyway !with her pushing)
I had been watching this cute little squirrel go from stroller to stroller looking for food in the bottom of the baskets. He was starving or so it seemed he would stop and look up at me and sit up on his hind legs . He looked cute and harmless I tell ya !
When she came back out I asked her to dig in my backpack for some PB crackers I had in there so I could feed him . She handed me the crackers and told me it was not a good idea. I threw one on the ground, he didnt want that one . So I put one in my hand and stuck it out as far as I could for him to take . HE JUMPED in my lap and I screamed some not so nice words he started scratching me and then bit me on my hand as I screamed and tried to swat him out of my lap . He would leave and I couldnt stand up because of the knee LOL I did get him out of my lap while yelling out the whole time "Get out of my Bleeping lap you bleeping nasty bleeping sqiurrel. You filthy bleeping beast" Yeah you guys know how in front of CP they have that Kodak spot where people video and take pictures . Well all accross America there are videos of me doing this because oh I would say 50 people at least turned thier video cameras on me .
To this day I expect it to pop up on Americas Funniest Videos.

OMG!!! Too funny!!
