Most Embarressing Moments at Disney

[chrismb22]

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

I can just picture this one and I am in serious tears here. Tooo funny!!

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.

Ok, can I just tell you, I'm reading this post and you know how you get an image in your head of something? I automatically assumed you were a MOM (didn't read your name) and I'm thinking this is funny enough. Then you said you were a DAD and I found it hillarious!! You are a very good story teller (I'm an editor) and I must say you kept the suspense up for the audience BRAVO!!!B

My embarassing story was that it was New Years's night and we were at SSR at the pool and we were walking down to go watch the fireworks at Downtown Disney. When I was walking down I some how got separated from my dad and the rest of the family. But, the reason I got separated from my family was because I followed some random person that I thought was my dad until he turned around and I reallized he was Hispanic. At this point I'm all the way down at the other end from where my family was and I was so confused. So basically I was with a different family foir part of the night.

That's exactly how Kevin ended up in NYC in Home Alone 2.

I have been dying, reading all these!!!

I'm at the hospital w/ my DM and she was very concerned about me because I had to run to the bathroom, cause I counldn't breath and din't want to wake her! Here i am suppossed to be taking care of her and she walks into the bathroom to find me doubled over wheezing, holding on to the bar, so I don't fall down!! She was very concerned, and asked if I needed a nurse!

This thread saved my life!! what a great way to destress.

My DD for some reason when she turned 4 starting announcing when she passed gas. Well when we went to WDW in May of 2007 she was 5 and had not grown out of this. So were in the line for Peter Pan and she announces rather loudly, "Mommy, I farted!" and proceeds to giggle. I swear I still love my DD.

My other moment was when we went to AK. We stopped at the stand that's right by the entrance and bought DH a hat to protect him from the sun. Well the lady asked if we wanted to donate a dollar to help save the animals. I said yes and she gave me a pin. I gave the pin to my DD and proceeded to tell her it was to help save the animals, not the Disney animals but the real animals.

I went to WDW fof my honeymoon. One day we were looking round the store near Space Mountain in MK - I wandered off & then returned to DH. As he had his back to me I came up behind him & pinched his bum. I don't know who was more surprised - me or the Japanese man who turned around!! After a few mumbled words of apolology I hot footed it out of the shop.

My husband was upset that I could mistake this other guy for him! It still makes me laugh when I think about it.

This is so funny that I am still laughing...We had just exited Splash Mountain and we were getting our stroller and talking about the ride under a few trees..located in front of the big drop..when all of a sudden I felt something hit my head..WELL..I put my hand on my head and yes, a bird had pooped on my head. I had to get myself together and without telling anyone I screamed, "I have to go to the bathroom"..I went in and proceeded to wash it out of my hair. I didn't tell my husband and kiddies until that night over dinner and needless to say the laughed at me for about an hour

Well, here are three of my Embarrassing Moments...

(as excerpted from my Minmate's Trip Report: Outwit, Outlast, Outnumbered)
My family of six (dh, myself and kids: dd6, dd5, ds4 and dd2) head into MK for a dinner at Crystal Palace. Curiously, I noticed, we seem to get a lot of tables in different restaurants in similar type locations… by the door, kind of off by themselves, lots of space around them. This happens even back home - but there I understand b/c not all places cater to kids, so a family of 6 might seem to be "scary." Here at MK, I really didn't think we're THAT scary, are we? I won’t complain though!

Dh took two kids to the buffet to fill their plates and get himself a salad. He then got the other two kids’ plates. Then he offered for me to get a plate of food. I did. Then he went to get his main food. Two seconds after he left the table ds2 (JayJay) turns to me and says she has to go potty. Wait a minute. Didn’t daddy already take you? “Can you wait a minute?” I ask. I couldn’t see DH and I didn’t want to leave the kids all at the table. Just as I was readying to oust the whole clan to go to the bathroom JayJay gives me that look and starts to stand up in her high chair. Yup folks, she only gave me about a 5 second warning that she had to go. This was not like her. She hasn’t had an accident in months. Oh no, I didn’t bring a backpack in tonight either! Egads! I guess she was so excited to see Tigger she peed her pants -- literally! Well, as soon as dh returns to the table, I jump up and dd5 (Meg) announces the news to daddy, loudly. DH's response:
“So the Magic Continues…” he laughs.

Later that same trip, we enjoyed a Grand Gatherings Magical Fireworks Voyage. Despite our best efforts in planning (by taking the kids to the bathroom before the 40-minute-plus boat ride) as the fireworks started dd6 started whining in my ear she had to go to the bathroom. She couldn't hold it - she just couldn't. I was mortified about what to do. Do I ask the Pirate leader? He was a comedian and I was afraid of what he'd say to embarrass her further. But I didn't want her to wet her pants, that would be bad too. Just then, I remembered we had an empty cup from hot chocolate by our feet. I was sitting in a row with just my kids and it was dark, so I did what any panic stricken mother would do. My dd did NOT want to comply with my request, but seconds later she knew she realized it was her only choice. I "held" her on my lap with one arm hugging her and my other hand holding the cup for her as she pulled her pants down and peed into it. A second wave of panic washed over me as I felt the warmth in the cup and the level rising dangerously close to the top. I started telling her to stop, stop STOP before the cup overflowed! Thankfully she did. I put the cover back on the cup and when we exited the boat I brought it with me. Before I had a chance to throw it away Dh (who sat two rows behind us and was oblivious to the whole thing) asked if he could have the rest of the hot chocolate.
I briefly thought about obliging him - thankfully for him, there was a trash can right in front of me instead!

As you can see, we had some "potty issues" that trip...


My third embarrassing -- okay, more funny than embarrassing moment -- came at Disneyland about 12 years ago - I was in my early 20's and my boyfriend (now dh at the time) and I lived in California. His brother (19 at the time) came to visit us with his girlfriend. When we got in the elevator at the Haunted Mansion and the lights blacked out, all of a sudden this loud voice shrieked, "DON'T TOUCH ME THERE!"
Everyone started laughing but I knew who the voice belonged to -- my future brother-in-law!

Now that I'm a mother, I don't imagine I'd have found that nearly as humorous as I did then sans kids in tow!

Just found this thread and can contribute a funny/embarassing story to share.

My mom joined me for her first ever trip to WDW in 1996. I told her that we would do whatever she wanted, but there were times she was going to have to wait while I rode one of the big rides that I didn't think she would want to ride....she had told me she didn't 'do' rollercoasters, and waited patiently while I rode space mountain. A few hours later we were over at Splash Mountain/Big Thunder Mountain and I told her I was going to ride Big Thunder Mountain Rollercoaster and she got in line with me. i asked "are you going to ride this, it's a roller coaster" and she just kept walking through the queue. This was before fast passes so we walked the entire queue and got to see a few trains go by while we walked. We get down to get into the train and she loudly goes...."You never told me this was a Rolly Coaster!!!" I looked at her with one of those faces and said...."I told you three or four times this was a roller coaster" and she proceeds to get in the seat and I thought she was going to walk through, she sat down and pulled down the lap bar! The entire ride was her screaming that she doesn't do rolly coasters and why did I force her on this ride When the ride ended, I wanted to sprint out of my seat and act like I didn't know her....we pull into the station and she ends the ride with "That was really fun, let's go again!"

A similar experience happened the next day at MGM and Tower of Terror. I explained the whole ride to her and that I really didn't think she would like it, it is in the dark and you drop. She saw the doors open at the top and heard people scream as we walked towards it. She decided she was going to try it because she could chicken out at the very end....well, we get through every thing and yep, we get assigned our seats and she gets the seatbelt seat! I changed spots with her and gave her the bench with the bar and I took the seatbelt seat, and she screamed with each drop..."You never told me this was a rolly coaster!". I've heard TOT called many things, but a roller coaster???

I bought her the "I survived TOT" coffee mug when we were through as her souvenier and made sure she understood what the ride was going to be like before getting on it for the rest of the week.
