Most Embarressing Moments at Disney

[Wherem I Now]

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading these for quite a while and I guess that it’s now time for me to add mine.


In 2000, we happened to be at WDW during the week of my 30th birthday. On that day we decided to visit MGM and after having a very fun and entertaining Birthday dinner at the Prime Time Cafe we headed over to see Fantasmic (our very first time!)

We arrived in the theater area about 45 minutes before show time and of course the seating had already filled to about 70%. It seemed that there were people everywhere all crowding in to get those last few good seats.

As we made our way thru the crowd and started down the stairs, I noticed my In-laws with my youngest DD(2 at the time) were a few steps in front of me and DW was walking beside me. I continued to look around but didn’t see my oldest DD(4 at the time) anywhere... Concern sets in.

Did I lose her in the crowd? Was I the adult that was supposed to be keeping up with her? I scan in front of the In-laws, behind them, behind me… Worry sets in.

I turned to DW and ask “Where’s Cassie?” She glances back at me, still walking down the steps toward our row, and simply asks “What?”

“Where’s Cassie?” I implore. “What are you talking about?” was her reply.

“Where is Cassie ?!?” DW reaches the end of the row, turns to me, looks me right in the eye and says “I don’t know. Where is Cassie?” Panic now setting in.

“Is she with your Mom?!?” DW replies, “No, I thought she was with you” and continues into the row.

I can’t believe that she isn’t as freaked out about this as I am. Surely she must know where our DD is if she is continuing to her seat! At this point I demand “Seriously, where is she?” loud enough for several people around us to notice. My DW once again says to me “I don’t know. Where is Cassie?” She is now chuckling just a bit and looks over my head.

It is at that moment that I realize, Cassie is exactly where she has been for the last 15 minutes. The same place that she has been for so much of the entire week at Disney… Riding on my shoulders.

Almost 8 years later I look back and wonder if that was the moment when my mind started to go…

So, I made the mistake of going to WDW with my in-laws and they proceeded to make my usually wonderful trips to WDW HORRIBLE!!! This was quite a few years ago and my DH, DSIL, MIL, FIL, and myself were having a heated discussion about whether you pronounced tortilla with the "L" sound, or the "Y" sound. We had this amazing table at the San Angel Inn right on the "river", a few margaritas, and this DISCUSSION. My in-law's neighbor (who is Polish, not hispanic) told them that tortilla is pronounced with the "L" sound and that his pronounciation meant more than the years of Spanish class (DH speaks almost fluently), visits to Taco Bell, and general knowledge that we felt we (me, DH, and DSIL) had. Whatever, she was wrong and no amount of eye rolling, or arguing with her was going to make her cave...

So, in the middle of this discussion, her beverage is getting cold so she gets the attention of the waiter. This was after my DH has requested a table and ordered margaritas and appetizers in spanish. He had also struck up a conversation about where our waiter was from and how long he had been at WDW - ALL in spanish.

My MIL taps her glass with her fingernail, and proceeds to ask the waiter, "Can I get some iiiiiiice, pleeeeeease?" over-annunciating each word as if the waiter only spoke spanish. OK, I understand the amazing environment, attention to detail, etc. but we are in WDW, not Mexico. The waiter, without skipping a beat, says "OOOOOOOH Kaaaaaaaay!"

At that point, my DH, while tears are coming from his eyes laughing, asks the waiter to tell my MIL exactly how to pronounce "tortilla"!!!!

That was years ago, and my DH, DSIL and I LOVE to bring that up.

My younger brother (DB15) has learning disabilities and oppositional defiance disorder, which makes life a struggle. Well... everywhere we go is a struggle, even WDW. It gets embarrassing.

If you are ever in the World and see a family of four (me, DBs 15 & 12, and DDad) where the teenaged girl looks like she's trying to blend into the walls/foliage, it's probably us. There's frequent "Don't think I won't make you sit at another table!" at every restaurant, and, "I'll call the airline and we'll all go home!" Mind you, Dad is a big guy at 6'4", and DB15 tends to say the wrong thing. Loudly. In the wrong places. We're quite conspicuous.

So... every outing involves a tiny bit of embarrassment... and some laughs. Sometimes that "wrong thing" to say is very funny, even if it is embarrassing at the time. I'm sure I'll have a "melt into the walls" moment on our trip in July...

My family went to WDW in Dec. 2005, myself, DH, DD & DD's BF (they are now engaged). DD & DBF wanted to eat at CP in MK. So we said ok. They made the ADR. We get there, get to our table, right in the middle. not far from the buffet. My husband goes to sit down and just keeps going, topples over the top of the chair, onto the floor. We ask if he is ok, (he's fine. Does things like this all the time). However we turn around to sit and Pooh is standing next us. Asking us if DH is ok. The 3 of us turn to Pooh and say "You talked! You're not suppose to talk." Pooh keeps asking if DH is ok. I tell him he's fine but "you better stop talking or you're going to lose your job".
My DH & I went down again last year. Every time we pass CP we turn to each other say "There's the scene of accident." We don't eat there anymore.

My DH also slipped in a handicapped bathroom at PO. He couldn't get up. Kept slipping. I had to tell him to crawl out of the shower stall, onto the floor where is wasn't wet.

Loved the Pooh story, but this bathroom one reminded me of when DH and I were just dating. We had went to Six Flags over TX and were staying at a Motel 6. I hear this thud in the bathroom where DH is. So I go running in to make sure he is ok. He has fallen out of the shower and is laying in the floor, so when I open the door to the bathroom, WHAM! right in the head. Fortunately he was ok.

I think mine would have to be loudly declaring my surprise at the fact it was snowing in Florida while walking down Main Street during the Xmas party last year. It took me a second to realize what was going on and that I had noted my surprise very loudly!

We have had many embarassing moments at Disney but this one always makes me laugh. My daughter, who was five at the time, really took a liking to the Tower of Terror. We rode it two times that particular day and she begged to go one more time before we left the park. The wait wasnt too long so we agreed and as we walked up to get in line she hollered "yeah... the toilet zone....the toilet zone!" We had to have a little talk about how the show was actually "The Twilight Zone".

 

[Peggy Jean]

YUCK!!!! I didn't know that there were 'dead guys' in that room!!!!! I mean... I always close my eyes when the lights go out so I don't look up

Yeah those dead guys must really have a bunch of funny stories to tell. Back in 1999 we were vacationing with my cousin and her family. Well DD and her cousin got off the doom buggy onto the moving ramp and they were facing backward looking for their brothers and dead guy allows my cousin to back right into him. She let out a squeal, I thought I was gonna pee myself laughing at her. It was even more funny since I was waiting at the end watching the whole thing unfold.

DD always wonders why people aren't screaming more. She says its no fun if your not screaming. People look at her funny when we get off the different roller coasters because she screamed the whole way and she is asking me why no one else is screaming and having fun. So feel comfortable in knowing, according to DD, you were the only one having fun on the ride.

I got my DD on her first roller coaster when she was about 4yo at Dutch Wonderland. Not a big one , but big to her. I convinced her that it would be fun to scream during the ride. Really, where else can you scream and have fun at the same time. So roller coasters and screaming go hand in hand in our family.

Once at a 6 Flags I had DD on one of those Pirate ship rides, and the lady across form us told us that my DD's expressions and screaming was worth the price of admission.

I have to admit, it does make it fun, also take the edge of the scariness.

we went to mvmcp and ds4 was getting bored waiting for mickeys twas the night before christmas show to start so he decided to try to rhyme as it was what he was learning in prek. so he was saying cat rat bat, house mouse, then the look in his eyes was priceless i got it the best one ever STITCH... stitch rhymes with#*%@*. the elderly couple behind us laughed so hard, when they stopped, they said where are you from new york? and of course we are, so for the rest of the 20 minute wait knowing that everyone thought he was hilarious, he repeated stitch rhymes with &%*$#. in his best sing song voice. mortified mommy could not control him or stop laughing unfortunately i too have a potty mouth

That is so like a slapstick movie!

Ok...My Turn. Myself the DW and DD(age3) are at the MK last Spetember. DD is in the process of potty traing. She was actualy really good at it. Not one accident the entire time. BUT...At one point down by the Alladins Carpet ride, she gives us the two minute warning...DADDY I GOTTA GO! and she meant it. A guy standing next to us looks at me with sympathy and Says "Take advantage of this moment...she'll never be more clear of her needs for the rest of her life (I note the guy is with his 4 daughters and wife...they all give him the stink eye)

So Mom was eating and I drew bathroom detail. In to the mens restroom we go...past the line of urinals...Down the row of stalls. I go into the handicapped stall as to have enoguh room to manuever. I set her on the potty and she goes like a champ. She announces as much to anyone that will listen...No big deal.

Well as I'm standing there, I discover that I to need to "GO POTTY" so I sit down and proceed to urinate (No need to confuse the daughter yet...know what I mean?). As I finish, She walks over to me and pats me on the knee and says very loudly "GOOD JOB DADDY!!!! I'm SO PROUD YOU!!!! YOU WENT POTTY LIKE A BIG BOY!!! GOOD JOB GOOD JOB"

Immediately, I hear chuckles erupt in the line of stalls....It reached a peak...We go out of the stall and are bathroom rock stars...Every man in the bathroom gave me the thumbs up "High Sign"

You know...I felt quite proud of going potty TBH. My DD was certainly proud

This is hilarious, but I think any bathroom story told by someone with this user name is bound to be good!

On our last trip to WDW in June 06 we stayed at our favorite resort, the BWI.

Our family of 5 returned by Disney bus to the resort from AK in the mid afternoon after a long hot, sweaty, tiring morning and afternoon of fun.

As we walked the covered path back to the BWI from the bus stop with our fellow passengers, Mom and the kids were slightly ahead of me.

I watched as Mom suddenly stopped and froze in her tracks and was using her left hand to check her pockets in a frantic search for her cell phone.

(Meanwhile this sudden stop had resulted in her being bumped and almost run over by others from the bus)

Mom turns to face back towards the bus and announces :

" I lost my cell phone! I left it on the bus! "

She looked at me and yelled " Go Get It! "

The kids and I immediately pretend that we did not know this crazy woman and several of the people around her start chuckling and giggling.

Their looks were fantastic.

It was at that moment that Mom realized that she was talking on her cell phone and it was grasped firmly in her right hand by her face and ear.

Even her Mother, whom she was chatting with on the cell phone at the time, got a great chuckle.

To this day, we still catch Mom off guard now and then asking her to find her cell phone while she is chatting on it. It always elicits a smile.
