Then there is the interesting commentary going on. I think it is fun to watch those floor or "blacked-out" videos and try to remember what we were talking about. Or who said what "off camera"
So this didn't happen to me, but to my dad. We were at the main pool at OKW not long after they added the slide. My dad is, well, not a light weight guy, I guess you can call him pooh sized. So he is going down the slide but the water pressure was not enough to move him, he gets stuck in the first turn. He is trying to push himself down the slide, but this is taking a while. We are waiting at the bottom for my dad to come down, for a long time. I guess the lady at the top figured that the sensors for the red light--green light thing weren't working so she just goes down. She runs into my dad and they both come out together, this lady has her legs and arms wrapped around my dad. I don't know who was more embarrassed, her or him, they just detached and went their seperate ways. But it sure was funny for those of us watching at the bottom.

Ok...Another one.
We're in line for the Pirates of the Carribean. DW, DD(3) and Me...the victim. The line is longish, about 20 minutes of wait time. As we're standing there, the unmistakable waft of flatulence washes over the crowd. So for the next couple of minutes everyone is playing the "I wonder who farted game". This consists of cutting eyes at your linemates trying to figure out if that smell from the depths of hell could come out of that petite little flower of a lady 3 people down...You guys know the drill...
Well anyway, about 3 minutes into the game, my DD gets the scent....She curls up her face and looks at me and says (LOUDLY) "DADDY! YOU POOPED YOUR PANTS...AGAIN!"
Dammit! I didn't do it...But now I'm the center of everyone's attention...I was fully designated as the "Pirates of the Carribean Farter"...I got framed by my own!
I really wanted to reply "Not me honey, that one was Mom" but I would have faced certain maiming with that comment ;-)
Several years ago, we were near POC with DS8, DS12 and DH. DS8 has to climb on all the curbs, and this one tried to bite him (he fell off) and somehow wrenched a knee and his back. We made it to the nearby restaurant, got a bag of ice, and a CM was kind enough to find us a wheelchair. He quickly felt better and ran off with DH to ride something. I had been having major foot problems all day, so DS12 offered to push me in the wheelchair. I let him for a while, feeling fairly foolish, but it felt very good to not be on that foot (we all know that we can't judge someone in a wheelchair just because we don't see something wrong with them, right?). It was nearing time for the afternoon parade, and he had to run to the potty before that, so he parked me along the way and ran. A CM came up to me and said, "No, ma'am, we have a much better place for you!" and kindly pushed me to the wheelchair viewing area (and now I'm feeling even more foolish than I was before). I had my pin lanyard on, so that CM ran and got four more CMs with pins all to offer to trade... Now, remember, there really was not much wrong with me, but here i am, in this wheelchair, being completely fussed over... Boy, I felt really stupid, taking up time and energy that could have been used helping people who really needed help! and of course, half an hour later, I realized why my foot hurt so much -- never wear new Dr. Scholl's inserts and walk for 6 hours right away. So since I didn't hurt so much, and now family had all gone somewhere else, I was stuck PUSHING my own wheelchair so I could return it...Should I ever REALLY need a wheelchair, I'll remember all the kindness I received when I DIDN'T really need it!
Thanks for all the great stories! I'm really hoping some other member of my family does something stupid when we go in 2 months so I pass it along!

On our last trip down there my teenage DD was not with us, so I had my two younger ones and a friend of my DD. Well, I had never been on KRR at Ak before because I hate to get wet. This trip, I could not send the little ones in alone, so I had to go. I love this type of ride, I just hate getting wet.Anyway, we get on and we are going and there is a splash here and there, no big deal. All of a sudden I could see it coming and I slipped and said "OH S$$T!!" I was so embarrassed. I'am not sure how loud it was and I hope no one heard me, but I was embarrassed to say that at Disney. I got soaked too!!
