Most Embarressing Moments at Disney

[justgeorgi]

My most embarassing moment happened at Typhoon Lagoon in 2005. Here's a copy from my blog about it:

I recently returned from a well deserved vacation. On my last day, we decided to go to a water park. I had never been to one before and I looked forward to the adreniline rush and refreshment of large pools of water.

Like most everything else in my life, I decided that I would just jump right in. I headed right to the big slide. They called it "Humunga Cowabunga" and I was certain I would soon know why.

As we headed toward the top, we passed the large crowd of people who waited at the bottom for their children or spouses. I assumed it was a sort of huddle of shame. The only reason to wait at the bottom was because you were too pansy to go down the slide. I'm fairly certain that it gave me a marginal ego boost to pass them as I headed for the stairs.

At the top of the slide, I took note of everything I should do. First, you sit in the slide, second you wait for the light to turn green and you cross your ankles while pulling yourself from the flat top down the slide which then promptly dropped about three stories, resulting in a 60mph plummet to the bottom.

The sliders before me screamed like they were taking a beating while they slid to the bottom.

As I started my slide, ankles crossed, I refused to scream. Instead I closed my eyes and thought "Dear God, what about this is supposed to be fun? It hurts like hell and at some point I'll have to come to a stop.. I forsee that being an excruciating experience."

Right about then my legs accidently uncrossed resulting in a record breaking wedgie. As I got to the bottom, I vowed to never do it again. I stood up and was so busy pulling my swimsuit out of my bum, I failed to notice that my top fell down.

The large crowd at the bottom didn't.

I'm dying...I think I just peed my pants!

Luckily not my most embarassing moment, but my sisters.

After a miserable day of having loads of blisters on her feet, my sis went to the toilet, while I hovered around test track. So she was in the loo and had her shorts down, when someone barged the toilet door open, hitting her in the head and leaving her standing in nothing but her underwear. After slamming the door shut, the button on her shorts then popped open, so she had to walk around for the rest of the day with her shorts open. On leaving the toilet, she then slipped on the floor.

After what felt like forever of waiting at test track, she then stormed over with a face like thunder. When she told me what happened, I spent the rest of the day laughing. Talk about a bad day. I still laugh about it now.

we thought they would love the Wilderness Lodge and they did. but, on the first night there my mom smelled smoke and started freaking out running down the hall yelling fire, fire!!!! A Cast member heard her and ran into her room and out to the balcony where my mom smelled the smoke and could see it.

After a quick look, the CM told her to calm down and relax as it was just from the chimney for the fireplace. She was really embarrassed, but not as much as my dad who was standing there in his underwear when the female CM came into the room with my mom to investigate her fire.

hahahaha I don't even remember! I'm sure that if they did, I would have remembered but I tried to forget it cuz I was so embarassed! I felt so dirty cause there were all these little kids in the store! I was sure there were mothers shielding their little ones' eyes from the disneywifey and her DH buying condoms!
Plus it was 2 weeks before Valentines Day so they had all the Valentines paraphenalia (sp?) out and it made me think of Mickey singing a Barry White song or something all seductive but so so wrong! My weird head!!

you do realize all those little ones were the result of their parents NOT buying condoms in the Pop gift shop right?

Mine is a Disneyland experience. On my last trip I was staying at the PPH and went through the Grand Californian to California Adventure. I was coming down with the flu and decided to go back to my hotel room for some medicine. Well after you walk out of the GC you turn left and there is a path to take you to the PPH. I guess there were a couple of families following me because I had my lanyard and annual pass hanging from it so it looked like I knew what I was doing. I wasn't paying attention and had walked past the path to my hotel and down into some kind of loading dock area. I turned around to go back to the path and saw three families behind me. I was so embarrassed that I walked through the bushes to make it look like I didn't care that I was embarrassed and I fell and twisted my ankle in the bushes. I had surgery on that ankle twice and if the bone wasn't so calcified from all of that then I am absolutely certain I would've broken it again. It hurt like nobody's business and everyone was so sweet asking if I was ok. I recovered and kept walking without looking behind me like it was no big deal. Through the tears I yelled "yes I am just fine thank you for your concern"... even though it was painful I can laugh about it now. I felt like an idiot!

I have two.

Getting tricked into wearing a blue shirt with a pelican on it advertising my MIL's quilting business. I was told all 11 of use would have one. Only 5 of us did. MIL's husband (step-FIL ) didn't even wear one. I hate that shirt.

Hiding in the ice cream store on Main Street while my SIL has a hissy-fit outside. This was our last day in WDW during our vacation (until we snuck a DHS day in the next week).

Both of these were during the same trip.

Mine was this past Sunday when just as the very crowded bus left Hollywood Studios to head to Pop Century my 4 year old son threw up EVERYWHERE. Everyone around us was gagging and covering their faces while I sat there covered in vomit hoping that we would get there very soon.

I feel your pain! My son threw up on the flight back from WDW, one of those things we will never forget. At least you were on your way back to the resort.

In 2005 at PoP (first time on-property, BTW), Mrs. Homie and I were spending the afternoon at the pool, drinking adult beverages. We had stocked up at Wal-Mart in Kissimmee, and all we had were glass bottles. We were being good boys and girls and filling plastic cups in our room so we wouldn't anger Mickey by bringing glass to the pool area. After a while I grew tired of this and went to my room a grabbed a bottle of beer and brought the bottle to our table by the pool. Mrs. Homie was about to have a heart attack, but I told her everything would be fine as long as we didn't call attention to ourselves.

Within ten seconds, I had knocked the beer off the table. Beer and glass EVERYWHERE! I had no choice but to find a CM and fess up to what I'd done. Fortunately, she was cool about it, but she made it abundantly clear that there were to be no more bottles at the pool. Mrs. Homie was dying of embarassment . And of course, I felt extremely , not to mention the fact that I was a 35-year-old man who had just gotten told off by a girl who couldn't have been a day over 19.

We were eating at Tonys in MK when my then 9yo daughter saw Jiminey Cricket outside. We went outside to see him to take a pic. She went running towards him and yelled his name. He spun around and knocked his head into her head so hard that she fell on the ground! Both of us were laughing so hard that she couldn't get off the floor!!
When she finally did gain control and got up to take a pic, he moved closer to say he was sorry and stomped on her foot. Needless to say the whole crowd was laughing too! She was very embarrased!

Alright, I've never posted in these before, but I've got a couple from one of our last trips to share.

I was at WDW with my DSis, DBIL, DNeice (5) and DNephew(2). We spent a LOT of time in Fantasy Land that trip. Anyways, at some point my sister and I decided to run off to the bathroom and meet the rest of the group back at the Honeypot ride. Yep you guessed it... one of us (can't recall who) turned back to my DBIL and loudly confirmed, "ok so we're going to go to the restroom and Pooh?!"

The rest of my sister's in-laws were also on that trip. At one point most of the adults (sis, BIL, BIL's brother, his wife, and me) all went to ride the Haunted Mansion. Well, I'm a chicken and that ride still freaks me out, so I was joking around with everyone and rushing towards the (line-less) ride. Well since the line had recently been really long, they had extended the queue by putting those waist height poles in the ground with ropes attached. By the time we were there, the ropes had been taken down, but the poles were still there. In my rush to get to the ride before I lost my nerve, I didn't notice the poles. One second I'm power walking toward the ride, laughing with someone behind me; next second I'm doubled over one of those poles like a cartoon character! I saw it RIGHT before I hit it (as my sister screamed out for me to look out), and I literally folded over it! Completely knocked the wind out of me, and I could hardly walk. Ended up laughing so hard I was crying! I had a beautiful bruise just above my belly button from that.

THEN in the whole lead up/growing room part, when the lights went out my sister, knowing I was fully freaked out, thought it would be funny to grab me in the pitch black knowing I would scream. However, she misjudged where I was standing, and I ended up getting something grabbed on my top half that really shouldn't be grabbed in public (if you get my drift). I about screamed, but I heard her chuckle and knew it was her. The best part was hearing her chuckle cut off and feel her suddenly let go and whisper through major laughter "I'm so sorry!!! I was reaching for your arm! Please tell me that was your arm!" when she realized what she'd grabbed. Lights came back on and we were doubled over with laughter not really wanting to just shout to our group that my sister copped a feel in the middle of the Haunted Mansion!

How's that old saying go? .....I know! "A bull in a china shop!"

My DH and I know all about this!! In 2007 we were at DTD in the shop that has all the porceiln characters - Well, DH is the Fire Chief of our local Fire Department and he spotted a firefighter Goofy. He goes over to pick one up, and knocks the WHOLE shelf down which then knocks the shelf below it down and so on and so forth.....He tried to pick them up, but the CM that came over said 'Sir, it's okay, just let ME handle it!" DH was so embarrassed!! We still laugh about it - !! LOL

I think mine would have to be standing in line for Peter Pan roughly 30 minutes before the nightly showing of Wishes (this comes into play in a few minutes). I am holding my 2 year old when it all of a sudden gets much warmer. At first I don't think anything of it, it's early October in Florida and I'm carrying a 2 year old, safe to say it's hot. But it was not until it was pointed out that my entire shirt was wet in the front, yes that is right the diaper (or pull-up...can't remember at this point) did not hold. My shirt was entirely soaked.

Now, this is where the time comes into play. Because of the time being so close to Wishes and our location our options were limited. First I attempted to clean myself up and the Pinnochio Village Haus bathrooms, no luck. Second, we tried to get to a gift shop to buy a shirt of some sort that would releave me of my wetness. Again no luck, with most of Fantasyland roped off for Wishes and no clear cut route to Main Street I was stuck wearing my wetness until basically it was completely dry. Joyful, no...an unforgetable experience, yes.

We did finally make it to Main Street and got the shirt (had to stand in the longest line ever to pay), so I do have a perpetual reminder of that day
