Most Embarressing Moments at Disney

[pianoronni37]

Oh dear....

This past January, when DH and I were in WDW, we went to Tom Sawyer's Island for the first time.

We were having a great time touring the island, the mines, the bridges, and so forth. Then I happened to notice the mountain top of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and as I was trying to get my husband to notice, I fell down 3 or 4 rocky steps.

Not even the worst part - on the way down, I scream "Oh, SH**!"

As I gather my bearings, I look up and see a few people (families) looking back at me, but because of my outburst, no one asked if I was okay. I had some pretty skinned knees and elbows, but I like to look at it as if that's the way Tom Sawyer woulda wanted it!!

Next time I fall.. I'm going to keep my thoughts to myself.

My most embarrassing moment happened a few years ago. I was with my mom and 2 nieces (DN4 and DN10). We were at one of the parks (can't remember which) running to catch the bus back to the hotel. I thought I had seen it pull up to the bus stop and was telling everyone to run. So my oldest niece is running, I'm running behind her and my younger niece and my mom is behind me. DN10 ducks under the poles and (I really should have known better b/c I am not as agile as she is) as I try to follow her I lost my footing and fell down flat onto my face. DN10 looks back and starts yelling, Auntie are you ok, what happened?? and then helps me up off the ground. I was so embarassed, especially since the bus hadn't pulled into our spot but the one next to it. I had to stand there feeling mortified in front of the other people that were in the other bus lanes trying to act like nothing happened.

The same thing happened to me last year. Don't know why I tried to go under but I fell on my knee and my family was asking if I was OK and I said "NO, I just fell on my knee". I didn't think much about it until hours later when we were at Epcot and I was sitting on a bench close to a kiosk and I started laughing. The guy was looking at me funny because I was laughing hard and all by myself.

Thanks. I had to bribe DN10 not to tell anyone when we got home what had happened.

I have another one. Not me, but my Dsis. In May 2010 while we were at AK my sister took the wrong stroller from the stroller park at the Killamanjaro Safari. She was driving in from GA and had forgotten to bring the double stroller for the kids (Dnep4 and Dniece2). So we picked up a cheap pink stroller from Walmart. I told her to write her name on the stroller, but she said no need. I insisted that we needed some way to differentiate the stroller from others.

So as we were walking thru the lobby at Pop to the bus stop a DVC CM gave the kids some stickers. Dniece2 started putting the stickers on the strollers. I thought, what a good idea. This is how we call tell our strollers from others. I place the stickers all over the handle of the stroller with lots of Minnies- Dniece2 favorite character.

Well after we got off the Safari and Dsis went to get the stroller. She puts Dniece2 inside to sit and I start to push. I look down at the handle and there's only stickers of Pluto and Goofy. I said, "this is the wrong stroller. I told you, you should have written your name on it." Dsis looks at me and says "But its got stickers on it." I said "Not the right stickers." So we back track to the stroller park. There is no other pink Wlamart strollers with minnie stickers on them. I laughed so hard b/c Dsis had taken a stroller than was much older and not as clean as than the one we had.

I've read this whole thread now, it's had me in fits of laughter, with whoever is around me looking at me like I'm ten different kinds of crazy! Let's keep it going!!!

My embarrassing story goes along with all the previous bird ones

My first trip to WDW was for New Years 06/07 with my best friends family. We were on one of the walking safari trails in AK, and we were standing in one of the bird enclosement thingy's, I think her parents were looking at the park map for some reason... not the best place to stop and do this! Anyways my friend and I are standing there and all of a sudden I felt something on my head, I made and awful face, as I just knew a bird had pooped on my head, and at the same time my friend made the same awful face... yup a different bird had pooped on her head at the exact same time! We had to ask her mom for some tissue and as both her parents stood there cracking up, we had to clean off each others' head's... so gross!!!
The rest of that trail every time we had to go threw one of those bird places we grabbed one of those cards that tells you about all the birds and such, held it over our head and ran to the other side to wait for her parents... I now refuse to go on those walking safari's!

My younger daughter did (still) have diarrhea of the mouth. Whatever was in her head would come out her mouth...no matter how offensive. We were at one of the QS restaurants in MK. The tables were VERY close together. I saw the woman first (her face looked as if she had cosmetic surgery gone wrong) and PRAYED my daughter wouldn't! Well, she did. With her chin in her hand, she ever so slowly turned her head in the direction of the woman. Without missing a beat (and quite loudly, I must add), my 'precious' 3 year old yells "THAT is the UGLIEST woman I ever saw!" I could have died on the spot.

Last time we went my dd had just finished doing BBB and the castle, she was tired so she fell asleep in her stroller. Her dress was too puffy for me to use the seatbelt but i figured she would be fine, she wasn't! We hit a bump and she fell flat on her face in the middle of main street. Getting help for a kid with a bump and bleeding proved to be super hard, no one seemed to care like it was a normal thing for kids to get hurt and I was so embarassed. Her pictures for the week were messed up Next time, no puffy dresses for us.

A few years ago DH and I were about to get in line for POTC when DD, age 3 at the time, says she has to go potty. She had just gone literally 10 minutes before and there was no wait for the ride. I told her she could hold it for a few minutes. Well, that was a BAD ride to tell her to hold it on considering the water gushing all around her! DH was holding her on his lap when about halfway through the ride he goes, "Oh no." He lifts her up and his whole lap is covered in pee! When we got off the ride I started laughing hysterically. He did not think it was so funny! It was all over the front of shorts and it looked like he was the one who had peed. He was so embarassed. He had to walk clear back to the car and back to the hotel to change and he said he got lots of chuckles and looks. Luckily, I had brought a change of clothes for DD because I knew accidents can happen! I just didn't think it would happen on poor DH! We still tease her whenever we go on that ride that she peed on her poor dad.

I think it was when we were there in 2000 and I cannot remember which park we were leaving but I wanna say Animal Kingdom. We went to where the buses pick you up and for some reason there was only one young couple waiting usually there is more people waiting? So my husband decides to jump up and sit ontop of one of the rails used to corral people in line. Well he lost his balance and swung down hanging on and is now upside down like a bat. He was so embarrassed but I couldn't stop laughing at least he didn't get hurt goober

I'll share my DW's most embarrassing moment...

We were at DTD eating at Cookes of Dublin (which by the way was very good). My DW had our DS, who was 9 months old at the time, strapped on her tummy in a Bjorn. While we were eating DS had a little toot and we thought it was funny and continued eating. We start walking out the door and my wife realizes that DS had a diaper explosion! Not only was there crap all over DS, but also over the carrier and DW. The only choice we had was to walk through DTD with people giving my wife funny looks to get back to our car, where we had lots of wipes, paper towels, and trash bags. While we were carefully cleaning up, someone decided to wait for our parking spot; after 10-15 minutes of waiting they finally realized we weren't leaving yet. My wife told me later that she was so glad that we'd never see any of those people ever again. This was also one situation where we were very glad we drove instead of taking the bus.

I found this thread yesterday morning and got hooked! Read all 59 pages today! Such funny stories! Thanks all for sharing - we're headed to the world in September, and with 2 kids, I'm sure I'll have a story or two to share.

This is a most embarrassing story for my brother

We were at wdw in 1999 with all my siblings and our dad. My brother is 11 years older than i am so not like he is a kid lol

Anyway we were at blizzard beach and we were all riding the team boatride thing. At the end of the slide there is a section where the water boils backto slow the boat. Well my brother decided to be a smarty and push down the side of the boat so all the water would rush in and soak us. Only he didnt think it through lol. We hit that spot and he leaned on the wLl of the boat not expecting it to just stop dead in its tracks.

My brother went toppling right out of the boat and we all laughed so hard we almost died
