Most Embarressing Moments at Disney

[onehotdisneymama]

Okay here we go with one. Two weeks ago, my DH and DD decided to take me away for 3 days to Disney to celebrate our 32nd anniversary. Our first night there we went to O'hana's for dinner. I had my usual one drink that I allow myself when we visit Disney and the Poly. We were shown to our table and proceeded to devour whatever they brought out. No apologies, we were hungry. Then they started to ask people if they had birthday to please come forward. Ah! how nice. They got sung to. Then they asked for anniverary or newlywed couples. I swear someone else raised my hand. Of course, my DH was So up we got (thinking now that there are other couples following us....) but no..............We were the only couple standing in front of a packed resturant. The CM was polite asked how long we had been married. "32 years", I heard my DH say. Clapping.. Okay I want to sit down now..... No, he had to sing us a song. He even said to dance to this lovely song. (my husband has not danced with me in 32 years, but one time and then he was forced into it.) I feel about this time. He begins to sing....a very slowwww Elvis song. Though it was about Christmas because he was singing about 'wisemen'. I am going okay one chorus and we are out of here. No......he had to sing the whole...song.I kept looking at my husband going, I am sorry. All he did was smile. When we got back to our seats, I said 'okay I am ready to leave now.' We were done eating. My daughter is laughing so hard we had to go to the bathroom. I turned to my husband who was waiting on the check and I said "I stood up there alone with you and you better get me a lei." I am not the kind of person to raise my hand for anything....So me and my DD went to the bathroom and met my husband outside. In his hand he had 3 leis. 32 years still means something.

I know you were embarassed, but overall that's such a sweet story!

The ToT post made me remember this one~
Back in 98 myself, my hubby, my brother and my mom went to wdw for me and hubbys honeymoon, yes honeymoon! Long story short~ always wanted to take mom and bro was finally able, and hubby and I dated for 10 years been before so....why not!

Ok anyway, we knew what ToT was like and so did my bro, now my mom(who can be a little slow to catch on shall we say) had no clue.

So we get in line and we are talking to mom on and on so she dont catch on. Now you would think with all the screaming she would get it....nope! Me and my bro say "oh thats from a different ride" Meanwhile my hubby who likes to "get my mom going" keeps telling her "Sal listen this ride picks you up and drops you really fast, I swear" but knowing my hubby, she choose's to believe us her darling children!

So we go on and that car drops, and I thought they switched mom with a salior! It was hysterical, and thank goodness no children were on that particular ride! we knew she would like it (and still does to this day) but the truth would have never got her on there.

The funniest part was after we unloaded and are on our way out she says "I know you think that was funny but I almost lost my false teeth, I had to put my hand over my mouth and push them back in" Well I think we just about peed our pants~

To this day we say "mom hold your teeth we are doing ToT"

Oh boy, I have not read this whole thread but I have one!! I guess I'm not too embarrassed about it now but 6 years ago I was a tad bit. It was our first trip to WDW, at the time we only had one child DS3. DS was potty training at the time and was doing good with that, in fact to good. So here we are, our first time in the Magic Kingdom, amazed by all of its magic. We were all so excited, DS was so excited he did not want to take the time to got to the bathroom, as we stood looking at the park map, DS got out of his stroller, pulled down his pants and peed right there in public. Before we realized it he had relived himself right there in front of Ariel's grotto! Now we make sure to ask our kids if they need to go potty, cause you never know when they are going to whip it out

I said "I stood up there alone with you and you better get me a lei."

Ok I totally went the wrong direction when I read this

Not terribly embarassing but when we were down last August, my fiances father realized that the "Good morning" song they sing during rope drop at the Magic Kingdom is the same used in a "Male enhancement" commercial here in Canada. The fun part was when he told us and then proceeded to tell everyone around him and about 5 waiters while we were eating through the week, and then the people at concierge at Pop, and then the...

LOL, no one can embarrass you quite like a loved one!

These are sooo funny!

Here is mine:

We were leaving Epcot after Illuminations, and had our son in a stroller...

Funny huh?

Wait, it gets better....

You know how the CM's at Epcot will say "Goodbye Prince (or princess)?

We had one of those, a nice woman from Norway.

She bent down to look at DS (who was 4) and said "Goodbye Prince.." then stood up right away with a sour look on her face, and promptly shot us, his parents, a very nasty look!

Really funny now, right?

It might help you dear readers to understand one thing, well two things.

Thing one: There were toys behind her that he was pointing at.

Thing two: He was in the (horrible) habit of pointing with his middle finger at things he wanted...


We looked down just in time to see that darned finger pointing at those toys and him, obliviously saying "I want that toy.."

That poor woman is in Norway now I bet telling everyone she knows about those little American Brats!

Ummmmm......

Okay here's the story about my little American Brat ...........
DS 3 1/4 years old at the time, walks up to me and is using one hand to fold the fingers on his other hand just so. He's trying to get it so that he can hold up one finger, but not any finger, a particular finger, the one that has the boo boo on it so that he can show it to me and I can kiss it. This is what he showed me. Which I promptly kissed ......... and then I went and got my camera and told him to show me again, when he asked why I told him I had to take a picture of it to show the doctor. I KNOW - I'M BAD!!!!! but it's a great picture!

These are all great! I'll have to make sure I remember anything embarrassing while we are there in June. I have 5 kids....I'm sure there will be MANY opportunities.

 

[iheartaladdin]

so i have two embarssing moments to tell (i'm sure i spelled that wrong) anywho.

1. this one is a story my mom and her parents tell. they where going to MK for the first time in the 70s when it opened with a bunch of other family members. in the excitement of getting to disney they forgot to notice where they parked thier car. all they remembered was that they parked near a tree. well when they were leaving the park that night they realized that are like a million trees. so they spent like an hour looking for the car and then another hour with security. lol. i tease them about it anytime we're in a large parking lot or at disney!

2. so this one doesn't take place at disney but embarssing to me. i had to have been like 8 or 9 years old me and my family were at busch gardens. i was walking with my mom through a playground area. and when she didn't answer me i repeated myself and looked over to the side to realize i was speaking to some stranger in spanish! the stranger and i exchanged akward smiles and i ran to catch up with my family!

Mine goes back quite a few years, when I was like 12-ish we went on MuppetVision, and after the show, my mom asked what I thought, and I replied with

"it was great, and that little guy was talking to me"

and she said what do you mean?? to which I said

"he said 'everyone thinks im talking to them, but im really just talking to you' and pointed right at me"

My dd (4 at the time) said the same thing to me! Her brother (6yo) argued with her - the guy was really talking to him!


And on the embarassing side...
Before we went last year I measured my kids so I could prepare them for the height requirements of some rides. My dd was 39 1/2 inches tall, and in case you didn't know, the requirement for most of the rides is 40 inches. So...we went to Target and bought her a new pair of tennis shoes with TALL soles. She was very excited!

We went to MGM our first full day, and my kids (4 and 6) REALLY wanted to ride TOT. I had never been on it - hadn't heard about it - hadn't been to WDW since 1992 - and I honestly didn't realize how awful the ride was going to be, so we rode it. Well, nobody cried, but my dd held on to me for dear life as we walked out and said "I never want to ride that again!" - NO PROBLEM!!!

A short while later....we are entering the line for Star Tours. DD has no idea what this is but she does NOT want to ride ANYTHING! I told her to just walk with us, thinking we could always do the swap if she didn't change her mind by the time we got up to the ride. Well, they had to measure her before we could enter the queue, and after they ok'ed her and we started to walk toward the ride, she starts yelling back at the CM - "I'M NOT REALLY BIG ENOUGH! IT'S THE SHOES! IT'S THE SHOES! MOMMY GOT ME BIG SHOES!"
I didn't look back, just walked. fast.

LATER: In line for the backlot tour, she overheard two women talking about TOT, notices that they have a young child with them, and starts yelling at them "Hey! You can't take him on Towah of Tewah! (this is when I realize what's going on but I can't make it stop) Hey! It's too scary! Look at me! Hey! I'm bigger than him and it was too scary for me!" These nice women are looking at me like I have 2 heads at this point. Thank goodness the tram showed up then.

THEN on the bus one night she started talking to a kind woman and she is askind DD about the things she's been doing at Disney and... here we go again... dd- "Towah of Tewah is SO SCARY!!" kind lady- "you rode TOT??" (with a disbelieving look at me) dd - "Yes! and it is so scary it will scare your WHOLE ENTIRE PANTS OFF!" - the bus erupted in laughter - dd is very serious.
The kind lady gave her a Tinkerbell toy.
I wanted to crawl under a rock.
I thought about wearing a sign for the rest of the trip - "YES I DID ACTUALLY TAKE THIS PRECIOUS ANGEL ON THE TOWER OF TERROR GOD FORGIVE ME!"
but i didn't.

Thank you jennykay for posting that story! I was down in the dumps tonight and that "towah of tewah" story had me laughing sooooo hard. I really needed it. I can totally imagine my 4 yr old doing that.

Keep 'em coming ya'll!
