Most Embarressing Moments at Disney

Bumping
There Are Too Many REALLY FUNNY Stories To Be Ignored

I didn't think I had one, but then I remembered...

There were three of us - my brother, my sister, and I - and we were only about 3 years apart in age. I can't remember how old we were, but I feel pretty sure we were all under 12. We are at Epcot for the first time and are going on the Spaceship Earth ride. Pretty mild, right? My parents ride in one buggy and we three kids in the other.

As it has every time I think I've ridden Spaceship Earth, the ride stopped. For about 5 minutes. And we three kids panicked. Here we are, screaming and crying, and our parents are in another buggy shouting, "Sh! It's okay! Be quiet! We'll start moving again in a minute! WOULD YOU KIDS SHUT UP!?!?"

Ride starts again and miraculously we all live, even after our parents get a hold of us after we get off.

I invited my immediate, family to Disney World, with us, last year. The entire trip was shameful Now, I can never show my face at the BCR because my brother dared my sister to ask 10 men, if they thought she was sexy... super fool did this all the way to dinner at Cape May's; Blizzard Beach gives me memories I don't need or want; My aunt was wearing waaaayyy too much make-up, drunk out of her mind and my brother kept yelling to her, to "work that walk". My mother was so angry, she told her, she looked like a retarded prostitute, that didn't realize it was time to get out of the game- btw, we were on the tram to MK, during this uncomfortable conversation and my first thought, ever, of suicide . I almost cried because there wasn't enough pixie dust in the world, to take me away from my sister and sil, while standing in line at BTRRM- during extra magic hours, so the lines wasn't the problem, they were ; I'm looking forward to going back to DHS, because last year, DH and I were duped into watching all of my nieces and nephew, the entire day (My siblings lied and said they were going to the restroom, then never came back. We found out, later that evening, they went to the water parks and left their kids with us ); To top things off, the day we all left, my siblings came to our room at the BC and asked to borrow $243 because they "went over on their room charges"

This year, DH, DS and I are going back and we have gone to great lengths to keep this vacation the secret of our lives We've decided they wouldn't be invited to ride along to the supermarket with us , let alone, our future vacations.

BTW, I just typed up the mild version and skipped a several events, because almost a year later, I'm still trying not to get angry, all over again. Did I mention, DH and I paid for the entire trip, for everyone .... okay, okay, I'm done... think happy thoughts, breathe in, think happy thoughts, breathe out, think happy thoughts.....

After that trip, you and your DH deserve to go on a Disney Cruise

Oh my stars! I think, if anyone, you should deserve the best prize of them all during the Year of a Million Dreams. May your next trip be sprinkled over and over with pixie dust.

OH MY HECK!!! How awful!

I promise if you take my family you'd have a great time! But seriously how rude of your family especially since you were paying, sorry that happened!

Ok I have a funny story, not Disney at all but just the other night, DD had put her big bottle of gatorade in the freezer. I took it out to thaw. WEll DS10 picks it up to look at it half melted. He says looks like there is something in it (yeah, gatorade, LOL) he turns it upside down over his face....yep top was loose. Gatorade all down his face, all over the kitchen floor and me laughing till I couldn't breathe! Oh he was so made at me for laughing, but it was so funny!

[pkondz]

Most Dads’ do. They have an innate sense of how best to embarrass their kids.

But I have a couple to add... They are no where near funny like these other posts.

This past January,08 I went to Disney World with my sister & her hubby & kids. They were meeting up with a couple of other families there too. One day we went to Animal Kingdom and beat them all there there so we rode Safari, after we got off we met up with the other families who wanted to ride Safari so I offered instead of riding again to go over to get fast passes for everyone at Everest. (nice though..huh?: )..well I returned before they got off the ride and waited patiently on a bench by the park exit..
Don't you know while I am there waiting alone I felt something on my head... A big ol'e bird came by and pooped on my head right after this happened our group came walking out and i said "I think I just got pooped on" leave it to my loving sister to just laugh and dig out her camera to take a picture. It was her friend that cleaned my head with a baby wipe After I was sitting there thinking if they hadn't come right off the ride would I turn to a complete stranger and ask if i'd just been pooped on?

January 1997
same sister and I are walking down main street magic kingdom just before the 3pm parade. The sidewalks are lined up with guests... we go into main street bakery and get freshly baked choc.chip cookies with a big slab of vanilla icecream we come out to walk back up towards the castle by walking in the middle of the road.... my sister asked me for a bite of my snack and when I went to hand it to her (as we're walking side by side) a nasty bird comes up from behind us, hit us both in the head with his wings, and took my icecream sandwich! everyone started laughing..

March 1999
walking around Caribbean Beach Resort it is me and my very laid back husband. Picture the beautiful day...we're happy to be in the warm weather taking in the beautiful scenery of the water when my husband says duck. Very calmly..like an observation. So I look around, just then a big duck comes and hits me in the head! my husband says.. "i said duck".. I said no you said "duck" you should have said "DUCK"..

Come to think of it, I think I have bird issues at Disney

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

OMG That same kind of thing happened to my sister! She was about 5 years old and had just gotten her very own turkey leg. She was so proud of that thing! We were walking through the Liberty Square area and right after the poor baby took the first bite this huge bird swooped down and took the whole leg from her!

Maybe Disney needs to make a new attraction based on Hithcock's "The Birds"

Heh! Universal used to have that awesome Hitchcock show, with a 3-D scene from "The Birds"...I sat through more than one show where the audience got freaked out!

Which reminds me of a funny unrelated to Disney story. Years ago, my mom even worked with someone who apparently had been so scared by this movie as a child, anything having to do with birds freaked her out. My mom didn't know this, and one day shows up wearing a bird pin on her lapel. Her co-worker FREAKED out and started screaming and wouldn't stop until my mom took the pin off.

If you ever need to get "even" with her for any reason send her to Disney with me... that'll get her

My DMIL is afraid of birds or anything that flutters. I didn't witness this, but when she was out camping with her family many years ago. Her boys thought it would be cute to throw bread towards her. The birds of course surrounded her. She ended up wrapping herself around the axle of the family van and some poor stranger had to help pry her lose.

I just remembered this one. . . . My parents and DH and I were having lunch at Pinochio Village Haus in MK. DH sat the tray down, he had ordered Sprite and I ordered iced tea. So I grabbed the dark colored drink, dumped in two Splenda packets and stirred it with the straw. It erupted like a volcano! It was apparently Diet Coke. Mom and I both screamed and jumped away from this huge foamy mess. DH was telling me to "drink it down," but it was going so fast it was running all over the table and onto the floor. All I could do was get out of the way. Anyway the CMs were nice to help us clean up and even gave me the iced tea I had originally ordered. But it was quite a scene there for a few minutes. Not quite like the Mentos in the 2-liter, but close.

uh..oh.. This was my post and I just realized that next Jan/Feb. I am going to Disney with my dsil who is freaked out by birds
maybe I shouldn't tell her about these...she might not want to go with 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.

Love this story! Our family rule (yes, I am an ogre) is that we all ride whatever everyone wants at least once. After that, they may elect to skip any subsequent re-rides. My youngest DS had just gotten big enough to ride TOT, and his older brothers were so excited to go as an entire family. Well, as you might imagine, we all rode, and excitedly re-entered immediately for the re-ride. DS did not object, and the rest of the trip, my darling redhead would enthusiastically burst out that he "Hated it BOTH times!" We still laugh about that, would have let him pass if he had asked!

Oooohhh! I like this rule. Implementing it now!

Nothing like throwing Mom under the bus
