Most Embarressing Moments at Disney

Let’s talk about our most embarrassing moments at WDW. Having been to WDW many times we were excitedly anticipating riding soarin’ again when we arrived at EPCOT. We were in the stand-by line watching the people exiting the ride in the corridor below us. Suddenly the fragrance of oranges wafted up to our eager noses (smelling the oranges as one floats over the orange groves is my favorite part of the ride). Bright eyed, I excitedly declared to those in line around me, “Oh my gosh! I can smell the oranges from the orange groves on the people leaving! Smell! You can smell the oranges! Smell it? Smell it?” Nobody seemed particularly enthralled. I turned around to face the front of the line when I caught the scent even stronger. Beside me and a little behind me were two children peeling and sharing an orange. I had been yelling about smelling oranges from the ride and everyone else could see that an actual orange was present. I felt like crawling into a hole.

I took my sons ages 5 and 13 months for their first WDW trip. I invited my Mother to come along since she is a huge Disney fan. Well...I can't begin to tell you how excited we were our first day. We went to Animal Kingdom and my Mom was even dressed in this cute jumper skirt with animal prints. We were in the Disney spirit. Well...we did a child swap for Dinosaur and came out the exit towards the other rides in Dinoland. Well there was this cool dinosaur behind the gift shop and my five year old started climbing up it. Mom was so worried that he was going to fall she went to watch him and tripped backwards over the tail, fell, and landed legs up in the air. It was so scary, but she started laughing hysterically. So then my five year old and even my 13 months old were laughing, too. Luckily she wasn't too hurt...she had some big bruises (mostly her ego of course) and no one was around to witness.
The worst part is that I was pushing the stroller and videotaping as we were walking and got the whole thing on tape.
This back in 2001 and we all still laugh hysterically when we watch it, even Mom. It has become one of our favorite Disney memories and everyone tells us we should put it on Americas Funniest Home Videos because it is so funny.

Last January, just my middle DS and I went to the World. We were at AK and decided to eat lunch at Flame Tree BBQ. Well, I didn't think it through in the slightest and pushed his stroller up to the order and pick up area. Um, so how am I supposed to push the stroller out of the small space AND carry a trayful of food? NOT GRACEFULLY, that is for sure! My enormous lemonade (no lids at AK, remember) ended up falling over, soaking all our food and splashing a man next to me. I still feel so awful about it.

Anyway, two very nice employees replaced my food and helped me to a table but everyone in line was staring at me. So embarrassed.

Next time, I am packing my common sense!

Wanted to add ... OP, that Soarin' story made me giggle! Nothing wrong with enthusiasm! LOL!

Great thread, but you MUST read THIS thread too. I don't think I'll ever forget the first post.

This is the funniest thread I have ever read and I am only on page 5.

I have got a good one....of all places to have this happen...
I was standing in line for Aladdin's Carpets at MK, and this lady taps me on the shoulder and says "Excuse me ma'am, I am not sure you know, but do you realize you have a big hole on the back of your pants?". I turned red for a minute, and just knew my hot pink underwear were shining through the hole. I looked behind me, and sure enough, there was about about a 4 inch threaded tear on the back of my jeans where somehow the material just wore through and made a hole. I knew I would have to walk around like that for the rest of the day....I wasn't going to leave and go all the way back to the resort and change my pants, then come all the way back to MK. It was our first day there, and we didn't get there until about 3pm. I just thanked the lady for letting me know and told her that I'd fit right in with the way teenagers dress anymore. She just laughed, so did I. She told me she would want someone to tell her if she had a hole in the back of her jeans, so she just had to tell me. I wasn't going to let it ruin my first day of my vacation! I sure wished I had worn some blue underwear that day, and I got on my boyfriend's case for not noticing it before the lady in line did. It was embarrassing, but I am able to laugh about it.

You are right this IS the funniest thread!! My DD and I are reading it and we have tears running down our face.

When I was 18, I can say that I had an unfortunate experience while walking around the World Showcase at Epcot. My family and I had just ate at the Biergarten Restaurant in Germany and as we were walking around, we kept hearing people snickering about something behind us.

Finally, after a few minutes someone came up and asked my mom if I had a "problem." My mom had no idea what she meant, this person then pointed down to the back of my shorts and my mom also started snicker. She goes--"...did you have an accident?" I replied, "what are you talking about!?!?!?" She than replies, I hate to tell you but it looks like you messed yourself!!"

Next thing you know, now I need to make a trip all the way back to the Wilderness Lodge looking like I messed myself. I heard plenty of comments Along the way...people can be so nasty!!

As we were riding the bus back to the Wilderness Lodge, someone kept saying how the bus smelled like chocolate...ironically, that smell did follow me back to the room!!

Anyway to make a long story short, It was ultimately determined that I sat in part of someone's dessert that must have fallen onto my seat at the Biergarten Restaurant!! That is the problem with self-serve dining locations!!

So the moral of the story, when you hear people snickering be hind you...look to se if you sat in something!!

We were at Disney Studios this past May, me and my oldest DD were waiting for DH and youngest DD to come out of AI, so we were waiting by the GM behind the Hat. Next thing you know my shorts, were around my ankles, thank goodness there were not a lot of people around. My DD, was just as embarrassed as me, cause I started shouting at her to come and help me cause I had my hands full.

This one is on my husband. We had been to SWW in May. Now, for a year now we have been FL residents and probably to WDW 50 times (well I have, not the DH). We normally take my truck with the pirate on the antennae, so it is very easy to spot, but on this day we took his Saturn. It's silver and looks like so many other cars. Now, I don't normally take note of exactly which row we are on, I usually just get a visual of where we park. Can we see DHS or were there trees in the way etc.

Well, after a long hot day we get off the tram. DH swears we were in the next parking lot, but I knew we were in the first one because I could see the gate to DHS, the next parking lot has a row of trees in front of it so that is all you see. So we are wandering around, arguing (across two rows of cars). Another family walks up and asks if we have lost our car. DH says yes. Of course they ask if we have tried pressing the alarm, which DH does. Doesn't work so obviously we aren't close enough and he keeps saying, wrong lot. Finally we find it, just a little further back than we thought. What was funny was DH had on his Air Force t-shirt, and turns out the other family was Navy. The other man said, "Be sure to tell everyone a Navy guy helped you find your car!"

Thank you for telling us because I thought I lost my mind! I knew I posted in a new thread last night. This morning it was in a much longer thread. I feel better now.

these stories are so funny. My most embarrassing moment happened in MK one summer day. My family had done that photopass photoshoot early in the day at the GF & we took the monorail over to MK. I was wearing this pretty white long skirt for the shoot, and although completely impractical for a day at the MK I decided to try and squeeze in a few rides before changing into my park outfit. I split up from DH, who had the backpack with my other outfit and went to Frontierland with DD to ride BTMR. Well, we get off the ride and one of those famous Florida August monsoons hits as we are heading over to meet the rest of the fam. We were completely drenched and my then-6-year-old looks over at me and declares that she can "see my underwear" .
My skirt had become completely transparent and I just wanted to duck out and hide from everyone, but I needed to get my change of clothes from my hubby. It was really mortifying!
