Will do

This is the best thing I've ever read on the Dis Boards, I'm sure of it. That is *so* something my husband and I would have done, and we totally would have had the wrong elevator, too. We're going for Christmas this year --- I promise to randomly accost someone with a holiday armadillo greeting (no promises on the costume).

Haha that could be a new Secret Disney Greeting!

That's be hilarious. Dont forget to add in the jazz hands! We always look for armadillos now!

On our last night we said 'goodbye Holiday Armadillo' as we were walking back to the room and a man behind us chuckled and said 'great show.' Totally gave that guy a mental fist bump.

Not exactly embarrassing for me, however.... Having been picked for the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor twice now to dance for everyone, which I will happily do, I have found that it is a funny way to oddly enough be recognized throughout the day. Even walking back to my room at the AKL I was stopped by a guy that asked if it was me he saw dancing earlier, and told me that his kid loved it and said thanks and good job lol.

I have two funny stories and one magical one.

We went to Disney on our honeymoon 30 years ago. Dh and I got off the monorail and were walking across the platform. I slipped my arm around dh's waist and said " I really love you" Problem was it wasn't my dh!

Second one was in Epcot in front of Rose and Crown. We were waiting on our ADR when the weather got bad. I was standing in the middle of the kinda roadway there when the biggest flash of lightening and crack of thunder hit. I shrieked and literally jumped from the middle of the road to in front of the podium in one move. My family was laughing so hard they couldn't breathe

The magical one was when we renewed our vows on our 20th anniversary. We had renewed at Leu Gardens and came back to the Poly in a Limo. We got out and entered the GCH to go to Ohana for our after renewal reception. I had my gown and my tiara on and as I walked through the lobby a little girl stopped, looked up, at me, tugged on her mom's shirt, and said " Look mommy it's one of the Princesses!"

I have another one. When my eldest was little he had bladder issues. It got to the point that we knew where every bathroom was in every park except Hollywood Studio's. Well you can guess what happened. We were with friends this trip and on a limited budget. We ran into one of the shops to get him something to wear as we were staying offsite at that time and didn't want to go all the way back to the hotel. I searched and searched for something we could afford and finally found something on the sale rack. I quickly bought it, ran ds to the bathroom, and changed him. About ten minutes later my friend leans over to me and says " Is there any particular reason Ryan is wearing pajamas in the park. What I thought in haste was a short set was actually a short pajama set when you really looked at it. Luckily ds was small enough we could get away with it.

Oh and the best one. I am terrified of heights even perceived ones. Well we get onto Peter Pan's Magic Flight and I am perfectly fine until the part where it appears that you are flying over England. Mind you we are actually only 6 feet off the ground. I immediately start to freak and cry that I want to get off the ride NOW. Between peals of laughter dh is trying with no luck to calm me down and the kids are laughing hysterically and I actually hear the people behind us giggling. The ride finally ends and I make haste to the exit with dh, my two ds's and a couple of other people all laughing behind me. Dh walks up to me and says " Do you realize you have to be the only adult that has ever totally freaked out on a Fantasyland ride??" and starts laughing again. That comment garnered him a swift heart thump from me. LOL

Don't go on E.T. You will

Oh that Peter Pan story reminds me of this:

DH and I went with another couple, our best friends, and it was the first time at WDW for her. She'd been to DL a few times (used to live in LA) but this was her first ride on Peter Pan. Now, she's a HUGE Tink fan and was really excited about the whole experience until she notices there's no track up ahead. She's in the boat behind DH and I and we hear:

"Where's the track? What happened to the track? We're gonna fall!!"

Her husband is trying to distract her with the little Tink that's just about eye level in that first room, but she's working herself up into panic mode. Just as you switch to the overhead track, she gives a little squeal. Every once in while through the entire ride we still hear "But where's the Track?"

We turn around after getting off the boat and her DH is trying very hard not to laugh hysterically as she FINALLY lets his arm go, safe at last.

She did finally see that Tink when they rode PP again, later that trip.

This is my BEYOND embarrassing story. I was at DD with DH shopping at the Christmas store. Suddenly I did not feel well and did the "wide eyes" to my hubby to signal the rumbly in my tumbly was not from hunger. I made a mad dash to the restrooms beside the writer's shop. This restroom only has 2 maybe 3 stalls. I barely made it in time. Finished my business and went to flush. To my horror the water started to come up. I'm thinking NO NO NO!!!! I didn't know what to do but get the heck out of dodge. I opened the stall to see a HUGE line of women waiting for the facilities as "water" started to flood the bathroom. I ran out and grabbed DH yelling "we got to go!!!" Shuffling and hanging my head in shame we left.

That actually happened to me when I was a little kid in a restaurant bathroom and it scared me so badly that it took years for my mother to get me to go into a public restroom again. LOL

The thought of peeling moleskin off of already skinned, scratched or blistered skin is making me It's supposed to go on the thing that is bothering your skin, the inside of your shoes, the inside of your clothes. It can go your foot skin if the skin is intact. Like if you put it on your third toe to keep your blistered fourth toe from rubbing.

I walked under a tree at HS and into a branch that cracked me right on top of the head. I was fine, but that hurt. I yelled OW and all these people came running towards me to see if I needed help. I was OK, but had to convince a well meaning guest I didn't need a doctor.

 

[disfreak2]

At the end of an exhausting week at Disney trip several years ago I lost both my crabby husband and kids while we were walking towards the gates at MK. I spotted my hubby leaning against a railing with his back to me. I decided to walk up behind him and give him a hug. As I was getting closer I noticed how gray his hair is turning and how the shirt he was wearing looked like it was a different color in the sunlight. I proceeded to walk up and press myself against his back and wrap my arms around him. He jumped and turned around and only then did I realize that it was some man I had never seen before in my life. He just looked at me and I literally could not utter an intelligible syllable. I kept saying "uh, uh, uh" until he finally walked away. I didn't even apologize. And as I turned to watch him walk away I spotted my husband and kids who were standing several yards away with their mouths hanging open. They had witnessed the whole thing. None of them were amused. I laughed for hours about it.

I find the best way to apply moleskin is to cut TWO pieces. One piece should be big enough to cover the affected area. The other should be a little bigger than the first. You take the smaller piece and put it DIRECTLY on the blistered spot, but place if soft side down/sticky side UP. Then you can put the larger piece of moleskin sticky side down over the first to affix it to your skin.

We were staying at the Poly and wanted to eat at 'Ohana's for dinner. We didn't have ressies so while my DH was at the room I decided to walk over to the GCH to see if we could get a walk up ressie. I was able to get one and had to go back to our room to let the family know. I wound up falling down the first flight of steps (in front of 'Ohana's). I went end over end - I wound up spraining my ankle pretty bad but I declined medical treatment. All I wanted to do was get back to my room. So many people came up to me to help me but I was MORTIFIED!!! I was in tears both from pain and embarrassment.

You know it's funny you say this (not that you were hurt), because I have actually wondered how many people have tripped on those stairs while at the Poly before. Strange as I don't think that on stairs normally, but for some reason those stairs brought that question out of me even though I haven't tripped on them (that I remember)

On our first trip at All Star Movies we came upon an armadillo. Our natural reaction (as anyone's would be) was to run around during the week, randomly chanting 'it's the Holiday Armadillo!' (Friends tv show reference). A few days into the trip we were getting back to the resort. My husband dropped us off and went to go park. As he was coming up to the building he saw the elevator closing and caught a glimpse of us. Being the oh so hilarious chap he is, my husband ran up the stairs and waited in front of the elevator. The moment the doors opened he did his variation of jazz hands and yelled 'IT'S THE HOLIDAY ARMADILLO!!!'

Sadly for him, we were already on our room. The poor father he had just accosted grabbed his young children in a mixture of fear and defense. Mortified, my husband just sprinted back to our room. We never did see that family again...

This is hilarious. I read it last night and it's still making me laugh.

My story took place about three years ago. We we meeting my sister, BIL, SIL, niece, and nephew at AKL. Our flight got in first, and we had a car pick us up so we could stop at the grocery and get some wine, cheese, and snacks for the kids. My husband stayed in the car while I shopped. I came out carrying two bottles of wine, a chunk of cheddar, and some goldfish crackers. Too focused on finding the car, I missed part of the curb and went flying. Smashed one of the bottles of wine, and lost a few patches of skin on my elbow and right hand.

Because we were staying CL, we got an escort to our room at AKL. I can only imagine what the CM thought of the smell. I was drenched in wine (white wine, thank goodness), had blood running down my arm, and was followed by my three children, who were 3, 6, and 7 at the time.

Perhaps this was more awkward than embarrising but one time while waiting in a line at Indiana Jones a lady was in front of us and had on a sleeveless t shirt. She had large arms and a whole bunch of nude women tatooed on them. I spent much of the time in line trying to block my 4 small children from seeing them.

The line seemed longer than it really was.

Mine happened last year...

On the day we were leaving we had breakfast at GFC. We were staying at WL so we had taken a boat to CR then the monorail to GF. If you all are familiar with CR, there's a huge flight of concrete steps out back towards the boat dock. We were heading out the back of CR to catch our boat, cup of left over apple slices from breakfast in hand and the winds blowing my hair in my face. I totally do not see steps coming and go tumbling, falling head first into the railing, apple slices going everywhere! Random people are just standing and staring a few steps further... I was sore for a good week after! Thankfully it was on the last day! DH refers to the incident as "riding Tumble Mountain".

Ooh, does traveling to WDW count?!?

We stopped for gas and while I filled up, dh ran in the store to get a snack. It was rather busy, so once we got gas, I pulled around to the front. A car of my same make, model, and color pulled into the pump I'd vacated. I see dh walking towards it, thinking he'd realize it wasn't ours. No, he opened the door! I laid on the horn! Another person pumping gas started laughing, but the car's owner must have been in the store and never saw dh almost get in his car!
