My most embarrassing moment at Disney, share yours!!

[Mom2Stitch]

It is a long running joke in my family that water will always find a way to me. The spitting camel in Adventure land-gets me every time. DTD Stitch-yep. No matter where I sit on Splash, front-back-middle-that will be the seat that gets it. Every.single.time.

EPCOT should be safe though right? Um, no.

Couple of years ago on the way out of Epcot we stop to watch the Fountain dance to the music. I was really into what was going on, but noticed that DH and DS had moved the grandkids back away from the rail where I was standing. The music had ended and I heard a loud BOOM. That BOOM was the final large blast of water going waaaay up. Whatever goes up, must come down. By the time I realized that I was going to get it, it was too late to move. It was like someone dumping a swimming pool full of water over my head. I was soaked head to toe, heck I couldn't have been any wetter if I taken a swim IN the fountain. From behind me I hear my family laughing hysterically at me and I hear this complete stranger on his phone talking to someone about how soaked this lady just got at the fountain
I asked DH and DS why they had moved, they said that while I was so involved with the "show" they had realized how wet the ground was on that side of the fountain and knew what that meant. When I asked them why they didn't tell me the answer was "and miss this, no way!!"

On the way out of the park that day I had lots of strange looks being drenched to the bone like I was.

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.

Glad I'm not the only one randomly hugging strangers!

If we've learned anything from this thread, it is to always confirm the identity of your loved ones before hugging them.....or shouting out armadillo greetings!

I have accidentally walked into the women's restroom. I didn't realize it until I looked up and saw rows of stalls and no urinals. And what felt like 20 pairs of women's eyes looking at me. Only thing I could say was sorry and find a men's room in a totally different part of the park.

Ouch!

This didn't happen at Disney but I once at the movies accidentally drank not once, not twice, but three times out of the drink of the person next to me.

It was a good movie, she never noticed and I didn't know quite what to say.

Oh I would DIE- I can't even drink after my husband without gagging!! I probably would have puked the minute I realized it was a strangers cup lol!!!

Not really embarrassing, more funny, but...

Ours last trip my DS was 9 years old, and thought he was too cool for character meets. My girls and my niece were all in line to meet Aladdin and jasmine, when DS comes up and decides he wants to meet them too. We get to the front of the line, and my son steps up to Aladdin and asks "what's up street rat?" We all stood there in shock for a minute, then burst out laughing so hard! Even Aladdin said that was a first for him!

We had a first floor room patio at the polynesian by the quiet pool. It was great to be able to just walk right outside the sliding door to the pool. After the swim I ended up walking straight thought the patio door to the bathroom... OF SOMEONE ELSES ROOM

haha! You should have just gone with it and called the people "cousin" and told them that O'hana means family and no one gets left behind from using the restroom.

Does dcl count if so dh and I went to a adult show wondering how bad could it be trust me it was so bad we still laugh about it

We took a trip in April 2009. My DD was just a little older than 3.5yo. She had been potty trained since she was 2.5yo and hadn't had an accident since the summer of 2008. After a busy morning in the parks we came back to WL after lunch and decided to go swimming. We were there for about an hour and I was in the deeper section of the pool with my DS and DH was with DD on the stairs. Out of the corner of my eye I see my DH suddenly snatch DD out of the pool, wrap her in a towel and race back towards the hotel. I make my way over to get out of the pool when the lifeguard starts blowing her whistle telling everyone to get out. That's when I see it. Little brown chunks floating in the water. The pool was shut down for the rest of the day and did not open up until the following afternoon. I have never been so thoroughly embarrassed in my life. My kid shut down the WL pool

Back in Dec my mom, DH, DS & DD & I stayed one night at Asmu before transferring to POR, we checked in got our room numbers & keys. Went to the building we thought was ours & went to open one of the doors when I saw someone inside laying on the bed & told my mom " no wait, stop they gave us the wrong room number!" So all 5 of us go back to check in only to find out we misread the numbers, all five of us... We all felt pretty stupid.. Lol

I would have to say when I went in 1974 when I went. I was about 7 or 8. Well my brother was 5 at the time and he was the worse. We went on Mission to Mars. (now Stitchs Great Escape) He cried because he thought we actually left earth. The seats sank in thinking you were actually moving.

Then we got on Peter Pan. Thought we were flying high in the sky

Then we got stuck in the Haunted Mansion for about 10-15 mins. Hollered like the devil was on his heels. '

And the topper......Sitting in the restaurant. Don't remember which one and loudly proclaimed.....ROACH!!!!

Love my brother dearly. One of the best times we had.

I love this thread!!! Ok I will share mine.....my DS had been rather bouncy all day and driving me crazy.Well we were in line for backlot tour and I had zone out for a bit well in the corner of my eye I see my son doing something he was not suppose to do so I snapped and told him to stop it and put my hands on his arm only to discover it was not my DS who was causing the problem. I was so embrassed, the sad thing is his mother never even notice!

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...

I almost peed myself when I read this. Every time I think about it, I start to laugh again.

If there was anyway possible to portray the look of that poor man I would do it lmao
