Observations, things I saw and wish I didn't

>>> washing out her little girl's underwear in a drinking fountain ... drinking fountains have always seemed a little unsanitary ...

Except for the 1/8 inch part of the nozzle from which the water emerges, your face and all of the water you drink does not touch any part of the fountain mechanism that the underwear touched. And the nozzle was almost instantly washed clean again. By the way, the labyrinth of pipes that a drinking fountain with cooling has inside (and that the dentist's water squirter has inside) once in awhile harbors noxious germs.

One time in an earlier lifetime (before WDW) my kid brother and I were walking at night and he had a flashlight and shone it on some noxious mess (vomit if I recall). He then said he had to shine the flashlight beam all over the place to rinse it off.

>>> woman, top off, washing her body using the restroom sink.

If she had vomited on herself during or after an aggressive ride such as Mission Space, what should she do?

>>> nobody wants to see a 300 pound woman in a bikini (or a 300 pound man in a Speedo)

Either anybody may wear that or nobody may wear that. But anybody can until told to take it off.

>>> on a bench clipping his toenails

I can't do that at WDW anymore. I have always carried a pocketknife to trim off hangnails which I might use anywhere, anytime. Except nowadays they don't allow me to carry the knife on airplanes. (Sorry, I'm too lazy now to go into Photoshop (tm) and upload a picture of the last hangnail to post here and gross you all out with.)

Rileyroosmom . . . I just PM'd you. Love your post!

Oh my gosh Seashore CM I hope you are joking! First if I was sick on a ride, (and I have horrible motion-sickness) I would buy a new shirt! Even after washing it out I can't imagine it would smell too good after some time in the hot Florida sun Second, any maintainence on your body should not be done in public. There is a time and place for everything, and walking thru the park is not the proper place for personal grooming. I can just see you and your knife getting bumped and a finger going flying off! JMHO

Back in 1998 (I believe) when we were staying at ASSp, there was some sort of gas shortage (to the best of my memory) that created a delay in the resorts being able to heat water, etc.

I remember that! Dh and I were on our honeymoon at WL. The natural gas plant was struck by lightening during a really bad storm which knocked out the gas supply to parts of FL. I was amazed at how well Disney handled that.

To the op, thanks for the post...I got a good chuckle! Especially since I just returned last week and also saw some things I wish I hadn't...like a CM picking his nose....and another CM hocking loogies right outside a restaraunt window. Yuck!

IMHO I thought the original post was HYSTERICAL. My only question is " I am 365lb man that rides in a ecv .. I was planning on wearing a bikini to the parks. What color should I wear so it doesnt clash with the ECV?"

Thanks for all who share their experiences, Good AND bad. People-watching definitely adds to the fun of WDW. We still laugh about some things we observed years ago that struck us all as funny. We don't make fun of the person openly, but still get a chuckle.

OP-I enjoyed your post.

I must have missed something because the original posters comments made me laugh out loud. She wasnt trying to offend anyone, and it didnt sound like complaining like I so often read lately. It was funny observations from her trip. Will it stop her from going back? Of course not. Lighten up...

I don't feel the OP was being negative, just stating some wacky things she saw. I feel I am a pretty positive person, and while in Disney last month I definately saw some strange things,(trust me I wasn't looking for it)! Anytime you have alot of people in one area interesting visuals are bound to happen!

And now I hope *you're* joking... if you vomited on yourself, you wouldn't want to wash off before putting on a clean shirt? Ewwww!

I would wash myself off with some wet towels in the stall or a family rest-room, not in full view of the public. But then again I also do not parade around in my swimsuit top. I guess it is called modesty.

Sorry, the last post sounds snotty. I did not intend it too!

I'm modest too, but if I had vomit on me, getting rid of that would supercede my need for a family bathroom (are there any in WDW? Where are they?). Just being in a women's restroom would be modest enough. But that's just me.
