Strangest thing seen at a Disney park

[bluesaturn]

yep, not uncommon for someone from india, i guess. my sister had a woman in her apartment complex do that outside all the time. she said it wasn't unusual in india for women to do that wherever they are. GROSS
on the funny side......i guess we now know they don't wear anything under that!!!!

Uh actually people from India don't go around peeing on the ground. Well apparently one or two do, but unfortunately every culture has a few uncouth members.

We were getting on the Tomorrowland Transit (Wedway People Mover for those oldies among us) and a family was in front of us. At the entrance to the "cars" the grandma freaked and grabbed onto a pole. Now remember, she's standing on a moving sidewalk, clinging to a stationary pole. So, her feet are slowly sliding away from her and she won't let go. Her family was screaming at her in a foreign language, but all I could think of was the line from A League of Their Own, "The train moves, the station doesn't."

I'm assuming you mean people from Spain - or are you lumping in any and all people from Spanish speaking backgrounds. How do you tell is a Spanish speaking person is from Europe. I have full Mediterannean lineage and I have a hard time. Enlighten me please.

I've found that Spaniard's generally have a very distinct accent. The only two places that I can consistently hear where the speaker is from is Puerto Rico and Spain.

This is not a defense of the poster you quoted. I'm just stating that, yes, some people can tell that someone is from Spain (Europe).

Back to the original post. The most shocking things I've witnessed, I believe, have been in the water parks. They range from close to nonexistent swim wear to PDA acts that should be left to the bedroom.

The strangest thing that I have ever seen at a Disney park was last January in the Magic Kingdom. My son and I were waiting in line for the Tomorrowland Speedway when I noticed an Amish couple behind us - they seemed to be newlyweds and looked very young (about 16 or 17).
It seemed odd because WDW seems to be one of the two most commercial places in the U.S.. I told my husband that they were getting experience so that they could pass a driver's test and escape from Amish land.
I unobtrusively took a couple of snapshots of them with my cell phone but my phone was stolen shortly thereafter.

They may have been Mennonite, not so strict.

One year we saw a woman dressed in corduroy pants and a turtle-neck sweater. This was in late April and the temperature was in the 80s.

This could have been medical issue. my dear friend has RSD, auto immune and no matter how warm, she is freezing. By fall or cool days has to wear knit gloves, and knit cap. She will actually turn color on the cold hands, feet.

Hmm well I probably would have made some people's weirdest list... when I was a kid (probably four or five) I was at a character breakfast and I was really excited to see the characters. I kept looking around behind me so I could keep an eye out for them and I guess I put my arm through the bars on the chair and it got stuck Everyone working tried to get my arm out but it wouldn't budge, they had to break the chair to get me out It is very funny to me now...but when I was a kid it was awful! I think everyone in the restaurant was probably laughing at me!

Year ago when I stayed at AS Sports, there was a family from England and the little boy (probably 10 or 11) was at the pool sunbathing naked....His parents had suits on.

 

[marcyinPA]

I'm pretty sure that my family has made a "weird" list too...

When my oldest DS was 2 (he's almost 15 now), I was pushing him in a crappy stroller that didn't recline. I had the diaper bag and the camcorder bag slung over the handle bars, with the bottoms of the bags resting on the basket. He had fallen asleep, and was all hunched over, so in my infinite wisdom, I decided to push the stroller on the rear wheels (to recline it). Well, the camcorder bag slid off the basket of the stroller, making me trip on it, and I went flying forward, onto the ground, with the stroller flying out in front of me. I was SOOOO embarrassed, especially when two or three cast members witnessed me spread out face first on the ground and came to make sure I was OK (and that my tripping wasn't the fault of the park! LOL) I scraped up my hand and my knee pretty badly, but my pride was hurt more than anything.

And then, the same DS, when he was 7, had too many snacks and too much food one day. He spent his time during Illuminations puking in the garbage can in France. We tried to get him into the bathroom, but he just couldn't make it, poor kid! We walked out of Epcot, as soon as we could, with him holding the popcorn bucket. We made it to the bus stop, only to find a huge line of people waiting for the bus. Luckily, he looked pathetic enough with his head in the bucket, that people towards the front of the line let us get on the bus and they waited for the next one. We've been back to Disney several more times since then, and my DS still points out "his" garbage can!

Well I'm bad at noticing sarcasm while reading unless they state it as sarcasm or put a

You'll have a hard time on the DIS, my friend (especially the CB!), unless you get better at it! ()

Oh goodie I get to tell my PI story again! Years ago we are waiting in line at the buckets(so yes you know this was years ago) in front of us was a very large Italian man with what can only be described as a bimbo. - big hair- high heals short skirt IN DISNEY! They were all over each other.
Well right behind us is a guy snapping pictures of them. Lots of pictures.
So I bump into bimbo in the bathroom and mention someone was watching them. She says "It must be that b of a wife of his" and took off.
have a magical day.

That is probably the funniest thing I have ever read on the DIS

My craziest memory was while working at Disneyland in about 95. We were doing guest control around village Haus and a very old Vietnamese man who was by himself started speaking very loudly and looking around, he started to get louder and louder and was really getting frantic, we started to approach him to see if he needed help, before we got to him he pulled his pants down, and squatted right in the middle of the street. Lets just say it made the Protein spill seem nice compared to what he left on the ground. It was MESSY and THANK GOD not my job to clean it up. Apparently he was having some major stomach problems and couldnt find his family, or a restroom. whats weird is, this isnt THAT uncommon at both DL and WDW from what i hear. I guess some other cultures have a much more lax policy when it comes to personal matters...

KramBerries I get that you were being sarcastic, I guess others can't read into that!! lol

I agree with people who have said they have seen strange items of dress. I was in Epcot on new years day 2006, we were heading for spaceship earth and there was a group of girls in front of us who looked about 17/18 years old. It was 1st thing in the morning so it wasn't warm out yet, there was one girl who was wearing the highest heals I have ever seen with very short shorts, a bikini top and a full length fur coat over the top. Not sure how she got into the park like that, baybe she had the coat zipped up when she entered. It sure looked strange though and very uncomfortouble!

I got the totally tongue and cheek post. Gave me a good chuckle.

i saw a large group of elderly monks (wearing orange, i'm not sure what denomonation they were) talking on cell phones, wearing bagalinis, and holding a camcorder (every accessory in orange, mind you) waiting for the kilamanjaro safari.

oh, and one of them was in a rented wheel chair, and on the back of the wheel chair (where hte name is written) someone had taken an (orange) magic marker and written "MONK."

oh, and i've not read the thread, but i just wanted to add if no one else had, please never photograph the amish. it goes against their beliefs.

I love this!

On our honeymoon in 1995 at the Grand there was this guy who was very tall and skinny with long hair wearing a gold speedo and he was on the ground by the pool doing "stretches"......The way he was doing the stretches looked perverted......Then there was the 8/9 year old little girl who was quite chubby and was wearing a pair of shorts that had "sexy" across the butt and if that was not disturbing enough the little boy in their group kept pinching her butt and I think it was her brother!!!!

I love this!

i still giggle when i think about it.

Actually, the Amish friends I have from PA don't live by that belief. They say it's the scriptural reference to not make graven images of themselves, to not become vain, therefore it is against their beliefs to POSE for a picture, they do not have a problem with being in a picture as long as they aren't asked to "strike a pose"

And the Amish that we know around here, it is ok to take their picture just so long as their face is not showing. If you get them in profile, as long as you can't tell who it is, there usually isn't an issue either.

Once, at the petting zoo in Animal Kingdom, I saw a child picking up the little goat poop balls off of the ground and trying to feed them to the goats. Apparently, he didn't know any better.

(It was my child)

Uh, eeww.
