Stupidest Thing u have done at Disney

[Mariposa]

When we went in Nov. I had a terribly sinus cold, so I was on some anithistamine/decongestant over-the-counter med. at all times. So, the day we were going to do Mission: Space I was a little apprehensive about how my stomach would handle it so I took some Dramamine. Heh. The combination of the meds nearly knocked me out. We managed to do breakfast with the Princesses in Norway, Test Track.. and some other stuff??? And I really barely remember any of it. Oops.

We were staying at the Beach Club when we saw a sign for a boat to Epcot.

Excited for our first visit to Epcot, we waited 10 or 15 minutes for the boat to arrive. We boarded and sat on the slowest hot and stuffy little boat I've ever been on while it putt-putt-ed over to the Boardwalk to tie-up and pickup/drop-off passengers, and then slowly to the Dolphin/Swan to do the same. Then, slowly we crept right by the dock where we embarked over 20 mins earlier. A few minutes and a few hundred feet later we arrived at Epcot.

Epcot was only a two minute walk from where we started over half hour earlier!

Our first trip was in 1992 and as rookies we failed to notice the long line to see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Our 5 YO son ran up to one of them and we were lucky to escape with our lives.
I remember this now when others crowd to the front and hope that is ignorance, not poor manners.

I did something like that. At the judges tent we were meeting the Pooh characters. Well no one was visiting poor tigger so I sent my kids over there. Well apparently we had to wait for each character in order, or so a grumpy CM told me.

One year we stayed at BWV and I had to pick something up at the front (FW) gate of Epcot. Now I could have walked or taken the boat to the back (WS) entrance and walked through epcot to FW, but I thought it would be easier to take the bus. Well since there's no bus to Epcot from BWV I had to take the bus to Downtown Disney, then the bus to Epcot. It took me 1 1/2 hours to get there. Needless to say, I walked through to WS exit to return and they never even made me use my ticket.

We went to MK for our 8:30 am Cindys breakfast. Everyone was putting their tickets in the machine....except me and my kids! Mom where's my ticket? So i started fumbling through my backpack and no tickets! I had to go to the ticket window and have them issue us temporary tickets for the day. Now this may not seem so bad but #1 we were late for our breakfast so i had the rest of our party go ahead to check us in...and #2 I wouldn't let my kids hold their tickets all week because I was afraid they would lose them or leave them in the room but it was me in the end who left them in the room!

Soon after my DW got her Doctorate we were at EP when we saw Doc. We wanted to get DW’s picture taken with him since she had recently become a DR. We ran up very excited to see him saying Doc we want to get your picture with our new DR. We took many pictures all the while calling him Doc. Once we left we started to think, wait a minute, why is Doc out here by himself, none of the other dwarfs are out here? Then it finally dawned on us - That was Mr. Smee. Oh how embarrassing!

LOL - I did the same thing, but on Mickey Avenue in MGM!
And then there was the trip where I got lost at the same intersection three nights in a row...
And the time I got pneumonia and ended up in Celebration Health for an extra week...
But my truly stupid moment? At Disneyland, I drove my ECV off a curb - sideways

Not buying my DS7 (at the time) a Mickey football.

The rest of the story... We were staying in building 10 at All Star Sports. If you don't know the layout of ASSp, building 10 faces the football field. If you have seen pictures of the oversized "Xs" and "Os" on the football field, they were right outside our door. A day or so after we arrived we were in the gift shop and my DS was crying and begging for a football. Being a person who uses logic for all issues, I attempted to justify to a 7 year old that he didn't need a footbal because he had 2 or 3 footballs at home. Obviously it didn't go well...

The only thing that my son remembered folllowing the trip was that he didn't get a football. For all future trips I have had the following position... If my DD, DS or DW wants something, I buy it. Yes, some people will disagree with me, but heck... you're spending a few thousand dollars to fly to WDW and stay onsite, the least you can do is spend $10 on a football.

I wish I could've seen that!!!!

Sorry, I was talking about driving the wheel chair off the curb.

Waiting over an hour and a half in the judges tent to get our family picture taken with Mickey-we just waited over an hour for the rain to stop by Country Bear's Jamboree under the pavilion-. We didn't have poncho's and no one wanted to walk in the rain. It wasn't even raining hard.

I love the picture, but what a lot of wasted time.

Several years ago we were staying at the Contemporary Tower one Dec., and had spent the day at AK. The last ride we went on for the day was Kali River Rapids, so we all got soaked and then left quickly for the resort.

On the way we decided to get tickets to that nights MVMCP, so I elected to go get the tickets while DH and the kids went to the room. I was freezing, so I quickly got the tickets and headed up to the room.

I didn't have a room key with me, so I knocked on the door. No answer. I knock a few more times..still no answer..I'm mad!

I didn't have a cell phone either, so I walked back down to the elevators to use the courtesy phone, and called the room. DD answered,and said DH was in the shower, and she didn't hear me! I say well I'm coming back now, you better open the door this time!

I walk back down to the room, and pound on the door this time. NO ANSWER!! I'm pissed figuring DD is too chicken to answer the door...(maybe thinking it's a stranger..even though I TOLD her it was me)..DH is STILL in the shower!

I'm bangin' on the door, and saying OPEN THE DOOR...I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE! Still nothing! I'm wet and feezing....

OMG! I walk back down to the phone, and this time DH answers. I explain what had been going, and I'm PISSED!!

I tell him to go right then and open the door and stand there until I get there, and then I go charging off to the room. I get almost all the way there when I notice DH standing in front of our room. Our real room that is!!

The whole time I was knocking on the WRONG door!

So do I win an award or something??

Where, oh, where to begin. Well, two things come to mind.
Once I left my wallet at Rain Forest Cafe (DAK) on the first day of a five day trip. Had my driver's license, checkbook, credit cards, $180, everything. For some stupid reason, I had my SSN card! (Insert favorite Homer Simpsonism here). I didn't notice it until the entire family, including in-laws, had made it to Downtown Disney. My stomach sank like a rock. I left everyone to browse around shops while I raced back to DAK to look for it. I was digging through trash cans, everywhere. Never found it. Had to cancel all the cards, report it stolen, whole nine yards. An awful, awful way to start the vacation.

The other thing happened on our last day of our most recent trip. We were all on the train at MK when DW & DS decided to ride Splash Mountain (DS had never been on it). I was going to stay on the train with DD and go to ToonTown Fair and wait for them. As we parted, my wife says absent-mindly "we'll meet you at the meet-and-greet tent or you can just find us." I reply even more absent-mindly "OK."

Only when we reached ToonTown did it dawn on me what that our meeting arrangements meant absolutely nothing! Holy cow! How did we let that happen! I can't tell you how many times around the park I rode that #&%^@ train! I would get out and look for them, then get back on the train. Get out and look for them and get back on the train. Did I mention it was raining? Did I mention that my 4yr old DD getting sick required the disposal of certain undergarments?
And the train... I got so sick of that train... I think it's been ruined forever for me... I've got some good ideas for improving it though.

I think we wasted an entire afternoon trying to synch back up with the other half of the family. Seriously. A whole afternoon. Wasted. Riding on a train. A train with a Pocahontus soundtrack.

Stupid, stupid, stupid...

LOL! Yeah sounds exactly like something that would happen to me!

 

[rajay320]

OMG!! These are hilarious!!

 

[Belle0101]

Stupidest thing I did, and I keep doing it over and over again everytime i'm there... Check-out of the resort!

I've been making the same mistake every year since 2001! I imagine I'll make that mistake this May too. Why?

 

[IloveWINNIEthePOOH]

Keeping my bag in my lap on Kali that I thought didn't have anything in it that would matter getting wet (I always double ziploc cameras and such)
Well I forgot that, that morning I placed some cardboard feminine products (that was all they had in the resort "store") in the front zipper of my bag.
Can we say...... POOF!

 

[dpuck1998]

I used to go to Disney without any planning...stay off-site...and only go for 1 day...

OMG!!! ROFLMAO!! Just so you know, I am up late at night with wretched pain from a kidney infection. Your post made me laugh aloud and forget my discomfort! THANK YOU so much for sharing!!

If awards were to be given out, im sure you would be a finalist. Your story cracked me up. Thanks for the giggle.
