Tackiest thing ever seen at a Disney Buffet

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

I haven't patented this yet, but I think there is a big demand for: "The Tupperware Purse". If anyone would like to order one, you will be put on my list. I know, I know, it has to be cheap enough for the people who would use it.

Don't waste your expensive tupperware purse. Get the CannotWaitforDisney Gladlock purse instead at a fraction of the cost. With the patented "Steallock" (sic) seal.

Oh I have one. We were at Hollywood and Vine last summer. A person that I was WITH (the horror of it) went and asked for a paper cup with a lid and then went to the ice cream buffett and filled it to the brim with the little pastel candies. She said they were really expensive to buy. She pulled them out for a Fantasmic snack later. I would not touch them and I wouldn't let my DD have them either.

The only reason I didn't do anything about this was my DD, it wasn't worth the scene that would have happened but you can bet that I still cringe when I think about it.

Just a fun little addition at my oh so fancy smanchy wedding years ago a person brought in a shopping bag with TUPPERWARE and took anything that she could get her hands on, including asking for an extra dinner. She took the ribbons I had on the tables as decorations even, someone asked her to stop but she got them later when no one was watching her. I got that info from a reliable source and then when watching the wedding video, there she was with a big ole shopping bag on her arm arriving.

OMG, I would have lost my mind. I'm planning my wedding now and am stressing like every dollar that I have to spend ( I wanted to elope fiance wanted a wedding). After all that money and work I think I would have taken the mike from the DJ and made an announcement to the whole room before having her removed but then I have no patiance for rude and ignorant people...

As for everything else I have been keeping up with this thread and so far the only thing really shocking was the old lady who slapped the manager. I have lived in Vegas all my life and the stuff that goes on in the buffets and resturants here -shudder-

This one is a huge issue for my husband. He is vegitarian (well he eats fish too but no meat) and not from choice, but because meat makes him ill. It is really unpleasent for him when he ends up eating something that has been cross contaminated with meat. He can't even eat things that are done in the same oil (ie chicken fingers and fries both cooked in the same vat of veggie oil). This is a major reason we only have one buffet on our list of places for our Disney vacation and why we never go to buffets in our normal life, it is too risky since he prefers not to be sick for 4 to 6 hours+ after eating food.

I have know a couple people like that is it an allergy or what. the funny thing is one of them husband is a butcher she can only eat chicken

This is not gross-just funny. Several years ago I went on a cruise to the Bahamas with my parents. Like all cruises, food on board was included in the price of your ticket. We were supposed to depart on the cruise around 4 pm but due to some sort of engine problem, they didn't let us board and leave until around 8 pm. Anyway, due to our late departure, the first meal that was served on board was the midnight buffet. A family was there and the dad was saying "come on everyone stuff food in your pockets so we won't have to pay for any meals on the ship tomorrow". I was like, "duh--did you not read that food was included in the trip". It was too funny!

When I was in my last year of law school (1993) my wife and I went on a cruise. I am an early riser and it was cold on some mornings so I began to drink this powdered hot chocolate. I soon became hooked. Well, having never seen this brand before, too early to Google it on the internet, and being broke, I filled my duffel bag with these packets of hot chocolate mix. On the way home several broke open, what a mess. The funny part is that I found one of them in a junk drawer just the other day. Brought back good memories. I was tempted to go ahead and stir it up, but had second thoughts when I remembered it had to be at least 13 years old. And, worst of all, wife pitched it before I had a chance to get manufacturer info. It was in a yellow and brown package. Hah.

The worse that happened to me was DH and I were at a Ponderosa and I heard a large group of people laughing behind me. I turned to look and they made a racisit comment towards me. Then I noticed something in my hair. These people had thrown mashed potatoes at me and they were in my hair. I just said "real mature" and got cussed at.These weren't kids either the people who did it (wiping potatoes from thier hands) were at least 20's. DH went to get a manager and the manager asked them to leave but they were already leaving anyway since they were done. We never did eat just went home so I could shower.

I've also seen my fair share of of kids putting their hands into the food.

My dad has swiped some sweet-n-low before And I admit to the extra napkins I get from fastfood places when were eating in the car.

That has to be the worst thing on here yet. How horrible that must have been for you.

We think it is an alergy we aren't sure if it is the meat itself or from the antibiotics that the animals are fed as they are raised.

OMG..this just reminded me of an aquaintance we have that always comes to the same weddings/get togethers/etc that we do.
She is NOTORIOUS for taking LOADS of food at weddings, and potlucks.
She always asks for an extra plate of food to take home, plus if there are any leftovers (like hot dogs/burgers like at picnics) she will ASK the host if she can take them! I mean HELLO I would say, "no, my family will eat this for supper tonight"!

It has gotten so bad that at a wedding we went to about two years ago, the mother of the bride had a huge plate of wedding cake (like an extra sheet cake) made just for her & had it wrapped up for her to take home so she'd leave the wedding cake ALONE.

I just don't get how some people can do this kind of stuff w/o embarrassment!

I love those little mini melt-aways at Hollywood and Vine.
I went there last year with my sister and we enjoyed the buffet. After we were done I got a little bit of the frozen yogurt and topped it with tons of those mini meltaways. We were sitting enjoying our little desserts. (we pig out on the buffet but try to watch the sweets, does that make sense?)
Our watress came up to me and said" You really love those mini chips don't you, and of course I said yes. She handed me a small bag of them about the size of a sandwich bag. I can tell you, that waitress got a bigger tip. lol.
I didn't ask, or try to sneak them out the door, she gave them to me and I enjoyed them later on that evening.
PS, tell your cheap friend that those mints are available at Walgreens, CVS, and quite a few other stores in the candy aisle and to stop being so cheap. Peggie

hmm or maybe finally a use for all those non refillable refillable resort mugs? it only says beverages i think, nothing about not using it for food....

DH has an aunt who leaves that glad ware stuff in her car....Everytime we have a family get together in she comes with a walmart bag full of her glad ware. I mean sure there are left overs at these things but don't assume that you can just take what you want home without asking.

We had Dh's grandparents a VERY NICE anniversary dinner at our church and I made them the wedding cake they never had when they got married over 60 years ago. Well when it came time to clean up in she walks with the glad ware... ...she was dumping all the shrimp and crab dip and crackers and chocolate covered strawberries etc. in these containers without even asking if anyone else wanted any.....SOOOOOOO me being the mean person that I am (after I made sure the grandparents got their share to take home) I took the leftover cake and looked right at her and threw it in the trash. It was probably a good 30 servings left or so. SHE WAS SOOOOOO MAD!!!! I know it was not the most grown up thing for me to do at the moment but it sure felt good at the time. DH and FIL busted out in laughter because they KNEW exactly why I did what I did. She hasn't spoke to me since that day...HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Not a WDW experience, but watch out for grocery store buffets. I saw a woman sampling the foods- she'd take a bite from the serving spoon in a dish, and return the spoon to the dish. I couldn't believe it! So I got a manager and told her. She went to the woman and told her not to do that. The woman replied that she thought you were supposed to, but she stopped. But!!! Nobody replaced the contaminated food!
