The Disney Confessional

[Disneyland1084]

I cut in line at the Matterhorn once. It was really late, maybe an hour before closing, and the line was so long. It was really dark, and no one noticed.

Oh, I just remembered. I have walked into a counter-service restraint and grabbed a table and sent my husband to the counter to place our order. Aapparently a Dis sin, because you should not get a table until after you have gotten your food.

Is it a sin to post someone else's sin

She's a Dis-er too - not sure if that makes it better or worse

Many years back, my cousin AnnMarie (Coliebird as she's known on the Disboards) and I were staying at POFQ. She had bought a TON of stuff at World of Disney one evening and asked to have the bags sent to the room the following day.

The next day, we returned from the park and .... no bags were waiting for her in our room. She called down to the lobby to see if they were holding the bags and was told "no". She called the store directly and was told that the bags had been delivered to the hotel.

We decide to walk down to the lobby and talk to bell services, but I suggest that she find her receipt so that she has proof in case they need it. No luck - can't find her receipt either.

Now AnnMarie is normally quite levelheaded, but in the three minutes that it took us to walk to the lobby/bell services - she is CONVINCED that the maid (named Clarice) has not only stolen her bags, but stole the receipt to cover her tracks.

I will never forget the words that came out of her mouth as we spoke to the hotel manager that day. She said (very loudly for all in the lobby to hear - and several times) quote: "I'm not blaming anybody, but Clarice is the only person who could have stolen my bags."

The manager apologized and said he would look into it immediately - told us that they take accusations of theft very seriously, etc.

To make an already long story short - it turns out that the bags were delivered to a guest at the Carribean Beach resort who had the same last name as AnnMarie. The receipt (which she later found at the bottom of her purse ) didn't have the hotel name written on it and the room was in my last name - different from AnnMarie's last name. They had looked up the last name (not a common name at all) and found a guest staying at the CB and assumed that the bags were hers.

By the end of the night, she had her bags. Management was told of the misunderstanding (and a very nice tip was left for Clarice!!)

Yeah, thanks for posting that one LOL. Poor, innocent Clarice. I'll have to go back into my memory bank and see what I can come up with about you ha ha

ok all you mug re-users iv got what would probably be the worst disney sin of them all....

so me and my (now ex) girlfriend took a trip to disney at the end of may, and we are both smokers. and our sin is that we didnt always use the designated smoking areas. most of the time we did, but wed smoke on the way to the bus stop (which we were staying in the cbr so there were a bagillion bus stops so we werent really bothering anyone since no one was really around us walking) and sometimes on the way to old port royale, and even behind the bus stop once when we had to wait around awhile. we smoked in front of mexico in epcot cause we couldnt find an area close buy, so we just walked up to the rail and smoked right there... but the best (or worst depending on your view point) was we smoked by the hot tub in the pool area. that was kind of funny though, we had just got ourselves some adult beverages and were standing kind of away from the hot tub area (as to not bother anyone too badly) smoking and drinking when two of the ladies in the hot tub got out and come over and smoke with us! haha atleast we werent the only sinners around! and of course, the really bad part of of our sin was when we were walking to or from the bus stop, a few times we just threw our butts on the ground (yikes please dont burn us at the stake please please please)

This is the only one on this thread that actually bothers me.

Ok I'm going to confess the sins of myself and my family & friends from when I was a kid. I'm not a religous person, but am afraid of "the law" so I figure if I was a minor at the time, my record would be sealed.

1. We stole a cone from the MK parking lot.
2. A bunch of us kids almost got kicked out for spitting off of the skyway.
3. We snuck in vodka on grad night at the MK.
4. I've gone swimming in the resort pools and wasn't an overnight guest.
5. On more than one occasion we would push all the buttons in the elevators in the Comtemporary.
6. We got unlimited fastpasses from fastpass machines when they didn't have CM's standing by them.
7. Us kids cut line at Space Mountain (all the time) by saying we were catching up to our parents (who weren't even there).

That's all for now. Surprisingly enough...I've never been in jail.

My mom ordered a kid's meal for herself several times on our past trip--and kid's meals for me, too! She'd have me scout out a table and order the food. The CMs don't know how many kids there are in your party unless they see them! It wasn't because the kid's meals were cheaper; it's because neither my mom or I will eat the full adult meal, so it'd be wasting food (and money).

 

[Jennasis]

tsk tsk...so many sins to forgive...


Luckily, there is plenty to go around! No judgments allowed in here. Only forgiveness!


But forgiveness isn't without a price. So I want everyone who has posted their trangressions here to sing the Mickey Mouse Club anthem 10 times, and to save at least one pixie from death by clapping super hard.

Make it so.

This is the only one on this thread that actually bothers me.

haha i figured this one would bother some people, but hey since we are in the mood to confess i figured id go for it. but to my credit, when we did smoke in undesignated areas we always did it away from people. and im sorry to all you none smokers but get off your high horses its bad enough youve made it to where we cant even smoke in a bar in almost every city in america, lets us at least be able to smoke outside, and especially when we are away from everyone else. i realize that most people who dont smoke also tend to really not like smoking in general, they dont like the act of smoking, they dont like the smell, i understand that, but you know half the time people have made some rude comments to me about my smoking outside (away from disney no one said anything or even seemed to be botherd by it at disney, then again that could also be cause we did it away from people they probably didnt even realize it wasnt a designated area) its normaly from someone who walked to where ever i was, made some comment or did one of those fake little coughs (likes its cute, its not) you saw that i was smoking if it bothers you dont walk my way. i was here first! ok thats enough of a rant for one day...

Then add me to this list as well. We ALWAYS do this. Especially when the kids were young and in strollers. There is no flippin' way I was going to stand in line with an entourage of kids and strollers to then carry trays, push stollers, and wander around a restaurant looking for a table. Come on, get real. Now that the kids are older, I send them out as scouts for tables, while I order.

Just another example of DIS folks with too much time on their hands to label this as a no-no.

 

[mickeysgal]

Since when does Disney charge for extra towels? We get extra every time we go and never get charged.

If you're staying at a DVC resort, you only get a certain allotment of towels to use until your next trash/towel service (usually every 3-4 days). Some people reuse their towels, others wash them in between housekeeping service, others just plain need more towels for whatever their reason. Rather than pay for a set of extra towels, some simply use a pool towel or two. And many take this issue to the nth level of exteme since it is the DVC dues that have to support all these type of transgressions. So therefore, anyone taking a towel or two is now every DVC's owner's business since it is their dues that have to support towel-takers.

We reuse our mugs. But it's only because our mugs are old enough to fall into the "gray" area. When we purchased them we were specifically told they were good at that specific resort forever. We've never been questioned about them. In fact a lot of the staff love seeing the old mugs.

Call me a sinner if you want, but I stand by my innocence.

We do the same thing, most of the time. I have asked each trip to the WL if these mugs are still good and they have said yes. These are the old WL mugs.

 

[mom2aredhead]

I have, more than once...

... re-used my refillable mug. But only if we took 2 trips in the same year and the mug was the exact same one.

... had my husband and 6 year old hold a table at a CS restaurant while I purchased 2 adult meals, then sent my husband to the CS line to purchase his adult meal

... used my fastpasses waaaaay after the return time

... put an adult beverage in my water bottle during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

 

[DawnCt1]

From the time we had our forth child, (22 years ago) we were ALWAYS one over the limit in the room. Actually before that, because my mother would come with us, so with three we were always one over on the room (occupancy limits). Do I feels wracked with guilt? Not in the least. No absolution needed for me.

Do you happen to have a cigarette scar on your shoulder? If so, sorry!

I try not to judge, but there's a reason this is a no-no. It really stinks to be standing there with your tray of food, and there are people sitting at tables with no food. If everyone waited until they had their food, there'd be enough tables for everyone. But since not everyone is so considerate, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. Me, I usually just hover over people who are almost finished so they get the hint and move on.

Another thread on here reminded me of another sin. I took pictures on the POTC ride. I know I wasn't supposed to but I don't care, I have a great scrapbook page

I've snapped a few pics in the Haunted Mansion...the table scene, and in the graveyard. But I did feel guilty about it, and even worried thru the ride that the CM's would somehow know it was me and get me when we got off the ride.

You're allowed to take pictures on those rides, just no flash.

This past trip (August 2010), my friend and I said we were 16 and ended up riding the Segways.

Here's a tip: neither of us are 16 until 2011

But they sure were awesome!
