Things you wish you'd never seen at Disney

[catne]

Just this week, Thursday at MK--mother was changing baby's diaper on the bench seat of the picnic table while her family was eating powdered-sugar waffles at Sleepy Hollow. Grandma, Grandpa and older kid just kept eating. And then when they were done--idiot mom sets the used diaper ON the table while she packs everything back up into the diaper bag & puts baby back in stroller. Then Grandma very nicely gets a lot of paper towels and carefully cleans all the powdered sugar off the table...as if THAT was the nastiest thing on the table! Cannot understand how people think changing diapers in eating areas is OK. And it was not a "cultural" thing...they were most definitely born & bred Americans, no doubt about it. The other thing we noticed was a lot of questionable "fashion" --loads of the way too short shorts (with more than butt cheeks hanging out) and also including an age 65+ grandma type in a flowy sort of tank top that had a big inverted mesh V-shaped insert in the front of the shirt-it technically covered everything it "should" but lordy, the old lady very-wrinkly-very-round-beer-belly was clearly visible through what was supposed to be a peek-a-boo shirt...at 9 AM in the Magic Kingdom. Not a pleasant sight. I just cannot imagine what these people see when they check themselves in the mirror. Sexy? NOT!

About seeing women in the rest rooms and then walking out without washing their hands - do you know that woman actually used the stall for what you think it was intended for? I've used stalls for just pulling down my bra into a more comfortable position. Or, have wetted a washcloth at the sinks, then gone into a stall to wash myself down so my hands were clean and so was the rest of my body. Or, I have felt sick and wanted a place to sit by myself until I felt better. After all these times, I have flushed so people would think I used the toilet for a function and not just to get some privacy. So, please don't judge.

I would still want to wash in these circumstances--you're touching door locks/handles and possibly other dirty surfaces in the bathroom. Just a thought.

Yes, this. Even the lock on the stall door is filthy.

One of the worst I never wanted to see at WDW was my own reflection in the woman's room mirror when I was in MGM (I think it wasn't HS yet). I will explain. I was with my ex, and it was the trip in October of 2001. We got up super early, because I wanted to be at park open. I wore a pair of red shorts, and this white, short sleeve, Henley style shirt, it was textured, that sort of waffle texture. I had a white bra underneath the shirt. I went for basically the whole day, it was after dinner, and I told my ex I was going to stop at the ladies room. Now, while my ex husband, had to stop and get a Coke every two seconds, and then use the restroom every ten minutes, I'm the opposite, this was my first stop at the park. I was always like a camel. I could go hours and not need a break. Sooooo, anyways.... I go up to the sinks and stuff to wash my hands, and I look in the mirror, and you can clearly see through my white shirt, and through my bra!!!!!!
I was mortified, and wanted to die! I do not know how I didn't see it at the room when I got dressed. I guess it was too dark, and not strong enough "white light" The only thing I can say, is that I'm not a high maintenance kind of girl. I don't wear make up and I'm like a wash and go kind of girl. I do not spend a lot of time looking at myself. Don't get me wrong, I dress cute, but I'm not anyone who primps... I'm also pretty shy, actually, and hate when people stare at me, I do not want to be the center of attention, he knew that.

I came out of the restroom, dying of humiliation, trying to cross my arms to try and hide, and I said something about it, and he said, "Yeah, I saw it when we got out of the room this morning." Whaaaaaat?! Why on god's green earth would you not say something so that I can put on another shirt or something? Who does that? Needless to say, I went straight to the nearest shop to find a hoodie I liked, and it was not a cheap one, and he looked like he was going to open his mouth to protest when I pulled out my money to purchase. I threw him the death stare, and he knew enough not to say a word.

When I was a kid a saw a man put his lit cigarette onto his child's arm to stop him from whining. I was so upset and crying but by the time I was able to tell my parents he was gone. I still think about that whenever I walk into The Land pavilion. So very sad.

 

[anniemae]

Yes, this. Even the lock on the stall door is filthy.

Not to mention all the stuff touched before entering the bathroom. All the ride handles, railings etc. I can't even imagine the germs we all touch at Disney, heck the Winnie the Pooh ride queue is enough to make me squirm! Even if just stopping into the rest room to adjust clothing or whatever, we all could use a wash to avoid spreading germs or getting sick IMO. Nobody wants to be sick, but especially not at Disney!

Stitch's Great Escape some time back around 2005. I remember the Alien Encounter one wasn't that great and was happy to see it go. Boy was I wrong.

We were at the World last week and saw a couple unbelievable things. We were at AK on a warm 92 degree day. We stopped at the restrooms near the Congo River Rapids and my husband went into the mens room and there were 3 adult men completely naked drying their clothes under the hand dryers.

Then we also saw a teenage girl shaving her under arms in the lobby of AoA. Just went you think you've seen everything!!!

once saw a family making tuna sandwiches in MK across from the Dole Whip stand (where it was before it moved). They were opening the tuna cans and draining them in the drinking fountain and didn't even rinse it down. In 90+ heat I'm sure that was a LOVELY experience for the next poor unsuspecting kid who went there for a drink and got the stench of 90 degree festering tuna water instead.

O.K...nothing like what you guys have seen but we were walking down by the water one day, saw a mom duck with 4 ducklings crossing the sidewalk in front of us....SWOOP, down comes a hawk and scoops up one of the ducklings! I think I was tramatized!

We were waiting for our table in the WL lobby around 5pm. There was a couple making out on a chair hands all over each other. It was disgusting. I'm all for being affectionate with each other but keep it PG in public. I kept waiting for a CM at the front desk to beak it up but no they let them do their thing.

 

[yeheyprincex2]

Yeah, I see women all the time not washing after using the bathroom. sometimes they do a little "finger rinse" by wiggling their fingers under the water for a couple seconds, with no soap, then exiting. Sometimes maybe people prefer hand sanitizer and use that once they are out of the restroom, but I'm sure they are in the minority!

Once my husband complained to me "why do you take so long in the bathroom woman come and go and your still in there". I said "ya those are the woman who don't wash their hands". He never complained again.

I get breastfeeding. It's natural and blah, blah, blah... but I just don't want to be subjected to see your boob hanging out there. They make covers. Or maybe finish and THEN go on the ride, but don't do it in the middle of the ride right in front, back, or next to me. You're hot, sweaty, and gross. This happened multiple times on our past trip. One of the rides was Its A Small World. It's not like the line for that had a huge wait. You can breastfeed and then go on the ride, or vice versa!

I breastfed in so many rides. Never used a cover. Rides are the perfect place nice and air conditioned and usually long enough for a feed.

 

[cruisingtwins]

When we were in WDW in August we saw many women either braless or in dire need of a new bra (one that actually supports them). Please, ladies, wear a bra.

No. But thank you for your suggestion. Women have breasts deal with it.

My worst had to be seeing a teenage girl (looked teenish) clipping her toenails with her foot propped up on the table at Top of the World Lounge... As for the bathroom thing - I get a paper towel first so I don't even have to touch that. I never turn a faucet off (if it isn't automatic) without a towel or touch the towel dispenser with a bare hand. Things I remember from nursing school that will NEVER leave me. Sink handles are some of the filthiest surfaces in a restroom.

As a woman with breasts, I second the "please wear a bra" notion.

I am sure if you'd asked her politely she'd have loaned you a cover for your head.

Yes, as a woman with breasts, I'm also going with women wearing bras as a good thing.
