Things you wish you'd never seen at Disney

[wilkeliza]

I personally chose to breastfeed as privately as possible but that was what worked for the people actually involved (me and the baby) not random people who were staring at my chest. Unless you are fixated on the process, you really don't see anything.

Agreed. I edited my post for clarification. I nurse in public discreetly, mostly because my baby needs to be far away from noise and distraction. It works for us. Trying to feed her under a cover with hustle and bustle around just ends up with flailing arms and legs

Just wondering as I'm not a breastfeeding mother yet but hope to be some day (no kiddos yet). Aren't there tops you can get where nothing is exposed and covering baby is not necessary? I only ask because I know my cousins both were able to breast feed with no cover on their kids and the only time you saw anything was if you were looking in the blink of an eye it took for the little ones head to block the nipple. The rest of them was fully covered. I don't know if they had special shirts or if they were doing the 2 cami approach. This was in Texas so they definitely got the heat thing but were still able to cover themselves but not baby.

For the record I honestly don't care either way but I was just wondering if there is a way to cover ones boobs and not baby as I'm very body conscious and would be so uncomfortable personally if I was "naked" but know not all babies like to be covered.

Ok, now my "wish I never saw this!" scenario.

On a dark packed bus, on the way home from MK. Standing. Hear someone puking. No idea where it was coming from ... Until the lights came on. Lots of ewws and screams from people who unknowingly in the line of fire. Super gross.

Ewwwwww! That is my worst nightmare! You so win for me! Although secretely I'm chuckling on the inside :-D

Yes! There are nursing tops that can help you feed pretty discreetly without covering the baby, especially if you perfect the angle you hold the baby at Another way I've done it is in the baby's carrier. She doesn't feel like she's covered by a blanket but no one can see what's going on behind the carrier.

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.

I can see why he's your ex.

I am happy to say I've never seen any PDA at a Disney park. In all honesty, I can't imagine a less sexier place on earth.

My MIL and FIL met us for a day in Epcot last year. That was when I learned she's a two second hand wetter and never washes her hands after using the ladies room. I wanted to barf. If I'm in a rest room at Disney, even if I'm not using the facilities myself, I always wash my hands. It's just good hygiene in a place with so many germs.

waiting in line for test track and behind us was a young boy who was with his parents was *clearly* stressed about the ride. as we got closer, he got more and more anxious. finally time to get in the car and boy says "no, please, i don't want to" and when he didn't listen to his dad telling him to hold up his magic band, he grabbed the kid's arm and tried to force it against the mickey face post to get on the ride.

the mom had been "encouraging" him as they went but even she stepped in then and said she would stay off with him. dad got p!ssed and said "never mind, none of us are going!!!". saw them later in the park, kid looked relieved and was walking with the mom about 10 feet behind (still!) super grumpy looking dad.

I still don't get this.... My kids are pains in the butt. Last trip my older son REFUSED to go on Soarin', not because he was scared, or nervous, but because he gets very moody when he's tired. I didn't force him. I didn't yell at him, or grab him, I simply said "OK, I'll go myself and you can stay here with Mommy and your brother" (who was just two at the time). He followed of his own accord, and lo and behold... GUESS who enjoyed the ride... AGAIN...

I don't understand how a parent can try and force their child to do something that obviously makes them uncomfortable or terrifies them! In the end EVERYONE is grumpy and while it may not ruin the entire vacation, or the entire day, it certainly ruins that experience for everyone.

I understand we as parents spend a lot of money for our trips, and that we have this vision of our kids reacting like the ones in the commercials, and sometimes they do! But... for the most part kids are kids and they're not going to be in awe of a 15 minute walk and 20 minutes waiting for a show to see animatronic Presidents. As parents we can't "Griswold" our vacations. As my wife is fond of saying... "The hell with the Castle, you haven't truly arrived at Disney until you've witnessed a meltdown"

I think it's really sad that this thread has degenerated to another opportunity to shame breastfeeding mothers.

I personally love seeing breastfeeding moms in public. Breastfeeding is natural, normal, and healthy for babies. One of the best ways to help normalize and promote breastfeeding is for moms to breastfeed in public. I want to personally thank the moms who are reading this who had/have the confidence to breastfeed in public despite the harsh and, quite frankly, sad criticism that is often displayed.

I've been fortunate not to witness anything heinous in Disney World, but I will say I don't understand the people with PDA!! We were there in April for our HONEYMOON and there were still times when I was like "it's too hot, I can't hold your hand right now."

 

[cruisingtwins]

There is nothing to hide or a need to be discreet. It's just a kid eating.

 

[GreatLakes]

Man, I must always be there at the most boring times. There really aren't any thing I can think of that are bad enough that I wish I didn't see them. I have seen a few people who had too much at Epcot but no one really falling over drunk and did see a lot of people get sick after the inaugural F&W half marathon but seeing people throwing up after a humid race doesn't even register on the radar any longer.

Thank you! As a mother of 5 who breastfed all of my children I appreciate this. If someone has an issue with a mother feeding a child with her breasts as they are designed to do than that is the person with the issue. Please google historical breastfeeding photos so you can comprehend how puritanical we have become. And if you have an issue with a mother feeding her child I suggest you not look or cover your own darn head. In fact all those saying babies should be covered while eating I suggest eating all your meals under a blanket, perhaps that will teach you some compassion. And finally in all my years of breastfeeding I was never "showing off my boobs". My baby's head covered my nipple, the most you might have seen in you were being all pervy and staring at me would have been a little skin. So please folks stop with the shaming, if you are so offended about babies eating then don't leave the damn house and seriously google historical breastfeeding photos, a little education goes a long way.

DANG! Ya beat me to it!

Wow, I can't believe you just whip your bill out in public. Have some discretion, at least use a cover.

We were in line for Soarin' and there was a family directly ahead of us....mom, dad and teenage son and daughter. The son and daughter seemed to be goofing around a bit. Kind of annoying each other, but it was honestly so discreet and quiet I could barely make out what they were saying or doing...what I could make out was the annoyed Mom. She was huffing and hissing at them to cut it out. I had my back to the family and was facing Dh who suddenly went white and wide eyed. I asked him what was wrong and he looked over at the family....I turned around and the teenage girl was now leaning against the wall with tears rolling down her face. According to DH, mom slapped the daughter in the face...like one of those Hollywood style full face slaps. The dad and brother just kind of looked away. mom was 100 shades of angry.

As a CM I witnessed some terrible behavior from guests, let me tell you. One example that comes to mind of something I wish I'd never seen- A baby, crying its eyes out, left alone in the stroller while the parents rode Pirates of the Caribbean....

Thanks, FP+!

 

[Hannahinwonderland]

Needless to say, security was waiting for the parents when they got off the ride. Sure hope it was worth leaving your baby alone!

 

[wilkeliza]

Thanks, FP+!

Probably sarcasm but this has been going on long before FP+. My roommate in my CP told me of someone who tried to sneak a baby onto Space Mountain in their backpack. Same as above security was called very quickly once it was discovered.

I don't know how long ago your CP was, but that story is going around even now! Although I heard that it was Star Tours. People are terrible.
