What is your most embarrassing/funny Disney story?

[pktbMouse]

The year was 1988. My parent decided to surprise us with a trip to Disney by picking me up from middle school in a giant motor home...

One day my Dad went golfing and my mother took us to Epcot. One parent and five kids...at Easter...during Illumination my Mom starts screaming "Where is Clif?" and starts turning around and around in a circle...she was holding his hand.

Oh God Ive done that...ran about screaming like a mad woman..'WHERES THE BABY"???? and hubby said "your holding him!"

Mine happened a long time ago when I was in my 20s..we had just ridden the yogi bear and Boo Boo ride at Universal studios and you came out into Yogis Cave...there was this big stuffed Yogi sitting in the corner on the floor...my friend and I were the only ones there so decide to have some fun and take naughty pics with Yogi. Nothing too bad...just me sitting on his lap with my leg across his lap etc..I get up to walk away and so does the Yogi!!! I about died...it wasnt stuffed at all but someone dressed up!! ...didnt even stay to apologize I was so mortified...got out of there as fast as I could. Later on that day we passed the ride and Yogi waved at me...Im not sure if it was the same one or not but I averted making eye contact..LOL

I posted this once before years ago on a similar thread, and CPS didn't come looking for me, so here goes...

We had just arrived for our first DVC vacation as owners after a long day of driving. We had developers points that we were using at SSR, and we had never been there before and didn't know the lobby layout at all. Our son, who was about 4 years old at the time, really needed the bathroom, and was getting more desperate by the second as I asked where it was and guided him to it. I rushed him into the bathroom, and he was in such a hurry that he picked up the seat too fast and it fell back down on him. He started shrieking and crying, "Ouch, it hurts! Kiss my p*nis, kiss my p*nis and make it better!" (Never was I sorrier in my life that we had taught him the anatomically correct names for body parts.)

I kept trying to calm him down, but he kept shrieking, "It hurts, kiss my p*nis, Mommy!" with increasing volume. I could hear laughter coming from other stalls. Finally, out of desperation, I blew a kiss at him, and said, "there, you go, all better." Miraculously, it worked, and he calmed down.

And then he walked into the SSR lobby and announced in full 4 year old piercing volume, "Thank you for blowing my p*nis, it is all better." I spent the rest of the day convinced I was going to be dragged off property and questioned by CPS.

Not embarrassing but funny: my first ever trip to WDW we had a dinner reservation at Chef Mickeys. If you've ever been, you know how they'll have you swing your napkin around above your head. Well, my sister (around 6 at the time) forgot she still had her fork and knife rolled up in her napkin. Long story short, i was almost decapitated by a flying fork.

A couple of years ago, we went to 'Ohana for dinner, and learned all of the Hawaiian hand signals, and my dad was practicing them for the rest of the day, and telling us "I love you" and "Aloha" repeatedly. The next day, we were in Hollywood Studios, buying something, when my dad does a Hawaiian hand signal, meaning to say goodbye to the cashier. It was a complete coincodince that this cast member was from Hawaii, and as we are leaving, he says "I love you too, sir."

One trip in particular, I stepped off ME and into the lobby of POP. I immediately starting crying profusely. The anticipation of the trip was built up and finally being there became almost too much to handle. Of course since I'm crying, DH is consoling me, which then caught the attention of a CM- who also came over to console me. After taking a few deep breaths I was able to calm down, but was mortified that anyone other than my DH saw my meltdown.

1st trip ever arriving Nov 11th .... That will be me. I am going be over joyed and cry like a baby just to much happy but wow. I cry reading some of these funny stories for crying out loud. POP here I come!

I took my son, age 5, on a solo trip. Back story-- he toilet trained incredibly early and with absolutely no help-- just started using the toilet at 17 months, never had an accident. So by the time Kindergarten rolled around I wasn't in the habit of making a lot of potty breaks before rides. We hop on Living With The Land, and about half-way through he starts screaming "I have to go potty NOW!!" Despite my best efforts to keep him calm through the ride, the inevitable happened right around that last scene with all the smiling children with giant vegetables behind their heads. I was MORTIFIED. Even more so when I had to walk over to the poor CM's, a couple of college-age boys, and tell them so they could pull our boat for cleaning. And of course our park bag with a change of clothes was out in stroller parking... Thankfully my dad, who lives nearby, happened to have come over with us that day, and he was able to sit with him while I ran for the bag. We are now the family that stops at EVERY restroom.

One year we went to Chef Mickey's for dinner. My brother went up to get seconds. After a couple minutes we heard a loud noise, like something had fallen off the buffet. We all joked that it was probably my brother (as he is very accident prone). He comes back to the table with a sheepish look on his face. We joked and asked him if he knocked something over, thinking that it wasn't really him. He looked at us for a minute before nodding his head and laughing that he'd knocked over an entire tray of bread off the buffet! We still tease him about it to this day.

This is maybe only a little funny but I still get a chuckle. My son & I were down visiting my daughter 19-24 Dec. She was in the Disney College program and was working Christmas time. On the 23rd we spent the day with her in the parks and then that evening at the resort baking cookies and listening to Christmas music to give her a little holiday fun before we went home the next morning. We had been wearing our Santa hats all day and all evening. Late that night I went to the resort lobby to record a secret Christmas video message for my daughter as the camcorder was going to be her gift for Christmas morning. It was about 2AM when returning to my room, still wearing my Santa hat. All was quiet. Not a creature stirring not even a mickey mouse. My children nestled in thier comfy resort beds while visions of mickey bars danced in their heads. As I approached the resort elevator I was surprised at the clatter when out jumped a drunk and his tiny little girlfriend. They were on their way to the pool. He said in a boisterous drunk voice "Hey Santa where are your reindeer?" Me in my Santa hat ( I also have white hair and mustache but no beard) replied in my best Santa voice " Why up on the rooftop of course!". He said, suprisingly sheepish, "Oh". Then I walked up to him and asked "Have you been a good boy?" He hestitated with a pondering and concerned look and then jogged off to the pool giggling "Yes".

You would find this actually funny if you could have seen the look on his face. For a second he had a child like look of - maybe this is Santa and I'm busted. Anyway I still find it funny!

Most embarrassing was our recent trip a week ago. We ate at tusker house. The waitress dropped our bill and never came back (like 30-45 minutes). The bill had. a place for tip, and I had reserved it with a credit card, so I guessed they had changed things and it automatically charged to the card. I wrote in tip amount, signed, and off we went to the bathroom. The waitress chased us down and was standing outside the stall yelling about how offsite guests cant do that. I was mortified, i felt like everyone thought I was trying to skip out on the check. I gave her my card and waited in the bathroom with the littles while my friend used the restroom, and she returned it to us in the bathroom. It was definitely the most embarrassing time of my life.

Years ago I took my 15 yr old niece to WDW and we stayed at Port Orleans Resort. We had a very early start at 4 am to get to the Toronto airport and after check in, despite having a long, long day, we decided to spend a few hours at Epcot. We stayed later than we intended so didn't get back to the resort until dark thirty. Our room was in the Alligator Bayou section and we were the only ones walking on the path, in the dark, with all of the bushes and naturescaping around us. About half way to our room, I started to hear a rustle in the bushes and it quickly grew louder and louder. Those bushes were shaking. No one else was about. I knew that Florida had its share of wildlife. Snakes and gators and such. For heaven's sake, the place is called "Alligator Bayou", right? Fearing the worst, I grabbed my niece, pulled her behind me and yelled "OMG! OMG! Its a . . . its a . . . bunny? Yep. A bunny. Came bouncing out of the bushes. My niece just squealed with laughter. In my defence, it was a rather large bunny. They grow pretty big in the Sunshine State. However, my niece is now 20 yrs old and every once in a while she gets a real evil look on her face and chants "OMG! Its a . . . its a BUNNY!" I'll never live it down.

A few years ago, we needed more supplies for our room at AKL. My wife went to find a housekeeper to get them. When she got back, she was blushing. She said that the housekeeper she found could not speak english. When she asked for shampoo, the lady didn't understand, so she had to motion at her hair like she was washing it. The lady then gave her the shampoo. Should I also mention that we needed toilet paper?

One time in MK when I was little, we were watching a parade when Genie came and snuck up on my dad and startled him!

One time at Animation Studios Genie came up to my teenage DD and started doing the Bump with her. Everyone in the area was laughing. She was so embarrassed !


On our first family trip back in 2005 we were riding Maelstrom. We got to that part where the boat spins around backwards and a window opens to the courtyard below. Thinking we were going to go through the window and crash to the ground below I immediately start to panic, "Something's wrong with the ride, somethings wrong with the ride." Needless to say my entire family and other passengers in the boat were all looking at me ... like I was nuts .

On our trip a few years ago, DD was 2. We had dinner reservations scheduled for 'Ohana. They bring out the bread. I hand DD a roll, which she immediately launches. The roll hits a man sitting at a neighboring table in the head and lands on their table. I've never been so embarrassed. I apologized profusely.

On our trip this past May, we are on the bus at the end of a MK night heading back to Art of Animation. My youngest DD was 10 months. We were about halfway back when I feel something warm on my leg. She had a diaper blowout right on the bus. I hold her against me so I won't get anything on the bus. Yep, I was covered in poop.

About 10 years go before my kids were born, we went to WDW with my parents, sister, and nephew who was 3. We stayed at Poly. One morning we were shopping in the Boutiki. My mom uses a scooter, and she had parked it outside the store. I was in the store, and I hear a great commotion in the lobby. Apparently, my nephew had gotten away from my sister and hopped on my mother's scooter and came very close to taking out the tiki statue in front of the store. My mom grabbed the tail of his money backpack (the kid leash backpacks), which broke off when she grabbed it, but he did let go of the button that propels the scooter forward when my mom pulled on the backpack. My mom doesn't leave the key in her scooter anymore.

Two come to mind:

First was 2011, our second year, at night after our typical long day at the parks, swimming in the pool at POP Century. There were a couple of large beetles swimming in the pool (like 2” long). Beetles up here in Michigan are harmless. I scooped one out flinging it on the sidewalk somewhere. Told my wife she could do the same with the one by her. I hear a shriek, then “It bit me!” Me, being the macho type, walk over saying “No it didn’t. See!” I pick up the beetle, hold it in my hand. Then WHAMO! The thing pinched the **** out of my hand. Of course I yell, flinging the thing who knows how far out of the pool. Wife had that priceless, told you so, look on her face (completely justified BTW).

Second was on Tom Sawyer Island. Our first vacation to WDW, first full day ever in MK. It was my wife, 3 kids, my FIL and MIL. So we get off the raft onto the island. Kids were ahead of us. Start wandering through the paths and caves, then round a corner and the kids are gone. Like they vanished out of thin air! Wasn’t worried at first, but then we just couldn’t find them. Moments of panic… but we find the kids in a few minutes. (whew!) So we’re all together. …or so we thought! Now MIL was missing! Took about 15 minutes to find her. It was a crazy experience. Vowed never to set foot on that cursed island again (and we haven’t!)

In 1996, my 2 stepsons, DH and I were at Typhoon Lagoon on the lazy river. The boys were being rambunctious and not at all understanding the spirit of the “lazy river,” so I laid my head back on the tube to relax, closed my eyes and grabbed my DH’s foot who was on the tube next to me so I would stay connected to the “group.” After a few minutes went by, I opened my eyes to check on the boys when I see them ahead of me about 8-10 feet playing . . . with their DAD!!!!

I had grabbed a stranger’s foot without knowing it and when I looked back he and his wife, who was right beside him, were looking at me with huge grins on their faces. I turned bright red and his foot literally began to burn my hand. They knew exactly what had happened and were such good sports about it.

This past Christmas DH and I were shopping at the Disney outlet store. I was wearing my Mickey t-shirt, my Mickey tennis shoes, my Mickey watch, all while carrying my Vera Bradley Mickey purse. The manager chase me out the door, handed me her card and said, call me.... I want to give you a job. After that I considered starting Mickey Mouse AnonyMOUSE. Yes... I have a problem and I'm good with it.

Ok, I have been debating whether or not to tell mine. But here goes. I can't believe Im telling this!!

In 2002 I took my 4 , 7 and 10 yr old dd's to Disneyland. Once in a life time trip! It was just me and my girlies...great trip. On the last day we are there I decide to treat them to a character meal at Ariel's Grotto. All was going well until just before we were finished. You see, two years earlier I had had my gall bladder removed and I was still having some "issues". Well, I was beginning to have "issues" just before we were ready to pay. But the server was nowhere to be seen. Finally, I gave the money to my 10 yr old and told her "I can't wait any longer you pay if she comes by". Yes, I left my children alone at the table. I still can't believe I did that. So as I was making my way towards the bathroom, as quickly as I can, with out running it happens. Yep, my "issues" made an appearance. Right in front of everyone getting their autographs with Ariel. Luckily it wasn't noticeable. As I was in the bathroom cleaning up, I start to laugh. No one but me could sh** their pants at the happiest place on earth. I was just upset I didn't have anyone to share it with To this day my girls always give me a hard time about it. You know, "Do you need to go Mom? We don't want another Ariel's Grotto!"
