[wingnut3443]

On any of your trips, whats the worst thing you have seen happen? At the parks, resturants or even your hotels, either on-site, or off. Share them all please, it should make for interesting reading.

I hate it when I hear families arguing. It's usually a disgruntled man telling off his wife about some irrelevant issue. Last trip a guy at AK just about ripped his wife's head off in an argument on where the park exit was. Made a real impression on his whole family and the several hundred people around them

Myself leaving!

This one person had one of those mist spraying fans and pretended to sneeze on my wife and sprayed that mist in her face. Lucky for him my wife wouldn't let me chase after the coward. My wife told me to let it go. Also, we went to a character breakfast at the Contemporay and this girl (she was about 9 or 10) was wailing at the top of her lungs because her grandmother wouldn't hold her and she was terrified of the characters whenever they came within 20 feet of their table. And yes this girl was at the table next to ours. She would not shut up! Finally, her grandmother took her and the other two kids, who were well behaved, away. I felt sorry for the other two kids, they didn't even get a chance to eat hardly anything, much less take pictures with the characters.

9 or 10 and wailing??? Give me a break. Sounds like she was begging for attention, the kind applied with a belt to the back side.

The worst thing we ever saw was a man (he had his wife and kids with him) walking around the food court at ASMo with his winkie flapping in the wind. Yes, I am serious, hanging right out of his fly. My husband made a few subtle remarks to him, which went right over his head. I finally yelled, "Zip it up, man," at the top of my lungs. He ignored me too. When he sat down at the table about 5 minutes later, his wife said something to him and he put it away. We were flabbergasted. I don't have a winkie, so I don't really know, but my husband assures me that there is NO WAY you can be unaware that your winkie is flapping in the wind.

That 9 year old may have had a developmental disability. When my DS has what we call a "meltdown", we try to take him away from the situation, but that's not always possible.
Now for the man with the wayward winkie, I would have called security! He was probably a pervert!

My bill at check-out!

OMG, I would have died laughing!

 

[iwannabeminnie]

That is true about the disability. I have a nephew with the other kind of "I need attention" syndrome, so I tend to measure other children by him when I shouldn't. His illness is getting so much worse as he gets older simply because it works for him. Mom and Dad give in instantly to whatever he wants to shut him up, when I would beat the living daylights out of him.

A very long time ago on a trip with my parents, we were all at River Country. Well, there was this tube ride that you'd ride along in the water under waterfalls and such. Well, you'd come to an area where it would go down a ramp and you'd end up in a little pool before you'd go down a bigger ramp. Well, in that pool of water was a girl who was in her late teens, early 20's waving her arms to her friends calling them to her. Well, the whole time she was doing it she had NO clue her bikini top was down on the one side!!! Someone finally motioned to her and she went down that ramp SOOO fast! It was hilarious yet sad at the same time!

Iwannabeminnie - thanks for the biggest belly laugh I've had in a while. Something about reading the word winkie just struck me as super funny. I'm still laughing. Gross story, though. Really sorry you had to witness that.

Aside from the language used by mkpat above (3rd reply - great job, try explaining the meaning of J.O. to a 10 year old) it is the number of sunburned infants that you see at the parks.

 

[iwannabeminnie]

Not just the number of sunburned infants, but the number of infants? What do they REALLY get out of WDW? I think 3 or 4 is the absolute youngest I would take a child to WDW. I realize sometimes babies HAVE to go, but a lot of the time they DON'T.

The hot, tired and disgruntled parent yelling at the hot, tired and disgruntled child who is letting parent know they are hot, tired and disgruntled, that "I spent a fortune on this vacation and you are **** well going to enjoy it" or "I am not leaving this park today until we've seen everything there is to see." Obviously have never visited here or read any of the great guides out there which advocate highly the rest period during the day, especially in the mid afternoon in the heat of the summer!! We always build rests into the day even if we don't leave the parks to have it!!

Just saw 2 weeks ago... a drunken dad put his two children up against the railing too watch Illuminations at Epcot. Then as soon as the show started he literally pushed them both away and knocked his daughter to the ground. She ran off crying, and he stayed to take pictures.

I was at Typhoon Lagoon and we were in the wave pool, there was a few people bodysurfing and right after one of the big waves came there was this guy yelling at one of his children! He had lost his shorts in the wave and they had floated to the shallow end!!! He was yelling at his child telling him to get his shorts !!! The whole time this was happening, he was up towards the side with his wife whom was standing in front of him was trying to cover him up!!!! It was hilarious!!! The kid did finally bring him his shorts!!! He is greatful that he had someone with him!! Could you imagine being alone and trying to master the same situation???

Welcome to Winkie World

or

The Wonderful World of Winkies


I probably would have laughed at the guy...................................

Families arguing, I hate that.
Sunburned children, ugh! We always carry sunscreen so we can re-apply throughout the day.

Scantily clad women, and sometimes teenage girls. Teens and adults with vulgar messages on their shirts. What are they thinking??

Worst thing we ever saw was a woman falling off of a carrousel horse. It was pouring down rain, so everything was soaked. We were in line and heard a very loud crack. It was her head hitting the floor. Ride was shut down and paramedics showed up followed by men in suits.

I know I'm tired and I should go to bed and I know I would be soooo mad if if I had been there with my children, but that whole winkie thing just cracks me up. And then the following posts about it, just make me laugh even more! I'm calling my husband at work. I just have to ask if he would know if his "winkie was wayward". I can hardly type, as I just keep laughing! After I call, I will go to bed!

No question "Mr. Winkie" was enjoying himself!

Time we were most uncomfortable was on a late April - early May trip where the parks were loaded with unsupervised adolescents having their end of year celebrations in the parks. On Pirates of the Carribean the kids in the back of the boat were loudly making fun of a very large couple in the front of the boat. DH told them to knock it off but that and other incidents made us say we will never visit the parks at that time again, it was a free for all.
