Worst Experience at a WDW park, ride, or Hotel.

[Disney1fan2002]

The only bad experience, but it was horrendous, was when my 2yo and 4yo were sent through the Haunted Mansion alone.

The Cm had sent us to a car that was too far up on the platform, I waited for the kids to climb in, and just was I was about to get in, the door to the car closed. My brain did not register what was happening, as I was trying to pry open the door. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't open the door, I would not let go of the car, until I was pulled onto solid floor, and my arm was going to get ripped off in the tunnel. I had to let go. The SCREAMS I heard. My kids were absolutely horrified that I was not in the car with them. My Dh was directly behind them with my older DS, I yelled to Dh that they were in front of him, and I asked the Cm where the exit was. (why I didn't ask him to stop the ride, I don't know, I was just panicked and knew I had to be at the exit when they came out) He told me there was no way to get to the exit, I had to go through the ride. WHAT??? MY KIDS WERE IN THERE. He just shooed me to another car, I hopprd in, I am now about 10 cars behind them. I have all I can do not to burst out crying. What were they doing, were they dead of heart failure? Pure fright? Were they trying to climb out of the moving vehicle. Were they going to be TRAUMATIZED???

After what seemed like 100 years, I finally made it to the end, my Dh was holding onto the 2yo, who was holding onto daddy for dear life, and he was hysterical. My 4 yo was standing next to him, she looked fine, until she saw me, and then she just lost it. "mama, why did you leave us????!!!!" That did me in, I crumpled into a sobbing mess, and grabbed her up. All of us exited, crying our eyes out (except for Dh). We sat down on the bench outside the exit, to try to calm down. Someone saw us, and knew something terrible must be wrong and went to get someone. A manager of the ride came over, and I just lost it. I could not believe he (the cm) did not stop the ride once he knew a 2 &4 yo were on it ALONE. I pointed out to her that every SINGLE ride in WDW has a posted sign stating that nobody under the age of 7 can ride without an adult. So why would he not stop the ride once he realized the adult was not on it with them???

She was very nice, and helped me calm down. She was horrified also, it never, ever should of happened. She offered to let us go on the ride, together.It was a great idea, and I took her up on it, because I did not want that to be my kids last memory of HM. I wanted them to go through it WITH ME. So guess what? We went back in through the exit, to the loading platform. It was literally a straight walk back in. The Cm had told me I could not access the exit from the loading platform .....BS! Also, the manager went over, hit a button, and the ride STOPPED. It stopped so the platform would not move, and my kids could make sure I got in with them. Amazing, how a punch of one button stops that ride.

It has been 4 years, my older Ds will bring it up occasionally, but for the most part, I was more traumatized than the kids...I will never, ever forget it.

This is not only a bad experience but a frightening one. We were leaving Epcot to get on the bus, when a man and his wife starting fighting! He started punching himself in the face over and over again. Needless to say, everyone on the bus was staring and very upset. He even did this in front of his two young sons! We were all glad to see security arrive quite quickly!!! This happened 8/13/05.

Okay, I thought of something else that happened on our honeymoon back in 1999. Yes, the same year I was subjected to 20 minutes of non stop "Ittssss a SMAAALLL worrlllddd aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafter alllllllllll"

We were staying at the Caribbean Beach resort. At some point during our trip to MK we had taken advantage of that yummy fudge deal where you buy 4 squares and get 2 free. The second to last night we were eating some of the fudge, slicing small pieces off with the tiny knife they gave us. We wrap it up and put it on the end table and the next day go out and hit the parks for our last full day.

Well that night I opened up the box of fudge only to find that just about half of each piece was gone and a plastic fork was in the box. I called Matt over and asked him if he had gotten a seriously big fudge craving in the middle of the night. He says no, that he hadn't had any since we both had some the night before.

Apparently MOUSEKEEPING got a bit of a sweet tooth and went and got themselves a plastic fork and chowed down on half a box of the fudge.

When we called the manager of the hotel and told them what happened, they went back to see who's key had opened our door that day and asked that housekeeper if they had eaten all that fudge. Her reply? "I didn't think I ate that much"

"I didn't think I ate that much"

OMG!!! Did you get replacement fudge??? That's horrible but it's hilarous!!! I wonder what was going through her head.
