I'm frequently amused by stories I read but I rarely truly laugh out loud. However, right now, I'm laughing out loud. A lot. That story is awesomely hillarious!
This one got me, too.
I'm loving all these stories! I think I wanna hang out with you guys next trip!
My most embarrassing was more of a shock -
My friends and I were over at the railing at the CS restaurant at Mexico to watch Illuminations, and I had some fish and chips to eat (yeah, wrong country, I know).
I was standing right next to a trash can, so I was using it as a table. On the other side of the can was another group of people.
I was eating and watching, watching and eating, and then my hand brushed into another hand in my french fries.
The guy on the other side of garbage can was eating my fries!!!
I looked at him, he looked at me, then he took another french fry and turned back to the show.
I had no idea what to do. It was my fish and chips! I schlepped it over all the way from England! I turned to my friend and pointed at the guy eating my fries, and he sized up the situation, then grabbed the tray from the garbage can and held it in his hands, on the other side of me. The garbage-can guy looked upset about it, but what was he going to do? They weren't his.
Then, of course, my friend started eating my fries. And my remaining fish. So, I couldn't win.
We were at MK one day and we were planning to stick around for Wishes. DS however was done and DH said he'd bring him back to our room and I could stick around at watch the fireworks.
I grabbed a soda, found a spot on the Tomorrowland bridge and enjoyed Wishes. As it got done I turned to walk away from my spot and I leaned forward to take a drink of my soda and misjudge where the straw was in relation to my face. The straw was in my nose. In my shock, I pulled my head up. And the straw was still in my nose. There I was on the Tomorrowland bridge with people all around and a straw hanging out of my nose. Nice. I grabbed the staw as quick as I could and felt my face turn bright red. I still wonder if anyone saw what happened to me - the saving grace in that moment was that DH was not with me as he would have laughed his head off.
Lilo and Stitch stole my oldest's son's autograph book.....He was about 4 at the time. My super polite son, said please give it back...would you like to share etc? It went on for about 2-3 minutes when Lilo bends down and puts her finger on her cheek (taps it). My son, not knowing she wants a kiss, decks her. If you could have heard the sound of his hand hitting her big plastic face.....it was insane! The whole line of people goes OOHHHH.....
Memories!
DS was 13 mos and we were in line for Nemo the Musical......we were waiting for a long time....in 1yr old time....and with a group of 15.....DS had a huge #2 diaper and DH decided to change him in line instead of letting me take him out to the restroom......the people behind us threw up! I guess they didn't have kids.
edited to add....
a year later.....we take DD at 10 mos.....she met Mickey at DHS......and she threw up on him and me (she had reflux really bad then) the people behind us in line were all like ewwwww gross Mickey threw up!
Thats just gross and really inconsiderate of your husband.

On the last trip that DH and I took with my Mom and Step-Dad, the 4 of us were coming off of a ride (can't remember which one, maybe Star Tours?) talking and laughing. Assuming that DH was right beside me a step behind, I reached back, grabbed his hand, and kept walking and talking. My Mom looked back at us and stopped dead in her tracks laughing hysterically, and I was very confused...until I saw that I was not, in fact holding DH's hand, but a kid of about 15 with his eyes as big as saucers!
DH had stopped to look at something and was standing about 10 feet back laughing at me too

I just remembered another one..Okay, this might sound very strange, but I am very afraid of escalators. I know most people are afriad of elevators, but for me, I'd much rather ride an elevator over an escalator. I'm not exactly sure why I have this fear, but it is really bad and a major inconvenience. Anyway, on my last trip to WDW me and my family went to the CR to eat at chef Mickey's for dinner. We decided to take the monorail to the resort instead of driving. Everything was fine until we got off of the monorail and I realized that the only way to get downstairs was to go down an escalator. I immediately started to panic. My family walked ahead of me and went down the escalator, they look back up to see me standing there unwilling to go down. Then they all started to encourage me to come down. I was sweating and shaking, and I just could not get on it. After a few minutes, a CM noticed me and asked me if everything was okay. I explained to him that I am very scared of escalators. He was very nice and said I'm not the first one, which made me feel better, and he took me to the emergency elevator. Once I got down, we were all able to go and have dinner. My family had a pretty good time laughing at me though
I also have a hard time getting on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority seeing as how you have to go up and down something very similar to an escalator

As I am disabled, this really embarrassed me. My DH was trying to push me in our wheelchair that the Gaylord Palms loaned us as I fell on their property due to uneven flooring. While at MK, he was pushing me over those tracks in front of the castle, he didn't get the wheels over one of the tracks and totally dumped me on to the ground in my wheelchair. Making it worse, my then 2 year old was not feeling well so I was holding her in my lap, she was asleep, and she went down with me. The good part it she did not hit the ground as I held her up. It was scary and embarrassing at the same time. Lots of kind people stopped to help. Now I use a scooter lol
Thats just gross and really inconsiderate of your husband.
Couldn't agree more. What on earth makes people think it's OK to do this sort of thing????
We were at Epcot in 2008, with my then DD6 and DS19 months. I finally managed to convince the DH to walk through the worlds. We were in Mexico, and both of the kids were buckled securely into a rented double stroller (they're plastic, so you can't see into them from behind). My DH and I were reading a sign in front of a Mexican temple and I told him to turn the stroller around so that I could take a pic of him and the kids. When he turned the stroller, my son was gone! At first, DH thought I was kidding but it only took a minute for the panic to hit. I have never been so scared. Just as I was able to find my voice to scream, this lady came running to me holding my son. Turns out, we had ridden the shuttle together from the same resort and she was aadmiring my children's hand-made Disney clothes. She recognized him, and turned to see us in total panic mode. As embarrassing as it was to think that she may have thought we weren't watching our children (which we do) it wasn't a thought in my mind at that moment.
Oh yeah.......DD maintains her story that she had no idea that he had gotten out of the stroller (his straps were still buckled ) although she was sitting RIGHT beside him!
