My most embarrassing moment at Disney, share yours!!

[Cadyrose]

On Friday evening the last night before we went home, we got on the bus to go to Epcot for a ADR from POFQ. The bus went to go pick up around POR and a woman and a small boy and girl got on. The woman sat beside me and proceeded to hoist the boy to her shoulder...and out came what ever he had eaten...all over my right shoulder. I jumped up and she just sat there as the boy "finished". The bus driver stopped the bus and cleaned up the mess and asked the woman if she would like to go back to her stop...she said no and that her husband was at Epcot waiting for them.

I just stood there with her son's meal all over my shoulder. All eyes went from me to her and back. She NEVER said a single word to me.

When the bus got to Epcot, I ran to the bathroom to clean myself up, but still you could see the stain and....
People who saw me later who were on the bus......."Hey your the one who got barfed on"..... I was NOT amused.

I'm not sure what's worse...that she didn't apologize or that she made the bus driver clean it rather than offering to either do it herself or at least help...or that she wouldn't even bring the child back and instead moved him on to Epcot...

I'm going with it's a three way tie.....

I'm sorry that happened to you!

I don't know what it was about the "Holiday Armadillo" story but that one got me laughing the most!!

Me too! I was driving in my car this afternoon when that story popped in my head and I started laughing all over again.

A couple years ago, I went on a day trip to MK with a few girlfriends. We had spent the day before on the beach where I proceeded to get completely fried by the sun (I'm crazy pale and from Michigan...oops.). I had woken up to a horrible rash/hives that morning but was determined to do Disney anyway! I popped a Benadryl and headed to the park. We were standing in line for Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, and I was just sort of rubbing up on anything and everything to itch my back, including the line railing/dividers. I don't know if it was the heat or the benadryl, but I just completely fell over randomly into the people behind us. Didn't lose consciousness, just awkwardly lost my balance. I'm sure they thought I was on drugs - which, I guess I was, technically!

Second-hand embarrassment here, but when I was at the World in May, I was standing on busy Main St waiting for MSEP when two young teenage cheerleaders came running down the street laughing and shrieking. One of them somehow tripped and managed to epically fly through the air, arms and legs flailing in all directions, and she lost one of her shoes in the process. She landed face down on the ground in the most ungraceful way possible, in front of a massive crowd of people staring on both sides waiting for the parade. To add insult to injury, as soon as she hit the ground, gravity took care of her missing shoe which landed down on top of her. Thankfully she seemed fine when she got up, and after it was obvious she was laughing, a guy in the crowd shouted out "I hope you're better at cheering than running!"

That sounds about like something I would do, lol. Instead of falling into a crowd of people, I fell UP the stairs at the Canada Pavilion....I was completely sober!!!!!

There's always one in the crowd , poor thing, like she wasn't embarrassed enough I'm sure!

 

[rachael95]

Nope, she stood there like nothing happened. I somehow was more embarrassed than her. I guess since I was wearing the evidence.

That's when you scrape it off with your hand, and then pat the woman on the back saying, "you poor thing, I hope everything goes better for you today."

Yay! My first post on the Disboards !

Short version of my story: I fainted on It's a Small World

Precursor to the longer version: My doctor isn't a jerk (like he'd come off if I didn't say this) it's just the way we talk to each other

Long version:

So it was really hot out. It's a Small World had no line so myself and the person I was with blasted through the queue and into a boat. Not sure what happened, but going into the first bit of the ride I blacked out. Came to near the end. Since it was just me and the person I was with (who was oblivious) nobody noticed.

It could have been the heat outside, and the quick switch to the freezing cold that is It's a Small world. I may have been a bit dehydrated. Whatever it was I lost consciousness.

Wanting to make sure I'm not dying (I did faint on Small World after all) I decide to go see my doctor when I get home after my trip, which leads to:

Doctor: Why are you here?
Me: I fainted on It's a Small World
Doctor: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... sorry, that's completely unprofessional... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA

Doctor: Hold on, I've got a medical student here from Germany. Do you mind if she comes in?
Me: Sure thing
Doctor: Ok... tell her the story
*I tell story*
Doctor (to med student): Do you know what it's a small world is?
Med Student: Nope

*Doctor proceeds to use his doctor's stool to pantomime riding It's a Small World across the office singing the song while swinging side to side doing jazz hands to mimic the characters*

*Doctor points at me*
Doctor: And this idiot fainted on it!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And in text that story makes my doctor sound like a jerk, but it was actually pretty hilarious. To give context to our usual conversations, last time I went in for a throat infection:

*doctor comes in and shakes my hand*
Me: You might not have wanted to do that, my hand is covered in germs
Him: You might not have wanted to do that. You don't know how many butts my fingers have been in today... three... it was three.

We're about 10 people away from getting on Buzz and its down at the moment. So, I was catching up on tilt his thread to pass the time. Thanks for the excellent laugh! Of course, the people standing next to me think I'm a nutcase now - including my family!

 

[aaarcher86]

Glad everyone's enjoying the story! You know it's gonna be a good one when your DH runs into the roof and professes, 'if security asks I was here the whole time.'

 

[My2CrazyGirls]

We were walking through AK and I handed my photo pass card to the photo pass guy with the camera....and he looked at me weird....and my husband said, that's NOT a photo pass guy! Oops!

 

[Gamegrl1]

Our first trip to WDW we went to the Magic Kingdom as our first park. We had walked a little ways in the park and all of a sudden I heard some woman scream 'OMG, it's Gepetto....Debbie, it's Gepetto!' Then I realized the screamer was me. Apparently I was really excited to be at Disney. I was 60 at the time.

Thanks for this. It's great we can all laugh at ourselves. Wish my family would get on these boards and see there are thousands of people who just pee their pants about Disney (in a PP's story...literally! - the sundress one). I had an embarrassing moment the other night and we haven't even got to the World yet. Family was all together and playing a board game. My bro-in-law pulled a card that said he had to do an imitation of someone in the room. I was shaking my head internally and thinking to myself "He's going to pick me...he's going to pick me" and sure enough he jumps up and down and shrieks in a girly voice "176 days until Disney World!" and everyone knew immediately it was me because I've been counting since 500.

Obviously he couldn't imitate his pregnant wife without ending up in the doghouse! Oh well, in 5 1/2 months I'll just be texting him with things like "We're just getting on Space Mountain" and sending him photos of me eating Dole Floats and meeting princesses, har har.

Two more that aren't too bad...

When ds was about 7, he swallowed a big mouth full of pool water an started gagging. I tossed him out of the pool just in time for him to barf on the ground next to the pool. They poured the powder on it. Right after that, my sister came down to the pool. "Watch out for the-" She stepped right in it barefoot. She said at least it wasn't a stranger's barf.
Last trip, a little 8 year old boy was chatting with me while I waited for dh to get my Dole Whip. His mom was in line as well, and the line was long, so we chatted for quite some time. When his mom came over to get him, he wanted to exchange numbers so we could meet up later in our trip. What a cutie! Just a little awkward!

Welcome and thanks for sharing! That is one extremely informal doctor... But I would have done the same thing

Thanks for helping this thread take over the DIS one post at time

Let's keep the stories coming, and the laughter going

I'm honestly getting the notion of creating a "Post Secret" type book out of this concept (all anonymous of course). Any thoughts? I think this is another fun way to experience the World, alongside the trivia/hidden Mickey's/ etc.
"Look mom, that's where the Holiday Armadillo appeared!" Or "Dad, are these the steps that poor person fell down?"

 

[radetoan]

I am really enjoying this thread!

Here's my story:

My DH rented a white mini van and took the whole family to DTD for an evening of fun. This was my family of 4, my sister, her husband and child, and my dad. We had a great time walking around and doing some shopping. When it came time to leave, my DH could not remember where he parked the car so everyone split up and searched the parking lot. We eventually found the car and my DH started to put all of our purchases and belongings into it. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just staring at him. He turned around and asked why nobody was getting into the car. We all pointed to another white mini van parked two spots over and asked why he was putting all of our stuff into the wrong car. What are the odds of finding an identical car with the doors unlocked? Needless to say, he has never lived that one down!

I don't know if embarrassing or just gross.

My son's first trip. He was almost 3. We were at HS and I decide to take my son back to the hotel by myself so DH could have some fun.

I was a relatively new parent (DS is adopted and hadn't been home long) and I hadn't learned all my managing my stuff and my child skills yet. SO I let DS buy a sucker on the way out so that he could be entertained on the bus ride back to the hotel.

Getting on the bus was a challenge for us. In the commotion of it all DS dropped the sucker on that nasty bus floor. You guessed it. It was in his mouth again before I had a chance to react. A mom looked at me stunned that I let that happen. I told her that the germs were in the mouth already. I wasn't going to make him cry by taking it away. She continued giving me a look like I should be concerned that child protective services was going to show up at the hotel.
