Last summer, when we were approaching the UK at Epcot when I heard a womans voice scolding someone (in a british accent). I turned around to see she was scolding her child, mind you my husband is taping at the time and he has my reaction on tape and then saying, "Thank God I'm not the only one who yells at their kid at Disney" She looked at me and I smiled because, a) I know what she goes though and b) her accent made everything sound so proper it didn't even sound like a bad scolding :lol:
We had just left TSMM and were walking behind a family with two children who appeared to be in their teens. The father was loudly berating his daughter and then began punching her. People immediately started to not only yell at him but yell for security, who showed up quite fast. The father claimed that, since she was now 18, he could do to her whatever he wanted and that she had no respect for him and was ungrateful. The whole scene was so loud, violent and upsetting, we ended up talking about it on and off for the entire vacation. You just don't expect to see that type of behavior from a family at WDW. As far as I could see, the family was allowed to stay in the park but was told they would have to leave if they didn't settle down. When someone asked the daughter if she was alright, she said that she was and "was used to it." Very sad indeed and by far the craziest thing I've ever seen at WDW.
I saw some guy get his nose broken on SSE
Is it getting old yet?
In Feb. 2010, while walking by the back side of Tomorrow Land I saw a woman wipe out a (fill-in the blank) and feed her 3 yr old child. Admittedly, I do NOT have a problem with the practice of feeding babies or children, but do prefer a little modesty. Call me old fashion, but I guess I wasn't prepared to see the "sights" while walking through Magic Kingdom.
Wait a minute. Wouldn't a woman breast feeding her child be old fasioned.
Last year we were on POTC and it broke down. After 5 min or so a CM appears and points to a boat in front of us and says it is stuck. He asks everyone in that boat to put their arms up, rock to the right, rock to the left and when he gets a good motion going says: Okay, that should do it, then disappears and the ride resumes.

At the MK, I watched a hawk fly in, grab a baby duck that was swimming in the river in front of Tom Sawyers Island and fly off with the duck in its claws. The mama duck was going crazy and little kids around us were crying.
I had to read this a couple of times before I figured out what the word was supposed to be...

The most horrible thing I have ever seen in my life was as we were driving to Disney. We stopped in the middle lane of traffic and here comes a puppy running from the other side of traffic. He made it across the 3 opposing lanes, the median, the car next to us and us and the guy next to us on the right just crushed him. My wife screamed "Oh my God!!!!" and started crying.
That was the most upsetting thing I have ever witnessed. We got to Disney and were just in a haze all day. It's all we could think about all evening and really ruined our first day there. Hearing my wife screaming may be the worst part of it actually.
Oh my gosh - that's awful. That would traumatize me. I wonder how a puppy even got on that road! Not a very magical way to start your day.
For me, there was kind of a funny experience at Flights of Wonder. A crow apparently built a nest somewhere in the theater area. Everytime a new bird was brought out, the crow would go nuts and swoop down & around the stage trying to warn it to stay away. It never quit. The hosts of the show were cracking up, and didn't know what to do because it was disrupting everything they tried to do. But hey, that's natural bird behavior.
Other than that, I thought the woman I saw her told her son that Mickey Mouse was going to rip his tongue out if he didn't shut up was pretty crazy.
