I love reading those threads where we talk about what is your favorite, most disgusting, most embarrasing, most magical (etc.) moments in Disney World. I thought I would start a similar type of thread.
Have you ever seen somebody do anything in Disney World so outrageous, so jaw-dropping, and so out there that literally stopped you in your tracks and made you ask yourself if you really saw what you just saw (good or bad)?
One situation that comes to mind for me happened in March 2007. My wife and I were returning to the Contemporary resort via the monorail after a full day at Epcot. While waiting in line for a monorail, there was a family of four a few spots in front of us (Mom, Dad, Boy - 9ish, Girl - 5ish). Well, the older boy was leaning on the metal chains. The Mom asked him to stop. He did for all of 10 seconds and then proceeded to lean on the chains again. Well, the Mom did not appreciate it much. She proceeded to take off her belt, yell at her son that she had enough, and began whipping the boy with the belt right there in front of everyone. You could tell who wore the pants in the family because the Dad was looking away trying to ignore the whole thing. While this was going on (throughout the 4-5 lashes lovingly bestowed on the Boy), the little girl was singing happily that her brother was getting the belt. Are there people out there really like that? Did I really just see that?
Talk about making everyone on the plaform feel uncomfortable, not to mention how awful we all felt for the Boy, who was hysterically crying. A man standing next to them told her to stop, and she then lashed out verbally at the man to mind his own business. And wouldn't you know it? They sat in the same car as us.
(off topic - has there ever been a thought of opening an additonal forum for these types of "favorite" posts so we don't have to sift through multiple pages in the General Discussion forum?)
Just hope he doesn't do that on THIS trip.:lol::lookaroun
Seriously,how did MM handle it?
When i was in dl tons of people hit me with theier strollers and didnt say anything i looked at them rudely and still nothing
this reminds me of a flight to orlando. my friends and i and my parents were all separated becuase united had it that way. this weired man took down an ENTIRE BOTTLE OF PEPTOBISMOL, and passed out. i freaked. thankfully an older gentleman offered to switchMy DW and I were sitting at the pool at the AKL and my DD was swimming. Then we hear a guy yelling for his daughter in spanish. She comes over and they start to argue for a moment and he is handing her clothes. So right there at the edge of the pool a girl about 13 Y/O strips completely out of her bikini, towels off, gets dressed and they leave. It caused quite a stir.
After EMH at Epcot we wereon probably the last bus back to Epcot for the night. It was myself, DW, DD, father and nephew. We were the only people on the bus, but the drivers was still waiting at the stop for any final stragglers. All of the sudden about 12 people (looked to be college students) get on the bus and they are trashed. They were looking to get to DTD and were told the SSR route was the best way. Well the bus starts moving and we find out that are bus is being driven by Hot Mama Mickey as she announced this to the party crowd. The driver was worse that the drunks and was getting them all fired up and my 5 Y/O DD was crying because she was scared with the noise. I asked the driver to calm down the situation and she said that this is the PI time of the night and that this is normal. Now my 62 Y/O father is about to go in the back of the bus and fight a dozen 20 Y/O football players to protect his grand daughter. We finally got to SSR and survived the bus ride from heII.
It stinks because this ruins it for the people that want to go to Epcot and have a few adult beverages.
Last year we were in line for Pirates. I walked over to the fountain to fill the bottle (like 5-6 feet away) while the line was at a stand still. My husband bent over to tie his shoes. These two people that spoke French went from the very back of the line (at least 45 people) and got in line in front of my husband. There wasn't a big gap or anything between him and the next person in front on him. It was just normal line spacing so I guess they kind of shoved their way in. If I remember his story correctly, they almost knocked him down. I walked back from the water fountain and saw what they had done. I was angry to say the least. Several of us decided we weren't going to tolerate their rude behavior. This seems somewhat childish now that I look back, but I'm still glad we did it. Anyway, this family behind us was really angry, too. Once we got inside the building and into the narrow corridors, we worked our way back in front of the cutters. The five of us made a line and blocked them from cutting in front of us again. Believe me they tried, too. I felt bad at first because I thought maybe they didn't understand English, but they did. They would switch back and forth between English and French. They were saying rude things about us in French. As my husband and I were about to board, I turned around and said "I speak French, too" in perfect French to them. Their faces were awesome! All of the those years of French in school finally paid off!

When she was done the whole queue was staring at them in disgust...it didnt seem to phase them...guess it's normal where they come from.

I just remembered another thing that happened that really disturbed me a few years back. We were on the WDW railroad at MK and there was a family, I think they were British, that was sitting in front of us. The child was clearly about 4 years old - no longer a toddler, a "kid". Well the child was complaining about something to his mother and then she pulls him close and proceeds to lift her blouse and the kid began to breast feed. Now don't get me wrong, I think that it is the most natural thing in the world - FOR AN INFANT!!! Seriously - I was very disturbed by this and so was everyone around me. So wrong!
Mine would be, and prepare yourself.... when I was about 12 we were in Pecos Bills sitting down to eat. A very large man had a toddler with him who was having a big crying fit. The man had no patience. The toddler was on the floor about 30 feet from the door - he was crying and refused to stand up. So.. the father then literally kicked him to make him move and continued kicking him until they were out the door. To this day, I don't know why nobody said anything. Maybe they were just aghast and frozen by what they were seeing.
That memory will never leave me.
