Did I Really Just See That.....in Disney World?????

[kasey1988]

Mines not to bad comapired to some of these, but still not right!
We stopped at one of those little carts when you enter main st, that sell glow sticks, hats, autograph books, waterbottles, etc. Well, while we were picking out what we wanted a father and his young child (5 or 6) came over grabbed one of those long glow wands and stuck $5 in that place of where he removed it and walked away! Apparantally it was to much effort to walk to the other side of the cart and pass the money to the CM working, and i can bet you that long glow wand cost more then $5.

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.

OMG i would have called police and probably had words with him. poor baby!

Are we talking about stories from WDW or Fantasy Island?

 

[Agent1964fem]

This isn't really that bad in my opinion. Anyone ever have any experiences with the Brazil tour groups?
We went July 2007 we were standing in the line for the Rockin Roller Coaster and there was a Brazilain tour group standing at the metal railing before you enter inside the building. The start pounding on the metal railing they did this really cool beat and I was thinking how cool is this is this part of the show or what? There were people applauding yaaa ...:lol:

Last month while in the world we saw a mom yelling at Norway in the world showcase trying to find her son. She was holding a beer and screaming her head off at people about her son. She finally found her but than continued to yell at the kid, that was crazy.

Back in July 2003 I went to the World with my family (mum, dad, brother).
Mission:Space had literally just opened - it wsn't even 'officially' open yet - it was previews.
Of course back then, they didn't have the green and orange versions. And this was long before they actually provided puke bags at th end of the orange ride.
So we ride it.
Dad comes off feeling woosy.
Where do we decide to head next? Body Wars! (Yes, it was still open! *sniff* lol)
So dad and I go to line up. Mum and brother waiting outside.
We gets on ride. Ride starts. Dad doesn't feel too good. Dan gets bad feeling about this.
Then suddenly midride, my dad throws up everywhere. He bangs on the door and the ride comes to a screeching halt. Lights go up. People behind us start going "what happened?" - "ew that KID puked!" MEANING ME! Everyone on the ride thought I had thrown up!!!
No word of a lie, as soon as the CM opened the door I ran like hell. I left my dad behind and used the nearest fire exit to get back outside LOL.
My mum and brother were like "where's your dad?" - "he threw up everywhere and everyone thought it was me!"
Dad comes along a few mins later feeling all sorry for himself and says "shall we get an ice cream?"
I have never been so embarassed in all my life.

 

[OilSlinger822]

Well this happened on my last trip this past May...

I was eating somewhere in AK (I don't really remember where)... but me and my friends were just chilling, eating our food and minding our own business. Then this family walks up.

There's like 12 of them... only 3 are adults (well..older than the rest. They didn't really look quite old enough to be considered adults). This kid, about 3 walks up to this girl with them and says "I'm hungry!!" I thought she was his sister, but then all of a sudden she whips out her !

He sits right donw on her lap and begins breastfeeding (which I think if perfectly fine if it's an infant...and at least cover up a little)...But no, she just has her hanging out of her shirt while this toddler...does his thing.

If that isn't crazy enough, ANOTHER kid says she's hungry and then she says "Wait ur turn, he'll be done in a minute"

:shrug::veryconfu:lol: I just walked away....

 

[MAGICFLOP]

Was at a mens room and a women (term used loosly), stood next to me in the urinal. "She" even said hello to me! LOL, made for an interesting dinner conversation.

What did you say at dinner? "Do you always urine in the mens room?"

:sohappy:sorry dude ya left the door open for that one:sohappy:

[disneydarling09]

This might not go along with this thread but...All my aunts and uncles and my mom and dad went on a trip to disney. So my aunt had invited a couple they know to come meet them in Magic Kingdom. They had just bought their two year old daughter the whole minnie mouse ensemble patent leather shoes, dress, ears and all. My mom is a tell-it-like-it-is kinda lady and to tell the truth, she really doesnt care who she offends (its actually quite endearing, believe it or not) So my mom had never met this couple and they hadnt even made it to the group yet to be introduced when she spotted them. She loudly proceeds to say, "Oh my god! What the H*ll is that? Who would dress their kid up like that? She looks like a clown. I swear some people are just idiots...its 9 million degrees out and they dress their toddler up like a circus performer! etc etc..." My aunt whispered that they were the friends she was waiting for and my mom stood up to shake hands and said in her sweetest (fake :lolvoice, "Oh now, look at her...Isnt she adorable!?"

 

[Tink423]

The only thing that has raised eyebrows from us was when we were coming out of the pin store near the shooting range at MK (name escapes me) and we saw a mum steering a young lad into the shop (boy about 7ish) and the kid was in floods of tears and just stammering over and over "Please don't hurt me, please, please don't hurt me".:lookaroun

Other than that, it's the usual cringe worthy sights - most attributed to Brits Abroad!!!:lol:

Ok, so I have a 2yo who when she knows she is in trouble will yell, Help Me, Help Me! I swear she has gotten the "shock her swat on the hinney" one time when she was playing with my stove! BUT everytime I tell her she is in trouble she starts yelling Help me Help me, like I'm going to kill her! She is a rather dramatic child for 2, I swear she does this at WDW and I will just die!

 

[UberPlannerMom]

I'll share my story. My DW and I were walking in Epcot heading toward the Land Pavillion. A very hefty gentleman was walking toward us. As he approaches, he uses his finger to hold one of his nostrils closed and proceeds to blow a meteorite-sized chunck of booger out of his other nostril.

I was so shocked that before I could stop myself, I let out a big "Ewwwwwwwww". Well, he looked right at me and wiped his hand across his nose and wiped it on his pants and kept on walking.

My wife and I looked at each other and just started laughing. Now, everytime we walk in that general area, we shout "incoming!" at one another.

That's called a farmer blow. You must have been at WDW during super hick week!

 

[UberPlannerMom]

Let me first say that my complaint is solely based on the level of uncomfortableness it caused me when the event happened...while I know it's natural.

So I'm in Philharmagic right...there is a woman sitting directly next to me with a two year old boy, her husband, and another child. The show starts, she whips out a b:hurl::hurl:b and starts breastfeeding her two year old during the show!!! I had to hear and see some strange person's b:hurl::hurl:b during the entire show!! It was a big Don't Do it Gal!! I know a kid's gotta eat but c'mon now, go into a bathroom or rest area and do that - NOT on a ride directly next to a poor guest!! People skills guys, people skills.

Vomit! :brick:

OK Maybe it is just me but why do people expect mother to FEED their children in the BATHROOM? I mean what would you say if the kid was eating someone other than breast milk in the bathroom? Say, a hamburger? I mean really!

 

[RebeccaMA]

This is an old thread, and I am beyond the "breastfeeding in public" stage of my toddler's life, but I do still breastfeed in private so I'm going to jump on this anyway.

Just because there is a place to privately breastfeed at a park, doesn't mean it's a CONVENIENT place. If your family is waiting in line somewhere to go on a ride, or maybe they are enjoying a ride already, do you really want to hike back to the designated area the minute your infant starts screaming in hunger? Or do you want to find the nearest thing to "quiet place to sit" and do what you have to do? That makes more sense to me. My dd was never good at breastfeeding in public. She just got too distracted if there was other people or lots of noise around, even in places that were supposed to be designated for the purpose at State Fairs and such. However, in defense of all the other moms out there who do breastfeed in public, I can totally understand why.

And really, when the infant is feeding, you can't see much anyway. Trying to cover up can be difficult, even with the special nursing shirts, plus if it's 90 degrees out you really don't want to be wearing extra layers or blankets anyway.

Now, as to the mother who belted her little boy in public... that started this whole thread, I think the CMs should have gotten security and removed that woman from her family for a long, long time. Those kids deserved better than that, and maybe the DH did too.

 

[KingStefan]

DW bought a package of newborn cloth diapers. They are about 10-12" square. They were great for putting over your shoulder when burping our DDs, and may other uses, among which was draping over DDs head when she was feeding in a quiet but not-exactly-completely-private area. Just made a little tent wrinkle so she could breathe. Nobody ever tsked, or even seemed to notice what was happening, for that matter.

I'm all in favor of womens right to breast feed as conveniently as possible. And if it's done discretely like that, nobody (or almost nobody) seems to mind. I do see the point that some people are making about women who simply bare a breast and latches the kids on, however.

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

To think society could collapse at the brief site of a nipple at Disney. No wonder shrinks are so busy.

best avoid European beaches if breast feeding sends you doo lally. Itll turn your daughters into slappers and your sons into predators. allegedly

Seen that one a couple times espescially at the end of the night. Someone who can't wait in line will just drop money on or near the register as if they were picking up the sunday paper from the corner store. At least my guy had claimed to leave a tip!:shrug:

 

[UberPlannerMom]

He had enough time to dig out the potty chair, find a spot and set it up. But he didn't have enough time to get to the restroom? PLEASE.

What ever happened to diapers?

OK wait-- are you suggesting that they should have put the child in diapers? I don't agree with dumping the poppy on the ground and all that but still you should not ever put a potty trained child back in diapers. That confuses the heck out of them. Just saying...

 

[UberPlannerMom]

OMG I soooo totally agree with this!

On the potty issue that's been discussed, when we took the kids to WDW, our DD had only been potty trained for about 6 months. There were a few times when she looked at me and said she had to go NOW, once we were even on line for a ride and were next to get on the ride. I took her and RAN with her to the nearest bathroom (I even had to carry her to get her there faster and I was 23 weeks PG). There was a line and I asked the women there if my DD could go next since it was an emergency and she was newly trained. Everyone said yes and no one seemed upset. She barely made it, but she made it and I made sure she went in the bathroom, where our society tells us we should go (unless we are camping!). When we made it back to the ride, the CM had let DH and DS wait for us at the front and let us on the next ride. There are quite a few (clean) bathrooms all over WDW and it's pretty easy to get to them. The majority of people would not mind letting a younger child go in front of them, if need be, and if they do get upset that's better than letting your child go behind a trash can.

LOL I like this! Hey, if parents think it's ok to do what their kids do to give them a taste of their medicine, why can't we do it to parents who beat their kids? And I have to say, this was not one or two hits, this was a full on beating! The mom was going on and on whipping this kid like there was no tomorrow, when all he did was hold onto a chain...

I just want to agree with how nice people are about letting little ones go first when it is an emergency. When I took my little girl she was four but she still wouldn't tell me until it was an OHNO situation. Actually, now that I think about it- she is still like that in the car. Note to self-- must work on that with her!
