Dumb things you have done at WDW

[EPCOTPluto]

Whew, that would have been a budget trip, trying to spend a week in WDW, with two adults and a child, on a total budget of about $280. I had visions of having to go begging for food.

I think it could be possible to spend $280 in a week at Disney. Takes lots of endurance and willpower, but it could be done. Was your first child a toddler or preadolescent certainly is a factor to behold in cases like that.

On a lighter note, spotting people throwing their fries or jello away and stopping them to give it to you brings a funny picture in my head. Though I always see people usually throw half eaten burgers in the trash.

Oh it could be done, but not a lot of fun.

Thats about $35 a day. So you are looking at around one counter service per day per person.

My kid was a toddler at the time, so yes, she would not have eaten much.

On my senior trip in 2003, a friend and I went to ride the Haunted Mansion. We were very giggly, and needless to say annoying. :lol:

One of the Cast Members saw this as a perfect opportunity to really get into character, so he followed us around the room that has "no windows and no doors." When they lights came back on he was right in my face! I screamed like I was in a horror movie and ran for the door! He chased us all the way to our Doombuggy!

Long story short....don't taunt the Haunted Mansion Cast Members. They will get you back.

On second thought...taunt them....and you'll have an awesome memory!

Wait, was this recent like June 13? I think I was in there when this happened. :lol:

In the first sentence it says 2003. I don't know if that's your definition of recently.

At least I didn't do this at WDW, then I would have to post it on here.

I never saw the date, just the basic information.

Now to my wonderful lifetime accomplishment. It's very simple, I had the famous turkey leg. Well, my late-wife and I was deciding where to go and what to ride. She was pointing at rides and I was pointing. I must have pointed too hard and slung the turkey leg right out of my hand and into a CM's face. Instead of apologizing, no, instead I had to make a joke about it. Which I was worried, the CM was very calm though, but I felt like an idiot.

Thank you to everyone. This is the first Topic I ever started that went somewhere...I love this place......:wave:

At check-in, I tried to verify that park tickets on our KTTW were OK. I was forgetting that I had an AP and the park tickets would only show up on my families' KTTW and not mine. The folks at the resort kept checking MY KTTW and telling me that there were no tickets. Had to go to customer service at one of the parks. Left the family at the resort and went over to MK to figure it out. They figured it out there, but between that and solving a problem with the rental car, it wasted almost the whole first day of the trip.

I was so stupid, because all I had to do was ask them to check the other KTTW and eveything would have been fine.

But as you all know, there is lots of magic there, and as a result, the CM who figured it out saw that I was mad at myself, and put in a special computer file four special access passes for the whole family to any attraction to be used at any park during my stay - and I didn't ask for a thing - she was really nice.

Also, they didn't have my class of car to replace the one with a problem at the WDW car care center, which already was an upgrade, and so they replaced it with a nice hot specialty car (can't remember what it was, but a nice big tricked-out american-make muscle car with a big V-8 - very cool).

So all was not bad.

The end result wasn't all that great but it's funny to look back on it 18 months later.

My ex and I took our 2 boys for 10 days in Dec 07 @ ______ (Sun thru following Tues) and on the Thurs we planned a "day off". The whole day was great, chillin @ the pool, playing football, arcade, lunch, etc.... When we got back from dinner @ The Contemporary we decided to go in the pool again.

I grabbed the room "key", my towel and my cell phone..........welllllllll.......my kids are in the pool yelling for me to come in. So I did.......with my cell phone still in my pocket!!!!!! I jumped in......felt the vibration as it said it's final goodbye and I said....OH ____*T. Yup....it died.

When we got home, I went to the Verizon store to get a new phone and told the guy what happened and I told him, "Not even Disney magic could save my phone". :ROFLOL:

I was in my early teens with my younger cousin back in '93, and we were in Epcot one day (far before any significant changes had been done to SE or other parts of the park), and we decided to walk into that section (name slips me at present, someone help!) under Spaceship Earth where you had that long row of touchscreens where you could make your dining reservations by calling up a Cast Member. Well........stupid us........we got the idea to start touching several screens at one time and back away from it so the little camera couldn't find us, basically making prank reservation calls on the Epcot operators. We did that for maybe 10 minutes before one of those we pranked obviously alerted someone in the section and we were promptly asked to leave that area. Much embarrassment there!

On our first trip in 04 to CBR i was so excited to be there at last that as soon as me and my wife had got to our room i wanted to be off so we shot off to old port royale. After a hour of looking round n getting something to eat we headed back to our room,but even though i had assured my wife i knew which room was ours i didnt have a clue.
But 2 hours later and a phone call to the custom house i found it.:hammer:
