My most embarrassing moment at Disney, Share yours!

Oh I was just kidding...............maybe

And if you're not kidding, there are members on here (<-------) with Photoshop who can make your photos more magical and family friendly ;-)

One day I went to the magic kingdom, was walking down main street right before a parade and couldn't help but notice that EVERYONE was starring at me. Well, I looked down and couldn't believe it. I was wearing nothing but my UNDERWEAR!!!! Oh, the humiliation.

As we plunged down Splash Mountain, my brother gave the the finger on both hands. When we got to the photo area, our screen was covered. It was slightly embarrassing.

Mine was a similar situation to yours. It was 1999 and our last trip to DL before we moved, so we decided to bring my grandma with us this time and we also went on Splash. When it came time to view the photo when you are still on the ride and it said, "photo not available", my brothers started cracking up and high-five'ing each other. Apparently, they "flashed" the camera. They were 15 at the time.
Now, my grandma has a very loud voice to begin with, and she just lit into them so loud and the things she was saying made people in the other logs ahead and behind us turn around and look at us.

I was travelling alone with my 2 daughters and we had just walked from the French bakery over to the boat landing on a very hot day. We were patiently waiting for that boat that moves at 2 mph to come when all of the sudden my daughter says, "I'm going to be sick"....we had about 25 people in line behind so we just got off the line as fast as we could but it was too late...she had vomited all over the nice people from Canada that were standing right behind us...it was awful.

A couple of years ago I went on astro orbitor which I hadn't been on in years. When it stopped, I couldn't get myself out. I wiggled and tried to push with my arms which I don't have much strength in. I really thought I was going to have to call for help. I finally got out myself before anyone came to take my place. Never again will ride that attraction.

Another fun story involved going with someone that was using a motorized scooter, as they had recently had heart surgery and were taking it easy. Not wanting to stay in that the whole time, they asked if I'd drive it for a bit so they could stretch their legs. Long story short, I'm driving it up to the entrance of "Lights, Motors, Action" and being beckoned ahead by the original driver yelling "Come on crippy, come on!" I was laughing so hard and the Cast Members were clearly trying to hold it in. Pulling into the spot where the people go with those scooters, I felt self conscious as I clearly didn't need it.

Every time I'm there IS an embarrassing moment. But my most one is when I was like five, and I had a picture taken in front of the Mickey's Toontown Sign. When we finished up and my family was talking, I really wanted to get into another picture so I scooted into another family's picture. The other kids were SO FREAKED OUT. I'm laughing just from remembering it.

First time we took our kids to Disney 2003 ...My oldest son was 9 (he also has Aspergers) . He loved dinosaurs and basically anything nature and science. I asked before we got on the ride what the attraction was like. CM told us its a bumpy ride in the dark I said ok I started to walk away and he yells after us . You might see a dinosaur here and there . I said ok thanks ! Lets just say by the end of the ride my son was in hysterics and the lady that was on the ride in front us turned around to tell me what I horrible mother I was for subjecting my son to this ride. Needless to say Disney security was called and we were taken to a location to talk things out . This woman was a MINISTER no less . She apologized and apologized again. I think I was probably a topic for one of her sermons.

The lady in front of you had no right to tell you that.

The lady in front of you had no right to tell you that.

You got it my face when she told me that Time does fly though . My son with Aspergers is now 22. And has conquered so much . Thanks to Disney. Disney has changed his life in so so many positive ways. But that will be a topic for a thread in my future.

I got yelled at. By another guest. For feeding the baby ducklings. Granted, I DID see the sign that says "please dont feed the ducks" but... I was selfish, I wanted a picture of them. This woman made it a point of slamming on her ECV brakes and staring me dead in the face and saying "you shouldnt feed the ducks cant you read the siiiign?" and pointed in the general direction of said sign....

Not that it was embarrassing, because *I* wasn't embarrassed (I kinda wanted to throw the bread at her instead of the ducklings, to be honest) but I glanced over and Mom had drifted 15-20 feet to the side, pink faced. Haha

I still got a good pic of said duckies.

Not really me...but...
We brought my in-laws to WDW with us in 2006. My Wife's father doesn't like to go on too many rides. He enjoys taking pictures and watching people have fun.
Anyway, we convinced him to go on Maelstrom. Since it was a boat ride, he was concerned he would get soaked ala Splash Mountain. We told him no...it's a small drop, not intended to get you wet. He agreed and on we went.
So the four of us were riding on the boat and those darn trolls expel us backwards toward the waterfall.
He turns around, looks at the opening and screams at the top of his lungs: "YOU LIED TO ME!!! YOU F***** LIED TO ME!!! YOU LIED TO ME!!! YOU F***** LIED TO ME!!!" " , over and over again.Then we stopped and moved foward and went down the small drop. He was frozen in embarrasement. My sister-in-law, who was outside the attaction watch our son, heard him. As did most of people in the Norway plaza. I especially felt bad for the elderly couple sitting in the front row of our boat.

A Thanksgiving never goes by with this being yelled back at him.

Oh goodness.. Well long ago... My brother and I were trying to see if the rumors were true about the hidden FastPass button in back of the kiosk that prints the tickets out. So as stupid as we were, we headed to Star Tours and there was not a soul in the distribution area (so I thought.) and we started to press the button in one of the kiosks. Alas, no FastPasses, so we tried another kiosk. BINGO! We pressed that button like there was no tomorrow! FastPasses were flying out of that kiosk! It all seemed too well, until I got a pat on my shoulder. I Star Tours hostess asked if all of those FastPasses were ours. I was caught red handed. So I admitted my transgression, and handed the FastPass copies to her. Then she said "Security will be keeping an eye on you guys." and we took the walk of shame onto the Star Tours standby line. When we got off, we saw her again, she smiled and waved and pointed behind us like security was after us. A cruel trick! I'll never do that again!

[rodmansju]

two most embarrassing @ disney happened on the same day, within 30 minutes. we were at epcot.

1st, my MIL and I were in line with 2 of my children (aged 5 at the time). my daughter decided in line that her little bladder couldn't hold any more...but she neglected to inform anyone until we saw the stream.

2nd, after exiting Soarin' (and passing a bathroom or two) we exited the pavillion and it was pouring. and we are right at the top of the entry way. and my son, who had been on Soarin' with us, and walked passed the restroom...just whipped it out. in front of god knows how many people. at least he got it on the plants i guess....

mortified doesn't even cover it.

runner up would be my nephew--i took him on ToT a few years back. he was so scared, at the end of the ride i found out he'd been holding not only my hand, but the nice lady next to him, her hand as well.

 

[jkl2000]

I just remembered I have one - it's just 13 years old.

My wife and I were in Epcot in 2000 with our son who was almost two years old. We entered The American Experience and sat down, but a couple of minutes after the attraction began, our son (of course) got up and started running up and down the right aisle of the theater. My wife went to go get him, but a CM came up to her (my wife said she was really nice) and said it was ok, just let him run around there, it would be fine. So my wife sat back down (we were close to the aisle). It was really dark, and I guess we must have been pretty far back because after a couple more minutes we realized that our son was way down at the front and while we could just see him, he was a bit too far away, and making noise too which we really couldn't hear well because of the distance and the attraction. At that point another CM came over to us and said we should get our kid. My wife explained about what the first CM said, but the second CM didn't even know who we were talking about, and seemed really surprised a CM had said it would be ok. We got up, grabbed him, and bailed, but that moment when we realized he was down there in the dark running amok, and then the confusion with the second CM, was a bit embarrassing.

I hated to have to leave the nice, cool, darkness - and we never even got to see Mark Twain walk up the stairs or whatever. I remember a horse...

Otherwise, he was very well behaved...

Love reading these stories. They are great!!!

Never again will ride that attraction.

These are kind of difficult to get out of. I don't like them because of that and the tilt when they fly it feels like I'm going to fall out. When I went there on my honeymoon I told hubby that they were kind of scary and I feel like I'm going to fall out and he just laughed at me. When we got off them he looked at me and said you were right they are kinda scary, we haven't been on them since.

Now this was't my embarrassing moment, but during my last trip my family ended up riding the Carousel at the start of our day in the Magic Kingdom. On getting onto the horse, my mum ended up ripping her trousers! It wasn't a little tear - her trousers were completely ripped! We rode the carousel, laughed a lot, then she went to buy some replacement trousers.

I thought the embarassing part was going to be that you rode the carousel first thing!
