Stories

[Walter]

These ar just some interesting stories from some of my various trips to WDW. You might not find them interesting, but I just thought that I'd share them with you. I almost put this in Chit Chat, but that's mostly threads that have nothing to do with WDW.

Okay, I'm not usually nasty to CMs at WDW, I'm usually really nice to them, but once, during Star Wars Weekends, I couldn't help myself. One of the aliens went up to me and shook my hand, and I touched it's head, just to feel it. The bad part is that I made a dent in it, and then said "You better get that looked at." I was a moron.

The first time that I ever went on ToT, at the end, it broke down. It was so weird, it was like the walls were closing in, and the track slowed. A guy came in and repaired it, and they offered everybody a free ride. When we went again, at the point where he says "You are about to enter a new dimension... A dimension of terror...", one woman screams out "No s***!"

One time, when I went to Epcot during the Flower and Garden Festival, I went to see Davy Jones perform, and, during one of his songs, he took a little kid up to the stage, and kicked a ball around with him. All of the CMs looked so worried, but it was great.

Just thought you might want to read some WDW stories.

I have so many different stories too from my many trips to the wonderful land of DISNEY!!

I am from NY so I wasn't used to the humidity down in FL...so my first time down there...I actually fainted from Heat stroke on line for Snow White. Everyone was so scared they didn't know what to do.

I had also gone 2 years later with a group of friends for a day....and the funny part was, is that to make it to our bus on time, my group cut through the nighttime parade...i believe it was the Electic Light Parade at that time...

One of the most amazing memories was with my mom back in '94...we were waiting for breakfast at the Grand Floridian...and I was attacked by tiger...it was soo funny...we even have it on tape...he came up from behind me and tickeled me...and I fell to the ground laughing...and then he tried to lay down with his head in my lap...he also hugged me and picked me up and spun me around when I was leaving.

Back in 2000 I made it down for Christmas and New Years..this was also in Memory of My mom since she never got to see it decorated for the holidays...when I finally got passed the castle...I just sat down and cried...

April of 2002 was my last trip to disney...I was really nervous about traveling around that time due to everything that had happened to me back in Sept. but we did it...my ex is NYPD and Disney honored them (and FDNY) with special tickets and rates....Every time a CM found out that we were NYPD and FDNY...they just imbrassed us and thanked us...It felt amazing to see that they were so honored by us...and I was just so happy to see them...and on our last day...when we were meeting mickey...when he found out they actually gave us a private meeting with mickey...we got to joke around and everything for about 20-25 min...

So all I want to say is thank you for reading my stories about this wonderful place...I am new to this board so I just wanted to say hi to everyone...and to have a "Very Disney Day" :wave:

First time I went to Disney World I was 5. I aksed my mother if I could get a drink at the waterfountain. AND, what do you know, about 10 seconds later, I GOT LOST! I ran around crying and some nice lady helped me find my parents. It's funny now, but I'll always remember that!:hammer:

Oooh I love these kinds of stories! Only 17 more days til we head off to WDW so hopefully I'll have some good stuff to add.

My story is pretty lame and it's a piece of advice for anyone who is iffy about rides. If you have any concerns about motion sickness, rollercoasters, etc. **STAY OFF OF BODY WARS!!!** When we went in 1996, Body Wars ruined me for the rest of the trip. Not only was I nauseous after that ride, I got nausous on everything I went on after that! Even the stuff like Universe of Energy, which is of course harmless. Oh did I mention that these other rides were not all on the same day, either? We were there for 2 days or so after that.

I'm looking forward to seeing the REAL castle. When we went before it was during the WDW 25th anniversary the castle looked like a giant birthday cake. I was really disappointed. But this time we not only get to see the real thing, we get to go inside for the Cinderella breakfast. I can't wait to see my little princess with her favorite princess.
