I had that happen once when my little boy was about 1.5-2 years old. Don't feel bad. It happens to us all.

My bad Disney experience was during my second anniversary. I started feeling sick on our drive to Disney, which was 18 hours in the car. I spent most of the ride sick.
When we arrived to Disney, it got worse. I had horrible nausea & just laid in the shower most of the time. I didn't leave our room for days. We spent half our trip with our biggest experience being shorts walks around Port Orleans. The last few days of our trip were great, and we added an extra day onto the trip to use the last day of our tickets. But overall - not my best trip!

How about this. This is always fun on the eyes!
Or the best one ever is this one: It MUST be highlighted or quoted by someone else to even be seen!
There will always be someone that dislikes everything that isn't the normal default font. :shrug:

I've been to WDW 15 times and there always seems to be some little mishap that at time seems to be quite terrible, but when I get back home I laugh about it and hope it never happens again. Sometimes things just don't work out they way you want them to. But in the scheme of things they are really just minor. I always have a ton of fun at WDW and I guess that's why I am planning my 16th and 17th trip. I've experienced just about everything "bad" that could happen at WDW (or any vacation). Everything from being sick to dealing with lost items, and coming into contact with hateful people. Most things I look back at and laugh. Here is something "bad" that happened when I was there this past July....
I had just bought a few souvenirs at the Magic Kingdom on our way to ride Splash Mountain. My items were in one of those blue plastic Disney bags with the castle on them. While riding Splash Mountain I placed my bag between my feet. I figured it would be the safest place. After I got off the ride we went to sit on the curb on Main Street to watch the lights parade. It was then that I noticed my leg....
The items in the bag were dry, but all the ink from the bag was now on my leg! It was pretty embarrassing, but also really funny. I got several weird looks later in the evening.
I've come to the conclusion that nothing is ever as bad as it seems really. If nobody died, it was a good day.

Last time my son, brother and I went, that's exactly what we did. My brother though it was strange that I was renting a car when we could use Magical Express and busses, but it was only around $100 extra. Afterwards he said that was the best decision!

HANDS DOWN... with another guest.
May, 2010... my gf (at the time, now fiance) were leaving the MK. We're park fanatics, so its rope drop to close (every day) of the trip. Needless to say, the weather was nice but regardless of heat or humidity when you're walking for 12 hours you tend just break down. You're tired, yet excited, all mixed emotions because at the end of the day you're at Disney... beats stress at work, etc etc etc.
Upon leaving the park, there are LONG lines for both the monorail and the ferry. People are patiently waiting their turn and we hear a commotion. Look to our right, there is a guy in his mid to late 30's (with his 4 year old son on his shoulders) and he's pushing through the crowd. An old (like 70's) white guy stopped him and the irate man punched this old guy in the face and started yelling at everyone " get your mother f'n hands off me, don't touch me mother f'ers"
it was nuts!

We have the same bad experience every trip its always on our last day. We go to DTD for lunch at Earl of Sandwich and do some shopping. Then as we are leaving there is this road sign that says I4 east to Orlando(we drive from PA) and as we drive onto the exit ramp the real world reappears. I hate when that happens.

The "worst" part here wasn't quite in WDW, but it's still my worst vacation experience...
This past August, I developed what looked like a heat rash on my leg midway through the trip. After 5 days, it suddenly started to itch, then my entire leg became red and swollen.
At the same time, the hurricane in the NE delayed our flights, and I was not feeling well, and "stuck" in WDW (ordinarily one of the coolest things every, but not this time).
The infection got so bad I spent two days in the hospital on heavy doses of antibiotics. My family had caught earlier flights home so I was all alone. I was finally discharged and had to literally race to the AP in a cab to make my flight home. The antibiotics made me even sicker, and I missed two weeks of work after getting home...not a good time!
Oh, and I lost a crown before taking an ambulance (at POP's insistence) to Celebration Health. Kinda the worst trip ever, lol. I can laugh about it now (I still have a massive scar on my leg) that it's been a few months, but it was a really awful way to end a trip.
On top of it, the doctor took a culture and it wasn't a staph infection or anything. We'll never know what caused the rash (which led to cellulitis - the red swelling and pain). One of those freaky mysteries, I guess
To erase the bad karma of that trip ending, I took a solo weekend to WDW for the 40th...and emerged unscathed

My worst Disney experience was Disney's "fault". Different than what others have posted here.
I was in Orlando on business and had one day to go to the parks. I had not been there for years. I chose Epcot. I was really enjoying myself, Epcot is about my favorite place in the world.
This was a number of years ago.
So, I went into The Living Seas, one of my all time favorite pavilions. I walked into the room where they showed the first film, but it was lit up and the doors were open. You could see the Hydrolators. They were open. You walked through them--no descent, both doors open. Into a corridor of plywood, then out into a gift shop in SeaBase Alpha. There were about 10 people in the whole place. No music playing. Nothing going on. Almost an empty space. Ghost-like.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I was stunned. I sought out two CM's and said 'where's the ride?' What's going on? And they both said something like "we don't know, they don't tell us anything. Yes, there used to be something there but now it's gone.".
I left the pavilion and sat on a bench for about 45 minutes. It was the saddest Disney experience, I was worried that the whole place was going down the tubes. No explanation, no nothing.
When I ride Nemo these days, I never criticize it because it was nothing like that nightmarish visit way back when. A sign, or some info for the cast members to dispense would have been oh so helpful. Sure, I over-reacted but it wasn't much fun.
