For those who haven't visited WDW, it's a long straight tunnel with a slight grade to get below the tracks. It has some backlit pictures of star formations on the walls, but it's very dark (especially after being outside). Anyway, somebody in my group discovered that because the floor and our shoes were so wet, you could just sort of lock your knees and shakw your hips and it would move you foreward. Obviously, this was more fun than walking like a sane person, so I had to do it. I shimmied my way down the ramp, and suddenly stopped. I had just ran into some random lady right in front of me, who was shorter than me and well hidded in the dark. I'm pretty sure that if she wasn't holding onto the railing, we both would have hit the floor. I apologized and felt really bad about it, so I tried to switch places with the person behind me (who was in my group), but that area was so narrow that it was impossible to get around eachother, and I had to stay behind the lady for quite a bit longer.

Unaware that my sexy bunned man had walked around to the isle behind me, I kept talking thinking he we was right next to me. (I'm sure you can see where this was going). Not paying attention, I mistakenly grabbed the buns of the guy standing next to me (thinking it was my husbands buns) and said those magic words... "Hey sexy man, nice buns." I was thanked by a very nice older gentleman who smiled ever so lovingly at me. I almost puked!!! I was so shocked to discover that it wasn't my husbands buns that I had grabbed, but a complete stranger's. I didn't know if I should cry or run! To ease my pain, the man softly giggled a bit and said, "Your husband is a very lucky man...my wife hasn't touched my back end in years." Just as he said that...guess who walked up!?!!! Oh gee...Hi honey with the sexy buns on the isle behind me!!! I explained to my husband what happened (nearly in tears) and to my surprise my hubby looked at the gentleman and said, "Isn't she great?" OMG!!! Needless to say, I now pay closer attention to where my husband is standing before I go "grabbing". So not a Disney moment!!!!

Here is one that is small but still kind of funny. Well, at least to my family. This was at WDW. I was 17 years old and I hadn't been since I was a kid. I was going on HM for the first time (when I was little it was WAY too scary for me) and I didn't know what to expect. So we were in the stretching room and all I hear is that someone is going to be our host (of course I know the whole thing by heart now) but I was expecting someone to show up. Out of no where my Mom grabs my sholder and I screamed. I thought for sure that someone or something had come up behind me. I must have jumped so high that I could have hit the skeleton hanging at the top. People around me were laughing at this 17 year old kid that almost crapped his pants. To this day, my sister has to remind me of it. Remember the time... Yeah, thanks sis.

Originally Posted By Maleficent one ok so my last trip was the trip from hell.. and pretty embarrasing.. and not the good embarrasing.. First of all i went with a coworker and her 2 daughters 12 and 8 and 17 year old cousin. Every single day the 8 year old would pee her pants ON the ride. it happened on haunted mansion, pirates, splash mountain and others.. and the worst part was that the mom didnt tell anyone after so they could clean it..AND she wouldnt take her daughter to change she would put a sweater around her waist and let her ride rides... i would not ride things with her.. she even had me go buy pull ups for her, did she make her wear them??? no.. and honestly the first time it happened i was like its ok she just got scared... but after the second time, she should have learned her daughter gets scared.. it was just embarrasing walking around with an 8 year old that smelled of pee.. maybe its mean of me to think that, but it was awful. And finally i got tired if it and told my coworker i couldnt take it anymore and that i would no longer ride things with her daughter. or at least be the one to sit next to her. i dont care if u are 8 or 80. if u cant hold your bladder, dont sit by me. i mean that in the nicest way i can mean it. oh and then the last day we were there at 11:45 pm my coworker started yelling at me in the middle of the store for something i didnt even do and then she decided to yell something extremely personal in front of everyone too.. so thats the way i remember my last trip.. pretty embarrassing.

Originally Posted By JSkellington29 WOW, I thought that my kid peeing on my lap was bad and he was only three and only did it once. I am telling you right now that if my kid was 8 and kept peeing their pants, I would have taken them back to the hotel room until they understood that they were too old to do that. If it was because they were scared, I wouldn't take them on the rides that were scary to them. To me it sounds like the girl thought it was ok because the mom didn't do anything about it. If I were you, I would have said something sooner or at least hinted at it until they got it. If they didn't I would make a reason of why I had to split up for a while.
Originally Posted By Lil Mermaid So a few years ago we were going to the park just to catch the fireworks. We noticed that we were going to be late so my dad and I started to run. Well, I wasn't watching where I was going and ran straight into a light pole infront of the ticketbooths. I hit it so hard that I passed out. When I came to I had a crowd around me and I was in so much pain that I started screaming (I was incoherent). I had a bump that was described to me (many weeks later) as a carmex lip balm tub under my scalp, it was so big. Everyone was concered because I wasn't making any sense. I got a wheel chair and was raced to the nurses station via backstage. My family got a kick out of it while I was trying to stay aware. I did get to see the backside of main street. I sat on the bed while the doctors evaluated me and decided that I would be okay but to watch out for a concussion. It was pretty embarrassing. The worst part was the next day I moved into my apartment for college and had to meet my new roommate with a huge knot and black and blue eye. Try explaining that....

What some folks'll do to see the backside of main street! Naw, just kidding. Sorry about your pain and embarassment and SO glad you're hear to talk about it today! xoxo
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin Great stories! These are SO amusing. The only story I can think of is one time I went with a group of friends when we were 16. I'm over 5'9 and was then too, and I'm not skinny. So I was going to sit alone on the Matterhorn but this guy friend said we should go together and he'd sit behind me. I argued but he insisted. Well, apparently, on one of the turns I slammed back into him and I heard an Urmph! When we got off the ride he still couldn't really speak and couldn't walk very well at all. We had to wait by the exit for a few minutes. I was MORTIFIED. To this day that friend refuses to sit next to me on any ride.
Originally Posted By Doom Buggy Driver Real embarrassed about this story. We were in The Emporium shopping and I found something I really wanted, don't remember what now. We always split up and scatter as a family until we get ready to leave the store. My DH was wearing a Grumpy shirt and blue jeans. I saw him bent over a counter looking at something in a case so I walked up behind him and took his wallet out of his back pocket. As I did this I told him I hoped he had enough money to pay for my stuff. Imagine my horror when he turned around and it wasn't my Husband! I could have died! The guy was great about it and made a joke about how I would make a great pick pocket or an expensive call girl LOL. I left the store mortified and waited for my family outside.

Well I asked what it was but he refused to tell me until he saw me, then he'd show me. Well I hurried my steps to meet up with him so I could see what he had been dreamed. When I saw him he was sitting on a bench in NOS , so I ran over to the bench and as I was comming up to him rather quickly I was saying in mid stride "Omg how cool I can't wait to see what you got dreamed!" and as I whirled around and plopped myself down right next to him I heard AND felt a crunch. I imediately stood up and looked at his "dream". A pair of dream ears all crumpled and SEVERLEY bent. All I could do was try to un crumple them while saying I was so sorry over and over again ,but thankfully all he could do was laugh over it. I think I'll watch where I sit from now on.
