Have you ever had a shock?

[TigrLvsPooh]

Have you ever witnessed something in the park that totally shocked you???

This morning, while waiting in line for Playhouse Disney, a woman took a small child behind the concrete wall near the stage entrance and had him urinate. DH and I were both totally shocked! About two minutes later "Jamie" the star of the show walked right through the puddle on her way into the theatre. I will never forget that moment for the rest of my life. I seriously think my jaw hung open for five minutes because I just couldn't believe it.

Later this afternoon I saw a little girl, probably about 18 months old, playing in a puddle right in front of the NYC scene. She then rolled over onto her belly and drank some of the water right off the ground. The man with her just stood there and watched her... I was totally horrified.

What is wrong with people??????????

Oh yeah.....we were walking out of the Tarzan Rocks show and there was a girl in front of us in like a tank top and only her underwear. I was completely shocked - so much that I thought maybe it was a bathing suit bottom - but nope - you could see the tattoo on her butt right through the thin panty material - and then I noticed her shorts slung across her shoulder. I do believe she was not from the United States - so maybe it wasn't a big deal in her culture but I'm just glad it was just my husband and I and no kiddos. Of course we had a big laugh over it afterwards since we had both been staring at this girls butt trying to figure out if she was really walking around in just her panties

Oh, my, I think this is going to be a very, very long thread! I have been thoroughly shocked to see babies who are practically scorched beet-red from exposure to the sun. The parents are walking around holding the babies in the brilliant sunshine, which is unrelenting. The poor things have no hat, no covering for their delicate skin. Very sad. I've actually seen badly sunburned little feet, and the parents are totally oblivious.

OMG I'm sitting here with my jaw dropped! Gosh wonder how these diseases spread, etc. People can be so ignorant it gets kind of bizarre.

. . . but, I must agree with the babies issue. I think I have seen babies as young as a few days old being taken into the parks. C'mon is this really necessary - stay at home and enjoy the first week of your child's life - protect and nurture. That saddens and shocks me.

Now, just where exactly did you see the girl in panties . . .

While waiting in line for POC at MK a woman being pushed in a wheelchair ran into me as a CM was trying to escort them from the attraction. As they went past the woman in the wheelchair tried to slap my 18 mo. old DD in the face as I was holding her. Needless to say that was a big shock !!! The CM asked if we were alright but the people who caused all the trouble got out of there fast with no apology what so ever !!! If someone is potentially violent (emotionaly disturbed ect..) then they should not be in a place with such close contact to others !!!

We were at Typhoon Lagoon last October and were in line to ride one of the faster water slides. There was a family with a teenage daughter (age about 13 or 14)who's dad kept trying to pull down her top and bikini bottom to expose her hiney. Once he pulled out her bikin bottom front to take a peek. Mom seemed indifferent, pretended not to see. They were not from the US and thought maybe they had a different cultural values and so I should just mind my own business, but man, even so....

The girl didn't seem to be appreciating all the "Lolita" attention she was getting. It was disturbing and I considered asking her if she was "ok" or getting a cast member. "Perv" dad saw DW and I glaring at him and he kept his hands to himself. Maybe it was "innocent fun" and he was just teasing his daughter, but I'm thinkin not... more like wanting to throw him from the top of the TOT and see if he can fly like peter pan....

We were eating in the castle a while back-96 maybe-and this guy and his wife/girlfriend started fighting. She picks up her glass and throws it at him! Well he ducked and it hit another person at the table next to them!!! All of a sudden 2 guys in suits come from no where and rush to the other table to make sure they were ok and take them all out of there. We were shocked!

 

[Darian]

Wowsers!! What restaurant did this happen in? i wonder what they were fighting about? Its so tacky when married people do this kinda thing to each other. I bet they use old refillable mugs and pool hop too... grrrrrrr

It was in the castle when the restaurant was called King Stephan's. I am not sure what the fight was about it all happened so suddenly!

We were in line for Buzz Lightyear and were almost at the front door when this lady comes running with her husband an kids and cuts in front of my daughters. We had already been in line for about 10 minutes so there was quite a bit of a line behind us. The kids were horrified as was the husband. One kid was saying "But mom there is a line" but she cut him off and told him to be quiet and keep walking. I was not going to get into it and let it ruin my day. But I carried on a loud conversation with my husband about rude people who set horrible examples for their kids and how I hate to see what those kids may turn out like etc. Well she totally ignored us while the rest of her family turned beet red. Nevertheless, they stayed in line but our moment of glory came at the end when she was complaining that her laser had not been working! HA! That's what you get for cutting in line lady!! By the way I did mention it to the CM but since he didn't see anything he was afraid to say anything to her.

Yes, some parents will try to get their children to go to the bathroom almost anywhere... I've had to tell several people that the nearest restroom is less than 100 yards away and, no, their child can not "just pee in the river/bushes/on the side of the building"

Also, lots of children chewing on queue ropes, railings, etc... gross!

What takes the cake, though is the woman who changed her baby's diaper on my Jungle Cruise boat...BEFORE we had left the dock! Unbelievable (that was one of the old boats)... the captain's room just below the wheelhouse of the Liberty Belle Riverboat, I'm told, is quite a popular "diaper station."

If you can't read your map, you should at least be able to ask directions...

I've had a baby almost puke on me in line for IASW. The dad who was holding the id got completely drenched and "dripped" on a few people who didn't realize what was going in when he went back up the ramp to leave the attraction. While there is no way to assign blame for something like that, it was nevertheless an unpleasant experience.

I've also seen a guy beat up his wife on Hollywood Boulevard, and I've seen lots of kids get smacked and/or spanked.

These things are terrible, but what I hate also is when a CM just ruins someone's day. Admittedly, that's rare, but it does happen. You'd think they had a way to "pull" CMs who are in a bad mood to a backstage location for the day.

 

[grinningghost]

Yes. We witnessed a shouting match between two CM's in the parking lot. They were both tram drivers. Expletives and all. In front of a tram packed with guests. That was the most shocking thing I ever saw there - it was a total turnoff.

I remember a couple of years ago when we were at Universal I noticed a couple with a small baby in a stroller stepping down off a curb. I don't know what made me notice this because I was all the way across the street but when they were manuvering the stroller down off the curb, the baby fell all the way out of the stroller falling on its back! I promise I heard its head hit the sidewalk from all the way across the street! I still cringe when I think about the horrible sound its head made hitting the sidewalk. the poor baby was probably 6 months old. then it started crying. it looked like it was crying but no sound came out kind of like it was trying to catch its breath for several seconds then it let out a pitifull scream. this was really shocking to witness and something I always remember when I pass by that spot in front of Mels drive in.

Another bathroom story . . .

We were sitting on one of the benches outside of Epcot waiting for a bus. A lady with her young daughter come running by and all of a sudden the mother stops and says "we'll never make it, we'll miss the bus". Then she pulls the little one over RIGHT NEXT TO ME, pulls down her pants and tells her to go. YICH!!! Couldn't she at least have gone next to an empty bench???!!!

 

[Kallison]

We were walking out with throngs of people during Beauty/Beast show and a little lost boy was screaming and crying - Where is my Mom? I started shoving through trying to catch up with him and I'm yelling - STOP that boy. Grown-ups actually turned their heads the other way and ignored him, I couldn't believe it, how many people just ignored this hysterical kid. I caught up with him outside the theater, said let's just stop here and wait until everyone leaves, then we will go back inside and find a CM to find your parents. The topper is his Mom goes running by frantic and I yell, hey is he yours, she gives me the dirtiest look, grabs him and walks away. I thought my Mom was gonna let her have it, she had to walk over and say you should thank my daughter everyone else was ignoring your hysterically crying child. She very grudgingly looks over and says thanks and the husband glares at me some more. I guess that is why people ignore kids in the first place! It's not like I was running away with her kid, I was just kneeling there talking to him - lol. I wanted to say Look I got three of my own, don't need yours!! But it won't stop me from helping lost kids again. It just blew my mind that nobody wanted to help this poor crying kid.

 

[Belle5]

I just wanted to say that your story goes beyond shocking and into the truly horrifying!! I am so sorry that happened!

 

[madcoco]

I'm not really shocked at anything anymore people are strange.

Have to agree there.


One incident from last year.
1. Fortune Telling last year at MNSSHP. Intern watching the line. Line now closed off due to the number of guests already waiting.
We are next to last. There is a rope up to keep any more people from coming. App 5-10 minutes later, a woman comes up and starts to climb over the rope. CM Intern doesn't see her. The woman behind us tells the woman jumping the rope (as polite as one could be) "They closed off the line" She proceeds to berate this lady. Tells her to shove it and mind her own business. The Intern now comes over and politely tells her the line is closed. The woman lets her have it profanity and all. She came a %$#&* 1000 miles I will get my fortune told. Blah,blah,blah

The Intern remained calm throughout. The woman storms off a few minutes later comes back with a CM manager. and tells a lie how she was treated horribly. Someone will be getting a letter. Didn't the woman realize all of us in line and everyone else around for that matter, witnessed her conduct. Instead of us resorting to her outrageous conduct, some of us killed her with kindness. That went over real well as you can guess.

Once again she stormed off. Wonder if she ever sent a letter?
