Grossest Thing You've Seen at the Parks

[Kickapoo Joie Juice]

[*]Inappropriate shirts? Yes, on a daily basis. Honestly, folks... you're going to a theme park for children and families. Think before you get dressed.

Yeah, last summer we saw two teenaged Japanese boys with two hand-printed shirts that were so completely, fundamentally disgusting and offensive that the closest I can get to giving you a clue about what was on it was that the "C" word was part of the phrase. .

I made sure and found a female CM, just to make sure she would be as mad as I was. And the boys were like, oh, we don't speak english, we have no idea what's printed on our shirts! Of course this was said IN ENGLISH. I was *furious*. They couldn't even turn their shirts inside out because they were white shirts and the "writing" was in sharpie marker and had bled through.

Maybe not grossest, but definitely most offensive.

Not the grossest but the funniest and a little strange.

We were in the computer pool at Pop Century and there was this nerdy kid about 9 blowing up a raft with a mostly naked man printed on it. I think he had a speedo on and guess where the valve was where the kid was blowing air into it.

Because of his age, I don't think this kid had a glue why everyone was looking a laughing.

After watching in a little disbelieve why he would even have this float, his father came over and took it away.

Maybe not considered "gross", but definitley raised my eyebrow. When we were at TL a few years back, my DH and I saw 2 women dressed in head toe, full middle eastern gown attire (sorry I do not know the appopriate name for it, but ya know w/the head and face covering, long wrapped, full dress) they walked right into the wave pool to swim. I saw them walkng toward the wave pool and my first thought was Holy cow they must be sweating to death, it was darn hot out. Then they kept walking towards the wave pool and i said to DH...there is no way they are walking in the water dressed like that...and sure enough in they went. It was the most bizarre thing I ever saw at WDW! Their DH's (or i presume they were their DH's) had gone in ahead of them and were both in speedos which I also do not like to see lol just not my idea of a proper swimsuit for a guy. Anyone ever seen that before? Oh and the couple who were lounging next to us on the beach area, were flipping out, the woman kept saying how unsanitary she thought it was and she was going to complain etc. There were many many people staring at the scene, it was wild.

I have cared for women of other cultures who are not allowed to be examined by a male Dr or it will defile them-quite a problem if they are very ill and there are no female Drs. on
When in Rome....

why the heck would you "bump" a 5-month old thread? You were just at WDW this month. You could at least add a funny story from your last trip.

Moldy-oldy thread bumps. One of my major pet peeves.

ETA: I'm unsubscribing, so I don't have to have to see this on my UserCP.

I don't blame the CMs for this -- I absolutely blame the guests! I am repeatedly disgusted by people for this very reason.

If you don't want to sit on the seat, that's fine. But LOOK before you leave -- did you pee on the seat? Then wipe it off! Do you think someone else wants to wipe up your pee more than you do?!

You don't want to touch the handle to flush? Okay, I understand. USE YOUR FOOT! I don't want to see your waste, and neither does anyone else.

A little common courtesy and consideration would make all the difference in the world.

Why doesn't Disney just invest in the toilets that flush automatically? That would not only take care of that problem, but probably prevent stopped-up toilets and of course the nasty smells that occur in the bathrooms from the "lingering" odor....

Most toilets in Disney are auto-flush. That's a problem when you have small children that just learned how to use the bathroom and it flushes on them while they are going. Our secret - get some of those mickey stickers they hand out and lightly tape one over the sensor. Do your business, remove the sticker and it'll flush.

some still may be but I think this gross thing is in general for everyplace that has a public restroom. I sometimes think people just weren't raised right when it comes to this.

Um... we do.

Had it been me, I would have then gotten security involved.

PS: nice quote in your .sig, but I think it was between Kirk and McCoy (right before they beamed off Regula I in ST2:TWoK). Yes, I am a geek.

I'm just sitting here reading some of these laughing at some, gaging at others . Man the family and I are going in June. Makes me wonder what I'll be able to say. LOL

I kid you not, I was there. I (unfortunately) saw it with my own eyes...
OMG, no way. that is disgusting, and at the same time, hilarious!

At Crystal Palace character dining, Winnie the Pooh came to our table to greet us with ketchup all over his wrists and forearm. It looked liked he'd been stabbed and bleeding. Not too gross, just disturbing. Thankfully, I have no puke stories.

Something else I saw that was disturbing, a car decal of Mickey Mouse giving the finger. Nice. Just love explaining that to my 4 year old.

D'oh! I'll go fix it...

Wait, are you guys SURE? Cause I swore I heard Bones say "spock"...

 

[noladave]

well, it always involves family, doesn't it?

we went to the Yachtsman Steakhouse (at the Beach Club), and all dressed in our nice (for vacation) outfits. My daughter hasn't been feeling well since lunch (Flame Tree BB'cue), and guess what, about 3/4 of the way through, we get to see her lunch coming out!! Yes, in a nice family dinning area, she's literally losing her lunch. Waiter handled it like a pro, and called the special clean up crew (waiters are not allowed to touch anything once this happens), and they show up with the special chemical disinfectants. Gave him a nice big tip that night!

We were eating at Pecos Bill at MK on our last family trip. I took DD in to use the restroom. There was a lady at the sink cleaning out her nether regions with paper towels. And I mean, literally sticking her hands down her shorts in full view of everyone. There were plenty of open stalls where she could go and at least have some privacy. And then, she used all of the paper towels up.

AMEN. On our trip to WDW last fall our DD4 had a crying, screaming fit at a rest stop on I95. She had to go but was scared to death of the auto flushing toilets. We spent almost an hour at that stop before she would go. I would have walked her into the woods if there had been any.

We where really worried about this fear since Disney has those toilets all over which is good must of the time. Thankfully she got over this fear real quick.

I'm going to read some of what is on this thread to my kids so that they understand why we tell them to do certain things.

When my dd was reallty little and afraid of the auto flushers, we told her that Tinkerbell was flushing the toilet. Got her over her fear just like that.

It isn't a "gross" story, but I recall this past April standing on the escalators to get on TTA, watching this unsupervised child (maybe around 12, possibly younger) bobbing and weaving under the que line ropes/ chains I think it was for Astro Orbiter...next thing I see is this kid getting a running start and gets leveled- across his neck as he tried to run full speed under the chain. It actually leveled his body parallel with the ground. He was ok, but when his parents put their eyes back on him, of course he was crying. Then the parents are like "what?!! What happened?!"

Gosh- makes me appreciate not having kids.
also makes me appreciate having attentative parents growing up...my dad probably would have whooped on me for that.

The grossest thing I have ever seen...hmmm.
I've seen it numerous times, anytime I see a person wearing Universal gear in the Land of the Mouse! Yuck...traitors
