I don't know if I've ever told this story here or not. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

It was 1980 and we were staying at Fort Wilderness. The kids were 7, 9 and 10. We wanted different things for dinner, so we split up. I don't remember where DH and DD#1 went, but DD#2, DS and I went to the Trail's End. I haven't been there since 1982 so I don't know if the set-up is the same, but back then there was a cafeteria line and also a seperate counter where you could put your order in. We went to this short order window. You then go to your table and wait for your number to be called.

If I remember right, the seating is on two levels, with a few tables and video games on the lower level and more tables on the upper level where the cafeteria and food window are located. The atmosphere was very western with wood floors and tables with red checkered tablecloths. At that time the tables were nicely set with silverware, napkins, salt and pepper.

I put our order in, found a table where DD#2 and I waited while DS went down and played video games. Now the place was crowded and with all the wood, very noisy. My number was called so I got up quickly to go pick up our order. Well, when I sat down I crossed my leges. When I got up, the tablecloth was between my legs. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] I got up so fast that I dragged the whole tablecloth off the table and the silverware and salt and pepper shakers bounced around and clattered on the floor. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] DD#2 was so embarrassed that she just slide right off her chair and disappeared under the table as the whole place gave me a round of applause! [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img]
I then had to walk through and past these people to go up and get our food. I think I made everyone's day because most people laughed the rest of the way through their meal.

..and then there was the time last September at the 1st PassPorter Meet.

A bunch of us had spent the night at The Adventurer's Club and had a riot of a time. I didn't have anything to drink there because I had 2 pineapple drinks at the Poly earlier and that's about my limit.

I was traveling alone, so when Nate and Spence called it a night, I decided to leave with them because we were both at the All Stars. The bus was very crowded so we had to stand. I wasn't tipsy, but the bus driver was taking some pretty mean corners! On one of these corners I couldn't keep my balance and I fell into a gentleman's lap! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] If that wasn't bad enough, I couldn't get any leverage to get up. The guy not only didn't try to help me up, but he didn't say a word to me. I finally made it up with a hand from Nate.

Now, does anyone picture Lucille Ball when they think of me! [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I can laugh at this now, but I wasn't the least bit amused at the time!The one thing that I considered inviolate was the plan for our last Saturday night in the MK, so you just know that everything would go wrong....We got on the ferry from the WL on a beautiful summer evening,and it ended up idling in the middle of the Bay because the boat in front of it had a problem & they weren't allowed to pass-OK,it turns out that one of the CMs on the boat an I had gone to Junior High together(!) so he nicely called over to the LTT to have them hold our PS. He told me that,as a result of the back up, the park would be overcrowded.For some reason known only to the god of bad luck,the ferry suddenly shifted violently just as I was driving my scooter off of it, so the front end was in midair!By the time the Titanic crew had remedied the situation and we made it to LTT, we were informed that it would be a 90 minute wait, and we would then miss the Spectromagic Parade(on my list!).Quick thinking- we headed over to the parade route,where the CMs insisted that we go to the THIRD handicapped seating area,along side of the big oak tree, sending the kids into Tommorowland with $$ to purchase dinner so that we can eat during the parade.I drive into the roped off area and tell the CM,"please don't put anyone right up against me because I have great difficulty managing with my knee brace in case of an emergency"; he says "no problem", and 2 minutes later crams another scooter right into me and tells me that "it needs to be done that way, regardless of what I wanted or needed". He left, and the woman next to me hops off of her scooter and begins to RUN around the area, waving to friends.The kids come back empty handed saying they are unable to get waited on because they are so short that they were getting shoved around in the crowd(quite a feat,considering our daughter's persistance!), so my partner disapears into the throng with them,bent on returning with food.10 minutes pass, the sky turns black with rain clouds and a huge clap of thunder shakes the ground, sending the "handicapped" woman next to me scampering over the stone bench,over the railing and halfway up the oak tree(great place to be in a storm!).It is absolutely pouring,wind blowing,uugghh; and the tree woman begins yelling for someone "to come and get her out of there". 4 CM's come and usher her and her party out of the area, leaving her scooter, and ignoring my,by now rather frantic, pleas for help.My scooter was flooded out, the streets were running 2" deep with H2O. and the CM's had locked the roped off area,leaving me there in the monsoon!!The huddled masses,including some CMs under the popcorn tents snickered,but no one came to,or even called for help. After 25 minutes-my new Disney 2001 watch was still working-2 young men, CMs from Tomorrowland came by and saw me.sitting there like a drowned rat(or should I say "Mouse"?), and tried to help. WE couldn't get the scooter to run and they couldn't unlock the "corral",so they decided to cut the rope & push me over to TL!!They then went with our daughter to get ponchos,called over to the WL and asked them to send a van over to the MK to get us. These 2 great guys pushed me all the way to the front of the park,waited with us, and then loaded me into the van.All I had wanted was a nice dinner at the LTT, and to see Spectromagic and the fireworks over the castle-it seemed simple enough!Back at the WL,the Ops.Mgr saw us come in,sopping wet,and gave us a free family meal at Artist's Point.It was warm and wonderful,and young Master Christopher fell asleep, face down, in his salmon!!Truly a night to remember!!!

I'm sure I've got a ton of funny moments at Disney but the one ( most recent) that stands out in my mind is my 9YO upsetting an entire table of food in Boatwrights.. all over the waitress.. There was ketchup flying everywhere..

What great stories! I can't stop giggling...err laughing out loud! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

We've had a few too, but this one stands out as the time I laughed the hardest. DH and I were having a late dinner at Crystal Palace and there weren't too many people there so we were getting alot of attention from Pooh & Co. Pooh had set up shop at our table and I was standing up giving him a big hug when Eeyore came up from behind me and slammed me into a Pooh/Eeyore sandwich [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] I was sort of bent forward and if you see the pictures, it looks really weird (there must be some fetish website out there that caters to such things - LOL!) I was wearing one of those satin princess hats and it got bent and slip down nearly over my face [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img] I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe and DH just stood there snapping pictures and giggling. Definitely a highlight of that trip! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Peace, love & ºoº

We were at WDW in DEC 2000, and one day, we headed for Blizzard Beach. We were wading through the large wave pool, and some of the water had splashed up on our friend Kenny's glasses. We were standing there, when we realized Kenny was wiping his glasses off on a towel that was wrapped around a woman's waist. He thought it was his WIFE. but, imagine his surprise when he looked up at a very miffed woman, who was NOT his wife! The rest of us were in fits of laughter over his mistake, and boy, was his face red!
On that same trip, we were enjoying the bird show at AK. There is a part of the show where a bird flies out into the audience and lands on the hand of someone who is holding out a dollar bill. Kenny (AGAIN!) suddenly stuck his hand out, confusing the bird, and the bird landed on Kenny! THe CM gritted her teeth, and smiled one of those "I-could-just-scream" smiles, and the stunt had to be done again! We, however laughed and laughed!
