The dumbest thing you have ever seen a guest do!

When I was on Splash Mountain someone 2 rows in front of me stood up while going down the first drop. (Slippin Falls I think)

At Disneyland I saw a guy with a girl (about 7) on his shoulders. He must have forgot she was there, because he walked full speed under a dangling metal sign. SMACK! . Gasps everywhere. Luckily, there was a manager walking by at the time. This was in the breezeway between Main Street and Frontierlands Mexican Resturaunt.


2nd... Circa 1997, i rode splash mountain and bought the photo. When showing it to my friends mom, she looked at the photo, then she said " Is that a Baby?".... And what do you know, in the back was a heavy set couple. The woman in front bent over during the drop, you can see a little head ( covered in a gray hoodie) and a little hand. We didn't remember a small child being in the group behind us at the time. When I look at it today, it clearly does not look like a child that is 40" tall. Once my scanner works, I will put it up and you be the judge.
But sneaking a toddler or infant on a Ride? Seriously?

The one I had just left me speechless...

I was helping out Br'er Rabbit when a family with a teenage son and daughter came up. Behind them was a father with his 5 year old daughter. I knew they were "those" guests when the first question they asked was "are you smiling in there?" (Br'er Rabbit's first thought was, "Well, I was until you came up to me). They then proceeded to ask about air conditioning, etc. God bless my attendant, she did the whole "Don't you see the smile on Br'er Rabbit's face?" When the mother started to talk about the person "inside the costume" she insisted it was Br'er Rabbit. Did that clue them in? Of course not!

While setting up for the picture, the teenaged daughter reached over, grabbed Br'er Rabbit's shirt, and lifted it up! Br'er Rabbit went to his attendant and tried to "tell" her what happened so she could talk to the girl, and the mom kept yelling things out like, "Oh! You want to look up her shirt?" Finally, he had to whisper to his attendant what happened. The mom said, "oo, I want to know." The attendant told the girl she could not lift up the characters' shirts. Then the mom said, "Oh, that's what she did," and proceeded to lift up her 15 year old daughter's shirt exposing the girl's bra to the entire line! I felt horrible for the father with his little five year old daughter behind them, witnessing this whole scene play out.

~Any kid on a leash...

Obviously not a parents are you? A "teather" is the greatest thing for kids, they can walk around but keeps them from running off. I wish more parents used them. Most "parents" just let their kids run all over and then wonder why they get hurt or kidnapped.

I like seeing little kids on tethers. I know that they'll be safely with their parents the entire time and that I won't be calling management to report a lost parent situation for that particular family.

Kids can get a long ways alone and quickly. The other day I was out at the cart nearest the castle (we call it Tipboard) (Main_Street_Merch, you know the one since you used to work in my area) when a woman came up and asked what to do, her child was lost. I immediately grabbed my radio and called it into management as I'm supposed to do (can't leave my area to look for a kid). The kid's dad and granddad went separate ways on MS to look for the kid and a few minutes later the dad returns with the kid. Apparently she made it all the way down to either Town Square or out to the front entrance area (in front of the train station), I'm not sure which. Either way that's a LONG ways for a kid to go by themselves. She got separated in the short distance between the Ice Cream Parlor and the railing just down from the cart.

I can't blame parents for putting their little kids on tethers as the kid doesn't know better to not run off.

This one would make you drop your jaw and run for the restroom! I was people watching in the Fantasyland old motor boat dock area. There was this couple from a different country. The had an empty old sprite bottle. They dipped it into the surrounding waters and filled up the bottle.

They took a gulp and tighten the cap. I would suggest not to do that because there are ducks, small fish, certain chemicals and other water creatures in that water. I would be ill after that. So please, "Don't Drink That Toxic Crap!" :twisted:

Hush now as that is how Universal and Knotts gets their monsters for Halloween, plus how DLR gets rid of the SGS.

Tethers are not as good as the harness as kids can yank on their arm and get hurt. I am all for harnesses to keep kids from running out into the street.

That ties right in with all the kids and adults sticking their hands and lollipops into the water at IASW and then putting it in their mouths. Can we all say, Tetanus?

I am all for "Seeing-Eye Children." Mine is one of them. If it's crowded I could lose him in all of 2 seconds with as fast as that boy runs. Now if it's light day he can walk by himself but you can bet I am right there with him.

Not to mention ... Strep, Meningitis..... yuck....
I think this wins the ticket. Plus that water is clorinated too. Right?

A little off topic here, but since it has been mentioned a few times...
About kids on tethers...

I personally dislike them. My best friend swears her young son (who is autistic) cannot do without it, he freaks out and runs off at the first thing that catches his attention. I have never had a kid in one and when we all went to Marineland one day last year. Her and her 4 children and us and our 2. She asked me if I could walk the child on the tether since he asked to walk with me.

I told her the only way I would keep him in our group was if he didn't have to wear the tether, she agreed. I pulled him aside, told him the importance of keeping together, and let him know that if there was something he wanted to see to let us know and we would take him there.

This child stayed with us the entire time, and beside a small freakout at wanting to be seated in car #4 for a ride (he is obssesed with the number 4). The ride wasn't busy AT ALL and for some reason, the ride attendant didn't let him ride in car 4. :( It took a little while to settle him down after that, but besides that the day went without a hitch.

Back on topic... I hate it when people let their kids climb all over things at parks (usually on the other side of ropes and fences) that may cause a fall and get themselves hurt... the parents are usually so into their grown up conversation they don't realize what the kids are doing.
