Weird and Odd Happenings at the Parks

[mjmcsl4me]

If I recall, it wasn't what the kid was doing, it was the wife that he was reacting poorly to.

Are you for real? Makes you wonder what was going on in their lives before this. So sad.

Yeah, the kid was crying before and the doctor was in an argument with his wife.

What a "donkey."

That's just sad about that poor child. How can people do that? It's just... UGHHH!!

Here's another... was coming off Space Mountain a couple months ago and there was a lady sitting by the exit looking a little pale, next thing we knew she was flat on the floor and the paramedics had to come. Heat stroke. She got quite the chastising for not having kept herself hydrated! It was weird to see them carting someone out on a stretcher. I'd never actually seen that before.

I do think they try to limit the amount of on-stage medical attention whenever possible. Of course sometimes it can't be avoided. I'm surprised they were that vocal about her not being responsible about keeping hydrated though.

Indeed, esp if she was taking medications that supress the thirst mechanisims.

There are so many reasons. We might have had opinions on the fire department, but that isn't why we were there. We were called to take care of the people and keep our opinions to ourselves. We could chat with the doctor at the hospital and give our observations, but we weren't going to berate the patient...

It wasn't a berating, more of a "It's a very hot day, always be very careful" sort of thing.

Ah, I see. I probably wouldn't have even said that much. People can go off on you for very weird things....especially when they aren't feeling their best.

I have two odd stories, both involving me!!! 1) When I was 15, I was at sleepaway camp in Longwood, Fl. We took a trip to the Magic Kingdom, and I had a fever of 101. It was very hot, and I was trying to tough it out with the staff. When I told them I was feeling queezy they told me to jsut go on one more ride with them before going to the infermory(spelling?). It was a tame ride, Jungle Cruise, so i said fine. Well, it wasn't fine. After about 5 minutes, I lost it. protien spill over teh side. I WAS MORTIFIED!!! The skipper was very quick on his feet, and laughed it off saying " Don't worry everyone, he thought this was a fishing trip and is chumming!) Everyone laughed, including myself, but you can tell they were worried. The skipper reported it in, and a wheelchair was waiting for me on the dock to escort me to first aid. That is where I spent the rest of the day, by myself, and lots of Gatorade.....story 2) I have mentioned this elsewhere on the boards, but while working in Frontierland I spoted a 3-4 foot gator just past the bridge where you can watch the people drop on Splash Mountain. I had to wait for Animal Control to come, and TRY to blund in. When guests noticed it, I just said, "Sorry folks, one of the animatronic gators from inside the ride got loose!" It just popped into my head and I got a ton of laughs....I have plenty of more crazy stories, but I will leave you with those for now. ENJOY!

Quick thinking on the part of the Jungle Cruise skipper! Glad you were able to laugh about it. That would be horrible to be at the Magic Kingdom and be sick
AA gator ~ quick thinking on your part!

Wow I don't mind seeing a gator but maybe not close up We did see one in the water while we were on the Generation Gap Bridge at Pop Century (don't know what it is called now since the other side is now Art of Animation Resort).

Thankfuly I have never seen any idiots screaming at the CM's. their jobs are tough enough having to paint smiles on their faces when idiots act up. The CM's have a heck of a lot more self control than I ever would. Anytime anything out of the ordinary happens to us, we chalk it up as a new memory and the CM's have "ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS" gone out of their ways to make things right. Thats one of the reasons why we choose Disney. God bless them.

This isnt really an odd happening at the park but it does involve a gator and Disney (kinda)

I used to live in Orlando, and when my hubby and I got married, his family came in from out of town, since there were a lot of them including kids, they rented a house close to Disney and were going to spend a couple of days at the parks.

The house had a big pond and viaduct in the back of it, and they held an informal party for the wedding guests and family before the wedding. A couple of the kids and some of us went to the pond.. and there was a GIANT gator just laying there like it was nothing.


So.. the pond was off limits.
