Exactly. I was getting so mad at all those people standing around watching and laughing and letting the humiliation drag on. When he first started walking off, they should have just let him instead of calling him back. And all the bride's friends should have rushed out to her and started a fun dance party.

I got stuck in Spaceship Earth in the coolest places: the Egyptian station, the fire of Alexandria, in the Mammoth scene, in the part where you see the earth, before they show you the future. LOVED IT. That ride breaks down a lot. I’D LOVE to be stuck in Haunted Mansion when they sing in the graveyard.

My little brother somehow fell onto a bed frame at Disney World in our hotel room and split his head open and got rushed off to the Most Magical Urgent Care on Earth.

Yes, and then we had to go through the whole ride with the lights on, and that was maybe the worst part. That whole roller coaster is in a tiny little room with the track all twisted around on itself to fit it in. When they tell you not to put your hands up on Space Mountain, they are not shitting you. I’m sure people…

If we had let the Gitmo detainees ride It’s A Small World for about 45 minutes, we never would have bothered to waterboard them. That ride is true torture.

A friend of mine and her dad got stuck in the It’s a Small World ride for almost 2 hours when she was a kid. The best part was it was in Disney Japan so the music wasn’t even in English. Once they finally got out he declared he never wanted to hear that song again, and my friend being an obnoxious 8 year old goes “…

I’ve spent 30 minutes in the Haunted Mansion (halfway through the sinking floor), 45 in Pirates of the Caribbean, and 2 hours in Space Mountain. That was all in one day.

Getting stuck on a ride was one of my biggest fears as a child. I probably would have actually died of panic.

Yikes! Not a vacation story but tangentially similar. I'm from LA and we had our high school senior grad night at Disneyland (they close the park at 8 or so and all the schools that paid had it to themselves all night till 6 am or so. Wasn't just my school). Some smart teen decides to smoke a joint on the haunted…

We got stuck in the middle of “It’s a Small World” for 30 minutes while the song droned on and on and my dad looked increasingly panicked.

I have my own pee story. I peed on the side of the highway fully sober because we were in the middle of nowhere. In Florida. I had a cold. My period. My dad making jokes if snakes /gators going to get ys. Le sigh. I will never tell a living person away from keyboard.

Got stuck on Pirates of the Caribbean for an hour once. I was stuck next to the pirate that kept going “Here kitty kitty kitty” really creepily. At about the half hour mark they turned off all the sound, but not the animatronics, so instead of the song and the creepy pirate I got to hear the even creepier clicking of…

1997, my mom a private pilot, my brother and I flew to a family reunion, from Seattle to Helena MT. We get there to find the entire family reunion had be relocated to a remote cabin. With no way to get there we hung out at my uncles house, and by out I mean outside in the yard until the family reunion returned the…

I just told a Disney World story about headlice, but stomach flu is worse. Yuck.

This isn’t gonna win, but damn it, I’m gonna share. I got my license at 16 and the next winter break, we decided to drive my grandmother down to see her cousin in Pensacola. Grandpa and my father stayed home. So it was a just us girls trip with my mom, her mom and my sister and me. We typically stay overnight in…

ooh! Ooh! My mom’s family is from S. Florida, so “family vacation” always meant “visit Gramma and Grampa in Ft. Lauderdale. Cool. It has a beach! My grandparents live like, on the damn beach so my brother and I would jump out of the car, throw on a swim suit and run head long into the water on a semi public-ish beach…

My dad died during a freak scuba diving accident off the coast of Scotland while we were on vacation.

I got nothing. But one of my most treasured possessions is a postcard from when my two insane adult sisters got to go on vacation with my parents and I sat at home sulking. They filled up a postcard with chirpy passive aggressive “wish you were here having all the fun!” bs and gave it to my awesone dad to mail. It…

Yeah, as a heavily tattooed woman I agree. I’ve had most artists make recommendations about placement and style to me. In fact, I’ve had sort of the anti-Dan experience (with a guy who also refuses to do hand and neck tattoos on people who aren’t already covered in tats, btw—it’s seriously a common policy) where my…

The logic he employed is common in the tattoo world. I have had tattoo artists strongly persuade me to get one tattoo over another, placed here instead of there. I listened. Had I not, I would have kept shopping. You threw a fit and as far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with you being a woman. You’re attempt to…
