1. "I have a code Pooh situation..."
"I worked at Club Disney for the brief time it was open. We had codes we used on the radio headsets that were coordinated with character names. For instance, code Baloo meant there was blood that needed to be cleaned up immediately.
One day, I'm taking a stroll around the club to check on things when I spot a small boy about two years old taking a massive dump right in the middle of the play area. He sees me, starts to cry, and runs away with no clothing on the lower half of his body. I get on the radio and can't think of what to say as we hadn't discussed a code for 'human feces in the play area and naked kid running around.' So I just called, 'I have a code Pooh situation in the play area and Piglet's on the loose.' "

2. "I saw this one teenager run across the store and dove head first in the mountain of stuffed animals..."
"I used to be a cast member at the Disney store in my local mall. We were required to greet everyone within 10 seconds of them entering the store.There used to be a game online that kids would play about getting to the back of the store, grabbing a stuffed animal from the" plush mountain" and get back up front before getting greeted. I saw this one teenager run across the store and dove head first in the mountain of stuffed animals... only to quickly find out that they were on risers. He was taken away on a stretcher but ended up being fine. And yes, I greeted him while he was in mid air so he lost the game."
3. "This couple were trying to ride Space Mountain, and had a black duffelbag..."
"This couple were trying to ride Space Mountain, and had a black duffelbag. He heard something come from the bag, so he asked them to open it. They refused. Security comes, forces them to open it. It was their 6 month old baby."
4. "The mom screamed 'NOT AGAIN!' "
"Once I was running the main station on a ride (on the load side of the ride). A couple and their two kids (one 7-8 another 10-11 years old) were about to get on the ride, when suddenly the kid (younger of the two) pooped his swimming trunks and it went EVERYWHERE. The mom screamed " NOT AGAIN! " and they left. We had to cycle out the ride and dump the queue (make people leave the line) on a very busy ride with a 2 hour wait."
5. "Those guys have eyes like hawks..."
Those guys have eyes like hawks. I had a couple mini air horns in my bag and they told me I couldn't bring them in. I said I was going to take them back to my car. I walked a quarter mile away and tucked them in my socks. As I walked back in, a guy flipped open his Disney badge (no joke) and told me I needed to give him the air horns. I wasn't even mad. That was amazing.
6. "No one was down there waiting for him..."
"I worked in Tomorrowland attractions at WDW and there were many stories, but one of the craziest was when I noticed a down syndrome child waiting in the back hallway - not a normal place for guests. I figured he was waiting on his party to finish riding. I was bumped out of my position for a break 5-10 minutes later and he was still there. I got him to walk down to the unload area with me figuring his family was probably freaking out about where he was. No one was down there waiting for him. I waited for 15 minutes and realized his family was not on the ride. After calling managers and coordinators conducting a search throughout Tomorrowland we found his family riding Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin. They just left him at Space! I have never been so upset at work. There are so many others but this one always comes to mind."
7. "One of the lowest points in my Disney career was having to height check a midget..."
"Used to work attractions at Anaheim Dland. On the Indiana Jones Adventure there are 3 48" height checkpoints which small guests must hit, and there's often drama here. One of the lowest points in my Disney career was having to height check a midget. I couldn't make eye contact. All he said was, "Really?" and I hung my head in shame and nodded. Another time an African American family had made it all the way down to the last checkpoint, which was in the station. The poor kid was too short but the mom lost her mind when I said her child couldn't ride. She started screaming at the top of her lungs that "this racist motherfucker wont let my precious baby girl on the ride" "You are racist, you are racist" etc etc. Cleared out the station, temporarily shut down the ride. She was escorted out and banned from the park.
Tl;dr: Height checked a midget, didn't let a little girl ride because she was black"

8. "Not an employee but there was this man that had scissors on him..."
"Not an employee but there was this man that had scissors on him. Not sure how he got passed security with that. He approached a little girl from behind with the scissors drawn and cut the string of her balloon."
9. "About half way through the dinner the husband politely stands up and taps his glass for attention..."
"Probably a little late, but I was working in the kitchen at Cinderella's castle when this family of 4 came in for their dinner. About half way through the dinner the husband politely stands up and taps his glass for attention. He announced that his wife of 15 years has been cheating in him for over a year. The entire place stood still in shock. He motioned for his kids paid the waitress and left the wife crying at the table."
10. "I don't remember what attraction it was for, but he said a little boy from Make-a-Wish got to go..."
"I don't remember what attraction it was for, but he said a little boy from Make-a-Wish got to go to the front of every line. This one lady saw it, and bitched so loud about how this little trash kid didn't deserve to cut in lines and a bunch of other bullshit. He described the look on the boy's parent's faces as nothing but nightmarish heartbreaking shit."
11. "When they came out, the guys started cat-calling Minnie..."
"I was sitting with a group of guys by where Mickey and Minnie get dressed. When they came out, the guys started cat-calling Minnie. The guy that was Mickey said, in a perfect Mickey voice, 'If you look at my girlfriend again I'm gonna pop ya!' "
12. "Saw a 8-10 foot long snake emerge from an area with lots of plants and bushes."
"I worked a ride in Animal Kingdom a long time ago. Saw a 8-10 foot long snake emerge from an area with lots of plants and bushes. It slowly works it's way through a line of about 200 people. Weaving it's way through people's legs, strollers, bags, etc...then it just casually slips back into another wooded area.
No one noticed!"
No one noticed!"
13. "They were laughing and even occasionally pointing at people..."
"Not a cast member, but I witnessed a cast member do this: I was in line at Disney Land California with a group of Japanese teenage tourists were ahead of me in line. I speak Japanese, so I could understand that they were making fun of Americans. They were mostly saying things to the effect of 'on TV they seem so cool, but all of these Americans are so fat and ugly.' They were laughing and even occasionally pointing at people. I was just staying quiet but then one of the cast members who evidently also spoke Japanese walked up to them and told them in perfect Japanese "You guys should really be careful, most Americans can speak Japanese." They all froze up and looked around at people, many of whom were giving them dirty looks. I nodded at them like I was backing him up, and they were horrified. They all left the line promptly afterward."
14."...They just get vacuumed up and disposed of."
"overnight cast member here. Please PLEASE leave your cremated loved ones at home. stop dumping them in Haunted Mansion. They just get vacuumed up and disposed of."
15. "This little girl In front of me was complaining she had to go to the bathroom..."
"Never worked there, but one day when I was in line for a ride... I think it was space mountain, this little girl In front of me was complaining she had to go to the bathroom. They were front of the line so her parents didn't want to leave the line. They argue an eventually the girl squats down and shits on the ground. She then pick up her turd and holds it up to her moms face. If that isn't enough her mom then proceeded to puke all over the ground. The little girl looked like we was about 8..."
16. "MOOOOM! HE HAS FIVE LEGS!!!"
"Late to the party, but I was a safari driver at the Kilimanjaro safari attraction in Animal Kingdom. We had this elephant named Willy. Willy was an exhibitionist. I was driving a safari one day, spewing out facts about Elephants when I hear a tiny voice from the back of the [sic] truck yell: MOOOOM! HE HAS FIVE LEGS!!! I turn, and sure enough, there's Willy, standing with his five foot long penis [sic] just swaying in the Florida breeze. I had to turn my mic off, I was laughing so hard."
