Fairgrounds, theme parks, circuses and carnivals
Tell us about the time the fairground came to town and you were sick in a hedge; or when you went to a theme park or circus and were sick in a hedge

« Go Back
Disneyworld.
I have been to Disneyworld twice, and have no desire at all to ever go back there. I won't list my reasons for my dislike as others have already voiced most of them; suffice to say it's not a place that appeals to me on any level.
My favorite moment there, though, is one I'll treasure forever.
They have a small imitation Mississippi steamboat that goes chugging along a small waterway. My sister and niece and I got on board, mostly because we adults were tired and wanted to sit for a bit. We were parked in a nice shady spot, waiting for the ride to load, when a hyperactive girl of about nine popped on board with her tired looking mother. The girl ran all round the boat, jumping on the seats and racing back and forth and being thoroughly obnoxious while the adults on the boat glared at the mother. Finally the kid stopped in the center of the boat and shouted at the top of her lungs in an aristocratic tone, "MOM! IS THIS BOAT MOVING?"
"No, dear," came the weary reply.
"THEN WHY ARE WE ON IT?"
I burst out laughing, followed by the rest of the onlookers, and the mortified mother dragged her precious daughter off to parts unknown.
Somehow that completely summarized the entire experience for me.

Too many burgers
Some friends of mine took their kids to Disneyworld and while they were there they stopped somewhere to put their feet up , have a coke and a bite to eat. Sitting opposite them was an American family including " One of the fattest men I have ever seen in my life " to use one of my friend's words. After a while this other family got up to go , well all but one that is, the big guy could not get up at all as his arse was firmly wedged into the chair . One of the other members of his family went to get help and apparently they had to cut the chair into pieces with a hacksaw before Mr. Heffalump could escape. My friend said it was the funniest thing they had seen in a long time.

And....
"Its a small world" - drove me near insane after just a few hours. Cant understand why my sister feels she has to go back again and again.
