Having to come home again!
Pumping diesel in our car a day before we were to leave Orlando. It wouldn't have felt as bad if it were a rental! [8D]
Anderson, Amirah & Andrea Amarante
Having a child with earache sitting on my lap for the whole flight home and having to appologise to all the passengers sitting around us who presumably all had headaches !!!![msnsad]

The first time we visited Orlando we got quite lost around the International drive area. We somehow ended up in a huge factory car park and had to ask the security guard to let us out. Even more embarrasingly, we did exactly the same thing again an hour later![msnembarrased]

Was it McDonnell Douglas (I think off of Sandlake)?
If so we did that too [:I]
The look as I wound down my window to ask the guard to let me through back to the public roads was 'here's another dumb Brit'

Touch wood we have never had a really "bad" experiance in the 10 years or so we have been travelling to Orlando- although there is always a first time [
)]
That said we have had a few "moments" that have caused the blood pressure to rise - but only a little.
Like the time that we arrived with Virgin Atlantic only to find a BA flight had landed 10 mins before hand and it took over an hour to get through Customs at Orlando
We always stay in the same Hotel on I'Drive and they have gotten to know us very well, I have to say that they do look afer us during our stays.
However last year, in May, there was a DECCA Event at the Conferance Centre, which involved 1000's of Americian Teenagers decending on Orlando, most of whom seemed to be staying in our Hotel and without any supervision
There are a few things that make us frustrated - why when "Families" get off the plane, why do they always choose the narrowest part of the gangway / corridor to stop and get the younger ones into the pushchairs etc, thus stopping the other 300 plus passengers from getting through - as you can tell I don't have any children [
Now Disney is not just for kids, so why do parents - mainly American ones it has to be said - think that "their" child has a god given right to push / be pushed, without a by your leave, to the front of the crowd 2 mins before Parade Time and stand in front of the "me" blocking "my" view - when I have sat on the kerb for 2 hours so that I can get a good view - or is it just me [
Also why do Americans never walk anywhere - the shortest bus ride has to be 50 yards whilst on I'Drive !!!
The only other thing that makes us sad is the return flight home - but then I don't think I am alone on that one.

Has to be Arabian Nights Dinner Show, show was OK but the meal was terrible, also just remembered on our 1st trip we ate at a "Shoneys" about 8:30pm, after having a couple of starters we went for the main courses to find the buffet was almost empty of meat (chicken, meatballs, burgers etc.) and they wouldn't cook any more as they were closing at 10pm!.

Hi Kym
Dont worry I think we have all been there abd done that mine was a 9 month old baby who was a little angel going to Florida but coming home screamed nearly all the way home
I think she was picking up on our vibes though coming home is the pits every time
[msncry]
I think I upset the staff on the flight as well after about 8 hours of screaming and apologies all round the flight attendants decided to come and ask if we needed anything in quite a loud voice just as I had got her to sleep I didnt swear but ohhh how close I came[msnmad]
