I've heard of a case where a child got lost on the ship. The parents were frantic as they searched everywhere. The ship is quite large and there are many areas where a small child can disappear. It took a while for the crew to find the child, and during that time, the parents were in a state of extreme panic. This incident really scared the family and made them question the safety measures on the Disney Cruise.
I heard about a guest who lost their wallet with all their important cards and money in it. They were at Disney World, and they had no idea where they dropped it. They spent hours retracing their steps, asking staff if anyone had found it, but to no avail. It really ruined their day at Disney as they were constantly worried about how they would get back home and deal with all the lost items.
Well, I heard that on one Princess Cruise Line trip, there was a malfunction in the ship's sewage system. The stench was unbearable and spread throughout parts of the ship. It was really disgusting and made the living conditions on the ship horrible for the passengers. They couldn't fully enjoy their time on the cruise with that smell constantly lingering.
One horror story could be about getting really sick on board. I heard of a family who all caught a stomach bug during their cruise. The ship's medical facilities were overcrowded, and they had to spend most of their time in their cabins instead of enjoying the cruise activities.
One time, an employee in the costume department had to quickly repair a very important and expensive costume right before a big show. But the necessary materials were not available in time. They had to scramble around, try different makeshift solutions and were under extreme stress. If the costume had not been ready in time, it would have been a major disaster for the show.
Well, I heard about a guy who got stuck in a really bad roommate situation during the Disney College Program. His roommate was extremely messy and noisy at all hours. The guy couldn't get any proper sleep or study time. He tried to talk to his roommate, but it didn't work. And when he went to the housing management, they didn't really do much to help him out, which made his whole experience really tough.
There was a story about a person who dressed up as a Disney character for an event. While in the costume, they started feeling extremely claustrophobic and panicked. It was as if the character they were portraying was taking over them in a negative way.
Sure. There's a secret story about the creation of 'The Little Mermaid'. In the original concept, Ariel was going to be a much darker character. Her story was more tragic and the whole tone of the movie was different. But as the development went on, they decided to make it more family - friendly and light - hearted, which is the version we all know and love today.
There was a story where an employee working on a ride maintenance was injured due to a faulty piece of equipment. The safety protocols were not properly followed by the management. The employee suffered a serious leg injury and was out of work for months. This not only affected the employee financially but also mentally as they were worried about their future at Disney and if they could ever fully recover to do their job again.
Another might involve issues with food. There have been tales of food poisoning on Disney Cruises. Passengers got sick after eating at one of the onboard restaurants. They had symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea, which really put a damper on their vacation. It took a while for the ship's medical staff to fully handle the situation and some passengers were left feeling quite unwell for the remainder of the cruise.
Once, a small fire broke out in a food court area. The fire safety systems at Disney, like smoke detectors and sprinklers, were activated immediately. The well - trained staff also responded quickly. They evacuated the area in an orderly fashion, ensuring that no one was hurt. Then, they worked with the local fire department to put out the fire and clean up the mess. After that, they carried out a comprehensive inspection of the entire food court area to find out the cause of the fire and make sure it wouldn't happen again.
