There was a family who booked a hotel near Disney. When they arrived, the room was dirty and smelled bad. The air - conditioning didn't work properly either. They had to call the front desk multiple times and wait for hours before someone came to take a look at it. It really ruined their vacation mood.
One horror story is about the long lines. People often wait for hours to get on a popular ride. For example, at the peak time, the line for Space Mountain can be so long that you might end up spending half of your day just waiting. It's a nightmare when you have limited time in the park.
Some visitors had problems with their pre - booked dining reservations. They showed up at the restaurant on time, but the staff said there was no record of their reservation. They had to scramble to find another place to eat, and in the process, they missed some of the shows they wanted to see.
During my Disney vacation, we decided to have a character meal. As we were eating, Goofy came over to our table. My friend was so star - struck that she tried to offer Goofy her burger instead of getting a photo. Goofy just laughed and pretended to take a big bite. It was hilarious and a moment we'll never forget.
Well, there was this family who had their Disney World vacation ruined by lost reservations. They had booked a special character dinner weeks in advance. But when they arrived at the restaurant, the staff couldn't find their reservation. They tried to prove they had made it, but in the end, they had to leave without the dinner. The kids were really disappointed as they were looking forward to meeting their favorite characters.
Some people have horror stories like unexpected high maintenance fees. They sign up thinking it's a good deal, but then the fees keep increasing year after year, putting a strain on their budget.
There are also issues with lost items. Some people lose their wallets, phones or even their children's favorite toys. It can be a huge headache to try and find them in such a large park. The lost and found process may not always be efficient either.
One of my vacation horror stories was when I went camping. It started to rain heavily in the middle of the night. Our tent leaked like crazy, and all our stuff got wet. We had to huddle in the car for the rest of the night, shivering and uncomfortable.
Well, there have been instances where members had problems with the points system. They thought they had enough points for a certain type of accommodation or length of stay, but then found out that due to some complex rules and changes in the system, they couldn't get what they wanted. It's like a bait - and - switch situation, which is really annoying.
A couple went on a hiking vacation in the mountains. They got lost on the trail. As night fell, it started to rain heavily. They were cold and wet. To make things worse, they heard some howling sounds which they thought might be wolves. They huddled together under a small overhang and prayed until morning when they were finally able to find their way back to the main trail.
One horror story is about a vacation resort that had a serious mold problem. Guests started getting sick during their stay but the resort management tried to cover it up. Eventually, when it became obvious, they were slow to relocate the guests. It was a nightmare for those who were there expecting a relaxing time.
In a Disney resort, a guest reported seeing a strange figure that resembled a classic Disney villain in the hallway late at night. It was a shadowy form of Maleficent. The figure just stood there, not moving, but emitting an eerie coldness. When the guest blinked, it disappeared. But later that night, they could hear scratching sounds on their door, as if the figure was trying to get in.
Another story involves an area backstage at Disney. Workers have reported hearing unexplained noises, like whispers and footsteps, in areas that are supposed to be empty. Some believe it could be the ghosts of the people who worked hard to build the Disney magic over the years. It adds a spooky layer to the otherwise magical Disney world.
