Considering that Disney World attracts thousands upon thousands of people every day, it's no surprise that not everyone has a picture-picture perfect experience when they go. The House of Mouse has encountered its fair share of the strange and unusual over its many years of entertaining the masses.

1-Baby smuggling

Obviously, you're not allowed to bring toddlers and babies onto every ride available at Disney World's theme parks. There are certainly areas where you're encouraged to do so, but we all know you're not going to be able to smuggle your wailing child through the hour-long wait for Space Mountain and onto the indoor roller coaster itself. Still, that didn't stop one dummy from trying to do just that. Disney Fanatic reports a visitor once attempted to smuggle a large bag onto the ride. When the visitor refused to open the bag after being stopped by the ride's cast members, security arrived. They found a 6-month-old baby inside that the parent was trying to hide in order to ride Space Mountain. Encounters like this are much more frequent than you realize, as parents oftentimes don't bring someone who could watch their children who are too small to ride certain attractions

2-Dumbo throws up in front of everyone

The biggest rule at Disney World for its characters is that they can never take off their heads in public on threat of being immediately fired. So, that means there's a lot of suffering inside those heads on hot days. The extreme heat and lack of air can put a Mickey or two down for the count and, according to the book Inside the Mouse, it happens every summer.

Sometimes, it's even worse than fainting at a character meet-and-greet. One cast member described a moment where he played Dumbo in a parade. It was an awful day, he felt sick, and knew he was going to vomit. If he pulled the head off to do so, he'd lose his job and probably cause a few children's future therapy bills along the way. So, he threw up right in the head. It was so bad, barf started pouring out of the little mesh-covered hole where Dumbo's mouth should be. The cast member, however, made it through the parade without beheading. He claims that, even if a character throws up or passes out on a float, nobody ever pulls them off the ride. You just keep waving and hope a kid thinks that Dumbo's just leaking some magical flying juice.

3-Monorail fire

The monorail always seemed like the future of transportation. It looks kind of weird and vaguely spaceship-ish, plus the fact it rides on one rail makes it mysteriously cooler than those boring two-rail trains. But there's a reason this train system is better suited for Shelbyville than anywhere else in the country … like when you have to climb down 30 feet to escape a fire in the car.

In 1985, a monorail car tire went flat, and the friction caused the car to ignite. Approximately 240 people were on the six cars, and they all quickly found that exiting a monorail mid-journey is not an easy task. The cars are situated on concrete beams 30 feet high — since most people didn't want to try their luck with a three-story fall, passengers had to climb on top of the cars, to avoid smoke inhalation and possibly burning to death.

Eventually the fire department came with cherry pickers to rescue the passengers — though there were some injuries, none were serious and no one died. Thankfully, Disney did not try to spin the monorail disaster as a tryout for a new "Escape the Public Transportation" ride, though telling people that you had to hoist yourself to the top of a monorail car while escaping flames will likely beat anyone else's Disney World story.

 4- A snake attack kills a grandma
And now for the dark side of weird Disney stories.

CBS News reported that in early 2016 at Disney World's Animal Kingdom park, an unfortunate death occurred when a wild snake (that was not part of any of the zoo-like attractions) fell from a tree and bit a young boy. The boy is just fine, since the snake is non-venomous. Unfortunately, the boy's grandmother was watching the whole ordeal and went into cardiac arrest from the surprise. Park medics treated the boy with a bandage, but grandma unfortunately didn't make it. The family, of course, sued Disney World, as the snake was a local Florida serpent that somehow made it into the safari-like resort.

5-A loaded gun on the Dinosaur ride

Guns in a theme park normally do not a real fun story make, but no one got hurt in any way, so feel free to laugh at it.

A grandma and her grandson were riding the Dinosaur ride (themed to the oh-so-forgettable Dinosaur movie), when she realized there was something at the floor of her ride car. It wasn't a big deal, just a fully loaded gun! The woman immediately gave the gun to an attendant, and soon the police were called. They found the gun's owner, Angelo Lista, who seemed pretty chill about the whole thing. He claimed he didn't know you couldn't bring loaded guns into a children's theme park. Sure, security searched bags as you entered, but he thought that was only to find bombs and such. People like that are why shampoo bottles have instructions telling you not to eat the shampoo.

Since the Dinosaur ride is herky, and might we say jerky, the gun fell out of his back pocket during a bumpy moment, and he exited the ride without realizing he was missing his deadly weapon. Now, people have to go through metal detectors before entering the parks, so you don't have to worry that your child will find an extra special toy on the floor of your favorite
