In my mind, my own kid's meltdowns were the worst, the most embarrassing.
#1) Our younger DD, age 4, at Animal Kingdom, and after several previous long touring days, hit the theme park wall and refused to ride in the stroller with her 6 year old sister. She also wouldn't walk. She just stood up and cried and cried. A kind CM came over to offer her a pin, which settled her down a little, but left my 6 year old miffed as to why her sister got a pin for having a fit, and she got nothing for sitting and behaving herself.
#2) We're always up at the front of the line for rope drop. We never know the exact moment the park will open and the crowds will move, but just before DH thinks that may happen, every single time, he announces that he needs a restroom break and abandons us. He did this once at Epcot and also my youngest, now 6 (has her Dad's bathroom anxiety) decides she needs to go too. So half our family splits for the restroom, and then of course, they open the park. My 9 year old screamed and cried as the crowds rushed towards Soarin, and we had to figure out if we were going to sort of go along slowly and look out for Dad and sister, or if we were ever going to find them, or if we were going to have to wait in line now behinds thousands of people, ugh!
#3) Older DD, age 9, has been very excited to ride Rockin Roller Coaster with Dad. Younger DD chickened out and Dad had to tend to her. Now she had to ride with me, Mom, and I am not as "fun" as Dad. She pitched a fit and threw her glasses on the ground in the ride queue.
