Has anyone ever had a Disney disaster?

Have you ever lost a kid at Disney? Gotten sick or had a bad experience that ruined the trip? What could have been done to avoid it, or was it unavoidable?
The thing is for most of us Disney with the kids is a once-(maybe twice)-in-a-lifetime-experience. The disasters of losing a flight or getting your hotel reservations lost are things we wouldn't want to happen.
I have never had a bad experience at Disney. Also, nothing has ever been as good as Disney (in the theme-park category).
Just wondering about other's experiences.

One of the things that we just love about Disney is that they DO THINGS RIGHT.
Well, I don't know that I would call any of my experiances disasters because looking back on them they're hysterical now and they make for great memories, but it's all in how you look at it.
June 1997 - honeymoon- This was a classic case of poor prior planning. That combined with summer heat 2 hour waits for everything (pre fast pass & pre AK) it ws a pretty miserable time. We honestly didn't think we'd be back, and we had both been before and had a great time!
Dec 2000- We had days left over from our honeymoon and Kait was free so we bought a 2 day ticket so we had 4 days and went down.

Oh we had our ups and downs when we went, tho I wouldn't call anything a disaster, even the lost luggage that didn't make it to our room until 3am or so. Things ran the gamut from the luggage to dropping a pair of sunglasses in the toliet. I was sick, my then 10 yr old got sick.... well... I wrote a trip report you can read if you want-

Again I had no major disaster but we did weather so stuff that could be a drag.
I really got the vibe that almost anything can be worked out. I know for many families it's a once in a lifetime thing. A succesful trip does depend on part planning and creativity but you need a huge amount of attitude too.
Good Luck!
Not really diasters but something that you wouldn't know if it didn't happen.
