'Full House' star John Stamos is opening up like never before in his new memoir, 'If You Would Have Told Me,' even admitting that time he got banned from a Walt Disney World Resort hotel.

Having grown up right across the street from Disneyland in Anaheim, California, Stamos has always been a huge Disney fan, so when he was asked to perform at Disney's Grand Floridian hotel at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, with The Beach Boys for promo footage, it was a dream come true... until he got banned.

In his new memoir, 'If You Would Have Told Me', the actor is opening up and admitting that he once got banned from a Disney World hotel -- and he didn't even know it.

After getting the quick promotional footage they needed for potential future use, John Stamos was invited to an after-party at Disney's Grand Floridian hotel. The 'Full House' actor asked the beverage manager to send over some champagne. His girlfriend at the time, Chelsea, did not want to go to the after-party, so he decided to go by himself.

"The party turns out to be a wild Jazucci party with about twelve bikini models from the shoot and just me," he wrote in his memoir. "Champagne keeps flowing, and the night is full of harmless fun and games."

It didn't take long before Chelsea came to the party and "pulls [Stamos] out of the Jazucci by [his] ear." His girlfriend ended up saying goodbye and goodnight to the bikini models as the actor claimed he was "too intoxicated to speak."

They ended up checking out of the hotel as usual and went about their busy lives. As time passed, Stamos tried to book a room at the Grand Floridian, as he "loves the place," but they "always seemed to be booked, no matter how far in advance [he] tried to make a reservation."

Every time he would call, the staff on the other end of the phone would say, "Sorry, Mr. Stamos, no rooms are available."

This went on for quite some time until the cast of 'Full House' filmed an episode at Walt Disney World Resort. That is when Stamos found out he was banned from staying at the Grand Floridian.

"Apparently, after the 'Kokomo' shoot, while I was on The Beach Boys' private jet on the way to the next gig, the bikini babes continued partying and not only left their bikinis at the bottom of the Jacuzzi, but also a bunch of broken champagne bottles as well," he explained in his memoir.

Stamos continued, "I feel mortified, but I apologize and explain that we had already left before any damage occurred. Thankfully, they understand and welcome me back anytime."

Since that incident, the 'Full House' actor has been back at Walt Disney World Resort numerous times, even performing in front of Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom, and Disney-bounding as various characters with his wife, Caitlin McHugh.

John Stamos even helped a man propose to his girlfriend at Magic Kingdom a few years ago!
