WDW Rules Written by DIS

[BamaFan121s]

So I'm reading in another thread where some are of the opinion that waiting in line is not really a requirement, just a diabolical idea/rule that DIS members made up because they personally don't agree with line cutting (so long as someone is holding your place).

So my question is, what other "rules" have DISers made up that this theory applies to? What other "rules" are frequently preached here, but not really Disney policy?

[imthatgirl]

you have a great nack of twisting words dont you? why spend so much time starting trouble?

[BamaFan121s]

Nope, sorry, not twisting anything--I think I summed it up pretty nicely in a 'generally speaking' manner. Just asking a question--it's not the first time I've seen that claim or wondered that myself. So I'm just curious as to how many people found what was claimed as 'official policy' here to be different from what they actually experienced.

i.e. I was under the impression that there was a minimum age limit for single riders, yet I rode TT on the last trip w/ a 6 yr old who was riding alone.

at 2300 plus posts? I am guessing you might already know what the hot button topics are?

So I am gonna sit by the sidelines while breast feeding my child on a leash in public after pool hopping to use my refillable mug from my last trip while parked at the contemporary.

[wildeoscar]

Did I mention that while pool hopping I was on the phone making ADRs in all four parks at the same each under a different name that I have no intention of canceling?

[wildeoscar]

Oh and I am doing that while I rented an ECV even though I can walk to get a GAC that I don't need so I can cut in line.

You sure covered them all!

[wildeoscar]

and did that just so I would get to the parade at the last min. and crowd in front of people that have been waiting an hour to see the parade.

[UrsulasShadow]

AND tipping below 15% all the while?

[wildeoscar]

But then I rented a stroller, a doublewide, to push my 14 year old and my 16 year old in, which is not easy to do while breast feeding and driving an ECV at the same time.

Of course I do, but I didn't metion any specific topics, did I?

Simply put, what have you recieved advice on here that you found to be inaccurate from your experience while in WDW.

(While breastfeeding your kid, please be sure to do so while smoking in a non smoking area!:goodvibes )

How did you get both those kids up on your shoulders at the same time, while standing in front of people waiting for the parade?

[wildeoscar]

I tip 2%, on a good day while the wind is at my back, my hairy back, and did I mention I wear a thong?

ew, smoking is nasty... I would turn that around to, What advice have I given that was inaccurate. I once told someone that the food at 9 Dragons wasn't so bad.

What about the rest of your Brazilian group? And do the skates help you move faster when you are chasing the ducks and rabbits?

Don't forget all those condiment packets you dumped in your bag at the CS counters - you just never know when you'll need an extra 20 or 30 packets of ketchup.

Next time you guys get on Pirates, leave the segways outside--they were blocking the on-ride video I took w/ my super bright lcd screen video camera. I would have asked you guys to move them, but I was too busy talking on my cell phone!

But you forgot to mention bringing in your dog (because to you he/she is you baby) in a stroller because he/she is tiny and you want people to notice. :lmao:

And what about allowing your child to cry/scream and hit other people and doing nothing about it. Because after all "Disney is for KIDS". And of course YOUR children do not have to stand in line :eek: .

And I might have missed it, but were you wearing your bikini around the park and telling people "if you don't like it don't look"?

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[churchpilot]

Some people by nature are polite and rule abiders...others notsomuch. If anyone on this forum gives inaccurate information on purpose, then it is more of a personality issue---much like posting to stir up trouble or maybe because they are simple lonely and want some attention. Some people may also give out inaccurate information by accident. When this happens there are usually a few more replies right behind them gently setting them straight or giving another view point or experience. Me thinks that the OP might have trouble playing well with others...

[Lamandpercy]

:lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl:

Too funny! I would also make sure you bathe in the fountain, take several hours in the bathroom with disinfectant and post it notes and wear your pyjamas all day long WITHOUT a bra.

[disneymyway]

Well you wouldn't believe what I did today. I wrote a blog entry about refillable mugs - and I called WDW to get the authoritative last word on the subject.

http://web.mac.com/wendyd3520/Disney_My_Way/Blog/Entries/2008/7/18_The_Final_Word_on_the_Refillable_Mug.html

Nah, not so much, but thanks anyway.:dance3: Now, excuse me while I "play" with others who are enjoying themselves by making light about frequent overly serious issues...:banana:

[missj1975]

Well after I finished laughing so hard after wiping my tears, I made a lettuce salad with homemade thousand island dressing (those ketcup packets do come in handy). I do love Disney's condiment bars. Plus I washed the salad down with lemonade made out of lemon slices and sugar packets. Does that make me cheap or frugal?:rotfl:

[disneymyway]

I had the most hilarious talk with WDW customer service this morning!

She thought I was kidding about the fights people get into over the mugs - I assured her it was no joke!! :lmao:

So she got out her official manual and checked with her supervisor - she came back and told me that what I put in my blog is the official WDW stance!!!

I doubt if this will really stop the fights but I'm declaring it over anyway!! :laughing:

[Sleeping Becca]

On adults only trips we eat at CRT and go to character meet and greets. We also like to sit on the front row to watch parades.

I also like to rest my feet in public fountains, and if my DH can't make it to the bathroom at WS (because he is drunk) he just pees behind the bushes (discreetly of course). We also do ALOT Flash Photography, that is lift up our shirts to take pictures using the flash on dark rides and theater attractions.

[BamaFan121s]

I doubt if this will really stop the fights but I'm declaring it over anyway!! :laughing:

I don't think it will be over until Walt rises from the grave and tells people in person that it's over. And even then I'm sure someone will say it was a trick made up by DISers.:lmao:

Guess this answers my question of -- if you wear them over your pajamas, are these the same pajamas you wear to go get breakfast at the food court each morning! :rotfl:

[WDSearcher]

So I'm reading in another thread where some are of the opinion that waiting in line is not really a requirement, just a diabolical idea/rule that DIS members made up because they personally don't agree with line cutting (so long as someone is holding your place).

So my question is, what other "rules" have DISers made up that this theory applies to? What other "rules" are frequently preached here, but not really Disney policy?
Line cutting does not have a posted policy, as it does at Six Flags and other parks, but it is also not simply a DIS invention. The official Disney policy regarding Guest Courtesy reads: "Please assist Walt Disney World Resort by showing common courtesy to fellow Park Guests. Please be respectful of others. Do not use profanity or engage in unsafe, illegal or offensive behavior. Proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times." By and large, Disney trusts its Guests to be polite and courteous -- some may beg to differ, but most folks do not consider line cutting to be either polite, courteous or respectful.

i.e. I was under the impression that there was a minimum age limit for single riders, yet I rode TT on the last trip w/ a 6 yr old who was riding alone.
Some Disney rides have age limits, mostly regarding infants. Several -- like Tomorrowland Indy Speedway -- specifically state that children under 12 months cannot ride. Aside from that, rides do not restrict children by age, only height.

The policy around "minimum age" is a "park entry" restriction that many people have kind of mis-interpreted as a "riding alone" policy. The official Disney policy regarding children in the theme parks is: "Persons under seven(7) years of age must be accompanied by a person over the age of 21 years when visiting: Magic Kingdom® Park, Epcot®, Disney's Hollywood Studios™, Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park."

To note a few others that tend to be "hot button" issues:

Official parade policy reads as follows: "Some parade routes or show areas have designated viewing areas for Guests with Disabilities. These areas are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to Guest demand, viewing spaces cannot be reserved or guaranteed. Parties larger than six (6) may be asked to separate and reunite afterwards."

Official policy regarding alternate entrances for people in wheelchairs: "Some attractions have auxiliary entrances for Guests with Disabilities. These are intended to offer Guests in wheelchairs or with service animals a more convenient entrance to the attraction. Auxiliary entrances are not intended to bypass waiting lines. Guests with disabilities and up to five (5) members of their party may enter through these entrances. The rest of the party should use the main entrance."

Plus I washed the salad down with lemonade made out of lemon slices and sugar packets. Does that make me cheap or frugal?:rotfl:
I love the free cheese soup at Pinnochio's Villiage Haus. I wish they had bigger bowls, those little bitty cups don't hold nearly enough.

Here is the recipe for Condiment Bar Thousand Island Dressing for your lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle salad available for free at a counter service location near you.

one little paper cup of Ketchup
two little paper cups of mayo
a dash of mustard
one fourth plastic spoon of sweet relish
one eighth of a raw onion diced finely with plastic knife
salt and pepper to taste

mix well and bon appetite!

Um, I meant specifically an age limit to ride in the single rider line...not that it really matters. But thanks for the info just the same.:)

[BamaFan121s]

Will you all PLEASE stop cussing so much! This guy cannot hear me yelling at him that he is male and must therefore give me his seat on the bus!

[Sleeping Becca]

I also like to run over people in my rented ECV that I DON"T need.

I don't give up my seat on the bus, not to old people, or very pregnant women, not to handicap persons using a cane, not for a mom holding 2 sleeping infants at 2am on the trip back to the All Stars from MK. Did I mention my DH doesn't either.

[missj1975]

I rent a stroller even though I don't have kids. I need something to hold all my stuff that I just can't survive a whole day without. It also comes in handy to push slow people out of the way.

This is great! I'm printing it and taking it with me in September. I'll show it to other people at the counter, too. Might as well get our money's worth out of those "free" condiments. Meanwhile, I'll have the family staking out about three tables so we'll be sure to get one we like.

[wildeoscar]

I need these three tables to breast feed after making my condiment salad. And I am leave the table full of the trash from my riding ice chest that I tow behind my ecv

[Sleeping Becca]

We are the people that continue to lift up our shirts on Spash Mountain, so you can't get your picture at the end.

I also like to get FP for my tour group of 40, and then immediately wait at the FP entrance with my group until our window rolls around.

It makes the time go faster if you argue with the CM every five minutes about how you should be allowed in early. I rent a wheelchair that I don't need to tote around all my belongings and wield it in front of me while arguing, blocking as many people with legitimate return times as I can. I figure the CM will eventually get tired of that and just let me through, and then I get on my cell phone and loudly call the other 28 people in my party to come catch up to me in the line. When we're done, we walk over to the Beach Club, where we parked our cars because we don't want to pay for parking at Epcot.

[Sandy Fisher]

The recipe for the "free" Thousand Island dressing sounds just yummy...................But on a serious note, I have seen people make tossed salads with stuff they got at the fixin's bar. Have seen it done in some of the counter service restaurants and I mean a LARGE salad. I didn't notice what they used as a container or where they got it. And I've seen the same people add the individual packets of Iced Tea (that you can buy in boxes at grocery stores), or lemonade or whatever to their cups of water. :-)
DH and I agreed that we aren't spendthrifts, but there are certain things we just wouldn't do. Disney trips can be expensive, but sometimes I think the Disney on a nickel goes a little over the edge and I wonder how much it really saves.
Thanks for a lot of laughs. At first I wasn't even going to read this post or the replies, but I'm glad I did. Funny stuff. And glad to see some of the Disney official positions.

I personally feel that when I am trying to get through a crowded line saying excuse me - I am being courteous. I find it discourteous that people do not just part, like the red sea for Moses, for me. I also enjoy the quiet out of the way areas reserved for smokers and hate when I sit there to rest that they do not put out their cigarettes and go else where. I even cough and they still don't get a clue. I paid a lot for my park ticket and they need to move.

[Sleeping Becca]

I bring a hookah and smoke (tabacco of course) on the monorail, I hope none of you mind. I do this while cursing loudly on my cell phone. I don't refill my refillable mug from past trips at the resort, that would not be classy. I do, however fill it with beer, to take with me to MK. I love Old Milwalkee light and they don't sell it on Disney property. I buy about 7 cases (one for each day) and put it in the hotel room and ice it down in the bathtub, it takes a lot of ice, the whole machine full. We go swimming everyday so we don't need the bathtub.

[BamaFan121s]

<gulp> Uh-oh...guilty here.

[jngwright]

Well-I'm off to Target to buy platform shoes and hats for the kids so they are tall enough to ride all the rides they are really too short for. I also just sent an email to the pedatrician asking for confirmation that my kids are (fill in height here)so I can stand in line and argue with the CM when they tell me they are too short.

My children wear beehive wigs, (looks really natural I assure you) so we don't need to get the note from the doctor. The boys look a little strange, but they still get to ride.

BTW if you are getting a letter it is better if you get one from the Bureau of Weights and Measures, than the pediatrician.

Oh my gosh I needed a laugh today!

I really wish the non smokers would quit acting like my standing right outside the park entrance finishng my smoke could give them some sort of disease or something....Now excuse me while I stand next to you for the parade while you eat your buffet of food,,, Don't mind the bucket of bugspray I put on right next to you...oh if your not going to eat that...popcorn::
