Last few trips to Disney I have noticed a rougher crowd - The DIS Discussion Forums

EmilyPr1981 · 11-19-2009, 12:13 PM

On our last two trips we have noticed more of the crowd at WDW are rough around the edges. This has nothing to deal with White, Blacks, Hispanic, Asian ect. Back 8 years ago it seemed like folks when to WDW where presentable people and acted accordingly.
On our recent trip in October of this year and even in April of last year I could not believe some of the slime buckets.
-A family changed there baby’s poopy diaper right on the bench in AK did they throw it away NO, just left it on the ground with feces all over it.
-I don’t know how many guys where spitting chewing tobacco all over the ground.
-I had the pleasure of hearing F-bombs all the time
-at counter service they destroyed the eating area
-throw grabage on the ground or bushes

I noticed this type of group comes out more on the weekend almost like a six flags crowd. But where we stay CBR, SR or Poly we never see anybody like this.

In a very recent trip I too was surprised about the overall "filth" at the Magic Kingdom. The other three parks were spotless but the Magic Kingdom was just beat up. We did not hear the language but noticed tons of trash in the ride vehicles, on the ground, and in grassy areas. I wonder if it is simply just the amount of numbers that park deals with. Even the CM's at times seemed just fatigued (that is to say they were at times rude - but I don't blame them dealing with so many inconsiderate people).

One of the perks of paying higher prices is you don't have to deal with a lot of these people. When WDW offers lower rates and free food it brings out a different crowd sometimes. Even then you usually won't see it at the higher end resorts unless they are upgraded from a value.

I disagree with your statement. That's basically stereotyping people that stay in value resorts. I have seen/heard the same things that were mentioned in the 1st post as well and its usually only at the MK I also feel that these are day visitors that only go to MK because they think that it is "Disney World".

I don't think staying in a value hotel has anything to do with it. I've seen the most inappropriate and disgusting behavior from people who stay at deluxe resorts. You might want to re-word your statement.

I agree. I haven't noticed any difference in the crowd (what's a "Six Flags crowd" anyway?), but I have noticed a difference in the overall cleanliness of the parks - all of them. I think this is related more to staffing cutbacks and an increase in "trashy" people.

I gues I'm one of "these people" because I stay at Value resorts.

There are all kinds of people in the "world" and which resort you stay in has very little to do with who you are. There are rude people everywhere, there are wonderful people everywhere.

That sounds so elitist. This whole thread implies that there is now a "white trash" kind of people who would never have gone to WDW previously because the hotels and prices were just too high. Anyone can behave disgustingly. I have seen people in Porsches picking their noses!

Maybe the disgusting behavior you saw was from people visiting or pool hopping from one of the values resorts. L&G's Dad.

No I don't want to re-word anything but thanks for the offer. People with less money to spend will not be paying $5000 -$10,000 to stay at the GF but they will scrape up $100 per night to stay at POP.

It really doesn't matter how much money a person has, manners and common sense are free. There is no excuse to act the way the OP stated. As they saying goes...You can take the people out of the trailer park but you can't take the trailer park out of the people.

Sounds like you really don't know what you want to say.
