A few weird things we saw people do on our trip

I can NOT stand it when grown folks use fowl language around little kids. That is when my blood boils and my mouth opens.

Me either - especially when they make the quacking sounds.

My mom and I went to DW last June. We were in line waiting to board Pirates. These two teenage boys behind us kept pushing and attempting to break us. My mom is a tough cookie, so she kept giving them a look and moving us up further away from them. Finally, right when we made it to the loading area, they managed to break in front of us completely. I try not to cuss in public, but I gave them a good 'FU' when they went by. We told the CM, and she allowed us to sit in the front of the next boat by ourselves. It was pretty cool, because we'd never been in the front before. I guess something good did come out of those two jerks. They had to sit in the back anyways.

Also, I hate when people line their strollers up all the way across the street. My mom nicknames them "The Magnificent Seven." I have nothing against strollers at DW. It's just that there's no room to get by sometimes, and it's very frustrating.

I only have one story to tell.

It was our final day at Magic Kingdom and I asked a CM where was a good place to see the Spectromagic parade.. so I found a spot and myself, my boyfriend, and his parents sat down amongst 3 couples.. all three couples had one small child a piece which meant they each had strollers surrounding different areas where they were sitting. There wasn't a lot of room between us and we actually sat there about an hour before the parade started.. just so we'd be able to get a good view (like normal people do).

Well right before the parade started these two women came out of nowhere, crossed under the rope beside us and preceded to push our legs out of the way so they could scrunch together in a tiny little area.. by this time we were all pretty crowded and then out of no where one of the women yells for the kids to come here and 6 kids came running and trampled over us and the other three couples and pushed their way to the front right by the rope.. A CM came over and told the lady that the kids couldn't sit there and she started yelling and complaining that we were taking up all the room and there was no place for her & her 6 kids to sit!!

Needless to say she never did move and she, the other woman, and the 6 kids griped about the parade the entire time!

We had a man standing behind up at Spectro one trip that was whistling one note while imitating the trumpeters except he was doing a whistling robot kind of dance. He was totally into it. Now everytime we hear the song we bust out the robot soldier dance.

I have one story from Disneyland.

Back when the Space Mountain queue went near the second floor of the Starcade, it was commonplace to see teenagers, 6 or 8 at a time, 'join' their friends in line by jumping the queue from the arcade. Most of the time, they ignore the dirty looks and requests from people not to cut in front of them.

One time when I saw this happen, one man (in his thirties, built like a football player) went absolutely crazy. He started yelling "NO!!! THAT IS ENOUGH! YOU KIDS HAVE BEEN CUTTING THE LINE ALL DAY AND I AM SICK OF IT, ALL OF YOU GET OUT OF LINE AND START SHOWING SOME RESPECT FOR PEOPLE OR I'M GONNA PULL YOU OUT MYSELF!" so loudly you could hear him from the queue downstairs.

The teens were so shocked they didn't even say anything. Just meekly got out of line (including the line placeholders), shrugged, and went back into the Starcade. Loudest applause I've heard in a queue in my life.

I tell you, I don't know what it is with Kids and the "wildlife" at the parks. They think its "fun" to abuse animals, chase squirrels in trees, and try and catch Ducks! Many a time I have had to yell at kids for trying to abuse animals, and I yell pretty loud: "Hey!! Leave the animals ALONE they belong here YOU don't!"

I'm with you on this one! If grown people want to fight, let 'em. But once people start to abuse the animals, I find my voice and give them heck!

My last trip to MK I ran into some horrible kids in HM

There were 4 of them that climbed into the DoomBuggy in front of me. They yelled and screamed the whole way calling out to someone ahead of them. then they started hitting the back of my buggy when it would turn around. If that wasn't bad enough, once we got to the mirrors where the ghost is in your car, one of them leans out and SPITS at the mirror. Well I just lost it!!
I yelled HEY!! what the H..L is wrong with you!!! I can't believe you just did that!! Well, they hightailed it out of there as soon as they could, I think they expected me to chase them but I was soooo mad.

 

[LorlovesStitch]

Wow! I can't believe that in our four trips to WDW I have never noticed stuff like these posts. Maybe I better quit having fun with my family and watch other people instead!!

This gentleman was "interesting".

Is there a story there? What did he do that was interesting?

 

[pooh2001]

Last year we were on the monorail from MK to GF for lunch. While on the monorail - a man sitting next to me and my family started to dicuss what was inside a large cardboard tube he was holding. Maps of MK and details of the buildings. He did not have a Disney ID tag on him, nor dressed neatly as an employee. Seemed to be an odd character. He was traveling alone.
We were very relieved when he get got off the monorail at the TTC.
The only thing we could think of was 9-11.

That would have freaked me out. But maybe he was just messing with the kids. Last year I convinced a little boy riding next to me on the bus that I was Cinderellas sister LOL His mom was cracking up.

Back in '05 on our honeymoon, DH and I had settled on the beach at the CR to watch the Electrical Water Pageant. The beach was totally empty! So imagine my surprise and anger, when along comes another couple...just ONE other couple...on the whole freaking beack...and they plop down about 5 feet IN FRONT OF DH AND I!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so shocked that I think I actually got sand in my mouth from it gaping. I actually said loudly "What the H?? Who DOES this???" Then Dh and I got up, loudly huffing and mooved down the beach.

A short while later, before the pageant started, a very loud, VERY drunk group comes along. It was three men, a woman and 2-3 year old little girl. The little girl was trying to pet the ducks (who smartly waddled away from her quickly). The adults were laughing and WASTED and all had beers in hand to boot. Then one of the guys chases the duck down the beach and literally TACKLES the duck to the ground (it was like watching Monday night football) and holds down the now terrified madly-quacking duck so the kid can pet it it.

I've often been the guy standing with a tray full of food, desperately looking for a place to sit before my meal gets cold. And ya know something - I've never felt entitled to berate people who were already seated awaiting their own meals.

In point of fact, I applaud those people who have the courtesy and forsight to send their family to the tables while one or two members of the party get in line. See, counter-service lines at WDW are uncomfortably narrow places, and at meal times they are very crowded, and it's more efficient and more comfortable if the bulk of your party goes to the table to wait for the food.

That way, the lines continue moving forward, and you don't have to contend with guiding a whole family through a packed CS dining area, looking for a seat, keeping the kids and stroller together, and balancing trays full of hot food all at the same time.

It's also more efficient - as the bulk of the party is waiting, they can also send one person to get straws, napkins, s&p, ketchup, etc. instead of all of them camping out in front of the condiment stations.

My appoligies for not reading the 1/2 doz pages after this post but had to toss in my thoughts on this....
When my mom & 2 kiddos go to CS eateries, we always have the kids find a table, get the napkins, flatware condiments etc. I never thought it being rude?
I do know how tight the CS lines are as PP mentioned and having a large group in it when onle 1 or 2 is needed to get the food can be disasterous. I've seen entire trays of food get toppled to the floor from bouncing wiggly munchkins as people try to maneuver w/trays of food.
Plus if you attempt grabbing all the previous mentioned meal necessities while balancing a tray of food it's bound to end up in a spill.
I never knew this was a CS dining faux pau (sp)

Like you have have never seen this as a CS dining "faux pas". I agree with what was said my WillCAD and Marilou. I have also seen plenty of threads and posts that makes me feel that we are in the minority in this feeling.
