A few weird things we saw people do on our trip

TOP COMPAINTS MADE TO CM's at WDW

# 1. Guest - "I was at the restaurant and while I was eating, a rodent passed right by my table!"

CM - "Thats no rodent, that was Mickey Mouse, you were at a character meal, next time take his picture."


#2. Guest - "I was just in the pool and the water was soo cold..."

CM - "Yes ma'am, its July, and our pools are meant to be refreshing, the hot tubs you are looking for are over to the left"


#3. Guest - "I told CRO that I was celebrating my birthday on my trip and I didn't get anything for free or special treatment"

CM - "Sir, you are 47 years old, people stopped making a big deal about your birthday decades ago, perhaps you shouldn't either"


#4. Guest - "Do you know how much I spent on this vacation?!"

CM - "No sir, I do not, but I would imagine it is more than what I am paid to stand here and take complaints from people like you."


#5. Guest - "I waited a whole 30 minutes in line for that attraction and then the ride went down"

CM - "Well, I am sure if your car breaks down on your way home, everyone in your car will simply blame you too as the cause"


#6. Guest - "I was here the whole week and I didn't get any dreams, its not fair"

CM - "Don't feel bad, at least my dream came true, you're leaving".


Now obviously the CM's don't talk like this, but you know, if the circumstance called for it, I'd love to see just a little sarcasm, at the all the guests in ear-shot would get a big kick out of it.

you know, you want to hold a place in line while your wife takes your kid to the bathroom, I have not problem with that. But, if you are gonna try to get 30 people into the line ahead of me, not gonna happen.

I have left lines to take my DD to the bathroom and many times just got into the end of the line with her, lots of attraction line areas are tight and squeezing by 100 people just isn't my thing.

Ahem...

This really takes the fire out of those pool hopping arguments, huh?

First of all, I would LOVE the ability to have a beer with my lunch/dinner at MK. But seriously, what amusement park anywhere in the US lets you bring your own beer???

 

[KayLuvsMickey]

Grrr....growl...OK OK...

First one: we were waiting in line for the safari in the AK, which was moving relatively nicely (we didn't use the FP because the wait was less than 30 minutes). There were the 6 of us, myself and my 2 kids and my relatives in line. Waaaaaaaaaaay up ahead were 2 Brazilians and waaaaaaaaaaaay behind us came the rest of Sao Paolo, complete with baby strollers, mothers-in-law, neighbors, and a couple of sherpas thrown in to carry all their stuff, and they wer "con permisso"-ing their way up the line - in America we call it cutting - trying to get up with the first 2 as if they were Lewis and Clark. Well one unfortunate Brazilian ran her stroller into the back of my leg (and I really am sure it was truly an accident) while doing the con permisso dance. I turned to her and said "excuse me?" and she said "no speeeek eeengleeesh" and I said "no speeeeek spaneeeesh" and the crowd got no further - so sorry the 2 at the top of the line had to go on safari by themselves...

This is a beautiful story, I will be sharing this with family and friends

 

[DizzDoll]

I agree wholeheartedly - I won't jump a long line to get in with the rest of my group. I had that issue on Maelstrom - part of the family was ready to get on one of the boats and the rest of us were at the end of the line - several disgruntled cell phone calls ensued but I was adamant - no cutting for us - and we caught up with each other within 10 minutes.

Do they have NO respect or sense of what's right and wrong!?

 

[thptrek]

So what is this about free ponchos and Dole Whips????? LOL>

 

[KayLuvsMickey]

Do they have NO respect or sense of what's right and wrong!?

Um, can I just say...yuck. This is wrong on so many levels...

Hey, I bet the guy with the idea to wipe down the finger sensors would dig this!

 

[jdb0822]

Not too mention there's no chlorine in those fountains. nasty.

I don't know about you, but on a hot day, nothing beats dipping your feet in a pigeon's toilet.

The funniest part of this story is.. the Brazilians don't speak Spanish, either.

What in the $@&# is wrong with those people? Do they think the fountain was put there to stick their smelly feet in? I THINK NOT. I have no idea where people get their nerve. If you are hot go into a store like every other civilized person does.

Oh my goodness. You know what I hate about that? Here I am, trying to teach my 5 and 6 year old children how to behave in public, telling them why you shouldn't play hide and seek in the clothing racks at Target and there is a group of GROWN ADULTS behaving that way. ARGH! Can't you just see it now? "But MOMMY! how come THEY get to put their feet in the fountain?"

 

[DizzDoll]

1. I'm laughing with you regarding the brazilians not speaking spanish but they got the drift which was important...

2. Wonder if the feet-washers swiped the coins at the bottom of the fountain?????

Ok so here's my story we were at Magic Kingdom watching Wishes and my husband looked over at me gave me a smile and a wink, looking at him a little confused i asked him what "that look" was for and he said you were just grabbing my butt. yeah NO there was a man standing behind us trying to pick pocket my husband's wallet. YEAH not a good idea on the other's guys part. My husband made it known what had happened the guy and his family was going to get kicked out of Disney but my hubby did not want to see that happen because he had small children so he told the CM to let it go but gave the guy a firm warning !!!
I always say i hope he did not do that to someone else

I'm going to remember that, and I'm going to look up how to say it in Portugese and HOPE some tour group tries the old "con permiso" routine on me next time.

It helps that I'm 6'-4" tall and 275lbs; my arms and legs are long enough to completely block even that massively wide Soarin' queue...

Ahem...

Is it just me, or does the kid on the left look like he's trying to wash his nethers in the drinking fountain?

I don't think I'll ever drink from those fountains again. Blech.

I'd love to see the expression on the face of the little girl in teh blue hat. She's probably saying to her mom, "What in the heck do those people think they're doing?!" Or words to that effect.

 

[Smile4Me]

Here is a good one for you:

My boyfriend and I were at Blizzard Beach on Thursday last week, taking advantage of our EMHs, and there was an employee coming around asking to see our keys to the world before we got to the gate, to weed out anyone who wasn't staying in a resort.
There was a family standing in front of us, a mom dad and their two kids. The woman takes out her and her kids keys, and they go ahead...but the father has his key in the bottom of his bag. So he starts mouthing off to the employee: "This isn't the front gate, I'm not showing my key. I only have to show my key at the front gate, and this isn't it, so I'm not getting it out." and so on,,,being a complete jerk to this employee, who is only trying to help people get in faster. So the employee says "maybe I should get a manager, I'm only doing my job, trying to get you extra time in the water park sir. But if you don't want to cooperate, I can have a manager help you."
So then his wife chimes in "no thats ok, no need for a manager," and the guy says "this is just a f*cking pain in my a** thats all, no need for a manager, I just have to dig this god d*mn thing out of my bag"...and finally he does and as the employee walks away, the guy says "I'll talk to a f*cking manager, I'm not afraid"....
all in front of me and my boyfriend,,,and plenty of children, including his own.
so I turn to my boyfriend and say,"gosh what a jerk. the employee is just doing his job, what a jerk!"
HIS WIFE HEARS ME! Turns around and says, "Thats my husband you're talking about..."
and I looked at her and said "Yea, and I called him a jerk, because thats what he is. There is no need for that"
And they walked off...And we enjoyed our stay at Blizzard Beach very much . The end.

Last Wednesday we were entering AK and going thru the bag check. A guy had a cooler full of beer and they told him that it was not allowed in the park. He was upset that he couldn't bring it in there and asked for security. Another security guard came over and told him the same thing. In the meantime I am mad because now this guy is holding up the line for "beer". We, along with the other 10 people got out of line and went in the next one. My DH and I just couldn't believe that for x amount of hours in the park that this man who was there with his family, couldn't be without his beer.QUOTE]

that man is cheap (like my brother) or he is a nascar fan and is used to dragging around his beer. gets a beer and exercise too.
