My husband, who has been deployed and has some significant crowd issues, had done very well with the trip to this point. The time of year was well suit as we encountered very few major crowds to contend with. Except this night as we waited for the Electrical Parade to start. Although there were CMs around and clearly marked "cross walks" from the street to the sidewalks, people kept pushing through us and walking over the kids (who were sitting down on the sidewalk, within one of the taped off areas, as we waited). I'm pretty sure it took every ounce of his self control that night!
Even though we were on the back end of our "box" and therefore right along the edge of the tape, the closer it got to the parade, the more people shoved their way in. I had someone poking into me the entire time - apparently there's no concept of 'personal space' (even in the slightest) while in the Hub for a parade or fireworks. If I leaned forward to take a picture, they'd inch forward.
