Admit it, you've been that rude guest!

[DisneyGuy758]

Why would they only install them at Value resorts? I don't get it....

It is weird...very.

I also see a correlation with parades and busses.

Totally! Maybe that's why we avoid the parades and rent a car!

What do you need to take a picture of in the ride?? Just wondering as with the currently YouTube ride throughs and other website photos what do you possibly need to take a picture of?

Just wondering?

I noticed that taking photos of the ride absouelty takes me out of the experience I'm sad I had to learn that lesson the hard way.

I am guilty of taking a photo if my 2 daughters riding in another pirate ship in Peter Pan! I would never do this now that I realize how rude it is...I was completely mortified when I started to read DIS & realized how it was so upsetting to others. I really don't remember hearing an announcement or seeing a sign. So I was that rude person!

 

[allwritemel]

Yes, I was on Big Thunder at the time ...

I've refused to let children in front of me during a parade before, I'll admit it. You snooze, you lose. I put in the time to stake out my spot, I'm not letting your precious snowflake in front of me just because you arrived at the last minute.

That is not rude. Rude is the expectation that you can show up at the last minute and be given a prime spot to watch from.

Wow. This is like therapy. Hello, My name is Schminston-Mo, and I am a crate crosser.

I was on jungle cruise. For some reason the proper exit speech did not register in my brain and I crossed the crates (speakers) instead of filing to the back of the boat. The CM had to correct me. I just looked at him and the spiel then replayed in my head and I had to apologize "Oh my gosh, I just did exactly what you told us not to. I sorry I am such an idiot". The CM was really polite and said people do it all the time. My family, however, wasn't so kind and called me crate crosser for the remainder of the day.

I now have a bit more sympathy for people who don't follow directions. They may not be intentionally jerky, just have a short case of the stupids like me!

I was very rude once in retaliation and I am still, 2 years later, very embarrassed about it.

When the walls were up around the Dwarves Mine Train, I was walking towards the Mermaid ride along the wall. A family of 3 (mom, dad, young daughter) was coming my way so I moved as much as I could to the right, up against the wall. The man, the family member closest to me, pulled up his backpack and pulled it around and slammed his backpack and his shoulder into my left shoulder. When he did, he dropped his camera.

I turned around to go back although he was at fault. He was from somewhere from overseas (Sweden I think). I saw a point and shoot, battery and battery cover on the ground. He said "you broke my camera!" I said, "you broke my shoulder!" He kept asking why I did not stop walking and told me I am supposed to wait for the children. I told him I did not understand what his point is, but slamming his backpack and shoulder into me was unnecessary and I apologized that his camera broke, but my shoulder is in pain. He just kept saying, "What about the children, you are supposed to stop for the children and now my camera is broke. What about the children. Why did you not stop walking for the children". I said, "I don't know what you expect me to do, you dropped it because you slammed into me!!" His wife said, "We came here from (some place I could not understand) and you ruined our vacation." I told her that her husband busted my shoulder and might have ruined my vacation. She just kept saying, "you broke it. You broke it. You broke it." so I said again, "I am sorry your camera is broken but you need to be more courteous or just go back to your own country!"

That was so rude of me and I feel horrible for saying that last part to them. I have no issues ever with people visiting or moving here from overseas, but I was so mad because they were blaming me for what was a result of his aggression and the woman kept repeating herself like a broken record.....and they expected me to go buy them another camera. If it was truly my fault I would have replaced his camera or gladly given him my own.

Sadly, 2 years later, my shoulder is still messed up. I went to our orthopedic surgeon/doctor after I returned from that trip and learned that the impact caused damage to my rotator cuff. I would still apologize to that guy for saying what I did to his family; I do not want him thinking Americans do not like foreign visitors.

On our very first trip, we were the idiots trying to cross the road in front of the parade.

We were leisurely headed into MK to make a Crystal Palace res for dinner. Weeeell, NINETY FREAKING MINUTES before our ADR time (yes, my MIL is crazy), MIL calls to say that the rest of our party is already there and that the staff is willing to seat them early...but not until DH and I get there. Of course. When we got the call, we had just passed the turnstiles and ran smack into Spectromagic coming through the Hub, with everything roped off for the parade route. If we knew then what we know now, we would've found one of the spots where CMs let you cross between floats periodically. Instead, we raced counter-clockwise through the whole dang park trying to beat the parade, only to get to Frontierland just ahead of it...and be totally blocked by the traffic CMs when we tried to cross the road. And no amount of, "but the rest of our family is waiting at CP, and they won't seat them until we get there!" would sway them. We had to go back the way we came until we finally caught up with the end of the parade. MIL was not happy - it took us almost 40 minutes from entering the park to actually get to the restaurant!

You were manslammed. I'm sorry you were hurt. http://nymag.com/thecut/2015/01/manslamming-manspreading-microaggressions.html
After reading this article, I made the same test as the author and learned it's too risky. Many men really do not move. I was walking at the Contemporary this June on the far right side of a covered walkway. A nicely dressed, multi generation family were walking toward me. The person closest to my side of the walkway was the older man. He did not move. Not an inch. He didn't slow down, lean towards his wife, nothing. It was pouring rain. I stopped dead in front of him and said, loudly, "would you please allow me to pass." His wife grabbed his arm and pulled him aside.

 

[bbjunkie]

Why would they only install them at Value resorts? I don't get it....

Because they don't want the aesthetics screwed up at the more expensive resorts. Apparently, this look is tacky....(see photo)

I've read a couple of articles about this phenomenon over the years and have conducted my own experiments. It really is true. Even though I'm a tall woman at 6'0", men still won't move out of the way when I'm walking towards them. I always end up "man slammed."

Interesting article! I've seen it happen lots but I never knew it was an actual 'thing'!

 

[mummabear]

I'm sure I'm thought of as the "rude" person every time I go to the other side of the cashier. There are 5-7 people on the left side and maybe one person on the right side, so I go to the right. I can't tell you the number of dirty looks I get. There are two lines, I don't understand why people don't use them.

Is there ever a time when both sides are not open? I am nervous about bowling up and being turned away!

They werent at AOA when we stayed there.

Maybe it's to do with us tiff raff at values not being able to behave ourselves like Deluxe folks lol

Fascinating. So what do two men do if neither will move? Are they constantly slamming into each other?

Well... they don't have to be metal bars. They could get creative and make them wooden fences or something. They could make them fit the theme!

I've seen a mad rush for the doors when the bus pulls up. Some people just don't care who was there ahead of them!

 

[vrajewski10513]

I think it also has to do with the capacity of people at the bus stop. all of the Deluxe resorts, aside from AKL have alternate forms of transportation to parks so their busses dont get that busy. Also, at Mods there is one bus stop (albiet one in each section) for all locations. So it would be kind of hard to stand in a queue with barriers, have a bus for Epcot pull up and have to filter the people through a full queue who need to get to Epcot around the folks waiting for MK, HS or AK busses... The reason the queue works for the values is because their stops are separated by their destination. All the guests waiting to go to MK stand in a MK queue, people for Epcot stand in an Epcot queue.. etc.. I haven't stayed at a mod yet (next year!) so I dont know, would there even be enough room for each park to have their own queue at each stop around the resorts?

Got it. Moderate to Deluxe = disorganized chaos.

 

[mom2rtk]

I was going to say the same thing! I think they expect better of their deluxe guests. The funny part is, the great experience we've had with buses is one of the reasons we typically stay at the value resorts.

 

[maxiesmom]

Well then... that is a plus for the values! POFQ/ POR do not. I can only guess that the other moderates are the same way?

I see the lack of a queue line at the Moderate and Deluxe resorts as a plus. Instead of having to stand in yet another line, maybe in the hot sun or in the rain (as the values have no cover over their lines) you get to sit in on a nice comfy bench protected from the sun or rain, and also have a water fountain nearby. I have to say in my 15 plus trips to WDW I have yet to see the bus stamped so many report.
