That's right! I said it. WDW was full of stupid people. Ignorant, rude, etc. Mostly we let this stuff roll off of our backs because in the end... they were the jerks not us. But I thought I would dedicate this portion of my trippy to those infamous stupid people! They deserve it! If they could grab our attention from all that was happeneing in WDW I owe it to them to have a special section just for them! This is not a place for you all to flame me. As I am entitled to my opinion AND these were our observations and experiences.
Here goes!!
Refillable Mugs! Oh boy. To be honest I could care less if someone brings old mugs. It isn't my place or my job to correct the behavior. However, because this is such a hot topic on the DIS, I noticed it.... a lot!
Case in point. One night as I was refilling my mug (yes purchased this trip) I was waiting at the drink bar. There was a lovely lady in front of me prepping her mugs (all 5 of them) to be filled with assorted beverages. I REALLY had to control myself from laughing out loud because all FIVE of her mugs were from the All Stars reorts! Which resort you ask? I am not sure. Why aren't you sure?, you ask. Well the mugs were SO old you could barely read the writing on them. They must have seen a good hundred washings in the dishwasher and about 10 trips back to the world! And she just went about her business like she owned the joint. Then I started noticing all kinds of mugs. And mugs that were not even from Disney resorts. I think one of the best was a mug from a hotel in Vegas. How's that for saving a buck or two? Or $12.95 plus tax!
Character interactions were not a high priority but we did have a character breakfast scheduled. Donald's Breakfastosaurus. (details to come). Anyway, there was this family next to us. Pretty loud and crude. But again, Ry and I were in our own little world so we just tuned them out. Anyway, Mickey comes around. Cute, sweet, innocent Mickey. This boy (age about 10 or so I would guess) (at the rowdy table) gets his chance to meet Mickey. Well, I guess where they are from it is considered appropriate to PUNCH (yes punch) new friends in the nose. Mickey rubbed his nose and hung his head. I wanted to give him a big ol hug but then I would be taking their time and yes... would end up onthe DIS boards for bad character breakfast behavior! The worst part was this boy (brat more like it) was not even scolded by his parents! Instead they thought it was funny. What a shame.
It was a warm day when we did EPCOT FW. As we were making our way to WS for lunch we notcied the water jets. Well they are just too darn tempting to walk away from so Ry ran over and proceeded to get soaked. I sat under a tree and watched. Well there were maybe 5 kids there. Ranging in ages from toddler on up to about 10. They were all playing. Ryan was the ring leader (go figure) and when the water went away he led them all in a chant of "We want more! We want more!" It was cute and sweet and fun! Well Ryan was standing by one of the larger jets. This Mom tells him off for ruining her daughter's time in the water. Who did he think he was, why weren't his parents standing right there next to him, he needed to make room for her daughter. Now mind you, there are like 2 bigger jets in the middle and there is a HUGE circle of smaller jets. The 2 older boys were in the middle and the little ones were in the smaller jets. I didn't see a problem, but apparently Ry ruined her little daughter's time because he mostly played in the bigger water jet! I called him over and explained to him he did nothing wrong that some people expect the entire park to themselves and have a VERY hard time sharing. We quickly got over it and moved on to lunch at Le Cellier! Oh yeah!
While waiting for HalloWishes on the Tomorrowland bridge we were sitting there chatting away. Well this family comes up and stand right in front of us (and about 6 other people around us). Not only that but the Mom picks her son up and ploops him down on the bench with us.
It was fine because we could still see, but I hate the attitude of entitlement. Sheesh.
OH I almost forgot. We were at MGM. There is a very nice smoking section and so I went in to sit and enjoy a smoke. There were probably 20 places to sit, and we sat under some shade. There was a family there sitting but not smoking. Well I light up because this is my section to do that in right? Apparently I was wrong because this (insert your choice of colorful adjective here) woman goes off on me. How dare I light up. They were here first. I should put it out until they leave. Blah blah blah. I told her this was a smoking section! She said "I don't see any signs." Well in the most sweet voice I could muster I said "The ashtrays are not here for decoration Ma'am. And if you would pull out your map, you wold see this is clearly marked as a smoking area." Yeah that ticked her off. She stomped around (very mature right?) and huffed and puffed (I was shocked she did not have a heart attack) and told her husband they were leaving this instant! I started laughing. Which I think made her even more upset. She said something about going to speak to someone about it and I told her good luck and to have a magical day!
If I think of any more I will add an additional installment!
