Annoying things you have overheard at Disney.

We were on a bus once and the family behind us were talking about where to eat that night, they decided that as it was their last night and they wanted some real food they would have a special family dinner and so decided upon.....McDonalds!!

That makes me wonder what they have been eating if they think McDonalds is real food!

I'm not sure this qualifies, but it certainly annoyed me when I heard it. Was at WDW with my ex -- his first visit there. When he had his first Mickey bar, I took a picture. A man walking behind him said something to the effect of "good grief - taking a picture of ice cream!" And what annoys me even more is that this man is IN the picture!

Great thread, by the way!

Yes I would say it counts, there are some very annoying people around and your not likely to forget that one as you have the photo to remind you

I also agree great thread

I thought of another one this afternoon, how many of you have heard this :

'Are you from the UK - I love your accent'

Every trip at least 20 times a day - gets a little annoying

Yep I agree that gets a little boring after the first 300 times!

I just told Robert about this thread and he just said: "I'm now in fear that someone on your forum is going to post and say they heard some kid saying: "I just sat in some S*** on the Buzz Lightyear Ride!"....!"- Yes, you guessed it, that kid was him!!! Granted it was several years ago, but still.....

Dont know if this counts but after years of trying to get my parents interested in coming over with us my Dad said " I can't stand Yanks"
On I must point out he had only ever been as far as Tenerife Needless to say on our trip together in 04 he fell in love with a mouse ! And quite liked our American friends

The most annoying (and also the funniest) thing is definitely the UK comments. When people ask where we're from we say Manchester as it's easier than explaining exactly where we are. This one time we were talking to a guy who clearly thought he knew everything about the UK. When we say we're from Manchester, he replies "ah so you're Scottish" Do we sound Scottish???????

Last time when we were there for Thanksgiving, I heard someone say "so do we wish them Merry Thanksgiving?" Shame the person saying it was my Dad!

Another really annoying thing for me was the Pop Warner cheer and footie teams when we went last Dec. Believe me, you could hear them from across the lake in World Showcase!

What never ceases to amaze me (although it doesn't annoy me as such) is just how many people ask if you're from London when you mention that you live in the UK/England; and, similarly, the number of people who assume you support/want to enter into a conversation about Manchester United!

I was in Hyde Park yesterday and there was an American family and all five children had Manchester United tops It wouldn't have been so bad if they were Liverpool.

This wasn't in Disney, but it was when we were on our Disney holiday, so I thought I'd share (I'm just nice that way! !)!

We were in a restaurant in Paris having lunch (Steak Bernaise for Robert and Seabass for me! Lovely!) and this really loud group of three American woman (One woman was obivously the mother, and two daughters about my age)... The waiter came over to take their order, and they were studying the menu (All of which was simple, yet delicious looking, french cuisine) and they all turned to the guy and said, spelling out each syllable: "Do you know what a Hamburger is?"... The waiter sighed and nodded: "Oh great! We'll have three of them!!" the girl said. The waiter had a heck of a job explaining that just because he knew what they were didn't mean the restaurant sold them. They all left saying: "Let's go to that classy place- The MacDonalds with a white 'M'!!"...!!! I didn't know whether to or

I was in the line at the Simpsons (only us in front), stopped to let my son have some water but still in the line, a couple came up from behind and went ahead of me, no one else behind. To rejoin my hubbie and other son we nipped in front of them, I didnt bother to say anything to them as they had not said anything to me as they had pushed past me.

The woman, who wasnt English speaking, proceeded to have a go at me for not saying excuse me as I rejoined our group. I then said she hadnt said anything when she had jumped the line. I felt so cross because they had been in the wrong to start off with.
