Are the Brazilian Tour Groups Gone?

[CentralFloridian99]

I'm thinking about heading to the parks Saturday or Sunday evening, and I need to know one thing: Are the Brazilian tour groups gone? TIA.

nope, just read a thread where they said btg still around.

i've run into them at the motherland last year in late sept/early oct.

i have not encountered them at the darkside yet.

Neither have I, and I hope I don't. I don't mind the large groups, but man, the last time we were in the motherland they were just obnoxious with the chanting.

Nope, they are still here. Not sure about this weekend though.

 

[CentralFloridian99]

Are they around at 5:30?

 

[WWEDUDE]

Tons at the motherland this past weekend.

@CentralFloridian99 - normally they stick around most of the day, especially for the night time show.

Are they around at 5:30?

When I went to the Studios last Saturday evening, it was around 5pm when I walked through CityWalk. I saw four or five groups but they were either sitting down or on their way out. I don't remember seeing any groups that night though so you might be good.

Thanks for the help, and hopefully I can make it out to the parks!

Brazilian groups have increased flight prices from my home country to Orlando.
Their plane makes a stop here at Panama and is usually full

Demand is quite high and flight prices have doubled to MCO.

Cheers!

tour groups were at all the parks I went to this past week. They seem to arrive after 9 and leave around 6 or 7 at the latest. Good luck!!

I'm actually going whenever the weather is cool or raining thanks to this heat!

I saw a bunch of them Wednesday evening. They all came to one of the shows, which confused me since they seemed confused most of the time.

Yup...too hot for me.

They are very definately still here!!!!!!

I`m gobsmacked by the sheer numbers of them, have heard of them......but they need to be seen to be believed. Night before last we were in IOA till close and they were still there at 9.....lots of them.

We have been a bit naughty with the ones who are rude and pretend not to understand. I "happened" to stand in the way of a photograph they were taking............I then said No Comprendez when they asked me to move. Oh dear....was that bad We also do NOT move out of the way when they come towards you arms linked in a row of about 5!!!! At least they don`t have EP so don`t impact us, but at Spiderman about 50 - 80 joined single rider.....the girl telling us which row to go to said to us she was annoyed they always said they wanted to ride together....from single rider queue.

But tonight in Walmart there was 8.....yes 8 busloads of them. They had blocked the entry and exit....... so I developed a very loud voice and told them to move. Told the tour leader she needed to get them organised so they were not blocking exits with their very full carts....she said very angrily she was doing her best while......painting her nails!!!!! They moved a bit but then someone else shouted at them to wait in the car park....the tour leader said it was too hot!!!!!!!! They come from Brazil and spend all day here in the sun!!!! And breathe

Not too many today in IOA, only saw 3 seperate groups. But yes they`re definately still here.

I've heard of them, but that's it. Why do they come in droves like that, and is it always at the same time each year?

 

[4MCMICKEY]

The real question would be are there any left in Brazil? We have seen huge groups everywhere...walmart, florida mall, theme parks. Today we saw the largest group....they literally took up the whole ramp getting off the monarail going to magic kingdom and we had already seen like 8 other groups inside. We either have the same touring plan or there possibly can't. E any left in brazil. I am glad at least i am not staying at the same hotel.

 

[CentralFloridian99]

Brazilian tour groups can easily raise wait times. Last year I was in line for E.T., and there was a group ahead of me. It was so big they had to open the extended queue!

Just came back and they were everywhere... The only time they really annoyed me was when they took up all the singles line. The CM did not appreciate and barely let them through... as I was after them, the line to Aerosmith ride was longer than the regular line. (over 80 min)

That's actually pretty common for RNRC, even without the groups.

Oh, I went to US/IOA same time two years ago, and I couldn't believe the sheer numbers of the Brazilian tourists. I haven't encountered any obnoxious groups, but they need to be better organized.
