We just spent the last 4 days at Disney because family was visiting. I can not believe the number of really rude people we saw yelling at poor CM's and other guests, some using profanity.
1st time- We were waiting for Winnie the Pooh and had fast passes. At first the ride was down, they told us we could come back anytime that night and use our fast pass. We went back and got in line, while in line the ride went down again. People started ranting around us, demanding their fast passes back. Then a poor CM that had been collecting the fast passes comes bawling towards the ride platform. She said people are screaming and yelling at her. The poor girl was so upset. Other guests started offering her hugs, the manager gave her sunglasses to wear to hide her crying.
2nd- We went to opening day at SWW. We got in line for Chewy at 8:15 and his appearance was majorly delayed. A CM announced he wouldn't be out till 9:40 this women starts screaming at her "well what are YOU going to do for US?! We have children in line!!" It was nuts. Chewy came out at 9:40 and managers ended up handing out fast passes to another character of your choice.
3rd- French Quarter pool- During game time a 9-10 year old boy came up when a game of hot potato was almost over and wanted to join. CM kindly told him it was almost over and he couldn't join because they would run out of water balloons. Kid stomps his foot and screams not fair! Mom then gets in poor lifeguards face and starts chewing her out and then walks away. Lifeguards start laughing, thankfully they were able to let it roll of their backs but still.
4th time- SWW in line for Bobba Fett. The CM announced Bobba would be leaving in 5 minutes and Janga would be out. This family in back of me starts complaining and yelling for everyone to "hurray up" then the family in front of me had an autograph book. Well this women behind me starts cursing that its "so blank rude that they have an autograph book!" I couldn't believe it, kids all around and she's cursing and flipping out very loudly.
Those were just the major incidents we witnessed. I usually walk around in my own little world but these incidents were so big I couldn't help but notice them. Just thought it was really sad, in general, that people treat CM's and other guests so poorly.
We did have a great time though and found Disney CM's to be crazy patient and kind in the face of countless rude people.
