Don't stand so close to me...

[audrabolster]

Don't forget to bath and use deodorant...POTC can be a very long ride when the group of three guys in the row in front of you forgets what soap, water and deodorant are for! And of course they were wearing tank tops with their arms up along the back of the seat.

AGREED.

 

[audrabolster]

I won't tell you what I do to the people that crowd me in line for Space Mountain....hahaha. (Not all of them...just the super annoying ones.)

I can usually handle ONE flash photo taken on Pirates or the Haunted Mansion. But when it's a lot of photos in a row....no way. That is awful.

Not listed...but what about the necklaces with all the flashing lights? Those things are bright and should be turned off on dark rides. At the beginning of Pirates, we once had a group of a few people that each had those on. I was in the back of the boat so I just kind of yelled to the front "can you please turn the necklaces off??" I tried to sound nice...haha. Then a bunch of other people started going, "turn the necklaces off." It was kind of funny. They did turn them off and everyone clapped.

I know a lot of people have those necklace for their autistic kids, but on the dark rides, it gives me the worst headache and actually makes me feel really dizzy. I wish those people would just carry a small glow stick, which don't induce any seizures.

Garlic breath!!!!


Need I say more??




Actually, I do need to say more... It nauseates me soooooo much to have to smell garlic breath. It is so offensive.

Unfortunately, (or rather, fortuantely because they are just sooo yummy!) Cafe Orleans serves Pomme Frittes which are garlic fries. So you may encounter more garlic breath than before. I think they are a new addition to the menu after the remodel a couple of years ago, so while you might not have run into it before, you might now.

Perhaps a remedy for that is to go enjoy an order of Pomme Frittes yourself?

 

[disneegrl4eva]

Oh I thought of a couple new great ones. I will give them all names and classifications based upon some of the clever names I've heard so far.

1. Space Invaders - They get as close as possible to you in line. You might as well be sharing a pair of pants. Also known as "The Rear Admiral."
2. Super Soakers - They feel the need to cool off using their squirt bottle fan right next to you. "Thanks for sharing your bacteria mist with me."
3. Hackers - You've seen them or more so you've heard them. They cough up a lunch while sitting uncomfortably close to you. Coincidentally they tend to smell like cigarettes.
4. PDA LOL - These are the teenagers that suck face in front of you and your kids. Get a tiki room.
5. Fart Sniper - They stand near you, fart, then escape before you know what they just did. "WAS THAT YOU?!?!"
6. King Turkey - They proudly display their half eaten turkey leg like a royal scepter and smack away on the greasy ball of delicious meat on the end of a bone. They become King Turkey when they use it to accidentally "Knight" you while standing in line.
7. Awesome Blossom - These are the people who smell like onions. It's gross. Please ride Soarin' a few times and let the air freshener scents soak in.
8. Town Crier - You can't miss these loud talkers. You're part of their conversation whether you want them or not. I pretend they're a tour guide pointing things out to me and my fellow guests. "Honey! Look! It's Jack Sparrow!" I see him. Thanks for pointing him out sweetheart.
9. Locomotives - These are the people who refuse to smoke in the designated area. They just march along hiding their cigarette in their hand. You can't miss them by the plume of smoke coming from their mouth every few feet.
10. George Carlin - The name may seem confusing but once you hear somebody conjugate the "F" word several times in one sentence you'd swear they were channeling this potty mouthed comic. Many Town Criers are George Carlin's as well.
11. Britneys - These are negligent mothers. 'Nuff said.
12. Flasher - You can't miss them. They ruin every dark ride in an attempt to capture every single moment at the park no matter what the cost. They don't care that it spoils the magic as long as their photos look good. Most of them don't.
13. Electrical Parade - They only come out at night but nobody cheers for these walking light shows. They illuminate dark rides such as POTC and THM. You'd think after watching that spinning thing for 15 minutes they'd get bored with it. Shows what I know.
14. Verizon Guy - He makes sure his cell phone works on every ride. How do people hear him on the noisier rides? Easy. He just talks louder.
15. Surround Sound - This is the enhanced audio supplied by people who have been to the park one hundred too many times and have memorized the ride spiels. The illusion is usually blown when they blow a line though. "Our tour begins here in this gallery where you see paintings of some of our guests as they appeared in their... mortal? OOPS! Corruptable mortal pose... I mean state!" At this point the bones have already fallen and the doors are opening to the hallway. Good effort though. You'll get it next time.

If I've left any out let me know.

OMG that was tooooooooo funny....

Or the SPIEL SPEAKERS who think it impresses everyone that they know all the words to the Haunted Mansion recorded voice?

ok i admit...i WAS a spiel speaker but I go so often that Im tired of reciting it

ok the sniping story ...........in the line for Indiana Jones these teenage girls would not stop singing ......so my Dh sniped them...........they stoped singing and said "it smells like anus in here!" ...............well at least they stoped singing . I can't go through that line without remembering that day..........no singing on line if you are older then 6 year sold ....got it!!!!!!!!!

 

[audrabolster]

whenever I hear people speaking on Haunted Mansion I want to slap them across the face. Do they not realize how miserable they make us???

 

[pixiewings71]

OMG!! These are hilarious!! Quest, you are killing me!!!! LOL

Ok, but I have to say that at times I have been a hacker, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with smoking, I have a tendency to get bronchitis in the winter (this year it was pnuemonia and I was out of work for 4 days) and after the cough just stays with me....it has actually been known to linger for 6-8 weeks. I am NOT kidding here, that's the way I am. In fact, when we were at DL at the end of Jan I was coughing from my bout with pnuemonia that was at the beginning of Jan. I came home from DL with pnuemonia! So, it's not always from smoke, nor is it always preventable or contagious.

As for the light sticks, we love them!!!! We almost always have them with us but we always take them off or turn them off on the dark rides. Unless it's something like Mr Toad where we are by ourselves. Pirates, HM, even Splash at night we take those babies off, or in the case of our Tink and Hook lights we turn them off. They can trigger migraines in me as well, and when I get them they make me sick to my stomach. I can understand why it would help some children, but please sit in the back (Thank You to the PP who requests this) or have a smaller stick that won't interfere with the enjoyment of others. and flashers and verizon guys, honestly, I really just want to snag your camera/phone and toss that bad boy into the water!

Don't working about the hacking. There are exceptions to every rule. I mean...we all get sick once in a while. As long as you're not hacking on people...or hacking into your hand and then touching something....it's no biggie. Sick people just need to hack into your arm/inner elbow area. And wash their hands/purell often.

This is what we do. we buy a bunch from the dollar store and we are good to go, since they don't last long. we tie one in her shoes and let her have one around her neck or wrist.

 

[pixiewings71]

Oh man, I never cough on anyone, unless they have done something major to piss me off and then I might....LOL hehe And I always cough into my arm, my jacket sleeve, whatever. I try really hard not to spread my germs all over the place. I also wash my hands and try to remember the Purell, it's not something I need to worry about though because like I said, I'm not contagious or even sick, I am simply coughing.....

 

[Corpsebride]

On the serious side of it though, this is MY problem, but I have light sensitivity with migraines and a lot of times a bright flash from a camera right in my eyes if I happen to be right in front of it can trigger a migraine for me.
This happened twice on my last trip to DLR. Not fun!

QUOTE]
I also get KILLME NOWmigraines because of light sensitivity. Try yellow tinted lenses. I also found out that msg causes light sensitivity in somepeople, like me. So, I had to start checking labels and watching where I eat chinease food. Oh, and if you wear glasses and do computer stuff, make sure you wear your glasses everytime. I totally understand, I get those "turn off the lights, dont talk to me, dont touch me, I dont want anything to eat or drink Im going to die I have been stabbed in the eyes with an icepick" Migraines.
Good luck!!

 

[jemilah]

Quest you sound like my DH! This has turned into one of the best threads every!

 

[DoomBugger]

C'mon, there have got to be more "sniping" stories out there. Victim? Perpetrator? I think a case could be made for DL being the "snipers" capital.

I looked around and did some extensive research and all the experts are saying with great confidence that the first cases of "sniping" at DL occured on July 17, 1955. j/k

 

[jemilah]

DH was quite proud that he got mentioned in this thread............he said he load up on eggs , cheese and beans before the next trip.

How about the Disney sniper ride..........a dark ride complete with smell-o-vision

And for all your favorite odors..........Small world is now " Its a Small Stinky World" The odors and sounds of all cultures of the world!

Both parks have the Sniper attraction. It's a pretty fun ride. They really pack them in too so you can let several people "have it" at once and nobody can leave the room. What's even better is after the Sniping ride you get to tour a haunted mansion.

On the subject of Hackers I really don't mind if somebody has a cough. I don't like it when I'm trying to eat or stand in line and somebody 2 feet away is coughing up a lung. I politely relocate myself to an open area or cough into my sleeve so I don't put my bacteria laden hands on everything.

NEW CLASSIFICATION!!!

Rain Bird - Named after the popular sprinkler head manufacturer, these folks can be seen "cooling" down the sidewalks by spitting on them. There's really nothing amusing about these people. It's just disgusting. Why do they have to spit everywhere. Are they incapable of swallowing? How do they consume a soda?

 

[famograham]

UGGHHH!!!
I hate people spitting anywhere...but the picture you just conjured is so EXTRA disgusting for the pristine, beautiful streets of DL.

I can't imagine what would have to happen to make me spit on the ground at DL....bug in my mouth...rotten food...FART SNIPER... eeeeeeewwww!

 

[DevilDuckie]

Don't let those non-english speaking people fool you. They do speak english. We had a woman and her child cut in front of everyone who had waited 2 or more hours for the fireworks and she was trying to butt in front of my dad. My dad said her to that he'd been there for two hours and she needed to back off. She pretended she didn't speak english so I said "she does speak english she's just pretending" and I turned to her and said "so she can be excused for being rude!" She then took her daughter and left. So don't be fooled, and when all else fails get a multilingual cm.

My "favorite" language moment...

We were sitting on the curb watching a parade and the boy behind me wanted my spot. He tried shoving and pushing with his feet and when that didn't work... all of a sudden I felt a sharp strike on the top of my head! The little creep HIT me on the head! I turned around and let him have it while his mother stood there staring. The rest of their party showed up and she started complaining to them in Spanish that I was mean to her kid and it wasn't his fault because... wait for it... "he doesn't know English!"

No kidding. She really thought not knowing English was a good reason for her brat to be hitting people. I am still baffled. None of the non-English speakers I know consider not hitting to be an English Only skill.

 

[EmEyeSeeKayEeWhy]

What about the poor, poor children that are 'butt-high' tall to the fart snipers? I mention this simply because my kids at 4 or 5 were always the recipients in lines to the fart sniper....EWWW. Poor little fart snipees!!

you should've bonked the mom on the head and said, "it's not my fault. i don't speak spanish."
