fights in the world

[dancergirl9589]

has anyone ever had a fight or confrontation with a another guest or a cm while in the world?

 

[bdcp]

Nope, we haven't, but you can be sure someone has. Some people live for confrontation and others live to complain.

Came close to "losing it" last week. After entering the fastpast return line for Splash Mountain, an announcment was made that the ride was broken and there was no estimate for when the ride would re-open. My 2 daughters (11 & 9) and son (4) decided to exit the ride and try again later. Much to our delight, one of the infamous tour groups had also entered the fastpass lane. There had to be over 100 kids, some were standing, some were sitting on the rails with their legs extended across the aisle. At first, we tried to be nice and we said "excuse me" & "pardon us" but it didn't matter. None of them moved an inch. It took forever to get back out. The whole way out, various members of the tour group took great pleasure in touching and stroking my kids hair. It took everything I had for me not to say anything to these kids. That was the most upset I've gotten.

ughhh stitch. I totally feel your pain. My daughter is Mexican but has blue eyes and beautiful blonde curls. (she is white like me LOL but travels with dh, and our sons who are all dark skinned) Anyways, people always touch her friggen hair. I just want to slap em. I mean, I have NO idea where your hands have been! You dont just touch my child! Oh and when people are being blatanly and obviously rude by not moving when you ask politely a few times, Ive learned that the stroller *can* roll over feet LMAO.. I mean, its mean and all but it should take me 2 hrs to walk 10 feet. (and for the flame throwers - I dont mean people who dont understand that Im asking them to move. I mean people who are just too dang lazy to pull their feet in after being asked to move for a second so I can get through them)

On my trip last year, me and my g/f got in a pretty big argument at MGM, or no Hollywood studios?? At the end it was pretty funny. She wanted to go to the little mermaid show, which I did not want to go to at all, so I got forced into going that because of the argument. While being there we were still angry at each other, and I was stuck sitting through that. I'm sure everyones had a moment similar to that!

I finally gave in and went on that attraction. I actually liked it, particularly the wave effects. I wish they did more of that.

4th of July week we saw two men fighting. People were walking after the fireworks and one guy was yelling at the other not to walk near his kids or he would punch his lights out. Second guy says "I'm just walking throught the crowd, take it easy!". First guy is still yelling when we left. His kids were all teens. I mean, come on. A little overboard, especially in a 4th of July crowd. Like you can move around after the fireworks without touching other people! Sorry to see this when everyone could be thankful to be in the MK and enjoying the evening. And after watching such an awsome fireworks show. Makes you wonder sometimes.

A couple of years ago I had a really weird altercation with a young woman just as we were trying to get on the Dinosaur ride at AK. As soon as the preshow was over, there was a young couple, then me and my mom, then another young couple walking down the steps. Just as we got to the bottom of the steps the young lady behind us started complaining that I had stepped on the flip flops of the young lady in front of me and that I was rude. I too was wearing flip flops and never felt it. I immediately apologized to the young lady in front of me. She gave the other girl a strange look and said, "you didn't, or if you did, I didn't feel it". I told her I hadn't felt it either. The second lady just wouldn't let it go. She just kept insisting that I had stepped on the other lady's flip flop. She was really obssessed with it. Finally the first lady told the other lady to back off, because I hadn't touched her. After the ride, the second lady continued to argue and harrass me, and I finally told her to shut up or I was calling a cast member to handle it. The lady whose shoe I had supposedly stepped on, said yeah and she'd join me. That lady was really nuts.

Unfortunately Yes.

A few years ago, we were waiting for the parade and my DD was holding onto my sons stroller. DD was about 15-16 at the time. Another family (with 2 little kids) came and physically pushed her. They even knocked the stroller over! (I had ds in my arms thank goodness) They started SCREAMING at DD. Now I'm not lightweight but this woman was VERY large. She began to "bump" her back into the crowd with her chest, yelling and screaming racial slurs the entire time.

DD starts to cry and my dh just went a "tad" nuts I tried to find a cm- nowhere to be found- the group of guests around saw the entire episode and stuck up for DD .

After all was said and done- the family backed off after seeing the other guests get involved.

It was really very upsetting and the language was totally unacceptable. I couldnt believe it!

They ended up being a bit behind us for the parade. DD was very shaken- I was livid- BUT dd didn't want it to end like that so she asked the 2 little kids that were with the "meanie" family if they would like to squish in front of us to view the parade.

I was sitting for the Dreams Come True Parade and a lady in front of me had 2 of those big balloons that were flying all over the place. People behind and around me were getting annoyed as it blocked the view of the parade and photo taking too. I politely asked her if she could keep the balloons tied down so we would be able to see - she totally ignored me.
I thought it was very rude and it is a shame that people do not have common courtesy. Needless to say, in most of my parade photos - there are 2 big character balloons blocking the float photos.
I think someone should start a thread called, "pet peeves at WDW."

I've never been in an altercation, but DH almost intervened in one at DS earlier this year. A man and woman were with a young child and for some unknown reason he started yelling at her and just berating her, saying things like "What the hell is wrong with you", over and over. Within a minute or so he was just screaming at her. It was so shocking and we felt terrible for her and the child. DH was afraid at a point that the man was going to hit the woman and started to walk back to intervene (I don't think he really knew what he would do if he got there, but it was getting scary). She finally walked away from him with the boy. We just couldn't figure out what could have made someone so mad. He was obviously unbalanced. It was tough to explain to our DS (9 at the time) what had happened. DS wondered later in the day if they were okay. We hoped there weren't repercussions from the man later on.

Yeah, in the parking lot of the Beach Club. My husband and I came out from eating dinner and there was a car blocking my from backing up my car. Another car was a few space down with a flat tire so I assumed the person in the car behind me was helping the other one change the flat. We stood outside the car for a few minutes until the dork finally realized (he was looking straight at us) that we wanted to leave. He moved his car. Just so I could back up straight but couldn't turn. I waited some more, getting quite peeved by now. I finally had to get out of the car and ask him to move more. He did by a few inches. I still couldn't turn correctly and in the process hit his car (not hard, I was in a parking lot trying to get out of a space). The guy went nuts!!!!!!!! Threatened to call the police, to see me in jail, blah, blah, blah. By this time, I was out of the parking space and told him to go ahead and call the police. I'd wait right there until they came.

He drove off. Turns out he wasn't even helping the other guy at all!

I've seen other disagreements and had a few of my own with my family but down right fights and threats, that was the only one.

I hate to say it but I was in an argument outside EPCOT one evening in 2000.

I had shown my sister and brother in law around FW for a little while in the morning. Then I said I would meet up with them later as I didn't get to see any of the WS on my previous trip and really wanted to see the different countries. Well they decided that they weren't going to let me go off by myself. So we wandered around WS and all I heard was complaints over and over again about how boring it was. I mentioned how we could meet up later at a certain spot, again no - they had to stay with me. By the end of the evening I had had it! I couldn't handle another minute of their complaints! I was older than both of them, it's not like I'm not resposible, etc.

I rairly get mad, but when I do-look out!

Sorry if you witnessed the incident, but I could only handle so much negativity while at the happiest place on earth.

how rude. after asking once or twice, the sharpest thing I had would have to come out to pop those balloons.

Do you make rude folks a part of your touring plans.Is it interesting to dwell on a very small group of people.WDW is just like everywhere you go in this world ,yes you have fights and rude people.This thread does not violate any posting guidelines yet but aren't you more interested on all the magic and good things about WDW and advice on how to have a great experience at WDW than chat on something that is not going to help you one bit in planning your WDW experience.

I thought dh was about to clock a guy in the DHS parking lot a month or so ago. We had left around 2pm and I was just about to put my 3mo old in her carseat. My oldest was behind the car and my middle ds was sleeping in the stroller which was parked behind the car. Thankfully I was still holding the baby bc this guy BACKING (yes, he was going the wrong way) in to the parking spot hit our car not once, but twice!

When it happened the first time, I had no idea what had happened. Dh went up to this guy's car and was yelling at him. Then he hit us again and dh went ballistic. Apparently his foot slipped off the brake and he hit us and when everyone in his car yelled at him, he said he got nervous and did it again. Oy. He was very apologetic and there was no damage to my car. His passengers were even apologizing. In the end, he and dh shook hands but I think my nerves were shot!

I have seen a fight every day I have ever been at the world.














My 2 DSs fight every day --not very physically usually, but they usually fight over something stupid everyday.

Yes, well...sometimes talking about only happy things gets kinda boring. Gotta spice it up a little.
