HELP Just arrived and so unhappy

[RMulieri]

Wheres the OP? ...anyway I can tell you that some of the chaperones could care less about their groups.I overheard one chaperone during Pop warner tell the group( who got yelled at for cutting the test track line), "Do what you want to do,they can't stop you. it is Disneys job to treat us like royalty that is why our Pop groups pay the big money, we keep disney in buisness"...so so sad

the customer finally complains loud enough and then gets the issue resolved. then the customer is quiet.

I imagine.....

Erin is enjoying some time in the parks and loves SSR (at least in comparision!)

You get what you pay for.
There are some people that complain no matter what.
You can't go to Disney World and expect people to not be people.
For people think that I'm not sympathetic, you're right, I'm not. They're kids and not hurting anything. It's not nice.

I've been waiting for an update too. I hope Erin's vacation is fabulous!! Sorry it got off to a bad start.

In one of the OP's posts she said she had soda dumped on her by one of these kids. That might not kill a person but it could certainly ruin their belongings.

5-6 nights of no sleep is going to have an ill effect on anyones health.

For those who say "just ignore it", you clearly don't know/have never traveled with anyone who is autistic and/or very sensitive to sound. Some people can't "just ignore it". Personally, I'd probably chop off one of my limbs to be as lucky as those people who can just ignore it. Must be nice.

Some sound is one thing. But when ear plugs/white noise don't cover it up, there is a problem.

There's a difference from expecting there to be people and from expecting people not to be rude. I'm sorry but groups outside cheering at the top of their lungs at all hours is rude. Groups trashing a food court is rude. Groups cutting in line while their chaperones do nothing is rude.

Now my girls are involved in Twirlmania but in our group the parents go with the kids and we don't all stay at the same resort. In face we stayed at the GF and there weren't any other twirlers from our group there. I would never allow my girls to bother other guests and I expect the same from other groups.

So Sorry.. but when you watch a gaggle of cheerleaders plow thru a line and knock your child on the ground and then laugh about it and the chaperone does nothing..I am going to be upset, and what I pay to go to Disney has NO bearing on poorly behaved out of control groups of unsupervised kids and their equally behaved chaperones.

 

[swald91]

Smart choice to stay at GF instead of the more crowded resorts.
Hope your kids did well there.

Elitist Attitude much? I thought the lower cost was smaller room, father from the parks, not so nice beds, no fridge. I did not realize that the smaller price meant no holds bar behavior.

Very true, but I do not see how that is relevant here. Someone is complaining about behavior that is not what should be expected at any resort.

You can't go to Disney World and expect people to not be people.

True people will be people, however it is reasonable to expect some level of respect for others.

They're kids and not hurting anything. It's not nice.
That is the attitude that leads to adults who have absolutely no respect for rules and other people.

So after that said if this happened at the Poly CL would it bother you, or would you just say it is kids being kids?

And I bet if you paid what you pay to stay deluxe, and there were loud screaming cheerleaders praticing out side your room at midnight, you would be upset. Yes, you shouldn't expect for a hotel to be 100% quiet, but you should expect it to be clean, and for loud obnoxious guest to be handled. If they are being loud at 8 pm, well then I would say sorry, but late at night is when it is not okay. No matter what you paid.

Hi:

I have been reading the posts and wondering how all this ended for the family.

Anyone know?

Deb.

And another question for swald91, in my case, the obnoxious behavior was coming from adults at a moderate. Should people expect adults to be loud and obnoxious? Should people not be able to expect any peace and quiet unless they pay for a 3 bedroom villa?

In our week, we had no issues with loud children whatsoever. It's not a matter of kids being kids. It's about people acting with some level of decency when they are in a shared space with other human beings.

That is the funniest thing I've read on the DIS in quite awhile!
Smart woman. It's good that you listen to her.

Three cheers for that! (Pun intended) sorry I couldn't help it....

Nope. They would be raising all holy he-double hockey sticks.

And it didn't quote, but regarding how it's that attitude that leads to entitled adults, AMEN! And for further evidence see the thread about the ADULT knocking people over at the fast pass area to get to his group. Entitled something like "So that makes it all ok..."

In my experience, most (not ALL...and I am only speaking from my experience), cheerleaders tend to feel entitled enough without indulgences like "Oh, they're kids. Let them do what they want."

I went on several band trips and youth group trips during middle school and high school, and we had the fear of god put into us about behavior. First offense (assuming it wasn't major) and you spent the next day with a chaperone. Second (or serious first) offense and you were on a bus or plane back home AT YOUR PARENTS EXPENSE. I also led youth groups on trips, and it was the same thing. There were meetings with parents. There were behavior contracts signed by youth and their parents. And everyone knew that it was serious.

The sad thing with these cheerleaders is that too often (again, not all the time, but a lot...and there are examples on these threads of it...like the cheer dad who was pissed that they wasted time and money to come in third) the coaches and parents don't care as long as the little darlings win. It's disgusting. And people think the creators of "Glee" are exaggerating with their cheerleading coach. Sadly, from what I've seen, they're being kind. Whatever happened to "It's just a game" and just wanting kids to be the best they can for that day?

Ok...hubby's said he's done-we feel a bit different about this!!!! I say that they should behave-he says kids will be kids...opposites attract-I love him but don't always agree with him!!
As far as the comment on you pay for what you get-been there done that-maybe not as far as Disney resorts go, but close enough. We have been fortunate enough to not run into any loud issues anywhere we've stayed-but I did have a nice chat with someone that had a domestic issue at the Poly & needed to call security. There are issues in all the resorts-never hear about large cheering or other groups staying at deluxes so if I know they will be there & that's the only time I can go I will shorten my trip & stay where they are not. I will sign my name too-MISSY!
