Another wonderful trip. Did notice a few things that if people used a little common sense, would avoid some issues that aggravate.
Scooter etiquette
- Putting two adults on a scooter along with 2-3 kids and driving around a crowded park is not a good or safe idea.
-Allowing young children to sit on your lap and steer the scooter also not a good idea.
-Parking your scooter overnight in the hotel's hallways creates potential hazards if an evacuation is needed. Take it into your room with you or park it downstairs with bell services.
-Leaving 2-3 scooters- with no one at all anywhere around parked lengthwise along the lake front or parade route to hold spaces for an hour or so for your family is rude. Some of us can and will move the unattended scooters and sit down. By the way - this was not in the scooter/wheelchair designated viewing areas so we were not encroaching into those areas.
-Smoking scootees- a scooter is not a free pass releasing you from all rules. If you smoke, scoot to the smoking areas, you don't get to scoot around and smoke as you drive and toss your lit cigarettes away- saw this 4 or 5 times and yes, I am a smoker who smoked in the designated areas.
Cell phones
-Should not need to be said, but using the cell phone on the attractions and in shows is extremely rude.
-Personally think there should be designated cell phone usage areas and ban thme everywhere else in the park!
CS restaurants
-When in line with your party of 4-8 people, the time to ask what does everyone want is BEFORE it is your turn to order.
-Changing dirty diapers in the restaurant at the table is disgusting. Watching you then eat a burger without washing your hands is sickening.
Hats
-When in a show, please remove your cowboy, mickey, goofy, tree hat so those behind you can see.
-By the way, if you choose to plop down in the middle of the row in the show with others coming behind you, yes the rest of us will walk and climb over you.
Smoking areas
-There are many more nonsmoking areas than smoking areas in the parks.
If you ar ea nonsmoker and sit down next to an ashtray surrounded by 6-8 people smoking and start complainig- you just look stupid.
Telling your children that the bad and nasty man is smoking is ignorant.
We smokers smoke in the designated areas and put up and shut up elsewhere. When nonsmokers enter the smoking area it is their turn to put up and shut up or move.

for saying this....but we saw so many people that were just plain obese that just didn't want to walk. They could walk up the stairs to the resturants well enough. They could walk onto the rides well enough. They could ride and smoke very well too. I think Disney will end up having to make rules for the people who use the scooters to excess. The parking of them for instance...there were 50% more this trip than we saw two years ago. Some will run over you. They ride other members of their families on them too. I don't care a bit in the world to move over for the folks that really DO NEED this means of transportation.
When I go I leave the phone in our room and check messages once daily.
Don't you know you can't talk about people and their misuse of scooters around here!
For the record I totally agree with you 
) -back on topic : Its just the whole thing, if you're in an enclosed space and you're around many other people, its just common courtesy to lower your voice.
