My back from WDW rant

[chimo2u]

to the OP, i am right with u on this one! the last couple of times at disney have been less than magical. i have been going since 1978. if someone does somthing rude or out of line i will speak up in a heart beat. unlike alot of others here i will actually do somthing about it as well. i was in the line for the hulk in IOA and a bunch of brazillians kept cutting the line and everyone was looking at each other saying under there breath that they couldnt believe they were doing that. so i attempted to tell a couple of them that cutting the line wasn't allowed. a worker from the hulk told them it wasnt allowed, they kept playing like they didnt speak english. which i know for a fact english is taught and they are all fluient in english. i have been to brazil many many times. so finally i grabbed one by the back of his long pony tail and jerked his head around and screamed NO in his face... they got the point and didnt cut the line again. sometimes u just need to show them u mean business.

i have seen people totally disregard and laugh at cast members because they know good and well they cant do anything. i was on the monorail with my kids and there were some drunk frat guys who were offending EVERYONE and there familys with obcinities and sexual talk. when i got off the monorail i told the cast member and he told them they would have to calm down. the frat guys laughed it off. when me and my kids turned the corner walking towards MK, they were there waiting for me to "teach me a lesson" so i told my GF and kids to stand back the first guy got let me te.. and i dropped him like a sack of potatoes. he was trying to tell his friends to call the cops but we just walked off and watched wishes and enjoyed the best EMH everrrrr!

have a great day

I don't know if I would have gone this far.... you could have been charged with assault putting your hands on someone. I do agree, however that manners seem to have gone by the wayside and it is

I'm not faulting you for what you did but you are playing with fire doing something like that. It doesn't matter how big you are.........the guy could have been nuts, had a knife and not thought twice about using it on you...........same thing with the frat guys. Times have changed, I'm afraid.

I'd rather be in Disney dealing with a couple of rude people than sitting here at home reading about it!

JMHO

Amen!!!!

Lighten up people, your supposed to be on vacation stop worrying about who is going to piss you off next!!!!

Oh, man, I'm at some of the replies in this thread:

Several years ago, DH wanted to have crappy put on a ears hat since that's what his friends call him and they wouldn't put that on the hat. It was just a policy though and we moved on

Our friend Skip here sounds like a regular Chuck Norris! He spends his vacation straightening out ponytailed Brazilians and frat boys.

As much as I detest rudeness, I'm afraid I would not confront someone I perceived as being rude. Nowadays you just don't know what kind of reaction you will get. As a PP said, years ago you might at most get into a minor fist fight. Now, you may get knifed or shot. You just don't know. I just saw on my local news the other day that an 18 year old shot and killed a complete stranger walking down the street because he "didn't like the way the guy looked at him". This happened in a small city too, not a big metropolis. The violence that young people show now to what most would consider minor offenses is truly frightening.

Ooooooooh....I'm SO used to it here.
Why do you think I go to WDW and not US or IOA for vacation!!!

and this isn't the first Chuck Norris-ish story we have heard, unfortunately.

Our trip ended a few weeks ago, but I didn't have any of these experiences. Parks and rooms were clean. Staff went above and beyond every single time. My 9 year old had the most magical birthday week of his young life. It was the best trip yet! When I read posts like this I feel confused. I promise you I come to Disney with HIGH expectations, and I would tell you if they weren't met, so why did the OP have such a different experience than my family did?
Again, I'm not saying the OP is wrong, I'm saying how do we all come back with such hugely different experiences?
