You laugh but it’s 100% true. I think part of the problem is that a lot of guests come from places where they just aren’t used to being pedestrians in a crowded space, dealing with so many other people. As a native NYer I’ve seen this same dumb, selfish, oblivious behavior from tourists here my whole life: large groups of people stopping in the middle of the sidewalk to gawk at guide maps, nowadays people staring into phones instead of watching where they’re walking, etc.
At Disney parks this stuff is compounded by the expense people go to in order to go on the vacation to begin with, with the added pressure they put on themselves to have a Perfect Vacation because of that. People get upset because the most popular tourist destination on earth isn’t empty like on the commercials. They paid so much to be here, after all, so they have a right to act any old way. Never mind that everyone else paid a lot also. I’ve seen on these very boards people justifying the most inconsiderate behavior with “I only care about my family”. It’s sad seeing kids at the parks being taught all the wrong things by parents like this.
