New Post Concerning Gd's

[CDizney]

I have gone to WDW a few years when this Festival is in town and each trip had its ups and downs. I have experienced pushing, filthy language, and provocative requests from those festival atendees and my husband and I refuse to visit Disney again during the first week in June. Not to say the whole trip was ruined but a good portion of our trip was circled around where to go when they are not and how to camly deal with what I mentioned above.
I'm in no way stating that this is everyone's experience and that I have anything against any person visiting but I certainly have not experienced this type of behaviour on any of the 20+ WDW trips in the past eight years only when the Festival is in town. I spend good money as most folks do to come down and visit WDW and refuse to have anything else but a good time that I control.

refuse to have anything else but a good time that I control.

Well, good luck with that, but unless you plan on buying the parks out while you are there, you are likely to encounter other people whom you cannot control.

I guess we have had totally different experiences with GD's then. I have been for the past two years. Both time unintentionally. However, I have had a wonderful time both trips. Last year we happened to be at Magic Kingdom the same day thier group was there. We have never seen any inappropriate behavior, at least not anything that we haven't seen from straight people on other trips. They were all very nice to myself, my husband, and our kids. At one point in time an idiot with a stroller cut in front of me and before I could stop it I had stepped on the wheel of the stroller and fell. A group full of the GD's crowd stopped and helped me up and made sure I was ok, all before my husband could even get to me. I have no problem whatsoever going during GD's again. We have had a wonderful time every trip.

CZDisney,

I took the time and searched for your the original post you are talking about. I completely agree with you. This is America and you are free to say whatever you want... Problem is by saying, what you have said, here and there, you sound very ignorant. I am not trying to insult you because, you are right, everyone is entitled to their own views. Clearly you believe homosexuals are inappropriate, lewd, and horny people that need to fornicate in front of everyone. And I believe by posting your views you have turned 50% of the members of DISboards to know longer value your posts. If you haven't noticed these message boards are supposed to be a friendly atmosphere where everyone can discuss "Walt Disney World" & "Disneyland" not discussing a group of people. I would like you to consider if someone made a post stating

I met someone from _______ (where ever it is that you are from) and He was really smelly. Like he hadn't taken a bath in weeks. No one should ever talk to people from ____________

 

[CDizney]

I'm so happy to hear andromedaslove that your trips were great. I also have to say that I certainly ran into some very nice GD folks that we simply lovely. It sounds that you ran into so very nice folks also.

But the majority of the ones I happened to encounter on two seperate trips were as I described earlier. People are always people and I've encountered bad amoungst the good in all situations and I'm the "laugh it off" type person. But to me and what I encountered seemed to be a fairly constant bombardment. I told my husband on one of these trips "what do I have, a sign on me that says harrass?".....
We laughed it off but it put that strip of tension on our trip that was something I haven't encountered on any others. I know 2 of my trips could have been just oddballs due to my bad luck but I figure to stay away during that time from now on. I certainly wouldn't want to discourage any from staying away but wanted to share my personal experiences for name sake.

We have been to DisneyWorld many times during Gay Days and have had nothing but fun as always. We also have not seen any behavior that is not exhibited by "straight" couples. On the contrary, we believe that the majority of of Gay Days participants are very nice, kind and fun loving people, as we are, but just as with those of us who are "straight" there are always a few bad apples. I would never hesitate to go to DisneyWorld during Gay Days.

 

[MainStreetFan]

I would take the GD crowd over the Brazil Tour Group crowd any day, any time!!! If you want undisney like behavior, rude and obnoxious - they are the ones to look for.

 

[penjen]

I would like to also say that we went last year during the first week of June. We had a great time! We even stayed at a gd's hotel. I would go to Disney ANY TIME

 

[Feralpeg]

I've been to WDW several times during Gay Days. No, I do not go to MK on the day scheduled for the big meet. This is not because I have a problem with the event, it is because I believe it would be too crowded. In the other parks, the most lewd behavior I've ever seen is two people holding hands. Not a problem for me. I also do not visit PI during this time. I rarely go to PI anyway.

I'm not saying this to give the OP a hard time, but could it be that the reaction you received was because of the vibes you were putting out? If not, I apologize. I have never experienced any problems during Gay Days that I don't see any other time of the year from the general masses visiting the parks. I'd really hate for someone planning a trip to get the impression that horrible things are going to happen if they should schedule their trip during Gay Days. Most of us have no problems with the event.

 

[In a hurry]

Here is a NEW post concerning Gay Days that I was so emphatically told by Lindsay Dunn 228 that had to be on it's own separate posting since it didn't meet the answer of the original poster. Happy now "Miss Know-it-all and "I control the world" LindayDunn228?

Wow. If your idea of polite is in any way similar to your above statement... then I think meds might be in order. To pick on a group for poor behavior and show yourself like this here, amazes me.

 

[tinkerbell6]

my husband and I refuse to visit Disney again during the first week in June.

Sorry you had a bad experience, and you're probably right not to go at that time if it was that upsetting for you. You do have 51 other weeks to choose from.

We try to avoid any "event" times (holidays, conferences, etc. of all kinds) so we don't have to deal with huge crowds.

 

[noladave]

If you want to talk about rude, selfish, bratty behavior, then we all know who and what to stay away from - TEENAGERS!

My one and only really bad experience at Disney was the week we spent at ALL STARS during a cheerleader or dance competition. Food courts were loud, obnoxious pain-in-the-you-know-what events, constant screaming, running up and down the outside "halls" all night long, and staying in the pool until way to late...

unfortunately, in about 9 months, my son becomes one of those grouchy. self absorbed, know-it-alls!

 

[firefly72]

CZDisney...I just thought you might want to re-read this. You wrote this to someone stereotyping Irish people...perhaps if you read it now you will see that you are doing the same thing:

I'm sorry but after reading your story of how taking a chair without asking ruined your evening, it sounds too dramatic for me. And to say that you didn't know Irish people were rude, well that is plain silly. This WORLD is full of rude people and it doesn't matter where they come from.

If you said he took the chair of one of your table guests say while they were away for a moment I would have been po'ed.

However, to each his own and we all have to realize that each human being has a boiling point and if taking a chair without asking is yours then so be it......it is not for me to judge or put down.

I don't appreciate rude behavior either, trust me. But remember, this world is filled with impolite folks, period. Don't let them get to you.

or the Pampered Chef people, I wanted to kill several of them.

We've been during GD all three time's we've gone to WDW. We've never had a problem and I hate to group people together - but those are some of the nicest people. We were floating down the lazy river and our middle child got way ahead. Some slowed her down, others let me catch up. It was so thoughtful. And that is something you don't always see from anyone - gay or straight.

 

[CDizney]

All I can say is I'm amazed. My original posting was a simple polite posting to share with others what I experienced. Being rudely told that my input wasn't needed by LindayDunn 228 was rude. I've met great people here at this site and I'm sorry if I lost my temper. That was not a great way to react I admit but I would never tell anyone that there post wasn't welcome...it's not my website. I say be friendly act friendly but if your rude, rude will be returned.

I have no phobia of anyone. I have several gay/lesbian neighbors and co-workers that I cherish. If I was that phobic why would I attend not only once but twice? I do not like, however, being touched and harrassed. Rude has nothing to do with it. To heck with rude, you'll see that no matter where you go in this world. But to "Firefly 72", I do think having a chair pulled out from under someone ruining your evening is not great but dramatic. Being pushed into a pool by a GD member is not acceptable. Are you saying that I shouldn't be mad about that? However, NEVER DID I SAY ANYWHERE NOT TO GO, OR DON'T TALK TO THE GD PEOPLE, ETC? AND NEVER DID I SAY "2XITED4DISNEY" THAT I THINK GD PEOPLE ARE INAPPROPRIATE, LEWD, HORNY PEOPLE. I just spoke about what experiences I had, period. Would saying I think your a racist be point-in-fact? Why would I say that to you? Dunno, that's how I interpreted your post. Sound crazy, of course it does.....I don't like words put in my mouth but this is America and you can say/interpret what you like.

To those who say my ORIGINAL post was rude and arrogant well you sound like a highly offendable person to me yourself.

I am really hoping that the mods DELETE this NOW!!!

To the OP, Since you felt the need to start the thread with a personal attack you lost all crediblity with sentence number ONE.

The main thing I always get from threads like this is AMAZEMENT at the level of "prejudice" that still exists.

There were a lot of the Brazil groups at WDW a week ago. I have never in my life seen so many beautiful people in one place. Chick or Dude, they were just plain Hotties.
