Parade Crashers & Line Cutters

[Sparkled]

Looks like we have a Parade Crasher and Line Cutter!





OOOOH! and a LIAR!!!!!!!!

 

[minnie411]

FAT is EXACTLY what you called her. Don't try to belittle my comments by lying. Anybody can read your post and see that you are lying anyway. And, you didn't tell her to move her butt, hence the a** in your original quote!! Which IS against board policy in the first place. You must feel it is a curse word yourself, if you knew better than not to type it. Don't you ever call me a liar!!! If you and your bitter sisters don't like what I am posting, then hit the ignore and move on. I can post whatever I want whether you like it or not!!!

WOW!

Frankly I think the situation is what you make of it. There are soooo many spots in MK and the other parks for that matter that are very uncrowded and I always make a point to see the parades from those vantage points. You can see the SAME floats and characters without being smack dab in front of the castle or on a specific brick of main street. There's no need to sit and sit and sit for an hour and a half.

We always bring glow sticks for the children around us and the magic becomes contageous. Everyone around you begins to be more courteous. You're ALWAYS going to encounter people who are oblivious to others. It's all in how you deal with them!

First of all to the poster who said that someone sat in front of them waiting for a parade and they immediately told them to "move their a**** "......What kind of a reaction are you expecting? Doesn't sound like you have any more Disney spirit than the person cutting in front of you. ...And, I can guarantee if you approached me with that kind of immediate hostility and language in front of my children, we are going to have bigger problems on our hands than your not being able to see the parade...

Well, all I can say is that I'm certain the person didn't sit down on purpose on top of your children. YOU made a judgemental and disparaging comment about her weight in your post. And, by the way, it is spelled butt not but...if you must use such a crass term, anyways. Your argument has made no change in my opinion of your reaction. It was hostile and you were assuming nothing but the worst intentions of the person before even giving them a chance. Now that is what is judgemental. Maybe, just maybe, you are as rude as the line cutters by jumping all over a person who innocently makes a mistake. Whether it was or wasn't in this case, isn't the point. The point is that you immediately assumed that it wasn't an innocent mistake and assumed the worst in the person BEFORE politely letting her know that she was too close. Some people walk through life as victims, protecting themselves like everyone is out to get them!!! I sure hope I never accidentally sit on your child's big toe, you sound like you are threatening to beat me up for such an offense!!

...I DO feel that using using foul language in front of my kids, as well as her own over that situation is undisneylike and not what I would expect to hear while I'm there. I not only could have handled that situation in a more civilized way, but I'll bet your Disney Dollars that I would have gotten the result I was looking for a lot quicker than she did with her outrageous, and scary (to her own children) outburst.

...I would love to take these posters at there word, however when the complaintive poster themselves has a negative attitude, uses nasty, judgemental remarks, and foul language, I believe they are weakening their own testimony of OTHERS being rude. Maybe they should look in a mirror. I always thought Disney lovers were happy people, but after lurking on the disboards for some time, I see that is not always necessarily the case.

Hey, if you agree with an over the top, angry tyrade with foul language around your children, then I'm more than happy to be in the minority. I think you need to reread the poster's original post. The person she insulted did NOT sit on her children. As she describes it, they were IN their strollers, so she most likely was sitting on their feet and due to her excess weight, probably couldn't even feel that she was sitting on them. It was an exagerated reaction to feeling slighted by someone after waiting for the parade and she is obviously using her children being possibly "hurt" as an excuse for HER rude behavior. Two wrongs don't make a right!! And, if you feel they do, then as I said, I'm glad to be in the minority.

Not to mention, the poster stated that she felt the woman sitting on a body part of her child was the same as if the woman intentionally struck her children. Hmm? I'm failing to see that logic. She verbally accosted the woman based on THAT logic.....that she INTENTIONALLY came to Disneyworld that day and said I'm going to crush a small child with my enormous bottom!! That's too rich!

This argument is beginning to take on a life of its own with everyone slowly chiming into defend this exagerated response. Soon, the story will not only be that the lady sat on top of her children's legs while they were in their stroller.....but that she then grew horns and tale and vowed to make their day at Disney a living nightmare!!!!!!

My GOD you really seem to have it in for kaysmommie! And all because she was pissed that someone SAT ON HER KIDS? If anyone is "exaggerating" and being "hypocritical" here it is you. Your posts are the ones laced with hyperbolic tendencies, not hers.

By pointing out an incorrectly spelled word, you don't really look smarter...you just look petty.

And just because you put a little " " after something you typed does not make it funny.

I just came home from WDW last night. I have been semi-lurking on these boards for about six months and was starting to get really scared (line cutters, rude people, crowds, etc.). However, I have to say, I did not encounter all the stuff people were describing. Yes, some bad manners but not anymore than in daily life (I live in MA). The crowds were bad at times but still managable. We arrived on March 7. Until Sunday, I didn't think they were that bad.

I am not saying that people are exagerrating, but I really didn't find things as bad as what was described (maybe we just got lucky).

I don't care what others do. I do what I feel is right and that is all that matters.

Thank You, that is hilarious!!!!!!!!! I'm rolling on the floor.

We always have people go in front of us in line at amusement parks and it happened a lot in Disney World. They "say" they have to meet their mother, father, sister, brother, friend, neighbor, someone that looks like someone they know, etc." who is already in line. I don't mind if it's one or two people, but when a group of 5 or 6 needs to get past to "catch up" to someone, it is very annoying indeed!

 

[meekymouse]

That's what I hate. We also get the people who have one person standing in line for them, and then their "group" of ten comes and joins them and cuts the whole line. Maybe if you have like a DD or DS who has to go to the bathroom, but ten people, come on!

 

[englishrose47]

We plan on getting to all parades early with 1 exception MGM Due to ADR for late breakfast we can only see Lights at 2pm and will have to rush to the parade. I.m hoping we can find a little space to see as DGS loves Power Rangers. I would never stand in front of seated people that is sorude!!

I have a similar story. However it was on our Disney Cruise. Not so much about cutting or blocking a view, but more of an attitude and deff. not child friendly folks.... and after all we were on a DISNEY cruise, not The Sexy Senior Citizenn with No Kids Allowed cruise... anyway... We were at one of the "Plays" on one of the nights. The Peter Pan one. Anywho, DH and I settled in the back with our 2 boys.

As usual we were running late and got there after the intro had begun... no worries we ould just slip into the few seats in the back at the top. And we certainly weren't the last ones coming in my any means.... Any anyone with kids know that they just cannot sit completely still and silent. It just doesnt happen. So there was a couple in fron of us who were childless and w/o kids. Everytime a child in the audiance would squirm or make a peep, they would stare, shake their heads and snicker something to one another. Yes, there was a group behind us to our left whos kids were a little lounder than I would have wanted my kids to be, but if those guys paid more attention to the show than shaking their heads it would have been more fun for everyone. I think they even siad somehting to us.

I can't remember it all right now and am glad. I far rather enjoy having fun, positive memories than dwelling on BS like that. Normally we just let stuff roll off our backs... But boy at the time we were ripped! I think that is the only time Dh and I have ever raised our voices to strangers or said not so nice words at Disney. But there is a first time for everthing. But like I said at the top, after all we were on a DISNEY cruise, not The Sexy Senior Citizen with No Kids Allowed cruise...

The problem with pointing out spelling or grammar errors in an online argument is that you have to be very careful of your own spelling going forward. As I will from now on, because a "tale" is a story. I think you were looking for "tail".

Now THAT is funny!

Thanks for pointing that out. She thinks she is so smart but obviously that is not the case . She is the most unDisney like person I ever met on these boards.

Kaysmommie, we had the exact same experience while waiting to watch Spectromagic on our last trip - my son was sat on by an adult trying to squeeze in front of my son a couple of minutes before the parade started. Thanks for sharing your experience. And I totally appreciate the descriptive commentary - you made me laugh. I am glad that I read this thread - next time I encounter a line cutter etc I will remember that it does not only happen to me It seems to me that folks who are so uncourteous as to push in/line cut, are not going to respond to any kind of approach - nice or otherwise.

 

[DaisyD]

But people should NOT be sitting on the curb -- it isn't safe to sit on the curb while a parade is rolling, and WDW should be making those people stand up for safety reasons.

I'm a parade veteran from way back; since childhood I've marched or ridden in hundreds of parades in major cities. Not only is there a possibility of danger coming from the floats and units, but crowds focused on what they are watching are unstable and likely to surge forward in excitement. The fact is that sitting on the ground right behind the barrier is an unsafe position.

Many people here will consider this a flame, but here's the truth: if I see someone sitting on the curb or the ground directly next to the parade barrier, I think that that person is foolish and just ASKING to be stepped on, and while I'll do my best to avoid stepping on them, I won't feel terribly sorry for them when it happens, as it almost inevitably will.

And you won't mind when I accidently spill my large drink all over the foot that is stepping on me. Sorry, but if someone steps on me, they won't be using that foot to get out of the park that evening.

Sorry that happened to your son too. that is awful to encounter people like this but I guess it's pretty common unfortunately. The line cutters annoy me but usually I can't be bothered saying anything to them as it usually does no good anyway. If they are caught by a CM they take care of it most of the time. I love the parades or I would skip them because of the hassle of waiting over and hour and then having to deal with rude people . That part is not fun at all.

[neverland mom]

Kaysmommie you were totally in the right for what you said to the lady that sat on your kids. If it would have been my son I would have done the same thing. We are going to DW in 6 days and I just hope that we can see the parades without too many problems with rude people. And those people who say that DW is for kids are crazy, I sobbed when I made my resort ressies and sobbed when I made my ADR's. I have my 5 yr old DS telling me I can make it 6 more days just try not to think about it.

For parades, I get there early enough to spread out extra wide. I know we will be squeezed together the closer it gets to the start of the parade. It gives us breathing room. Kinda reminds me of Easter Sunday mass: We got there early enough to sit in our normal pew. I told my husband we weren't "scooting down" for no one. Ya'll know what I'm talking about.
