Pet peeves I saw today at Magic Kingdom

[VacationDad]

1. Why do you think it is ok to just stop in the middle of a moving crowd of 1000 people?

2. Can you not put your cellphone down for 2 minutes and actually act like you enjoy taking your daughter on Dumbo?

3. Did you think the "Smoke Only in Designated Areas" rule doesn't apply to you?

4. Could you please figure out what tickets you want to purchase before going up to the counter...in front of me?

5. Monorail or Ferry? Doesn't matter, whichever one I take will break down.


Sorry, just thought I would get that off my chest. Besides all that, I really did have a Magical Day.

 

[ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

Agree on 1 and 3.
Disagree with 4 and 5.
2 is just sad.

 

[G's mommy]

Just back from Universal and let me add to your list:

1. People who feel the line doesn't apply to them

2. People (men, women and teens) who feel the need to wear bathing suits to the park no matter how they look in them. YIKES!

3. Parents who drag their crying terrified small children onto rides

 

[birdiesunshine]

How about the people who stand in line for 30 minutes waiting to order food then when they speak to the order taker they have know idea what they want!!!!!

 

[birdiesunshine]

forgot to mention this..... there is usually on 4 or 5 things on the menu

Yeah, 5 was just me complaining because the last two times I've been the monorail broke down delaying us from getting to MK at opening. I just assume with my luck that the ferry would sink if I chose that method to get to MK.

Parents that let their 4 year old push the infant stroller right into the back of your legs then smile at you thinking how cute their 4 year old is.

I noticed more people smoking at MGM on Sunday 2-19 than anywhere else in WDW! It seemed everywhere we walked we were behind cigarette smoke. We were behind some at EPCOT on monday but not as much as MGM. None earlier in the week though.

 

[hockey mom]

Agree with everything except #5.

Mine is when half of a group feels they are in a shorter line up so they feel the need to SCREAM to the other half to join them.

Okay I agree with all of them -- but I would put #3 at the top. To look at me you would not know that I have only one lung and even the smell of smoke makes me ill let alone second hand smoke. I never once smoked and if you chose to do so at your own risk but please don't out the rest of at risk as well!!!!

Okay sorry had to get it out!

Oh! This one kills me too! I hate when people dead stop in the middle of a walk way or the middle of the main aisle in one of the shops! And then the best part is that after they stop with no warning, they give you a dirty look for bumping into them!

Or how about the people who stand in line for 30 minutes waiting to order food then when they speak to the order taker they have know idea what they want!!!!!

And these are the same people, who after standing there for 30 minutes and waiting to decide what they want until they get up to the cashier, who also don't seem to realize until said cashier gives them their total...that they have to PAY for what they ordered, so then they proceed to dig through their pockets, purse or fanny pack or have to call their spouse over from the other side of the restaurant for some cash!

That is a classic.....usually that happens to me each and every time I go to the local mall....Yes, it has happened to me at Disney, but somehow it doesn't bother me as much as when it happens at home

 

[eeyoregirl]

I have two words for people:

USE DEODORANT!

Thank you.

 

[birdiesunshine]

Sorry but here is another. The group of people at least five walking toward you holding hands like a brick wall. What are they thinking. How about single file or maybe two side by side but 5 c'mon now!!!Then you walk and break up thier wall, because there is no where for you to go, and they give you the dirty look.

People who wear sandals and take them off only to put there bare feet on the seat in front of them. Hey I may be sitting there some day. Or they play with their feet. I've seen this at Country bears and Philharmagic many times

Even when my kids were little I didn't see anything cute about them bothering other people. We didn't let them run in crowds or restaurants or, my special favorite, swing things around in the air practically hitting everyone nearby. It really scares me when I have to dodge flying toys/chains/candy/purses , etc and the parent pretends not to notice. FYI to all of you parents who do this: We all know that you notice it and that you are allowing them to be rude! Seriously no parent can really think it's cute, can they?

 

[Perdie]

The worst is Fastpass, no matter what, there is ALWAYS a group of clueless people grouped up in front of the line, not understanding what to do...or waiting there until there time is ready! And i agree with the smoker thing-i always state very loudly... "Not a designated smoking area!!!"

 

[dixipixi]

Foulmouthed people. We've noticed this more and more on our last few trips. They just don't know the mistake they make when they choose to do this within earshot of DH. He WILL embarass them if they use foul language around us.

BTW, I don't mean normal cursing/ swearing. That doesn't bother us at all. I'm talking extremely vulgar and nasty stuff here. It's usually teens / college aged kids without parental supervision (guess they think it makes them look big or something ).

There's just no need for a filthy mouth when you're around little kids.

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

how about when you're waiting in line for 25 minutes to just get a drink and some jerk doesn't feel like waiting in line and is all "yo! yo! yo will you ba me somethin!?" and when some idiot actually DOES it for him he buys 3 different meals!!

 

[pawsitivemom]

I was so annoyed with people on their phones when I was there. I couldn't believe that someone would bring their child to "the most magical place on earth" and then talk the whole time on their phones!

I have to question why these people had children in the first place.

(I even saw one dad get OUT of line for an attraction to talk on the phone...leaving his wife and daughter in line.)
