pet peeves

[Trap]

When we travel to WDW, most things including rude people do not bother me because what goes around comes around. I do have one pet peeve and it has to do with lines. If you are standing in line to go on a ride, some people are so wrapped up in their phone or something else and they do not pay attention. The second one if you are in a qs line for about 20 minutes and can see the menu, when it is time to order folks ask for items that are not on the menu or have not decided on what they want to order. What do you have for pet peeves at WDW?

Same as you. Put the phone away while in the queues. And know what you want to order before you get to the cashier.

Oh - same thing as phone people. Please don't be walking in the middle of a walkway and on your phone (looking or talking) and then suddenly stop in the middle of the walkway. If you are having such an important "conversation", move over to the side. Yes, I have had to make calls or texts at Disney World but when I do, I go over to the side, stop, text or call, complete whatever I need to do, and then move on. And I have received calls or texts while at Disney World and when that happens, I know something has happened that *I* need to attend to. I move over to the side and see what has happened.

I don't like someone in my personal space. I know Disney is crowded but I feel no one should be so close to me that I can feel their breath on my neck or they're touching a part of my body every time they move. It makes me anxious & Mad. And another is undisciplined children. Yes it's Disney, yes kids get tired, but its still a parent's responsibility to discipline their children when necessary.

-Having family members join you in a queue after you've been waiting. An emergency bathroom break is fine, but whoever is riding needs to all wait in line. Not cut through the line when their party is near the front

-people with strollers feeling like they have the right of way at all times and everyone should move for them

-people not realizing that rides like Pirates and the Safari have queues that they want you to fill in all available space..then get made when their standing single file and get passed by

-kids tormenting the ducks and other animals

-group of people walking all next to each other very slowly and blocking walkways

-kids tormenting the ducks and other animals

I hold my tongue a lot when it comes to other people's children, but I won't tolerate animal abuse. The kids are told sternly to knock it off, and I've never had a parent challenge me yet.

There's a sad story of a young boy, about three or four, who used a pirate sword to beat a baby duck to death at the MK. Everyone stood by and watched it happen, even the parents.

-kids tormenting the ducks and other animals

Yes.

We witnessed a ghastly incident involving a 2 year old who suddenly, quickly, and without warning ended the life of a lizard that he had been watching joyfully. I don't trust anyone watching lizards now.



As for people stopping in pathways or ride lines, I don't care what the cause is, I just don't want it happening. I'm just as irked when it happens if they are talking to the people around them or if they are talking to people on the phone. Changes my world in the same way.

Especially irritating when it's my husband doing it. He's not a small guy and it has an impact.

People who are neglectful with their giant strollers. I had just walked into the park with my family last trip and was not even 1/3 down Main St when the man behind me was in SUCH a hurry with his EMPTY stroller that he bumped me once on the heel.. I turned..he whispered "sorry"...moments later he rammed me so hard I fell down and started bleeding. He again barely whispered "oh sorry" and ran away. Thats how I began my vacation, and developed an open sore from the gash on my heel cuz my shoes kept rubbing it the rest of the trip...I am looking at the scar right now

Also people who basically wanna climb on my back if I don't immediately fill in the gap in queue. Like, where do you think we're going? There's 100 people in front of me, I don't have to run up to smell the back of the person's neck in front of me cuz the line moved 3 feet

I don't like it when people don't push down all the way in rows on attractions like It's thought to be a bug, or Mickeys Philharmagic.

Also there should be a no frangrance policy. Too much cologne or perfume is NOT good!!!

Partially my fault because I am a rather fast walker, but slow walkers bother me a bit, especially when they are a large group. Keep it moving people!!
