shocking

I rarely see rude behavior at the parks. Maybe I'm so wrapped up in having my own fun that I don't see it. I know it's out there though. I've been skipped in lines aplenty. But I don't let it bother me. I'm gonna have fun, no matter what. Yesterday I made a day trip to EPCOT and this lady skipped in front of me right at the counter of Cantina de San Angel. I didn't say anything, but I have to admit I gave her the look. You know, the "d*** your rude" look. But I didn't say anything. I probably wouldn't have even thought of her again until I read this post. I also meet some great people yesterday. The family we sat next to at Teppanyaki were super nice. They were so enthusiastic about Disney I thought they were fellow Disers. Of course I got the look when I asked them so (I filled them in on us and they are gonna check it out when they go home). My point being, most people at WDW are nice. Some people put so much time and money into their vacation that they have a hard time just relaxing. Don't let rude people ruin your fun. Of course this doen't mean to stand by meekly while hoards of people pass you! In today's world you never know who you are dealing with so it's always good to be nice.

I have a 4 year old, and try as we might, he at some point will have to use the facilities at an inopportune moment, despite our group taking many breaks during the day. Kids are kids; get over it. I am not going to get my undies in a bunch because someone who was ALREADY in front of me, returned after taking her 2 year old to use the potty. I would hope that they'd do the same for me. I was going to have to wait anyway. And just so I don't inconvenience others, our group enters the attractions together.

Why make your vacation unpleasant? I can understand saying something when there are five people at your back clawing to get past you, but for a parent with their kid? People, just use your common sense. I am just not interested in ruining mine or anyone else's vacation by being the queue police. You can't control other people's behavior, you can only control how you respond to them.

I rarely see rude behavior at the parks. Maybe I'm so wrapped up in having my own fun that I don't see it.

I agree. I have been to WDW 10 times and can recall very few times when I was treated poorly. If I had been, why would I keep going back?

lfontaine - I have had groups of 6-10 people pass me to say they are joining their families. Most of the time with the larger groups they are older kids and adults. Hard to believe that they all had to go to the bathroom at the same time. I would say in this case 9 out of 10 times they were just having someone hold a place for them. I know to some people that may seem like a low number or no big deal, but when you have been standing in line for awhile and this happens it can be kind of aggravating.

I have no problem with a parent taking a child for a bathroom break. Although my dd is 16 now, I do remember what it was like, especially when lines are long. What I don't get is the large groups of adults line-cutting to catch up with someone - if I am waiting in line for a period of time, how come I didn't see them pass me on the way out for that bathroom break?????

Generally, I am an outspoken person, but when in Disney, I choose to ignore these behaviors. It isn't worth my time or aggravation and I won't let anyone spoil my vacation.

I believe most of the people there are not rude, it's just a handful, and we shouldn't let them get to us.

On every trip but one(Christmas 2000...very cold), we have spotted some lady's rear-end hanging out of a pair of too-short shorts(I believe the term is "hot pants"). On one trip, the woman was in front of us in line, and when she turned around, I did a double-take. She was old enough to be my mother!! The kid with her called her "Granny". How sad that a woman would want to deter attention from her front cheeks in favor of showing off her rear cheeks.

OK- I guess according to some definitions I would have to plead guilty to line skipping. When DH gets in line for RNR and I go get our Fastpasses for TOT, I rejoin him in line, so I guess, technically, I"m skipping.

I"m not going to apologize for it and I'm not going to bust anyone else for doing it. I don't like it when a big group of cheerleaders are shoving past me and sometimes I mention that I'm sure their mom's would be proud of their manners but if everyone is there and one person comes up with their fastpasses, I'm not upset about it.

I've also given fastpasses out to other families with small children, let families with children on the resort busses before us, etc. So I guess I"m not completely rude and evil.

I don't mind, on most rides. A couple of rides have very narrow queue lines, though and it's impossible to get out of line and back in without stepping all over an entire line of people both ways.

My DDs and I have talked about making stickers to put on people who cut/push past us in line - "Hello, I'm Rude!" and "Hello, I'm such a Loser!" are two of the sayings they want to print out... Then, as people shove past us, we just pat them on the shoulder, putting the label on their back!

Don't know if we'd ever get the guts up to do it, but it sure makes us laugh just talking about it.
