So what bothers you at WDW that may not bother anyone else???

[Catvondita]

I have a few.

1) Kids. That sounds horrible and I'm not against kids but since there are so many everywhere you have a lot of the stereotypical kid troubles that come up. Kids that wet themselves, throw up etc. Kids that throw a tantrum. Kids that are crying for some ridiculous reason. The spoiled kids. The kids that run into you and don't say excuse me because they're kids and that doesn't occur to them. I know Disney is the wrong place to be if you don't like to encounter these issues lol but I do love Disney and its whatever kids act like kids so it's not a big deal.

2) When people are coming back from Blizzard Beach/Typhoon Lagoon and they sit their wet butts on the seats so it's nice and wet for the next person. I forget which Bus at Pop shares a bus from the water parks to another park but I remember the bus picking people up from the water parks and it smelling like sweat and chlorine.

3) People who stand in the middle of walk ways and paths. As a New York I have very little tolerance for this and I'm trying to be better but people will stand and take their sweet time trying to get a picture or starting at a map and I'm like can you just move a little bit out of the way??

4) People who try running into the monorail or bus without everyone getting off first. Can you wait?

5) When people don't wear deodorant in Florida...you are in Florida... it is hot...you will sweat...your stench offends everyone around you. Just be considerate!

There are a few more but I'm afraid I'm sounding angry or bitter. I'm not I swear! lol

Really? I get the exact opposite feeling from servers, like they're relieved that we don't do the DDP.

Same. I'M relieved we're not on the dining plan, too. That was an extra level of planning ... to eat stuff we didn't really want ... and NOT order stuff we DID really want.

During a show not removing a crying baby.... I mean full out tantrum, a little crying which you get under control quickly fine. But other guest want to enjoy the show I know it's 'Disney' but be respectful that others are trying to enjoy the show too.

I give props to the other family in Monsters Inc laugh floor who took their crying child out. (My husband left with DD as well)

 

[RogueKnits]

BUBBLES!!!!! I hate those stupid bubble guns that Disney sells, or the even the regular bottle of bubbles. My husband wears glasses and I have a nice camera. The bubbles pop and leave a residue on lenses that doesn't simply wipe off. I also don't appreciate the soap on my clothes, and by the way, some people are allergic to the soap. No one wants hives or a rash on vacation. I get that you want to keep your children entertained while they wait in line, but queues have way too tight quarters for you to be blowing bubbles all over unsuspecting strangers around you. You can play with bubbles to your hearts content at home, but please stop blowing bubbles at the parks.

Along the same lines as the bubble guns, I hate the fans they sell that have a water bottle attached so someone can spritz and fan themselves. I get it, it's hot, but it's also crowded and I really, really don't want to be "secondhand spritzed". Plus, if you give them to a kid chances are they are going to use them more like water guns than fans. Last trip, I spent most of my time while queued up to buy a Dole Whip trying to stay out of the spray from a little boy behind me who kept spritzing his entire family.

I've already chimed in here but reading on has brought 2 more things to mind and they're related. Some have commented on people who stop in the middle of a walkway to check a map etc. I sometimes do that but it's deliberate move when I do. A peeve of mine involves a group or family walking in such a way as to occupy the whole sidewalk, coming toward you, studiously ignoring you and yours on the assumption that you are going to clear out to accommodate them. Seeing this, I whip out a map while standing in 'my lane' and study it in ignorance of their presence. They part like the Red Sea every time.

This probably wouldn't bother most. But when I go in a restroom and see a foreigner trying to take a pooky in one of the men's urinals, it kinda irks me. I've tried working on the issue, but I still grimace to this day when I see it happening.

I must not be up on euphemisms here, by 'pooky' do mean you've seen someone taking a dump in a urinal?

My tactic is to just stop dead in my tracks and let them go around me.

Bill From PA

Yeah. But I understand how it could be confusing. Garfield's teddy bear goes by the same name.

I also understand how it might be confusing to someone that doesn't live here.

I think most of my pet peeves have been addressed already:

• People who don't scoot all the way down for shows
• People who litter or don't clean up after themselves. (No, setting your trash on top of, or next to, the trash can doesn't count, it needs to go inside.)
• Smoking outside of designated smoking areas
• Flash photography on rides or attractions
• iPad photography during parades or fireworks
• Toddlers taking up their own seat on buses. DH and I always have our kids sit in our laps so that others can sit. (I also usually have no problem standing, although my current 7-month belly is throwing my balance off and I'm nervous about not being able to find a seat on buses!)
• People who take up CS tables when they aren't eating, or linger after they're finished eating. (Five minutes or so is fine, but I don't think it's appropriate to sit for half an hour or more when others are looking for seats so they can eat.)
• Teens and adults who play 'scream' on the HM
• People who don't look at CS menus until it's time to order, then take forever to decide what to get
• People who cough or sneeze and don't cover their mouths, especially when it happens in a crowded space
• When strangers (usually middle-aged or older women) touch my children (pat them on the head, pinch their toes,...). Or when people let their own children touch my toddler or get in his face

None of those things infuriate me or ruin my day, I just wish they didn't happen.

 

[itchin2go]

It irritates me when people expect my children to automatically give up their bus seats because they happen to be males.

I'm raising them to believe that they have a right to sit down if they are tired. If others would like to sit down, they can wait too. Nobody makes them get on if the bus is standing room only.

As a woman, I don't expect anyone to give up their seat for me. However, I will always give up my seat for a pregnant woman, an elderly person, or someone who just looks like they could use the seat (crutches, cast, etc.). And I'm personally (quietly and internally) appalled at others who don't do the same.

 

[nilla]

I have lots of them, so I'll keep going:

People making comments, groaning, etc. at various points during the "Hall of Presidents".

IT'S NOT REALLY GEORGE W. BUSH UP THERE. IT'S NOT REALLY BARACK OBAMA.

Actually it is. Laura found conversation with the animatronic more intellectually stimulating so she swapped.

Some good ones here. I only have one. As a smoker I always smoke at the designated areas. Sometimes Disney moves them or removes a few and I have to walk 10 minutes to find one, no big deal. I guess my one pet peeve is non-smokers sitting in the smoking area complaining about the smoke. Our last trip a couple was sitting right next to the ash tray complaining about all the smoke in the area. I told the one lady politely that did she know she is in the smoking section. Her response to me was I can sit wherever the he@# I want. With that I sat back down and smoked another one as they gave me the evil eye.

One I have seen that gripes me...When the group behind you turns every ride into a learning opportunity. For example, It's a small world is beloved by some, hated by others and put up with for the sake of someone in your party. I fall into group #3, the last time we were on this ride, the mother decided it was her opportunity to host geography jeopardy with her kid. ? after ? after ?, kid was trying to enjoy the ride, but Mom was on it. Our party actually had to ride again so #1 in our group could get their fix, causing #2 and #3 to want to poke each other in the eyes.

I get that there are lots of learning opportunities for kids and families but please remember that not everyone wants to be part of your lesson.

 

[scrhsa]

Do you mean "DD"? If not, you're robbing the cradle since Toy Story came out in 1995 and you have a 19-year old DD .

Snort....My DD's name is Hannah....hence the DH. I guess I was typing faster than I was thinking

I totally agree with this. They cover the entire walkway as if it's a one way street. In addition people who make no attempt to stay to the right really bugs me too!

My pet peeve is people grumbling about the most recent presidents while letting Andrew Jackson get a free pass.
