WDW Rules Written by DIS

[PrincessKsMom]

I sleep in the nude and I walk in my sleep.

Guess this answers my question of -- if you wear them over your pajamas, are these the same pajamas you wear to go get breakfast at the food court each morning!

I don't think it will be over until Walt rises from the grave and tells people in person that it's over. And even then I'm sure someone will say it was a trick made up by DISers.

That's so funny!!

Let's have a big DIS seance to summon back Walt Disney to yell at poolhoppers!!

So I'm reading in another thread where some are of the opinion that waiting in line is not really a requirement, just a diabolical idea/rule that DIS members made up because they personally don't agree with line cutting (so long as someone is holding your place).

So my question is, what other "rules" have DISers made up that this theory applies to? What other "rules" are frequently preached here, but not really Disney policy?

Line cutting does not have a posted policy, as it does at Six Flags and other parks, but it is also not simply a DIS invention. The official Disney policy regarding Guest Courtesy reads: "Please assist Walt Disney World Resort by showing common courtesy to fellow Park Guests. Please be respectful of others. Do not use profanity or engage in unsafe, illegal or offensive behavior. Proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times." By and large, Disney trusts its Guests to be polite and courteous -- some may beg to differ, but most folks do not consider line cutting to be either polite, courteous or respectful.

i.e. I was under the impression that there was a minimum age limit for single riders, yet I rode TT on the last trip w/ a 6 yr old who was riding alone.

Some Disney rides have age limits, mostly regarding infants. Several -- like Tomorrowland Indy Speedway -- specifically state that children under 12 months cannot ride. Aside from that, rides do not restrict children by age, only height.

The policy around "minimum age" is a "park entry" restriction that many people have kind of mis-interpreted as a "riding alone" policy. The official Disney policy regarding children in the theme parks is: "Persons under seven(7) years of age must be accompanied by a person over the age of 21 years when visiting: Magic Kingdom® Park, Epcot®, Disney's Hollywood Studios™, Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park."

To note a few others that tend to be "hot button" issues:

Official parade policy reads as follows: "Some parade routes or show areas have designated viewing areas for Guests with Disabilities. These areas are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to Guest demand, viewing spaces cannot be reserved or guaranteed. Parties larger than six (6) may be asked to separate and reunite afterwards."

Official policy regarding alternate entrances for people in wheelchairs: "Some attractions have auxiliary entrances for Guests with Disabilities. These are intended to offer Guests in wheelchairs or with service animals a more convenient entrance to the attraction. Auxiliary entrances are not intended to bypass waiting lines. Guests with disabilities and up to five (5) members of their party may enter through these entrances. The rest of the party should use the main entrance."

Well after I finished laughing so hard after wiping my tears, I made a lettuce salad with homemade thousand island dressing (those ketcup packets do come in handy). I do love Disney's condiment bars. Plus I washed the salad down with lemonade made out of lemon slices and sugar packets. Does that make me cheap or frugal?

I love the free cheese soup at Pinnochio's Villiage Haus. I wish they had bigger bowls, those little bitty cups don't hold nearly enough.

Here is the recipe for Condiment Bar Thousand Island Dressing for your lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle salad available for free at a counter service location near you.

one little paper cup of Ketchup
two little paper cups of mayo
a dash of mustard
one fourth plastic spoon of sweet relish
one eighth of a raw onion diced finely with plastic knife
salt and pepper to taste

mix well and bon appetite!

Um, I meant specifically an age limit to ride in the single rider line...not that it really matters. But thanks for the info just the same.

 

[BamaFan121s]

Will you all PLEASE stop cussing so much! This guy cannot hear me yelling at him that he is male and must therefore give me his seat on the bus!

 

[Sleeping Becca]

I also like to run over people in my rented ECV that I DON"T need.

I don't give up my seat on the bus, not to old people, or very pregnant women, not to handicap persons using a cane, not for a mom holding 2 sleeping infants at 2am on the trip back to the All Stars from MK. Did I mention my DH doesn't either.

I rent a stroller even though I don't have kids. I need something to hold all my stuff that I just can't survive a whole day without. It also comes in handy to push slow people out of the way.

This is great! I'm printing it and taking it with me in September. I'll show it to other people at the counter, too. Might as well get our money's worth out of those "free" condiments. Meanwhile, I'll have the family staking out about three tables so we'll be sure to get one we like.

I need these three tables to breast feed after making my condiment salad. And I am leave the table full of the trash from my riding ice chest that I tow behind my ecv

We are the people that continue to lift up our shirts on Spash Mountain, so you can't get your picture at the end.

I also like to get FP for my tour group of 40, and then immediately wait at the FP entrance with my group until our window rolls around.

It makes the time go faster if you argue with the CM every five minutes about how you should be allowed in early. I rent a wheelchair that I don't need to tote around all my belongings and wield it in front of me while arguing, blocking as many people with legitimate return times as I can. I figure the CM will eventually get tired of that and just let me through, and then I get on my cell phone and loudly call the other 28 people in my party to come catch up to me in the line. When we're done, we walk over to the Beach Club, where we parked our cars because we don't want to pay for parking at Epcot.

The recipe for the "free" Thousand Island dressing sounds just yummy...................But on a serious note, I have seen people make tossed salads with stuff they got at the fixin's bar. Have seen it done in some of the counter service restaurants and I mean a LARGE salad. I didn't notice what they used as a container or where they got it. And I've seen the same people add the individual packets of Iced Tea (that you can buy in boxes at grocery stores), or lemonade or whatever to their cups of water.
DH and I agreed that we aren't spendthrifts, but there are certain things we just wouldn't do. Disney trips can be expensive, but sometimes I think the Disney on a nickel goes a little over the edge and I wonder how much it really saves.
Thanks for a lot of laughs. At first I wasn't even going to read this post or the replies, but I'm glad I did. Funny stuff. And glad to see some of the Disney official positions.

I personally feel that when I am trying to get through a crowded line saying excuse me - I am being courteous. I find it discourteous that people do not just part, like the red sea for Moses, for me. I also enjoy the quiet out of the way areas reserved for smokers and hate when I sit there to rest that they do not put out their cigarettes and go else where. I even cough and they still don't get a clue. I paid a lot for my park ticket and they need to move.

I bring a hookah and smoke (tabacco of course) on the monorail, I hope none of you mind. I do this while cursing loudly on my cell phone. I don't refill my refillable mug from past trips at the resort, that would not be classy. I do, however fill it with beer, to take with me to MK. I love Old Milwalkee light and they don't sell it on Disney property. I buy about 7 cases (one for each day) and put it in the hotel room and ice it down in the bathtub, it takes a lot of ice, the whole machine full. We go swimming everyday so we don't need the bathtub.

<gulp> Uh-oh...guilty here.

 

[jngwright]

Well-I'm off to Target to buy platform shoes and hats for the kids so they are tall enough to ride all the rides they are really too short for. I also just sent an email to the pedatrician asking for confirmation that my kids are (fill in height here)so I can stand in line and argue with the CM when they tell me they are too short.
