What are our favorite complaints

What are the things that really upset you about other WDW visitors. Those things that really upset you when you are there?

. People trying to squeeze into the front row of the parade on Main Street 2 minutes before it starts. (When there is not enough room for them)

 

[JennaDeeDooDah]

People who stretch their entire family out across a walkway so that people can't get around. Or people who walk all around the sidewalk because they aren't paying attention and make it so people can't get around them. And then there are the people who just randomly stop on the sidewalk to take a picture, look at a map, or try and figure out where they are without moving out of the way first.

Only one thing bothers me: self-absorption. People in WDW (and everywhere else) act as though they are the only ones on the face of the planet as they navigate.

A perfect example is the family walking together in a group in the middle of a path. I can get past their "need" to walk side by side so long as they keep moving. I am not in a hurry at WDW. But then "something" happens and the entire group stops in the middle of that path and has a pow-wow. Yeah - in the middle of the path. Hundreds of people behind them trying to navigate and now they must move around this family - a family that is oblivious to the needs of anyone but themselves.

If I had to guess, I would say that I see this type of poor behavior more than any other in WDW.

People who decide to plop down in the middle of the row in Philharmagic or Tough to be a Bug, despite the constant loop of "Move all the way down". One of my kids "favorite" memories is when this happened and my DD and DH went around them but then there weren't enough seats so other DD's and myself got stuck on the other side of this annoying family. I politely asked them to move and the "mom" gave me a hard time but I stood my ground and explained that the instructions were clear and that ALL seats were equally good.... I won, she moved (after hurling a few non-Disney like words my way lol)

This & people who change their infants diapers on tables in the restaurants. Yes, we've seen it & it's disgusting.

One year at MNSSHP we were taking a photopass picture by the HM (the one where they put the ghosts in afterward). There was a guy at a snack cart right next the photo spot and the photographer politely asked him is he could move over a few steps. He refused! He started yelling about how he paid for a ticket and he had every right to stand in that spot. What a jerk!

That is DISGUSTING!!! I'm glad I've never seen this.

I almost never have complaints about the parks or the people in them while I'm there. I understand that we all come from different backgrounds, all have different personalities and different ways of finding our way through life. I understand that one is distracted when in a Park and aren't necessarily thinking about others around them. Why should they? We don't understand them or recognize that they aren't doing a personal assault by stopping to get their bearings, etc. In fact, when I think about it I wonder why we would think ourselves so important that we would get upset because someone, a stranger, wouldn't constantly be aware of our presence.

Now what I do tend to complain about is my following months Visa Bill!

EDIT: Oh, yea... Fastpass, I hate Fastpass + or -!

When the group/family/person in front of me goes from walking at a decent pace to a sudden stop. I'm also not a big fan of someone not paying the slightest bit of attention comes from nowhere with their super stroller and nearly plows myself and DD down. DD still uses a stroller in Disney so I know how crazy manuvering one can be in the crowds, but I still look to make sure no one is in our path before I trek on.

 

[JillyBean1899]

Parents that insist their child *WILL* ride everything and *WILL* like it, because they spent $XYZ on this trip. Meanwhile the poor kid is absolutely terrified of the ride and is having a panic attack on the loading platform.

And then they want to yell at me, the ride op, because it turns out their kid is too short to ride, and they just stood in line for 2 hours. Dude, I *KNOW* you were told at the queue entrance that your kid couldn't ride, because *I* was the one that told you!

Agreed!
We ALWAYS sit in the same spot on the curb to watch the parades. We will sit down two hours ahead of time to make sure we get our spot and there is always someone trying to squeeze in. We do, on occasion, let someone's kid sit next to us so that they can see.
This did backfire one time when we let a father park his son and daughter next to us. He had the nerve to ask us to watch them while he ran to the store. He was gone, I swear, about a half hour and the kids were screaming and fighting.

Picking out a good spot for the parade and people trying to cram in 5 min before it starts.

YEP!!!

Never really witnessed to this until our trip 2 weeks ago, but I saw 3 different people shoplifting while in WDW.

One guy had the nerve to look right at me as he put an entire case of Vinylmation into the backpack in his baby stroller. Sat the kid back on top of the backpack, and strolled on out with the mother.

It was busy in the store, and, by the time I got a CM to tell them, the guy had blended in with the crowd.

Later on I saw 2 more instances of people stealing.

It's absolutely disgusting to me that people think they are entitled to just "take."

Absolutely the one thing that bothers me (no matter how I try to rationalize it) is what some others have already posted -- people who don't watch where they're going, spread out and block pathways, stop without warning anywhere and everywhere.
We're all slightly bedazzled by Disney at some point or another. But if you really need to be that into yourself and what you're doing -- or if you MUST stop and watch that character coming down the path -- MOVE TO THE SIDE. Please. Pretty please. Pretty please with sugar on it.
Be aware that there are likely hundreds if not thousands of people behind you who also want to move safely from spot to another.
Thank you.
