What are the "must-not do's" at WDW? (unDisney like)

[bsmcneil]

Having a member of your party grab a table at a CS restaurant while you order is one thing...having a member of your party grab a table at a CS restaurant so that the rest of you have a place to sit & eat 40 minutes later after you get off Space Mountain is something entirely different.
Shift it sister! If you ain't movin', I'm callin' the morgue.

Yes, it's a "magical" place. But that doesn't mean you have to stand gape-eyed and drooling in a state of total cognitive surrender in the middle of a walkway.
It's a small world, make some room!

If you're willing to step, without warning, directly in front of a moving stroller, don't whine about the consequences or pretend to be shocked if you require surgery. After all, I sharpened the leading edge of the toddler foot-rest myself.
Don't take it personally, it's just physics.

Don't ever wear patchouli in public. Ever. It smells like the bottom of a port-a-john at a Grateful Dead concert, but without the charm.
Perfumes and scents are intimate things, let's keep them that way.

Likewise, you've spent who-knows-how-much to get here. No amount of WalMart perfume is going to sear one's nasal passages enough so that we don't notice you forgot the deodorant. Spring for it princess, it a good thing.
Personal hygiene is always in good taste.

Wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the stylized picture of a murderous commie pig like Che Guevara to Disneyworld (of all places) is, I believe, punishable by death, or at least imprisonment in Sounds Dangerous.
No Foul Shirts, including one's with pictures of mass-murdering, commie pigs.

I can't wear a tshirt with the picture of someone who led to the deaths of others? Wow. So much for my tshirt with ____ on it.

OK, maybe not cool, but I think it's really fun to mess with the characters a little. It must give them something to talk about in the breakroom. I also told Piglet they had pork on the buffet at Crystal Palace. He made a slashing motion across his neck and acted nervous!

You win. Seriously, I'll end up laughing about this randomly tomorrow.

Please do not cross in front of, bump into, lean on or attempt to catch a ride off the back on an ECV. Those machines do not stop on a dime, please respect the vehicle's space. If you do not, you may get hurt. Depending on how many other people like you the ECV driver has had to deal with that day, s/he may or may not care if you suffer the consequences of your own actions.

Also, please do not assume a person does not need the ECV because you see another party member on it at times. You don't know what other issues the other people have. The primary user might want to take a break or stretch their legs. Also the ECV does not get the party thru the line any faster. They use FastPass or wait in line just like everyone else, so loud snide remarks are not necessary.

Here's another one that happened this weekend.

Do not shove your child to the ground because she ran into you. I will say something like I did this weekend. The little girl was only 3 and smacked her head on the concrete and the mom's response was she deserved it.

 

[mattsdragon]

Don't go commando.

I don't mean that you shouldn't take a weekend with no plans and just have at it, I mean. . .COMMANDO. . .trust me on this one.

 

[Hidden_Mickey]

Don't go commando.

I don't mean that you shouldn't take a weekend with no plans and just have at it, I mean. . .COMMANDO. . .trust me on this one.

LOL

 

[alyssa810]

Don't clip your toe nails and\or your kids toenails during LMA and leave the clippings on the bleachers!!! We were sitting behind a family last weekend who did just that- it was disgusting!

 

[DznyLvr2005]

Don't video tape dark rides with a night vision light on a video camera...
The CMs behind the scenes think you're light on the camera is on and they will yell at you over the loudspeakers!!!
(someone's gotta tell them the difference between night vision and a bright camera light!, I got yelled at on Pirates once for it!!!)

 

[2manypets]

I've not read a lot of these so this may have been posted, but...

Don't let your child tinkle in the bushes,

Don't ask the CM's if the big bird you see is a vulcher(sp) in front of others.

Don't ask the CM's if the bats with a 6foot wingspan sucks blood in front of children. (not me, but a friend of mine asked this)

From my DH, please don't be rude in any way to a CM. They're there to make our vacation magical and keep everyone safe and happy.

Don't leave opened boxes of snacks in the back of your stroller. I saw some squirrels having a great time eating Cheezits in the back of someone's stroller outside of The Living Seas.

 

[The Sweetness]

No matter how hot, hungry, frustrated, and exhausted you are~

Dont stomp into a TS restaurant in a huff ((even w/ an ADR)) w/ your shirt off ((I am talking to males here. A female w/ her top off would hopefully be escorted off property for showing all of the children around her her *baby food*)) Being female, I am not technically guilty of this myself, but it sure felt like it that day after a rough afternoon w/ DD and DH in another theme park

I was actually surprised that once I hissed at him to put his shirt on we were seated and treated like welcomed guests

 

[bytheblood]

Please do not wear a black thong under white shorts and ride Kali.

 

[precious pixie]

Please teach your children manners

 

[miss missy]

DON'T ASK FOR A STRAW AT ANIMAL KINGDOM!!! They are not safe for animals, so you will not find them at the park!

p.s. if you use juice boxes, please throw them straws away

 

[starlionblue]

Please teach your children manners

And while at it, kids who are over 14, teach mom and daddy some manners too! Seen too many parents acting like total jerks because they want one little thing going their way at the expense of other people's enjoyment!

 

[dalt01]

Don't have one person in your party "reserve" a table in a very crowded CS restaurant when you know you're going to be in line for 20 minutes before you need that table. Let the people in front of you sit and eat, then there will be a table for you when it's your turn.

i started a thread about this a couple years ago and i mentioned how i asked a lady and kids to please get up because our food and others were getting cold while her husband waited in line. some people on here really fried me. some actually said that if i ever did that to their wife they would pound me. they said they had every right to hold a table cause they were spending a lot of money to be there. i used to be in the fast food business in another life and we did not allow table saving at all as long john silvers has small dining areas

 

[Erin1700]

Dont fish someones refillable mugs out of the trash and use them yourselves!

Also, the water parks have their own drink stations with special mugs you purchase at the park, do not put your head under the drink fountain and fill up your mouth! I saw many unsupervised teens doing this on my trips.

 

[momimouse27]

Don't GLARE at the guests in the FastPass line.

I am amazed at the amount of people who actually do this!!

 

[momimouse27]

Okay....here's mine. Please DONT curse loudly in the Happiest Place on Earth!! When you are waiting in line to see...say, Mickey...and the folks behind you are going F#*@ and D@*, S*@$ right and left it is not condusive to family vacations.

 

[2manypets]

Please, please, please don't wear an itty bitty speedo to the water parks. It's really not a pretty sight seeing panties on men.
