What are the weirdest complaints you have heard in WDW?

[Camping Griswalds]

As most of you know, the Garden Grill in Epcot rotates VERY VERY slowly. We actually heard a lady complaining to the CM that she was suffering from motion sickness after spinning while eating her lunch. I was laughing so hard that I had tears rolling down my face. You can't even tell that you are rotating. Some people cannot survive without complaining.

When we ate at the GG, our meal took about an hour, almost exactly the time it took to rotate one complete time around. I have horrible motion sickness, if it didn't bother me, it shouldn't bother anyone! So many people just love to complain.

All of these complaints her...makes me wonder...what do you think these people are like in everyday life?

WOW! Another perfect example of why certain people should not breed. It reminds me of one of my favorite lines from a movie regarding parenting. "You need a license to get a dog, drive a car, catch a fish, but they'll let any idiot become a parent." - Of course the actual line is much harsher than this but I can't post it here..you get the idea.

You can't help but shake your head when you witness this type of display

Oh my goodness!! Are you kidding? Imagine telling your child they can' t go to the bathroom. Unbelieveable.

Not so much a complaint as an EVIL person....
I was waiting in line in the Land Pavilion when a woman started calling her son's name in a very urgent tone. After a minute she really started to panic and she was screaming his name and asking everyone to look for him in the bathrooms or hiding under a table. She eventually became hysterical, crying and franticly looking for him. Almost everyone stopped what they were doing and looked for this boy. Thankfully after a few minutes he surfaced (not sure where he was, but someone found him). The woman was SO happy and was hugging the person who found him. Seemed like a happy ending, until her &$@! husband came over to her and grabbed her arm forcefully. He wasn't yelling, but I was close enough to hear what he was saying. He had an absolutely terrifying look in his eyes and he was cursing her out for causing a scene. I have never seen a display like this, and I felt such an urge to pull her away from him. This man was obviously an abusive husband and I was afraid for the woman. A very scary situation.

I feel for the woman.

I see you like hockey (Go, Sabres!!). My son has Afinogenov as our desktop wallpaper.....

Anyway, here is an amusing diversion - guaranteed NOT to skew the thread....

another strange comment was one I heard from a CM at Whispering Canyon.
He asked how many days we had left on our stay. My wife said. "We're leaving tomorrow morning unfortunately. We'll be home by tomorrow night." He then served her her food which included a big bowl of corn. He said "You'll think of Whispering Canyon tomorrow night when you see that again (pointing to her corn)" I nearly sprayed my drink laughing. I'm sure that would have offended some people, but you're at Whispering Canyon... its about FUN. Some people just dont get fun. I thought it was hilarious.
Anyone out there WITH A SENSE OF HUMOR who has NOT done Whispering Canyon yet should definately do it! Just remember, some servers are better than others. You might get a stump of a waiter, then again you might get a really good one who will keep you laughing the whole time. Never judge a restaurant by just one visit.

SelfEmployedDebtFree, I would not have had your self control. I definitely would have sprayed my drink all over the table.

From a Typhoon Lagoon lifeguard to a gaggle of guests (including me):

“If you don’t like how I am doing it, don’t get back in line.” Followed by, “My name is Adelaine if you want to talk to my manager.”

Here's hoping you have a better next year - or, you could switch teams....

 

[TheatreLady]

Ok I have got to say it........These are all hilarious! I've never laughed so hard.

That will never happen......I have been following the Flyers since I was 6 years old (Hard not to with 2 older brothers and 1 tv back then) I watch them good or bad. WHich is how most hockey fans are about their team.

We certainly didn't complain about it, but dh did suffer from motion sickness while in the Garden Grill. He is extremely sensitive to motion, and he definitely could feel the rotation. He just left dinner early to go sit on a stationary bench and wait for the rest of us.

That is the appropriate, polite thing to do. If the restaurant rotates, and you are prone to motion sickness, then you should be prepared.

complaining while knowingly in a rotating restaurant that you are motion sick is like complaining you got motion sick on RnR. If you think you're going to get sick, you need to avoid such situations, or politely correct the situation by moving to a stationary area. what did the woman think, they were going to stop the whole restaurant for her?

It was a beautiful afternoon at the Beach Club and my husband and I decided to leave the pool and head to Beaches N' Cream for some ice cream sundaes. We checked in at the counter and had a 10 minute wait. As we are walking way from the counter a man goes to the podium and says, "I am her for my table for Four, the concierge called ahead for a table for me".

The poor CM looked at him and proceeded to tell him that they didn't take advance reservations that the only way to get a table was to walk-up and get on the list for the next available table. He didn't like that answer and began to raise his voice saying "The Concierge said.... we are staying on the concierge floor- we have special priviledges you know -what do you think I pay extra for."

At this point you could see that his wife was very embarrased and tried to talk to him and get him to leave. He wouldn't budge! The CM again explained the seating policy and he didn't like that again, so he picked up the phone and dialed the Concierge- determined to get his table. He spoke a bit with the concierge, hung up the phone and walked away - FAST!!

The CM at the check-in counter then made a big announcement that all guests must sign-in at the counter or NO ICE CREAM!

My DH and I still laugh at this story, b/c the man was so determined to get his table, that he wasted so much time arguing - his poor kids missed out on ice cream!

As someone who always stays in Conciegre at WDW it makes me sick that this person thought they could go right to front of the line and how the Concierge there did not know Beaches & Cream does not take ADR's is beyond me. The times when my family and I made ADR's for Chef Mickey's or Concourse Steakhouse when staying on the Atrium Club Concierge floor at the Contemporary, we never expected to be seated right away because we were staying on a Concierge floor in the same Resort where those restaurants were located.

A co-worker just got back from a trip to Pop Century with her DH and DTwins (9). I had helped her with her reservations, ADRs etc and we worked out what turned out to be a great itinerary for them. When she got back, I asked her how her trip went. She said it was good, but it was too Disney. I asked what she meant and she told me that characters were everywhere and even the wake up calls were by Disney characters. A very unusual situation for me - I was speechless !

That is so funny! We took my mom, sis and bro in Feb. The second day, my sister who was beyond crabby decided she was going to go to DTD because she was themed parked out....

I reminded her that we were on day 2 of a 7 day vacation and that it was going to be a long trip if she was already tired of it.

OMG! That is hilarious!!! I amout choked on my dinner while reading this.

I love WCC...just because of this type of thing!!!

My wife ran into a similar parent one time while using the restroom. She heard a mother YELL LOUDLY at her kid because she had to go poop. The mother said "Your father and I are spending thousand's of dollars on this trip and we have to take time to let you go poop. From now on you better make sure that you go at the hotel because we are not going to miss out on the rides so you can poop whenever you want!"

We felt so sorry for the little girl!

Not exactly at Disney, but I wittnessed a woman spank her little girl 2 or 3 years old because she wouldn't stop crying that she needed to tee tee. I was horrified.

I did wittness something wierd at Disney on my honeymoon though. DH and I had stopped to watch a high school marching band come through the park when I saw a woman take down her child's pants (again this child looked to be 2 or 3 years old) and proceeded to hold her over the bushes and let her pee . I know you gotta go when you gotta go but that was waaaay wierd considering there are bathrooms everywhere .
