What are your Disney pet peeves?

[zavandor]

My pet peeves are:

people who’ve been waiting in line forever but wait til they get to the register to figure out what everyone wants.

Oh yes, I hate this. When I visit a park with family or friends, I collect everyone's orders on a note in my phone while in line and at the register I can order for 10 people in under one minute.
Luckily, mobile order now shields us from that.

To add to this speaking about my 2017 trip I mentioned in a Saturday to Saturday schedule MK had MNSSHP party nights back then 3 nights but back then it closed at 7pm, there were nights that were not party nights that closed between 9-11pm regular park hours. It still was an effort to try and maximize park time with the earlier closing times.

Nowadays MNSSHP starts earlier than it did back then, closes the park at 6pm, and regular park hours are not that late anymore.

To be fair with a mention towards HHN over at Universal they do close down the Studios at like 5pm I believe but they just don't have nearly the same number of nights that are affected throughout the year at WDW does. I also forgot about Jollywood Nights over at DHS. Fall/Halloween season is rough already but if you're going in that Christmas time like another poster had talked about it can get really dicey there.

HHN are somehow worst and better at the same time. They are every night from Wednesday to Sunday, so leaving only two days with later closing hours of regular operations. Difficult to plan around that. And they cancel the night show completely, even on Monday and Tuesday during the whole party season. But they're only two months of the year, whole September and October.

People who block the view of those behind them during fireworks/parades (kids on shoulders, raised cell phones and tablets, Minnie ears left on). Special place in hell....

Or those people who feel entitled to place themselves directly in front of you right as the parade is about to start while you’ve been camped out for 8 years…

And it's not just one area that you have to walk through them. People will smoke all over that walking path so it's just one area that you have to walk past them. It drives us nuts. At least wait and go to the designated area. Make friends with other smokers.

Pet Peeve #2: They also throw their cigarette butts on the ground instead of the trash, even if they are right next to said trash

Pet Peeve #3: People who vape in public but act all "James Bond" like no one can see what they are doing.

Hmm, I clearly have smoke angst.

I’m with you on all of this

Yes, my personal belief is that DVD should have insisted on a minimum purchase to create and activate a membership. I also personally believe that the minimum should equal 1 bedroom villa in one's home resort for one week. There are not enough studios. Also, everyone should be counseled to buy where they want to stay. Don't buy SSR expecting GFV or even, BCV.

DVC should have been built off of buying a week in a 2 Bedroom like any other timeshare...

but what Disney realized quickly was that was not actually how people wanted to vacation at Disney.... They weren't looking for villas, they were looking for the Disney Resort experience, and studios would work just fine... Look at how dismal the living rooms and dining tables are even in the 1 and 2 bedroom units compared to other systems...

The 2 Bedroom Fiasco known as Boardwalk Villas speaks to this very point... Everyone wanted a studio... nobody wants a 1 BR Pool/Garden...

Best I can tell, a minimum purchase of 230 Points at OKW has about as much purchasing power most generously as around 320 points at Polynesian tower, realistically closer to 425-445 points because of the view type disparity....

If that was the minimum purchase requirement for Polynesian Tower, no one would be buying.... So instead they emphasize the small units and delude people into thinking 100 points will be enough (no way it will at the Poly Tower!)

Yeah this one is the worst and I no longer let it happen. Has made for some very awkward encounters.

@TDK44 I finally thought of one. When people say Expresso

Half of my enjoyment and value from a WDW holiday is watching other people enjoy themselves, but the tethering of people to their mobiles (phone drones?) is ruining it for me. Too many people look frustrated and miserable trying to work it all out.

In the same vain, people saying Alltimers vs alzheimer's, even heard oldtimers some as well.

Haha I totally agree with this one, but it's not Disney-specific! (Though I bet it's said a lot more there than other places...)
