What are your Disney pet peeves?

[kilik64]

This is not my biggest pet peeve. Those have already been mentioned. I have a pet peeve with Direct DVC members who look down on resale owners as being lesser members. We all pay the same dues at our home resorts. Resale points and direct points spend the same way when booking rooms. If someone feels comfortable missing out on direct benefits by purchasing resale, then what's the problem? It's an attitude that I can't wrap my mind around.

I sat on a boat going from the MK to VGF and listened to a woman rant about resale buyers. I wasn't eavesdropping. She was wearing a DVC hat and I had asked her where she owned and how was she enjoying her membership. That set her off on her rant. I didn't tell her that I had a blue card courtesy of a small BWV contract that my mom had purchased before restrictions went into effect. I think that would have made her head explode. She was really tearing into resale owners who were diluting the value of her membership. I secretly laughed inside as I walked from the boat dock to my grand villa, which was booked entirely with 3 years worth of resale points.

Wonder what her view was on people who rent points...

This, now that im direct after a year of resale and at this point have paid way more than I could have just buying resale, i can care less if someone gets a "discount theyre not entitled too" Or a sorcerer pass tbh. Good for them! How does that affect me in any way?? I would like to know how resale is diluting the value of that woman's membership, if anything it is propping it up by having people that still want to buy this!

Was she confusing resale with renting/commerical renting?

Resale doesn't dilute the value of her membership at all, since those points were the same points as someone bought direct at one point.

 

[Girlstar30]

I have not experienced this, but it would really get my dander up. Members are Members and should be welcomed. She does not understand that there are a set number of points no matter how they are purchased. Resale does not dilute anything. We have bought all our points direct. If someone went through the time and trouble to buy resale, more power to them.

Out of touch, elitist entitled people they think they actually own the hotel. Same type that dont think anyone should step foot into the hotels unless theyre staying or own there, nobody should even be part of dvc unless they can fully pay cash (without even considering that maybe theyre saving money on the Disney trips they would take anyways even with financing) or should have hundreds of points in order to be in the club, because you know, they bought a million points at old key west in 1993 that were dirt cheap so now everybody needs to own hundreds of points too

That's the only thing that remotely makes sense to me. I guess one could conflate resale with renting since I would think someone interested in commercial renting probably isn't buying direct points to do that, but, still, just seems so silly to rant about resale owners.

Agree with others. Not sure I follow the logic. And wonder what she thinks of people who are both - My points are about 50% direct and 50% resale. Best of both worlds as far as I am concerned.

There are a lot of good ones in this thread! Most of mine were covered by other peoples, but these are the ones that weren't.

• Magic Kingdom doesn't have enough savory snacks.
  • I don't like spring rolls and I don't want to be picking popcorn out of my teeth all day.
  • Where's our version of Bengal BBQ???
• The shops seem to have all the same stuff
  • If you've been in one, you've been in them all.
  • in addition: How many people are buying dated shirts? I don't want people to know my shirt is 13 years old!

I refuse to buy dated shirts as well, good one!

I agree (although I'm fine with christmas ornaments) but would add the exception for me being special event stuff like an anniversary as I find those kinda neat. But not all designs are to my taste. Like the iridescent design of 100 years of Disney, even majority of the 50th anniversary of MK stuff weren't really to my liking (and that also included a type of iridescent to it), I think I just wanted a variety of it rather than the same logo used on a multitude of merch.

A pet peeve is when I have to sit facing sideways on a Disney bus. I would much rather sit facing forward in rows instead of facing sideways and having some person's butt in my face.

I didn't ask. That boat couldn't move fast enough for me. I wanted to get away from her tirade before I burst out laughing in her face!

I totally agree (but mine is usually the butt in someone else's face), but I think that Disney has to have that configuration for ADA reasons.

The first time I rode the train at magic kingdom, which was in december, I thought the backwards seats were the weirdest thing

YESSSS! Its butt or crotch in the face take your pick. Basically Disney buses are my nemesis as most of you already know.

Honestly this is the reason we said NEVER AGAIN to taking a bus after MK fireworks

It was a prison of sour farts which I think has something to do with my next pet peeve:

Florida Sulfur Water - all the WDW tap water is gross

If you ever see a woman running, pushing, and shoving to get to the back of the bus so she can sit facing forward... it might be me.

In general even back at the store at home I wonder how and why so many people smell and how they think holding in farts isnt an option in public.
