What do people do that irks you related to WDW

[mking624]

This is what irritates me : We are waiting patiently with our girls in a character greeting line and as soon as it is our turn some parent comes out of nowhere and pushes their kids in front of ours. GRRRR I feel like telling them 'Wait in line like the rest of us!!'

Yep, that really bugs me too. This happened to us last year while we were waiting to get a pic with Kermit & Miss Piggy. A family of about 15 cut in front of us just when we had finally got to the front of the line (and they had said the next people would be the last...so we were supposed to be the last). They literally shoved us out of the way and the mother shot me the dirtiest look and said "we were already here." It wasn't even close to being true...they had run up and she had told the children "look! There's Kermit & Miss Piggy!!! You wanna meet them?" They were never in line. They just decided they were gonna screw everyone over and get in the front of the line. I was so upset. Fortunately the CM with the characters allowed my husband & I to go through as well as a few more people because of what this family did. It's like they thought that because we didn't have children that we weren't allowed to be next in line when we had been waiting there for some time.

People who think their children and family are entitled to a better time at WDW than I am, because I'm an adult without kids. (A great instance of this is the parade pushers. )

Amen!!

 

[tbelfonti]

People who expect a discount code for Disney and plan a trip around it before a code is ever released.

That would be ... me

I'm laughing hard here--I know you meant "spray" but I thought "spay them" works even better! LOL OK, OK, my dark side has now been put to rest...

your right I meant spray but wait a minute.......not a bad why let these people have offspring!!!

(1) Attempting to break in Line

(2) Pushing past other people to get on bus or tram (especially if you push my dd), after those people have been patiently waiting.

(3) I know people that do not have children have a right to enjoy disney as much as anyone else but it does aggravate me when dd has waited line to meet a character that we have been looking for all week and the cm says okay 5 more minutes or 2 more autographs whatever they say and all the people in front of her are adults. If I was in their shoes in that circumsance I would look back and if there was a child behind me let them go. That happened to us in 2002 with Lilo and Stitch right after the movie came out. We finally found them at MGM and waited in line forever we were right at the front when they said time was almost up and there were to couples in front of us without children. DD was brokenhearted and we never saw them again that trip.

I have seen several other things brought up that reminded me that was also a pet peeve of mine, but no matter how many pet peeves I have I love going to Disney I mean I have pet peeves about my DH but I love him to (at least most days ). I try not to worry about what the people around me are doing unless it effects me and I have to say most do. Line skipping, stopping dead in the middle of the road, pushing, etc.-all effect me if we around when these things are hapening.

I'm irked by people who push you out of the way at parades... they usually run up as the parade starts and act like they didn't do anything wrong. I really hate it when these families use a small kid to get away with this. They have the kids innocently swipe a spot (most people won't say anything to a kid because they usually are small enough and don't block the view). Once once it looks like the kid got a primo spot, the whole family comes over. I had tried for a few years to get a really nice spot for spectromagic and finally got the good spot a few years ago. I was happy that I'd finally be able to get the perfect pictures I had been wanting. A family tried to push us out of the way, but this was probably the only time I decided that it was worth fighting for the spot. I remember the dad saying "but my daugther won't be able to see the parade." I just replied, "I'm sorry to hear that, but that's why I got here an hour ago... I wanted a good spot so I could see the parade. I'm not about to let you just take the spot that we've been patiently sitting at." He wasn't too happy and fortunately a Cast Member walked up and asked them to please get on the sidewalk behind the rest of the crowd that was already there. That made my day.

I know this next irk will probably irk a few people, but people who use the term "ressies" to refer to reservations drive me crazy. How hard is it to say "I made a reservation" or "I booked a room" and not mangle the english language?

I use and electric scooter while at Disney as I have a bid knee and can't walk very far. People don't seem to see you when you are sitting. When they do they cut in front of you and even going slow thoses things don't stop on a dime. They they get run over and get mad at me. I have even had one person end up almost in my lap (her firend caught her as she walked right into me at a 90 degree angle. This goes for people stopping in groups. I have had to ask may time for them to move over so I can access a ramp.

People yelling at their kids. I understand some argument from older kids. Mine are quilty of that. can't agree what to do etc. but spanking a small child who is just plain TIRED is uncalled for. Maybe the parents need a time out.
I am taking a three year old for part of our trip this summer and only plan about 2 hours in the morning and 3 in the evening for him.

while waiting in line this past trip to go into disney playhouse live at mgm a little girl was knocked down by a group of adults who were in such a hurry to get to the "best seats". come on people!!! get a life!!!

line jumpers irritate the heck out of me as well. so afraid they're going to miss something, i suppose.
got to view wishes for the first time on this last trip. after sitting there for an hour waiting, guy decides to stand up and sit on railing spoiling an otherwise perfect view of the castle and fireworks display. "sigh"

We know the feeling!! Since we are just 2 adults without kids sometimes people overlook that fact that YES we are in line to see the characters too!! OH and something that KILLS ME, It really burns me up is . . .

We are waiting in line for lets say RNR and there's two girls ahead of us. And they are giggling and pointing WHATEVER. Then all of the sudden they spot their friends of 50 in the back of the line and yell hey guys! Come up here with us!

OR when kids are left on their own that SHOULDN'T BE. . . .

We were in the FP line for BTMR and these 5 boys around the ages of 10 - maybe 15 were in front of us and we were walking and came up to the part that is an open window and you can see the different trains go by. Well they each had bags of jelly beans and were THROWING them at the people on the passing trains (carts). SO once we got down to the loading station I let the CM know but by that time they had put them away. We were unfortunate and got stuck on the same train as them and during the entire ride we were hit in the back of the head with JELLY BEANS!! I was UPSET!! When we got off the one kids was talking about to the same thing at SM. Once again I let another CM know and we went the TOTAL OPPOSITE direction from that group.

 

[johde]

OK here's one of mine that hasn't been mentioned before. People sitting in the front row for a parade that decide they need to stand just as the parade goes by. One time here were four rows of people sitting all of which were able to see. Just as the parade comes one person in front stands up and the whole crowd then needs to stand to try and see.

I'm sorry I have to say that if your DD was REALLY looking for a certaint character that you should have researched where and what time they would be. FDH and myself are Lilo and Stitch FANATICS and we were there at MGM during that time and saw them. They were even listed on the maps. That was one of the main goals in going to WDW is to meet them. We waited first thing in the morning to see them. I feel bad that you DD missed out because it was a great photo opt. JMO

My biggest irk, is entire families of 6 or so that stand in line for a counter service meal, wait until they get to the register to decide what they are having, and then are surprised that they have to pay and both mom & dad start digging in pockets/bags for cash/room card. Then, they ALL walk up to the counter to wait for their order, blocking 2-3 lines worth of space so when other peoples orders are called they have squeeze in, saying excuse me at leaset 6 times, pick up their tray and then try to squueze back out of that group. Uuuggghhh! get it together people.

Then on the other hand is the person who orders combination meals with drinks for 8 people, and then when the food is on 3 trays says to the cast member, now how am I supposed to carry that, can you have someone help me to my table??? (yes I did see this happen, right after the family of 6 left).

Add in the line jumpers, the dead stoppers and the smoking in non designated areas and its a winder that I LOVE my WDW trips so much!!

Just because you are grown dosen' t mean its not as fun for you as for a child. Disney is for everyone not just kids. I love going as a adult. I use a scooter. At CA last month I waited for the electical parade for 45 minutes and a woman comes up as the parade is starting and asked me to move so her children can have a spot. What was I suppose to do leave the park there was no where to move to. Better planning on mom's part would have had the kids a spot 20 minutes sooner.

This one bugged me. Selfish me..I waited in that line and missed going on the rides, and now I'm supposed to look around and see if there is a child that seems to want an autograph more than me. I guess I could come back tomorrow, and wait in line again..and hope there aren't people behind me that also want the autograph more than me when they say no more
That darn old entittlement thing again..that I waited in line and think I deserve an autograph/picture when someone else might want it more..I guess I should just move aside if there are kids behind me that didn't wait as long, but must want it more. After all, I didn't have to pay to get into Disney, and part of that wasn't getting to get a picture with the characters..oh, wait, I did pay to get in! This reminds me of that lady screaming behind me last year at the Starwars autograph signing..after many of us waited and waited, and they ran out of autographed pictures, so she started at the CM telling them they should make one of the adults give up theirs, after all, we were adults, and her child was just a young un. Selfish selfish me, I gripped mine with an iron fist! After all, I'd been in that line for over an hour..and she just now walked up.

 

[SEC]

People who use strollers as battering rams! A woman with a toddler used her stroller as a battering ram to exit Main Street after the fireworks and hit my husband pretty hard a couple of times until we stopped and stepped aside. It was very rude!
