What is the most annoying thing you have experienced another guest doing at Disney?

[MET270]

We had been waiting for the next group to go on Ellen's Energy Adventure and finally the doors opened and everyone went inside to get seat in the vehicles. The cast members reminded everyone that they were to remain seated once the ride started several times. The ride started and a woman stood up and shouted that she needed to leave, the cast member announced over the loud speaker that she could not. She climbed over the edge of the vehicle and got out. They stopped the ride/show immediately, the woman left the ride. But, the cast members were unable to restart the ride, everyone had to exit, the ride was shut down for over an hour while they tried to reset it.

Having the nerve to be standing in line in front of me.

In Philarmagic last trip there was a man that sat down in the middle of one of the front rows with his family. The CM kept insisting that everyone move over to the end of the row and he wouldn't budge. After delaying the show for about 5 minutes and the remaining people walking all the way around him to sit down, the CM made an announcment that she wanted to thank everyone who could follow directions for doing so. It was funny to DH and I because it was totally snarky and you rarely hear a CM do that, especially over the microphone. But the majority of the people in the room laughed and knew what she was getting at.

So many choices, mostly at MK of all places, but one stands out for me.

I was walking through MK during one of the MVMCP last year and crossed the parade route shortly before it started. There was a man arguing with the CM as to why he couldn't stand up front in the middle of the walkway that was being kept open for people trying to cross (like me). I was behind him as he walked back towards his family, and I heard him say as he got to them "He thinks he such a big man telling people what to do. I'm gonna go back and kick his ***." Then he turns around, bumps me a little out of his way (not violent but enough to annoy me), and heads back to the CM. So I turn and follow him just to see what he does. Then he starts berating and threatening the CM, and using horrible language in front of all of the families waiting for the parade. I stepped in and had him yell at me for a bit instead of the CM, since I knew the poor CM could do nothing more than say "I'm sorry sir" or risk losing his job. The guest calmed a bit when I explained that the CM was just doing his job and told everyone else the same thing he told this man, and that if he went too far, he'd be having security escort him out of the park.

I just couldn't believe that someone would get that angry and vulgar and threatening because they didn't get a front row spot for the parade five minutes before it started.

The people in front of me that put kids on shoulders as parades or fireworks start. Since I'm short now I can't see a thing

OMG this one annoys me! On the flip side, I feel bad for people when the theater is mostly empty and they've learned this rule so well that they move all the way to the far side, even when they are the only 5 people in the row.

LOL! We do that...And the fill in all available space thing. Heck for a week after we came back last time I was still hearing that phrase in my head everytime I would get in a line at the store or on the elevator. Not sure why but it seemed like I heard that more on our last trip then all others combined!

The most recent for me was the man in our safari truck last week who spent the entire ride whistling for the animals. Like how you whistle for a dog to come to you. As if his 20 minutes if whistling was going to make the animals swarm the truck. Didn't work

 

[LaurenT]

There are a few things that irk me ... but I'm in my happy place in Disney and I try to be really friendly with everyone .... What annoys me most is when someone is snotty in return. This one woman was waiting for rd at the tap stile next to me. The CM was chatting with her and I chimed in ... Well! You would have thought she just got gum stuck to her shoe. So I sat there quietly waiting. Then she started talking about how her neck always hurts when she gets off of RnRC ... I took another shot at being friendly and said "you should ask to sit toward the front of the cars ... It's a smoother ride" .... To which she rolled her eyes and said "yeah - but the back goes much faster", lol. I kept my mouth shut .... But in my head I was thinking "hmmm / I think I missed that day in physics class".

 

[heidijanesmith]

The people that push me jostling for a spot to watch the parade and fireworks at MK. Why anyone would think it is ok to push someone just to what......get a slightly different spot.

On the flip side, a wonderful person let my DD(then 6) stand with her children in the front row so she could see, we were in the 2nd row.

This happens every time we do Philharmagic! People are such idiots! Follow directions. Kudos to the CM!

A tall older gentleman trampled my 5-year old at MK one night and I said, "excuse me, sir, but you knocked my son to the ground." I was only expecting a quick "sorry" or something and instead he started saying "god bless you" loudly, as if his religious worlds exempted him from being a decent person and apologizing. I was angry, and thoroughly disgusted.

This.

I'll go a little further though with mine. We had our spots for the Boo to You the other night. We were talking with a nice young newly married couple (surprisingly from our area of the country back home) and we were all standing because it was raining. A family comes up behind us 5 minutes before the parade starts and tries ramming their stroller in between us and when they asked if we would move and we said we'd been there for an hour and we weren't moving, the mom started getting all snarky and rude to us.

We were all just like, don't come to a parade 5 minutes before it starts and expect a front row seat.

Flip Side:

There were the normal rude guests that during the fireworks walk up infront of you. Well, for Hallowishes, there was a family next to us and the kid (of the dad sitting there with them) was the one yelling at people he couldn't see and for people to move. Dad yelled at his son to stop whining or they'd leave, I told the kid to come stand over next to us as we had no one around. Mind you, all of this is because they were all sitting on the curb and didn't stand, but I offered to have the kid stand infront of us so he could see.

The best irk I had this week at the Halloween Party was at 7pm, we were 3rd in line for Jack Sparrow. Right at 7, as he's walking out, you see some parents throw their kids on the stage and Jack walked up behind them. They "tried" to skip the line and do a M&G right as he was coming out, yeah, the CM stepped in, told them to get off the stage and showed the parents the back of the line... That was a happy ending to that one! Jack even apologized and said he had been in the rum a little early (to make up for his almost taking those kids first).

Worst...

On a full bus heading from MK to CBR. My daughter uses a wheelchair full time. She is unable to stand or walk. We always wait in the line for a bus. We are not in a hurry we are on vacation! Most times we get directed to a HC waiting spot. This night that happened. Well this lady went on and on and on about wheelchairs! She got on the same bus as us. She went on and on and on again.... her voice was loud the bus was stone quiet. I remember my DD looking at me with a sad face hearing the lady. My DS was about 10 and he was so hurt, listening to her rude remarks. I looked at each of them, shaking my head. When the bus came to ts 3rd stop she got off! Her final remark was "Bye wheelchair!" My only remark was "My daughter has a proper name and its Shavonne!" After she got off everyone clapped and started to chat. It was an awful experience for everyone.

 

[Sarahleigh]

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people snap their chewing gum. On our last visit DH and I were seated 3 rows in front of a lady that snapped her gum obnoxiously loud the entire ride. I felt like jumping off the tram...

 

[Mousemommy1]

Just a couple of weeks ago, we were at DHS and staked out a good spot on a curb to watch the Frozen fireworks. It was probably about an hour before the show.

We had been sitting there for awhile as others filled in around us. Being 19 weeks pregnant at the time, my foot started to fall asleep from sitting on the curb for so long. Mind you, my DH and kids had been sitting on that curb to the left of me and my best friend was on the right.

I stood up to relieve my tingling foot, still standing in my spot on the curb space.. A woman, swooped in with her two kids, and sat on my foot, in my spot!!!.

She was literally, on my feet, right smack dab in the middle of my group. My DH was going to say something right then and I was in such shock I couldn't believe it. Then, she reached back and started feeling my foot and leg...like she was trying to figure out who was behind her????

At that point I said "UMMMM, that's my foot...." She just said "oh" and turned around....

Her DH then shows up behind us, and I told him that she sat on my feet. He tried to tell her and she was like "oh well" and wouldn't move. Her husband looked so embarrassed and just kept apologizing...my DH was like "I'm gonna make her move" and I just said to forget about it because the show was going to start and I would stand anyway....

It was one of the most bizarre and rude things I have witnesses at Disney yet...

 

[minnie mum]

The list is long, and is a sad commentary of how some peoples mamas raised their children to behave in public.
_Cutting in line at ride queues
_Treating CMs with disrespect. Refusing to follow CM instructions
_walking 5 abreast in the streets so no one can get around them
_stopping dead in their tracks, forcing those behind them to do likewise to avoid barreling into them
_using strollers/ECVs as battering rams
_abruptly cutting in front of or crossing in front of those in wheelchairs/ECVs, or strollers
_holding IPads or tablets above their heads to take photos/videos and obscuring the views of those behind them
_flash photography on rides or in darkened shows
_putting their special snowflakes on their shoulders for parades and fireworks thus making it impossible for those behind to see anything
_shoving themselves or their kids into an already occupied space at the curb minutes before the start of a parade.
_leaving their sloppy mess unbussed at CS tables when they are finished eating
_using loud profanity in the proximity of children
_loud chanting/singing in queues or theaters (I'm talking about the guests, not the CMs)

I can't believe how fast those sprang to mind. Maybe because they've become almost daily occurrences over the last few years. It all seems to boil down to an egregious sense of self entitlement and lack of common courtesy.

 

[YouGotaFriendInMe]

I'm not a mom. I get that. But I'm a grown woman with common courtesy and a brain. CONSTANTLY i'm being run over with strollers. like i will be walking "with the crowd" or in a line to get around people and mothers will just scoot in. I have the worst experience with mothers..... I've had one put her arm up and say "what the ... i' m pushing a god.... stroller with my baby in it, make room, i'm on vacation too" (beautiful family friendly mouth on that woman)... i've had another WHILE I WAS STOPPED BECAUSE IT WAS 2 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND THE CROWDS WERE CRAZY constantly reverse and push her stroller in to me saying "excuse me! hello are you deaf i need to get through?!"... my husband had a great deal to say to her. her stroller had a plastic piece that cut my leg. her response "it doesn't matter i have a reservation at Crystal palace that i'm not missing, you should have moved"....... I've had countless bumps that mothers have apologized for but that's completely different. seriously. come on moms.
