I have observed rudeness in every way, shape, place and form imaginable at Disney.
Last year, we were there in July. We had done one week at SSR, the following week on the Disney Magic and the week after back at SSR. As you can imagine, 3 weeks of the "Happiest Place On Earth" and it's counterpart and we were about to go nuts. In 95 degree heat every day, no less.
About 3 days into our final week, it got to me. After weeks of being stepped on, run into, stopped short in front of, expected to move aside for either oblivous (the "it's all about US people") or rude, stomped on or trampled along the parade routes, and line cut to death by the entitled or the 300-person-plus-tour groups, I finally snapped!
I told my family "No More!". I was no longer going to be the "nice" one! If someone stepped on me, I yelled OUCH! very very loudly. If someone ran into me - I pushed back. Stopped short in front of me? They found themselves run into. Oh yes, we are in the United States of America people - we drive (and walk) on the right. No more moving over for the people who did not understand this and also felt the need to walk 5 abreast. It was great fun yelling "Red Rover" and breaking up their line of defense!
The culmination that day was dealing with the line cutters. We were entering the "outside" portion of the line at Toy Story Mania. We were behind a 30ish woman and a girl of about 5. She kept talking (in Spanish) on her cell and looking down the walkway. 3 rows into the line and she stops short in front of us and motions for someone to join her at the end of the row (before it turned the corner). Well, here comes hubby carrying a 6 month old baby along with Granny and Grandpa (in their 50's). That did it. I LOUDLY told her "NO LINE CUTTING", and we wouldn't let them pass.
She pitches a hissy fit and complains that I was mean because, after all, hubby needed to change the baby, and did I want a child with a dirty diaper in front of me for the 80 minute wait? I told her she needed to wait OUTSIDE the line until her whole fam-damily joined her, and by-the-way, did it take 3 adults to change a baby's diaper where she came from? Of course, they pushed their way in and proceeded to speak in Spanish about us and how horrible we were. I told her I spoke Spanish and she was wrong to pull a stunt like this. She said, "I despise people like you", to which I replied, "I understand completely, as I feel the exact same way about you". We reached the CM that stands right before you enter the building, and my family paused and told her what had occurred. She simply shrugged and said she couldn't do anything as she had not seen it.
Upon exiting the ride, I went over to the same CM and asked for a manager. I told him the entire story and he was sympathetic and somewhat annoyed as well. He mentioned that they had a meeting that very morning about tightening up on this behavior at this ride and would soon be implementing ways to stem it. I like to think that the procedures now in place at TSM are a result of that meeting he had.
My vigilante fever continued the next day. I stood my ground against a South American tour group of about 30 trying to catch up to the other 270 in front of us some ways at Test Track. I also busted a man with a 6 year old boy at Buzz Lightyear. You know the part inside before you get to "Big Buzz" where the standby line snakes back and forth? As we were moving along quite well, I turned around to say something to my nephew. Over his shoulder I saw the man get out of line a ways back by crossing over into the empty FP line, move up about 8 rows and get back into line just behind my group. He was not with the family behind us, but just inserted himself quietly and they didn't say anything.
At the next turn in line, I told the CM standing at the juncture where the FP line merges into the loading room and the CM (in his 50's) just shrugged. Wrong answer! I knew he had to have seen it also, so I said, "So you're just going to do/say nothing? Maybe I need to speak to a manager?" I fully intended to after the ride, but as we moved, he went up to the man and the boy and removed them from the line, back the "wrong way" down the FP line, and out of the ride. Score one for the good guys!
I didn't really accomplish anything by joining the "dark side" with 4 days to go into my trip, but at least I felt like I stuck up for myself.
I think my biggest pet peeve is that these people get by with their rude stunts (not so much the oblivious people walking into people - I get that they are distracted by Disney) because hardly anyone EVER stands up for themselves and calls them out on their behavior. When they know full well that 9 out of 10 people will grumble, but say or do nothing, it empowers them to just keep on doing whatever they please, and to heck with anyone else.
I'm not going to take it anymore. At least not quietly.
there was literally no where else to go... It was really weird, made me feel very unconfortable 
Reminds me of a joke a young child told me: "If you're a frenchman in the bedroom and an Italian in the kitchen; what are you in the bathroom?"
But you're quoting from the wrong theme park! 
) we weren't given much respect. While in line at counter-service restaurants or attractions, CMs would often defer to the closest "adult" standing behind us. It was very frustrating when families behind us would walk past us or pay for their food first without correcting the CM. The times I spoke up, I was met with surprise or indifference.
. Then when my credit limit came back, he seemed shocked that I was awarded a higher charging limit for the hotel. I could have hit him with my o2 tank, but instead I just let it go and got my husband on him
