Which rule to enforce next?

[sunny_]

the "smoke only in smoking area" rule. Numerous times my kids were close to being burnt by people holding their cigs down, near their heads! Keep it in the smoking area people!

This would be my choice too. This isn't only annoying, it can be dangerous and unhealthy too.

1. NO large group cutting in line-it only takes 2 people to "just run to the rest room" with little Johnny or Grandma.
2. Keep it clean and covered. Everyone will keep the "private" in "private parts". Men will keep their shirts on no matter how hot it gets, and ladies will not wear bikini tops to the theme parks. No vulgar themed T's or anything that denigrates anyone's religion or politics. The last time I was there I saw three men without shirts, lots of women in bikini tops (and they all weren't teenage girls either) and a T-shirt with a phrase on it that I can't even write here.
3. NO SMOKING except in designated areas. We were about choked to death waiting for the Spectromagic parade back in June. These two ladies in front of us chain smoked the entire time.
4. If you are asked by a CM to please adhere to the rules and you argue or get nasty with that CM-you are out.

Attending Disney is a privilege, not a right. Just because you paid $70 to get in there, doesn't give you the right to do whatever you please and affect the safety and enjoyment of others.

Yeah, I'll go along with all of those.

How about no wrist band please make your way to the EXIT.

Thats for EMH , MNSSHP , MVMCP or any other hard ticket event.

I totally agree!!!

 

[tink1978]

thethe move to then end of the row to make room for the others behind you rule, I would love a CM to tell a person to leave the show if they refused to move after being told SEVERAL times.

I agree with this too. In January, I had two people scream at me because I walked over them to get to seats on the other side of them. They were sitting in the center and there was no one else on the row. I just told them that if they had followed the rules and had gone all the way done, then they would not have had to deal with people walking over them.

I think Disney should have some sort of "etiquette course" for people with strollers. I don't know how many times I've been hit and nearly run over by someone who wasn't paying attention. Some of these strollers are as big as a Mini Cooper.

 

[SleepingBeautyDreamr]

Ditto! My son came within an inch of getting it in the eye while walking through Fantasyland

I am sorry but at that point I would have told that smoker off big time for that. The kind of person that is so careless as to almost blind a child with their cigarette (that they should not even have there) makes me mad

I second the agreement to these rules

Is there a rule that applies to not stopping short in front of people in motion?

How about not holding a huge summit in the middle of a walkway?

"DO NOT HOLD SUMMITS ON THE WALKWAYS"

 

[Blumonkeyboy]

no peeing in a bottle at the end of kali river rappids yea it happened

 

[CindyAnn]

I agree with many of the rules posted above, but I'll add a few of my other personal peeves, too.

1) Don't continually bump into me in the line. You'll get there just as quickly if you leave 6 inches between us as you will when you leave only 1 inch and keep bumping into us. Since I'm not moving backwards, figure it out!!

2) Stop showing up early for your fastpass return time. Go to the toilet. Get some food. Buy something. Watch the world go by. But don't crowd in front of the fastpass return line so nobody can get to it!!

Maybe there should be a pop quiz or something.

Eewwwwww

HMMMM, Note to self....Always be armed with full squirt bottle to "accidentally" extinguish lit cigarettes! Oops, sorry, I didn't realize my bottle was turned the wrong way!

oooh , oooh, oooh...are those the same people who summit at the bottom (or top) of an escalator?

Though most of the suggestions made are good ones, I don't think I'd have much fun in WDW if the CMs were an army of "soup nazis" waiting to pounce on every guest that strayed from the straight and narrow. ( of course, straight and narrrow as defined by us on the DIS ) As I said, though I find many of the behaviors cited on this thread just as irritating as anyone else, I think the cure would be worse than the disease.

 

[bicker]

I agree. Guests should behave appropriately on their own, without any need for draconian enforcement to keep guests on the straight and narrow. It is a shame when that doesn't work. There are always down-sides to enforcement, as well as the advantage provided by getting folks to comply with the rules.

 

[msgrimm23]

the personal space rule. I cant stand it when little heads are bouncing off my butt and i can feel the person breathing behind me. I have a rule myself when this happens i let out gas hee hee smelly gas and they move back

 

[BlindTyldak]

The Heely's rule. That's the big one that's not annoying or "ew" factor, it's just plain hazzardous.

The Heely's rule. That's the big one that's not annoying or "ew" factor, it's just plain hazzardous.

Those things should be outlawed EVERYWHERE...gawky youths who are growing so fast they have a hard time walking are crashing into things everywhere - who thought it was a good idea to give them wheels??

It's the most dangerous fad I've ever seen. Saw this little girl crashing back and forth in the produce section at the supermarket the other day and fall flat on her behind after banging into the displays and everyone else.

I'm usually a "mind your own business" person when it comes to things like this, but these things are just plain dangerous. I hope security is given pictures of the things at the front gates and are told not to allow them in the park. Parents who would allow that sort of thing deserve the trip back to the hotel to get actual footwear...

Very true - I would not be in favor of Mickey Police wandering the parks to enforce the rule... riot guns at the ready... mouse ears on top of their Kevlar helmets... Doberman's with Pluto costimes...

But there is also the flip side - too much enforcement = no fun for anyone, but NO enforcement = no fun for anyone, either.

Disney's current policy on rule violations in the parks seems to be the Blind Eye policy, with the intent to avoid antagonizing those who break the rules and might cause a stink.

But this policy is Blind in more ways than one, because for every line cutter who doesn't get antagonized, there are 150 law-abiding Guests who ARE antagonized and want to know why that guy gets to cut in line while we're waiting patiently.

For every smoking policy violator who doesn;t get antagonized, there are 150 people who ARE antagonized either by breathing in the noxious fumes, or because they are obeying the rules and smoking where they should and resent others making them look bad.

For every person who pees in a bottle or lets his kid pee in the bushes who doesn't get antagonized, there are 150 others who ARE antagonized by the disgusting, unsanitary practices of these Neanderthals.

Who is more likely to become a repeat Guest - the people who grin like the Cheshire cat as they skate along, breaking a bunch of rules and having a great time - or the others who obey the rules but have their vacations negatively impacted by being jostled, trampled, tripped, grossed out, choked, or burned by the rule-breakers?

Those of us here on the DIS are something of a special breed. Most of us are repeat Disney Guests who can let the Magic happen despite those who break the rules and impose their rudeness, carelessness, recklessness or unsanitary habits on those around them. We realise the difficult position Disney is in as a business, and don't allow our vacations to be ruined by the buffonish antics of a few morons.

But everybody has a breaking point.

I agree with all the posts - I hate when people don't follow the rules and then we ultimately pay the price in stricter regulations etc. As a Smoker, I wouldn't think of leaving the Smoking area and walking around the park with a cigarette. This is just rude and totally unacceptable. If these chain smokers (i smoke 1/2 pk a day) can't go that long that they have to smoke outside the smoking area, then either don't go to WDW or stop smoking!!
