Annoying People in the Parks - Sept 2016 Edition

[tribbleorlfl]

We're walking, We're walking, We're walking.....but now we're going to stop..... so we can have a conversation. Not pull off to the side, not get out of the way.....just stop.....right in the middle of everybody. The Couple, the in-laws, the sister and the 2 strollers. Just come to a complete stop. Nevermind, that there are people behind them.

With any luck the guy behind them who is texting while walking won't notice.....and walk right into them. I've seen that happen a few times and it's almost magical.

This is really the only Disney pet peeve I have. The rest of the op's list or the counless other beefs people have in similar threads I just either roll my eyes on or it doesn't bother me.

I'm too optimistic in Disney to look for the negative.

But in the real world, I hate everyone equally.

 

[Patcheslee]

I would agree with all of these no matter what amusement park people are at. That being said... is taking videos/ with the phone screen set to barely lit just as bad on rides? Not blocking peoples view but getting a kids reaction to a ride she's been looking forward to.

This wasn't in september but

1) Adults cursing and disrespecting their parents. Show some respect, and there are children here, so watch your language.
2) People who vape in non vaping areas. Please stop. Go to place you're supposed to smoke.
3)Chanting tour groups starting fights with people in line.

Cursing's really not cool.

Flash photography on dark rides is the ABSOLUTE worst

Happened to me after I had a FP+ on Pirates. I was sitting in the back row of the boat and a family in front of me who didn't speak English was taking flash photos throughout. The worst was when the man in front of me decided to take a photo of an AA behind him which meant, yep, flash right in my face. Gee, thanks a lot! I tried to yell "No flash photos!" They just looked at my like I was the one being rude for being loud. Grr.

You went there...

If you erased all the items on the list they would be replaced with 8 new, but different, ones.

1) Why do people continue to take FLASH pictures of the castle with a cell phone from Main Street? Do people think the flash is actually doing anything other than annoying people around you? It's like 300 feet away.

2) Why do people continue to shoot terrible, shaky video from a cell phone in Indiana Jones, Festival of the Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, any fireworks, etc, etc? There are PRO shot videos on YouTube that look WAY better than your cell phone video will look and sound.

3) Why do people take pictures of fireworks? I mean, I can understand a few, but I see people doing it constantly, then posting it to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram like real time. They miss like the next 5 fireworks b/c they are bragging about being at Disney.

4) Why do parents let their kids eat and drink whatever they want at all times? I have never seen as many obese kids as I saw this last week. It is shocking. These kids weigh over 200 pounds and are under 12 years old. It's clear these kids get anything they want.

5) Why do parents not discipline their kids or make them have some manners? running around the restaurant, banging silverware for 10 minutes, and screaming constantly is not OK, even if you're having fun at Disney.

6) Why do people constantly complain, particularly about prices? I can't tell you how many times I heard people complaining. Stop going!!!! I would love for you to not be there.

7) Why do people walk 5 and 6 abreast in the park? Just because you have a family, doesn't mean you have to walk arm and arm throughout the park. The walkways aren't super wide and your slow stroll through the park is annoying.

8) Why do people ignore cast member direction? Fill in available space, go to your assigned number, keep up with the party in front of you, etc.

7 Deadly Sins
1. Them=? (Born less intelligent) You=Hubris, Wrath
2. Them=? You=Hubris, Wrath
3. Them=? You=Hubris, Wrath
4. Them=Sloth, Gluttony You=Hubris, Wrath
5. Them=Gluttony You=Hubris, Wrath
6. Them=Greed, Envy You=Hubris, Wrath
7. Them=Greed, Gluttony You=Hubris, Wrath
8. Them=Hubris, Greed You=Hubris, Wrath

7 Deadly Sins Scoreboard
Them= 9
You= 16

In Ancient Athens, Hubris was considered one of the greatest crimes and was used to refer to insolent contempt that can cause one to use violence to shame the victim. Aristotle defined hubris as shaming the victim, not because of anything that happened to the committer or might happen to the committer, but merely for the committer's own gratification.

Technically it wasn't even the whole tour group. It was this one bad apple who started insulting or being rude this guy's wife. What followed was NOT pretty

Well now I want to know what happened.

 

[HeroOfWDW]

Well now I want to know what happened.

PLease excuse my memory as this was quite some time ago. From what I remember, a kid in a tour group was in line for Midway Mainia. He then either was insulting or saying something rude (kind of like the guys with Jasmine's old dress). I then remember this Japanese Male (the husband to the insulted wife) start cursing at the kid (in a Japanese accent, which made the scene really funny). My mind starts to get foggy at this point at the memory because I can vaugely rember the Japanese male, grabbing the child(14 or 15). That's what I remember.

Are you kidding me? I LOVE these parks. Not complaining about them, just about the people who go there

Just thought I would mention in the vane attempt to eliminate ignorance... Vaping is not smoking. It is vapor, as in water. If you drove to Disney or anyplace in the fog... that's vapor. I understand that it looks like smoke, but, it neither smells like smoke or has any of the properties of smoke. I also understand that they should, since that is the rule now, be in the designated area, however, we really need to educate ourselves on what are real dangers and what are imagined dangers and let others live their lives.

I have nothing against people who smoke. That's their decision. Sorry I didn't know the difference, I don't smoke

I wasn't attempting to say anything just directly to you, but, to the constant barrage of people that do not know the difference and want to condemn people just for doing something that they personally don't approve of without really knowing what they are upset about. Many people that have gone to vaping have gone that direction to stop actually smoking, so what do we do, in our infinite wisdom, we send them into the very environment that they are trying to get away from. Doesn't seem like the smartest way to deal with it. I'm afraid that right now I am just a little sensitive to this problem because it seems to me like all of America is living in a world of "we don't know anything, but, by god we are highly upset about it." So much of it could be solved or, at least, calmed down, by just a little accurate knowledge.

Dude. Try and take it slow. Go with the flow.

When I read this it totally came out as Crush's voice in my head.

Yes, its annoying. It ruins the dark ride also it's annoying people have to take videos o their kids every time they get o a ride. Just enjoy your kid and their reaction, be there in the moment with your family.

 

[SyracuseDisneyFan]

Exactly.

 

[splashingatkali]

Why do people complain about other people complaining? Why do people get on internet forums and explain to everyone why our world is so bad and then think it actually matters? I go to WDW to have fun, I go every year and 1-8 I pay zero attention to since there is nothing I can do about it anyway. Relax, enjoy life, have fun.

Very well said!
