I don't need to have the solution, to recognize what some of the causes of the problems are.I've tried to understand the difference by asking both @flynnibus and @Incomudro what they would actually have Disney do to reduce such behaviour. Neither of them offered any suggestions. Perhaps you will.
But it is likely happening more frequently in the parks than it used to.Also, I'm just gonna say, there's a reason YouTube and etc. are filled with videos titled things like:
1. Fight breaks out at theme park!!
2. Fight breaks out at Walmart Black Friday!!
3. Passenger goes beserk on airplane!!
And NOT filled with titles like:
1. Fight breaks out at exclusive Spa!
2. Fight breaks out at private backyard pool!
3. Fight breaks out on private airplane!
And I think we all know why that is. I'll say it again, I'm amazed this nonsense doesn't occur more often at Disney.
IMO it is not isolated to WDW this behavior is happening all through society and glorified on TV shows which I refuse to mention.But it is likely happening more frequently in the parks than it used to.
I agree.IMO it is not isolated to WDW this behavior is happening all through society and glorified on TV shows which I refuse to mention.
TV gives these low lifes their 5 minutes of "fame" normal people would be ashamed and embarrassed.I don't blame TV as much as I blame a society that tries to coddle people more than guide them. Our judicial system is a joke and people know they can act a fool with little consequence.
It's everything, really.I don't blame TV as much as I blame a society that tries to coddle people more than guide them. Our judicial system is a joke and people know they can act a fool with little consequence.
Well said! Sadly, this is a very stressful time to a lot of us. BUT we all need to take the time to decompress so we can enjoy the trip. I know it's expensive, but the military taught me "travel days" do nothing that whole day but travel settle in relax and prepare. Second try your best to leave the outside the park world outside. Remember why you came and remember all the kids watching your every move! Most parents when asked why they came say "I wanted to relax and enjoy time with the kids" So when times get tough try and remember it! Disney tries but here is their problem they are understaffed, and employees are going through all the stresses we have. Most are now inexperienced kids as older more experienced have moved on in life. Disney as a company that was completely shut down is now having to deal with the economy of today. My advice is finding a much quieter vacation and come back to Disney after all this mess blows over!I do agree with you on this. Look there are a lot of things right now that are upsetting people, whether its the 24/7 news cycle getting people amped up, stress on money that everything costs more what have you BUT, that does not give the right for physical action on someone else. The line thing.. come on man! even if someone did cut in front of you, whats that cost 2 minutes not worth it? Been going to Disney since 75' and go probably 12 times a year being an AP. i do have to say i mostly go to Epcot but when i do go to MK, the level of stress there is double. Not Disneys fault, i think its just the expectations on these Families to get every ride in, every experience and do it with the family. MK there are more little kids than the other parks and i can see the parents on the point of breakdown. Also trying to heard cats with a big family group is just as bad. Now do it in this heat and its a powder keg... BTW the heat index goint to be 105 today.
Well, if Disney charged a minimum of $300 per person like Discovery cove it definitely wouldnt be as crowded. But then everyone would complain(justifiably) about how expensive it is.
I know you can't judge a book by it's cover but higher prices don't seem to be keeping anyone out
The solution is so simple --if a person needs to leave the line CM issue a paper return in line pass. How hard can that be.To me, one way to perhaps avoid this particular problem (perceived line cutters) is to post VERY clearly and often what are acceptable (and unacceptable) reasons for leaving and re-entering a line, as well as the process to follow when doing so. It may involve an additional cast member per long queue. You can't avoid people being irritated or annoyed, but you can, perhaps, avoid adding fuel to the fire.
Yup. Pretty much. I think if mostly everyone on line knows what's going on (from signs, experience, etc) then everyone's on the same page and people can just go along with it without getting worked up. It's having a process and letting everyone know what it is.The solution is so simple --if a person needs to leave the line CM issue a paper return in line pass. How hard can that be.
Dc cove ticket gives you access to multiple parks for weeks.Well, if Disney charged a minimum of $300 per person like Discovery cove it definitely wouldnt be as crowded. But then everyone would complain(justifiably) about how expensive it is.
Remember the only time you saw this type of confrontation was when two parents were fighting for the last Cabbage Patch kid or Furby?Violent and destructive behavior is on the rise in every single business setting in the US. What is happening at Disney parks is not occurring in a vacuum, especially one that can be attributed to the current customer experience in the parks.
Books being thrown at employees at Barnes and Noble, a fistfight in a Costco, parents attacking an umpire at a kids baseball game. All of these have a very specific commonality…people. And in almost every single case those people have had some type of history of similar behavior.
