We honeymooned from 4/22-4/28 at Port Orleans Riverside, Magnolia section. It was AMAZING, lovely, peaceful & we were glad we spent the extra on a moderate resort- Until (cue horror movie screams, thunder crashing) The attack of the Unsupervised Brats from He!!. The Cheerleaders AND the kids from a band competition were staying (no doubt at a great discounted rate) at the Riverside & making a nuisance of themselves. The Cheerleaders were (to put it mildly) obnoxious (blowing smoke at us as we passed over the bridge away from Ol' Man Island- and swearing at us) and crowded in packs over anything we tried to get near in the resorts and the parks (and cut in line, sotle from the gift shops, etc).
When I asked a manager why they were staying at such a nice$$ resort, she said that the All Stars were booked up- and that "POR is a CONVENTION resort"....Huh? Plus she said that a Cheerio cursed and told her that "heads will roll if anything happens to my luggage", plus she had other 'charming" run ins with them. The resort eve shut off the fountains behind our resort just as they arrived- probably prior bad experiences.
Other band or cheer kids were making loads of noise at 11:30 at night in the "quiet pool" between mansions. The only chaperones I saw (at about 3 pm) were 6 Moms or teachers that were too busy sunning and drinking beer at the quiet pool to be bothered with the kids. We tried gritting our teeth & making the best of it, but were sworn at by some rowdy teens- for taking a picture of a grazing bunny on the lawn "B;tch be taking pictures of us".
Can anyone else think of a way to get it through to management's heads that we won't continue to pay big$$ for this type of abuse to happen?I am seriously thinking of trying to start a petition asking that they be confined to a special section of the (lower price or remote) resorts when they invade.
D) and I only saw a group of them once at Epcot. They were very nice and one even pin traded with me!
