I once saw something so amazingly shocking, you're not gonna believe it. Someone left some big stupid hat in front of the Chinese Theater! Crazy, I know! Thankfully, a few CM's took it to it's resting grounds.

A few years ago, my Dad took me and younger siblings to Disney World. We were at Epcot one night and standing in line to go on Soarin'. Long story short, there were a bunch of loud and obnoxious guests in front of us who were doing gross things. I had to restrain myself from screaming at them.

I think honestly the most shocking thing I've ever seen was when one of the men who help you with your luggage outside of the hotel was so incredibly rude to me that I just couldn't stop laughing. I honestly thought I was having a joke played on me by my fiance or something. We had just arrived a few hours earlier, but our bags weren't in our room so I asked him, "hi! good morning! I'm wondering if you know the location of our bags? Here's my tag for our bookbags but we also used Disney's Magical Expr-"
I don't know where your bags are, lady.
"Ummmm, hehehehe, okay, could you um, maybe check? perhaps? maybe?"
*sighs loudly* *walkie talkies someone* *mumbles something incoherent*
"Okay, well, have a good day..." *starts to walk away*
YO, LADY, I SAID YOUR BAGS WERE SENT TO THE WRONG ROOM!!!!
This is where I start cracking up, because wow he is actually screaming at me and continues to refer to me as "lady." So I tell him where our room is and I go inside. I've never complained to anyone's manager before, but I just couldn't keep quiet about it. I was seriously walking around like 0_0 :O all day.

When I was in my first year as a CM there was a woman walking with a man who was shirtless. I told him he needs to put a shirt on and he responded ok. The woman with him takes the oversized shirt she had on off and handed it to him and put her shirt back on. So a woman stripped down to her bra in front of the hat. I just had to laugh.
And obviously not a very good one, if even one, since bars can refuse an intoxicated patron in Florida. And why didn't Disney security show up? Along with DCF?

have you read the posts in this forum about intoxicated people during F&W at Epcot?
Seems that Disney sec doesn't care much other than $$$ in that aspect.

Well, one persons drunk is another persons mellow. Can't always go by personal opinions.

I think it is. I know it's definitely Animal Kingdom because of the beer selection. The guy in the video is hilarious, glad he was able to keep his calm and chuckle on. Strong work!

No, hes saying that some people see another person having a beer, even if its their first sip, they still pull the drunk card.

No, especially not in Disney, however, what you have read here in these pages are single peoples opinions of what public intoxication is. Some if they see a person with a drink will immediately jump to the "what a drunk" position. I have been to Disney many times and Epcot at night, and have yet to see someone sloppy drunk. I have seen some that were having more then their share of fun, but, they weren't hurting me or anyone else so it was a non-issue.
Honestly, I have not touched a bit of alcohol in over 20 years and it wasn't because I had a problem previously, I just don't particularly like the taste of it and I really don't like how I feel when under the influence (i.e. lack of control). No one has a stronger dislike for the "Drinking around the World" thing then I do. I just feel that the discussion of how drunk and disorderly people are is blown way out of proportion. I do wish they would do it someplace else, but, I have never witnessed a single alcohol related problem, so I think that it is connected with a lot of hyperbole.

Except that, in the case in the video, the woman had already been cut off by the bartender. She was sloppy drunk, with a toddler, and was trying to get other patrons to buy her ETOH... You can also hear in the video someone asking for security. This is past the point of mellow, and is IMHO child neglect/abuse as well. It's none of my business who drinks where and how much, until there are children involved. Then it becomes MY business. (And any other responsible adult). Also, who's to know if she was getting into a car (read weapon) after leaving the bar? This is not just IMHO, this is the law...

I wasn't talking about someone that gets roaring drunk or what the consequences of that should be. I was talking about the misconception that if you go to Epcot, that is all you see. It isn't, but, there are alcoholics everywhere and that scene will play itself out almost anyplace one cares to be. Her example is an example of roaring drunk coupled with immaturity, entitlement irresponsibility and should have been dealt with in the extreme. That is totally unacceptable. The topic we were discussing is the degree to which that happens in Disney. Not how it is stopped when the initial buzz probably started long before they ever entered the park.

I don't think I've ever actually seen someone drunk at WDW. I've seen people holding drinks, of course, but never like a yelling/stumbling/puking/starting fights kind of thing. Or even acting mildly intoxicated, really. I am either timing my trips well, or am oblivious, or both. The obnoxious crazy people I tend to see are parents having meltdowns at MK, but most of them just seem like jerks, not drunk.
I did see a couple lift their small kid over a gate at MK onto a lawn kind of over by the hub so that the kid could pee one night after Wishes. We couldn't have been more than 10 feet from a bathroom. It was gross, and weird.

I've been to all the Disney parks many times and I've never seen one drunk person, certainly no where near as bad as the woman in the video. I've been to 3 or 4 of the past F&W fests, and again, have never seen anything along these lines.
I've seen far more obnoxious people with strollers, line jumpers and tour groups than anything involving alcohol. Just me..

It is, of course, possible that those were alcohol related as well, you just didn't witness that part.

I was heard something so outrageous(cannot post it here due to content) and did something completely ridiculous in turn. LOL I was walking behind a couple of mid-20's ladies(I use this term loosely) and one of them said something that just floored me and I was holding my phone and looked down at it for the rewind button so I could see if I heard it right. Guess I am too used to my DVR at home. LOL

And one year at DLR, my now 17yr old son was 8yrs old and we were there in March(Easter) but he wanted to play in the water by It's A Bug's Life so we let him because we were staying on property and when it started to get cold we were walking back to the hotel and his shirt kept sticking and making him cold so he took it off and as walking ahead of us saying "My parents only brought one shirt and now I have nothing to wear" in his best Oliver Twist voice and an older lady went into the bathrooms and brought him out paper towels to wrap around him while giving us dirty looks. LOL My son even now, does not look his age but when he was 8 he looked more like 5 or 6(he's now 5'2" 90lbs) and we said "He's just playing around" and he said "Yeah, I was only joking" and she lectured all of us about kids whose parents cannot afford clothes and how he should be grateful for what he has. WOW. Other people had passed and were in on his joke but that woman was a bit wonky.
