Oh completely, but Disney and their own system now of experiencing the parks adds a whole new element of stress that didn’t use to be thereYes, the “stress” can be dialed back by Disney, but when it’s all said and done, people have to take accountability for their actions first and foremost
so then we can mostly agree Disney asking everyone to behave is about as stupid as some of their recent decisions over the past years thenHa, no.
The people fighting would fight anywhere, anytime. The "stress" of Disney has nothing to do with it.

It’s about as stupid as putting “caution: hot” on a coffee cup.I'm sure a lot businesses have some kind of verbiage to let people know if they get into fight, they will get kicked out. So no, I don't think it's stupid. I think it's sad it's necessary, but not stupid.

What I was saying however is that even tho stupid people will always act stupid, Disney has themselves made visiting and enjoying the parks more stressful than ever and moreso than it needs to be
Putting this on the website would probably be seen by more guests, I’ve been to Disney hundreds of times and I still haven’t read most of the website.
I believe that posting it allows Disney to enforce it more readily, which I hope and believe is the intention.I would be surprised if it is actually enforced, but glad to see that they are even addressing it.
You’re not understanding what I’m saying. Sure Disney can be an escape from the everyday normal life adulting stress, BUT visiting the Disney parks today is nothing like visiting the Disney parks used to be and the changes cause way more stress to some than beforeI know I'm in the minority when I say this, but I disagree. Planning for a trip to Disney may cause "stress", but it's not the stress of dealing actual life problems. Illness (family, lived ones, pets, friends, yourself, anyone) is stress. Jobs are stress. Money issues are stress. Those are all issues that can give people short fuses at times in their lives.
Going to Disney is not stressful in the same way. It's just not. Annoying at times? Sure.
I'm not giving people who are rude, act like morons, the easy excuse of "oh, but Disney is so stressful now". Give me a break. If you can't handle the issues Disney throws at you without being an a-hole to other people, then you've got problems you should deal with and leave everyone else out of it and just stay home.
Problem is half the time they don’t think they’re in the wrong.It’s been my experience that people behave more poorly these days. I’m not sure why but it’s not limited to theme parks and certainly not WDW.
If people can’t control themselves in stressful situations like going to theme parks, driving in heavy traffic or flying on a plane, it’s up to them to find a solution.

Park reservations
Genie+ (7am lotto and unknowns throughout the day)
ILL (7am lotto)
Ride breakdowns (more than before)
Overcrowding / capacity issues
Dining reservation scramble 60 days in advance
Poorly functioning apps and websites at times you may need them to book things
Inconsistent Disney transportation
Continued price increases every way possible (resort fees, variable pricing, food and merch, fastpass system, etc) - charging more, in some cases getting less
Etc etc etc
Viewed another way... should a wedding be stressful? After all, it's not a problem.. it's not illness or your job. So why is it?
Because it's usually a big investment, a limited opportunity, something that there are high expectations around.
Kind of like... a big vacation event? Where people have invested a lot, have a limited opportunity to do it or repeat it, and people have a ton of high expectations around what their experience would be.
That's why Disney can be stressful..
I would rather be stranded in MCO as compared to EWR ( Newark ).I have to say, we were supposed to take the 7pm flight out of Orlando last night back to NJ…2/3 of the passengers were seated and the pilot was informed that Newark was closed to arrivals due to the storm. Everyone had to deplane and wait in the terminal another 90 minutes. No one lost their cool, communication was great, the pilot came out and talked to the passengers and we finally took off at almost 10 and landed in Newark at midnight.
Yes, we were all tired and frustrated, but humanity showed it’s good side and we all made it through in one piece…thanks, JetBlue!
