I’ll be visiting from the UK August 24-Sep 7th, are there any sports/cheerleading/band groups or events that usually happen that could be a disruption? I’m staying at All Stars too 😓

They (especially Brazil and Argentina) are back in school by that time, so it shouldn't be a concern then.

I don’t recall Dis ever doing anything to change these groups from amassing at the parks. We’ve been annoyed by several groups of unruly teens before. There’s nothing you can do except turn around and go in another direction to avoid them. The noise they make, the blocking of your paths, and other issues they bring with them isn’t something Dis can really stop. Moving somewhere away is your best action to take.

@JIMINYCR it's not just a WDW problem. It's a Universal & SeaWorld problem too.

Can you remember the specific dates they visited or give me a rough annual window ................................................ just so I can avoid them in the future obviously? Oh and it was definitely the All Star Sports wasn't it? :rolleyes:

In my experience at least, the main windows are early to mid-January (at least after NYD) until the end of February, mid-June through the end of July, and, more recently the first two weeks of October. I've also experienced a few groups during the middle of December, and hardly any over NYE!
Also bear in mind that Brazil and other South American/Latin American Countries follow different school schedules.

No one was discussing teen groups at Uni and Sea World. Of course there are teen groups at Uni and Sea World that are disruptive as well but since the OP was commenting only about WDW that's the only site I referred to in my reply.

The only time I've experienced obnoxious behavior from a group was (in the last days of) Magical Express when me, my two kids and 3 other families were subject to vile talk from about 30 cheerleading competition kids on the bus. These kids were swearing, using sexual slurs, racist comments against their own chaperones and generally being pretty out of control. They were also rich, white kids judging by the bling they were wearing and the "rides" they were talking about having. The teachers with them seemed to be too scared of the kids to discipline them and it took two non-tour parents speaking up to shut the bad behavior down. It's not all Brazilians....there are some really poorly brought up American tour groups, often from quite privileged backgrounds, out and about at certain times of the year.

Sure, but it's literally 85-90% same as Spanish and she was generalizing (not just Brazil). Why do people always wanna be like aCtUaLLy...."

They are annoying, which any large group is if they are roaming around like a pack yelling in any language, but especially the chanting in a foreign language.

That sounds really frustrating, especially when you're just trying to enjoy your time at the park. You’d think Disney would have kept a closer handle on this after past issues. Hopefully they step in soon.

I recently encountered a group from Dios de la Janeiro, the capital of Brazil, whom I easily recognized by their accent, being somewhat of an expert in dialects of Latin myself. They tried to push in front of me on my favourite ride, Aladdin’s Magic Carpets. But being 6’4, 450lbs I use these groups for bowling practice. They flew through the air in all directions. ‘Who’s Aladdin’s Magic Carioca now?’ I yelled triumphantly. They sweared as they landed, cussing me out in their native Lusophone. However, having lived in Lusitania for a few years I speak that as well as Brazilian and Portuguese. And made them hand over their Liberty Belle Lightning Lane passes to me as payback.
