Has anyone ever had another guest start an issue with you?

That's exactly right. The point is whenever you go to another country you obey the rules and laws. You show respect! You act like a human being and not an animal. If you saw what we saw over Christmas at Disney, you would feel the same way. Oh yes, by the way, if you are wise you won't drink out of the water fountains in the park after what we saw foreigners doing in the fountains. GOOD GRAVY!!

Curious, did you go up and ask every individual acting rudely what their country of origin was? Or is stereotyping just an easier road to take?

New year new intake?

Wow. Just wow. It's very easy to stereotype entire countries, isn't it? Actually, it sounds like you are including everyone who is not an American in this stereotype. That is totally ridiculous. Americans are just as capable of piggish behavior as any foreigner. Good gravy (whatever the hell that means)!!!

Or more importantly, how do you know that they were foreigners?

 

[marni1971]

Uh oh...

 

[LucyK]

This thread is going downhill pretty fast...

Foreigner (not rude though).

 

[wm49rs]

Uh oh...

Amazing how all of this has been stirred up by not one, not two, but three recent accounts. What are the odds?

Amazing isn't it.

Always, when such coincidences fall so easily into place....

At MK on NYE last year there was the usual jostling for the best position on the edge of the pavement ready for the parades & fireworks, and people were stepping over those who were sat down, so they could walk down main street. This one guy got really mad at this person who had stepped over him and they ended up throwing punches at each other. CM/security swiftly broke it up but it was so sad to see people fighting and in front of kids as well. There's just no need for it!

So what you're saying is - you went to a parade, and a hockey game broke out?!

Im always amazed at ANYONE who runs around and has the nerve to be pushy and Rude Especially in a Foreign country. Arent we all supposed to be Ambassadors of Good will and represent our country in a positive way when we travel overseas?

People on vacation at WDW are hardly on a diplomatic mission...they are on vacation. Nobody has the right to be pushy or rude at home or abroad, but I don't think there is a higher responsibility to behave well abroad.

What were they doing that was so disgusting that Americans are incapable of doing and do not do on a daily basis?

 

[LucyK]

I actually agree with @Todd L that we do represent our countries and we should take that into consideration when we travel to other places. Then again I also believe that courtesy and good manners are something that should be ingrained in how we behave anywhere, be at home, at a party or while in vacations.

I believe that's a compliment for the sous chef.

I've seen some reports of people using the water fountains as personal baby bidets but those report never mentioned if the perpetrators were foreigners or Americans. While I believe in the possibility of it, unless the poster went up to all people doing that and asked for their ID, he/she couldn't be sure of their nationality.

Wouldnt they more likely be Seminole?
