International Tour Group season about to begin

[tnmowgli]

Not to mention they are very rude. When you try to go through/around them, they stand and look at you as if they dont know what you are saying.

I was at WDW May11-18. I saw alot of school groups there. All I could think of was, damn, all I got was a field trip to a museum...... If that The one other thing I did notice also was how many non English speaking people there was. And I do not mean this in a prejudice way....

..not that there's anything wrong with that.

That must be the tour groups from the United Kingdom. They all wear football jerseys, and I don't have a clue what language they speak!

Yet another reason to not visit WDW during the peak summer months.

Honestly, why do people visit during that time of year anyway besides the obvious ..kids being out of school?

It is hot, the airfare/gas prices are at their highest..hotel rates are high...the Parks are crowded....dining reservations are nutty....and tour groups.
Just WHY..?

Save your money...and your sanity. Visit off-season.

Because I'm a teacher and the only times that I can go are peak and crazy expensive.

If it's International Tour Group season, does that mean we get to hunt International Tour Groups?

I think -If we run into rudeness & the tour group brats pretend not to speak English- I will loudly say "Hey, kid, you dropped your money". When they look down for their moolah, I will say "Ha! Now that we know you can speak English, STOP THAT behavior!".

Heh, that reminds me of when I cleared out a bunch of low lifes from a kitchen staff in Richmond. Not a reflection of language, but who they were and what they did, or rather, didn't do. Nothing irritated me more than them playing ignorant, when I knew they were not... They used to always pretend they didn't understand English (not knowing I understood Spanish pretty well)...so, one day, after weeks of cutting their hours and training their replacements under their noses, the time had come to pick a fight. Payday came, and I said "I'm sorry, there's a problem with your paycheck. You won't be getting one" in English.

They learned English pretty quick!

They quit that day (walking out with their final paychecks)...

Didn't they have to ask a group of about 100 pop warner football players to leave Disney property a few years back because there was a massive fight at one of the all star hotels? I find the pop warner parents to be way worse then the tour groups ( They would basically get wasted every night at the bar and let their children run around the hotel harassing people till all hours of the night). I would take the Brazilian tour group at my hotel any day over the pop warner group.

This reminded me of our only stay at POR. They had some college teams competing in a track event at ESPN. We had hoped to go swimming after we came back from the park but two of the teams got in a fistfight at the main pool and it closed two hours early. We just went to the quiet pool but that was the first time I had ever seen anyone in handcuffs on WDW property.

"that was the first time I had ever seen anyone in handcuffs on WDW property."

Back when I was married . . . . oh never mind.

Wow- we thought we had it bad witnessing hordes of teens at POR....For the price that you pay to stay at a moderate, Disney should never let POR's (or other moderates) peace & quiet be ruined by booking teen groups there.

Time to re-learn a few useful Portugese phrases!

If you want some lessons...I can help...I'm Brazilian and while I was one of the many teenagers in one of those groups, it's embarrassing how my fellow Brazilians act at Disney.
