Let me just start off by saying, I did have an absolutely incredible trip with my girlfriend, just fantastic. Marie (Wannabebelle) was amazing, she booked everything for me, gave me fantastic dining recommendations (I thought I knew all the best places to eat, and she proved me wrong), and she was incredibly helpful!!! I hope everyone goes through her for their vacations because she just did such an amazing job and my girlfriend and I can't thank her enough!!!
Now, as for a slight trip report/trip finding:
I couldn't believe it. I spent most of my trip furious at how inconsiderate and selfish some people are. I mean, you always always ALWAYS get families with young children and the father is a happy guy making jokes about his kids and being friendly... it's great. You always get older people being nice and making jokes about themselves and starting up conversation with you. I usually wear 3-4 Red Sox shirts per trip (not exactly the best time this year considering at the end of my vacation they were getting swept in 5 vs. of course... the yankees) but I always get fellow sox fans starting up convo or asking me my thoughts. You also always get Yankee fans who happily joke with ya which by all means is fine, I love that... I hate it when I'm at school and a yankee fan makes an actual mean/jerk statement... they aren't joking, they literally just don't like me or other sox fans because we are sox fans...
But anyways... you always get this and its fantastic, and then you always get these people who just think Disney was made for them and them only... well, this trip, I feel I encountered 1-2 nice people a day and honestly... 15-20 of these jerks a day... and it somewhat ruined/put a damper on my trip. On top of things, when you have people blatantly cut you in lines 15 times a day, other things start to annoy you more than they would normally... such as people who think they know everything but then say something ridiculuous that just doesn't make any sense... or people who do genuinely know a lot, but brag about it... ughhhh i can't stand that. Example: I'm in line for Everest and they have a single riders line which is in view and has a good 40-50 people waiting in line... this guy is talking about all this stuff Everest related, but I can't hear him; trying to be a hero. Well, some kid directly ahead of me asks (this kid wasn't with this guy) "what's that?" pointing to the single riders line, and this guy replies "That's Fast Track" and the kid says "I thought that reduces your wait? There's like 50 people over there?" and the guy replies "Well, I'm pretty sure they just randomly pick people to ride first, and maybe disney screwed up and picked too many" then laughed like a jerk...
Also, you get people who interupt others in line to tell them like the history of a ride... yeah I know a lot about Disney, a ton, but I don't go bragging about it, I hate that... I mean, a few times I said things to other people about a ride because like 1) they were asking each other the same question and couldn't figure it out, so I just answered their question without trying to be a hero, 2) they have a child and none of them have been on the ride and the kid is scared... so I told the kid he'll have too much fun on the ride to even realize he's scared and things of that nature, and I just try to be helpful... not a hero. They were A LOT of these people out there this past week... too many.
Then you get parents who SCREAM at their children in public, the kid isn't even causing a scene but the parent goes nuts, sometimes as far as to hit them... I mean come on... then you get obnoxious kids and the parents refuse to do anything, I saw one child who would go up to other kids and hit them, and the mother just laughed... I don't get it...
And then there's the teenagers... why are they always there on their own in packs? It's not six flags... I don't get it... They think it is six flags though, they swear, they make obnoxious jokes, they makeout with their bf/gf in line for rides, touch each other all over... I mean, they've probably been dating like 4 months, gone on 6 dates to the mall and yet they act like they're in love and in some kind of o... its disgusting... its because of this type of people that whenever i see teenagers in a group... immediately I don't like them. Ya know how sometimes you see someone and you just don't like them? I get that EVERYTIME I see a pack of teenagers... if i see a teenager with his family, good kid. He could go home and do this stuff that bothers me, dont matter, good kid. Another example; I'm in line, like 11:00 at night for a milk shake at my resort (AS Sports) and there's like 3 high schoolers in front of me, probably 16 years old, and then like 4 kids out of line just talking to them, and they're all acting like they're the greatest thing since sliced bread... well there was one kid who just had this awful demeanor about him, probably the "leader" of this little group... wicked annoying, thought he was absolutely the man... starts talking to another random group of teens who he didn't actually know... and was joking with them like they were best buds, and these kids thought nothing of him and walked away, so the kid was like "wow... someone thinks they're too cool" and I was livid... just staring him down now... and he turned to me and was like "so where you from" and I just glared at him and finally said "don't ever talk to me" and he just turned around and shut up... I'm not tough, not at all, but I was livid with this horrible human being, and he shut up fast... so it was nice...
Final complaint... as said above, getting cut. I got cut a total of like... 25 times, and it was ridiculuous, people pushing others out of the way, sprinting, literally sprinting on rides like ToT and RnRC to get out of the screening room first... unreal... people cutting for buses so they could sit... it was just so rude...
HOWEVER... final verdict: after I accepted this and just tried to enjoy myself... it was a GREAT trip... FANTASTIC... got on Everest probably 6-7 times, and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! Had an absolute blast. Only got to do RnRC twice, ToT twice, Test Track and Soarin' once, Space, Thunder, and Splash Mt all only twice each... it was just so crowded... but it was okay... I think I need to only go in Septemeber from now on... where it will be less crowded, and have less local teens who make is less "magical" All in all... amazing trip... very depressed to be home... and I cannot believe I'm at work right now (even though I'm hardly working...)
Sorry if this was too much of a negative post... just had to vent some thoughts because all in all... it was a great trip, just had a lot, and I mean a lot more encounters with rude people... a lot more than normal... I wish they could do a considerateness (if thats a word) test or screening... so only nice people could get in...
And thanks again to Marie (Wannabebelle again incase anyone forgot). You were so unbelievably helpful!!! Everyone really should use her, or any of the Kingdom Konsultants!!!
