Geez. And I thought they were everywhere last year.... This year I will not hesitate to switch parks if I see a lot of them. For some reason all the groups seem to congregate in one park any given day.

This is definitely not true, especially for July. I remember park hopping and seeing different colored shirts wherever I went. mp3 players/ipods kinda help.

Why would that be? If they're staying at a Disney Resort, there's no reason to use a Chartered bus. When we used to stay at the Value Resorts, we were swarmed with them.

Why? Because there's more people in the group than would ever fit on a single Disney bus.

Some school groups have 40+ kids with them. They stay at Value resorts and still use their own transportation. Not every group does this but I've seen it happen on several trips.

Exactly, and this is one of the main complaints from guests. Ever left the Magic Kingdom at closing when there's a group of cheerleaders waiting to board the bus back to Pop Century?

These groups (some of them) can barely afford coming to Disney as it is. Then to charter a bus for the entire time makes no sense.

Perhaps the bus was their transportation both to Disney, and throughout it....

How exactly would you know what they can or cannot afford?

Chartering a bus makes perfect sense for the reasons I already stated. You should be happy some groups do so, since you seem so concerned for those riding the Value resorts' buses. It keeps large groups off of Disney buses.

Why do you think so many of these groups travel in groups? It's specifically to save money.

I'm not in the least concerned about the Value Resort buses. I don't stay there anymore.

From Brazil?

I'd sit that one out.:lol:

Didn't really see where the country of Brazil was mentioned in your post. But thanks for your tepid attempt at ignoring that fact.....

As someone who once traveled from NJ to WDW on a senior trip in quite a large group I'll tell you it wasn't all that cheap. Was quite pricey for what we got, actually.

Regardless, people travel in groups for various reasons. Traveling across the country or in some cases TO another country is rarely cheap.

The topic of this thread is groups from South America. Little known fact - A lot of the tour groups at Disney are from Brazil.:rolleyes:

But thanks for the insult. It was completely necessary.

What would be nice is if they would spend more time at Universal this year.... The Wizarding World should be new to most all of them...

Facts you seemed to ignore in your own post....



As necessary as your own prattle. A fact you seem more than willing to overlook....

I'm sorry. You're right. From now on, I'll include a quote from every first post of the thread as to not confuse you.

wm49rs wasn't confused at all. I quite specifically mentioned "school groups" in one of my posts. Who in many cases do take their own chartered buses to WDW because it's easier than flying (usually because they're from nearby states).
