Simple little thing that drives you crazy and probably shouldn't.

I for one, think that line jumping should be a park removal item. If ya gotta go to bathroom go to bathroom. NOT my fault you cant plan. i go to much smaller parks and line jumping is a removable offense

I understand what you are saying but I have had the instance when one of my girls has to go when we are the middle of a line. Usually we just leave the line totally but there are times when we have gone and gone back. This is a rare, rare moment since we are very good about hitting the lav as we walk by them.

Riding on the Tomorrowland People Mover, I pass long stretches of dull undecorated walls. I wish they would paint scenes on the walls to make them more interesting. There could be comical ads from the future or at least scenes depicting what the future as Walt imagined would look like to dress up the ride. That also goes for other areas of the parks that could be dressed up with just character scenes or portraits.
Me too! I love the People Mover. Don't know why. But I want to discover some little "treasure" just for People Mover people. Like some little "Walt" scene, or visions of the community that it could have been. Give me something futuristic here!

- Stopping in queue to play video games
- No cannon fire outside Pirates of the Caribbean (the parrot is a bit more technical, so I excluded it)
- Tiny plates in Pecos Bill's when I want to make huge toppings bar salads
- Broken Roger Rabbit silhouette in the blinds
- Star Wars vehicles rotting on the fake backlot instead of entertaining in front of Star Tours
- Walk to the bus stops at EPCOT is ******* huge after a long day
- Out of control children bumping into and running around me in queue

The walkway up to the monorail leaving EPCOT. I get why it has to be an uphill walk but with a stroller I almost didn't make it one day - and that was with making my son get out and walk so it was 30 less pounds to push!!

I can't stand the people who don't use deoderant. It's like they don't realize that you're going to sweat walking around in the Florida heat all day. :mad:
I chuckle when I hear this one because all it reminds me of is seeing a Brazilian tour group just swimming in the former fountain/pool that is front of Countdown to Extinction that is now a planter.

If someone has been standing in line and then a little one has to go, I don't mind letting them back in line at all. However, if a group sends a "runner" to get in line while they go to the bathroom, get drinks, or whatever and then think they are going to get in front of us; no way. I tell them they have to go to the back and wait in line like everyone else who is standing here has. It has worked so far. One little group of teens didn't like it, but I used my teacher voice and look I used when I was teaching in a public school, and they left. They made comments under their breath and gave us dirty looks, but they left. From what everyone has said about certain tour groups, it wouldn't do any good to tell them to go back. However, I would tell them anyway. It would be a matter of principle.

People who don't clear their tables at Quick Service Restaurants.

Believe it or not, that is a cultural thing. Some asian countries you DO NOT clear the table yourself, they have people to do that. It doesn't matter if its McDonalds or any other fast food type of place, you're supposed to let the person hired to clean the table, clean the table.

Yes, I got some dirty or strange looks sometimes when I'd forget this.

Of course, when they're in the U.S., do as we do, but just thought I'd mention it.

I am a teacher too. Lol. I so agree with you. I get so angry with people who think that 1=15. Since I am a math teacher that doesn't work for me. Lol

Really though, I avoid tour group season and would rather go during Xmas. Those crowds seemed more reasonable. But if course I don't roll with the crowd so we barely saw any.

My pet peeve? People who think that just because I am tall and have waited for the parade with my kids that they can stand infront of me. Between myself and my kids. Really? I had a woman argue with me on Xmas that I was rude for not letting we stand infront of me. Umm- really?? Try waiting like I did and there is no way you are standing between myself and my kids.

While we are at it, can we do the same thing with the Fastpass machines? ;) I hate getting in line for a particular machine at something like RocknRollercoaster only to find out the lady in front of me is one of the cheerleader chaperons with fifty tickets to feed into the machine!

We had the same problem. We had been waiting for over an hour to get our spot, and right at the last minute a lady and her 8 year-old managed to make their way right up behind my family and the family beside us. The mom said to me, "Could you let my daughter in front of you so she can see?" I said that I was sorry, but that we had been waiting for over an hour to be on the front of the line, She then starts talking out loud about how rude I was and that children should be given the front of the line. What about all the children she and her daughter had just pushed aside so they could get to the front. Additionally, the child could see between us, she just wanted on to be on the front. Then she told her daughter to push between the people beside us. She thought she was whispering, but the man beside us heard her. He told his wife to get closer to my daughter so that girl didn't push her way in front of anyone else. The crasher heard him and starting yelling at him stuff like, what kind of man are you? My daughter is only a child. How dare you not let a child get in front so she can see. You should be ashamed of yourself. She went on and on. She finally left. I'm sure she pushed her way to the front somewhere. If the child couldn't see, I would have moved over a little, but she wanted on the front and was determined to be there.
I wish there was a way for everyone to see, but there isn't, so you have to make a choice on whether to keep riding, or lose ride time and go get a good spot. Everyone has an equal chance to do that.

For me it has to be...
1) The changes made to the former TTA. That went from being one of my favorite rides to being just annoying and boring. I usually don't mind changes, but that one sucks corn.
2) All the cutting and jostling that goes on while exiting MK right after fireworks. People need to chill out

A similar thing happened to me a couple years ago while waiting for the Share a Dream Come True Parade only it was with an older woman in a motorized scooter and two older men. My mom, dad and I had gotten to our spot early so that we could be in the front and we sat on the ground while waiting for the parade to start. The people mentioned pulled and walked up behind us. When the parade started I stood up because I wanted to take pictures (I'm not freakishly tall or anything just the average 5' 5") and they started making rude comments like, "ugh we can't see" and "you make a better door than you do a window", etc. I politely turned around and said I was sorry but I wanted to take pictures. And they just kept it up throughout the whole parade saying how rude I was and how some of the kids behind me couldn't see and blah blah blah. At one point one of the men with the woman on the motorized scooter put his hand in front of my camera lens. It was then that I snapped and told them to be quiet and that if they expected to see during the parade then they should've gotten there early so that they were in the front. It's hard to take pictures of a huge parade while sitting down. I also said a few choice words that I won't mention here but they were seriously the rudest people I had ever encountered. They were probably like in their late 50's early 60's and they were acting way worse than the kids all around us who didn't say a word. There have been many times when I've had to strain to see a parade therefore that is why I now show up early. If I want to stand during a parade I should be able to do so. Thank you! LOL!

I really don't like the "oblivions". You know, the people who think they are the only ones in the park and stop right in front of you, the large groups that walk slow, and the people who walk diagonally in front of you when you are walking straight. You know, the people who are oblivious about anything that is going on around them!

They aren't oblivious, just self centered

My biggest Disney grievances...



The new voice on the TTA. I know Disney has to change things up everyone once in a while and normally I see past the change and try my best to enjoy the attraction [Journey into Imagination] but this new voice is really awful in comparison to the iconic voice of the attraction. And I miss it.
I totally agree with this one. I miss the previous narration. Some of the greatest phrases came from this ride. "Paging Mr. Morrow...", "Now approaching Mickey's Startraders" Thank goodness for youtube. I can go back and listen to the old TTA spiel.
