Oh THEY DO! Here was a photo I took on my last day (The Fifteen Tour group is in Pink & White). As Stated before they all gather at 9am & 9pm exactly in the food court..It's PACKED with a sea of people and the Tour groups overhoard the majority of them (Saving seats, Etc)...They finally figured out they can stay on Property instead of staying on the outskirts of Kissimmee...
And now for a bonus pic. How do like it when you have to have an Entire Tour Group go ALL At once to get their photo's taken with characters. Honestly they didn't go one at a time and the CM Didn't even stop them!..Yeesh!
Well, that's not good.

Truthfully 9pm is a good time for them to be getting dinner. Annoying if you are there at the same time but most people have had dinner by then. As for the picture thing. I would much rather they ALL go at the same time then one at a time. Line moves a lot quicker.Oh THEY DO! Here was a photo I took on my last day (The Fifteen Tour group is in Pink & White).

Oh yeah... I got cut by a bunch of them going into Space Mountain. They were all girls around my age and all good looking but somehow by the power god has given me I resisted temptation.
I'm lucky that the wife has never suggested (i.e. made us) dress in the same outfits....I'm not saying that I would feel like Captain Dorko, but that's how I would feel. No offense if any of you, my dear readers, happen to all wear the same clothes when you take a trip to O-town.

Why oh WHY do the tour group leaders not break them up into smaller 8-10 people groups?
I mean that worked for us in the high school band whenever we did an amusement park trip. They would drop us off, tell us to be stick in groups of five or six and then just meet back at the bus stop at a certain time. It was quick and easy, and we never were a burden to other park visitors.
EDIT --
The problem is that, because they stick in one large group, they develop a herd mentality and bad behavior. Cutting in lines, jamming counter service areas by saving multiple tables, and all-out general rudeness.
As mentioned above, the problems would be cut down if the tour group leaders would break the groups up into smaller units.

We don't mind the large groups in general. The issue is the non-stop chanting. It's obnoxious and rude. They do it on dark rides, in food courts, on buses/monorails, in attraction lines.. everywhere. Like others said, since they are in large groups they tend to get group mentality going with everyone being extremely rude, bumping into people, cutting lines, etc. I don't mind people having a great time. Even some of this behavior is fine.. their young. We've all been a little crazy at times. But, the chanting...it's extremely annoying.
I remember in 2001 they're we're about 10 large groups and each group chanted all day long. The first time I have ever seen Reflections of Earth we were at the front of the world showcase standing behind them and they were chanting so loud we didn't hear the narration or anything, the whole begining we thought we were just watching the same old Illuminations 25 and one of the barges exploded until the globe came out then we realized it was a whole new show LOL.

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.
If you haven't experienced them you don't know
I've encountered them, both in WDW and DLR, and in my experience 'they' are no ruder/different than most other people who believe that because they are on holiday they can be/say/do whatever they want.

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.
you must be lucky then as i have never had a good experience with them 30-40 kids in one large group has way more potential for aggravation than a couple of obnoxious people .
being stuck in a line with one idiot you can tune them out but a large group (brazillian or not) is way harder to ignore.
So...in my mind all your posts are in the voice of Sam the Eagle.

Hopefully with the my magic+ app on your smart phone there will be an "avoid irritating tour group" setting.

They're Argentinian, not Brazilian this week.
With any luck, you'll be able to see all their credit card info! Free swag in exchange for irritation. Disney thinks of everything.
