Night of Joy! Worst event I ever worked, I actually prefered grad night to this! Too many sheltered teens running amuck in the park! And one crazy wearing an "Abortion Kills Babies" t-shirt with a big picture of a bloody fetus on it who shoved me out of the way when I wouldn't let him in the TommorowLand theatre because we were over the fire code capacity. So of course since I have an awful sense of humor I fell to the ground and said, "I'm pregnant, you just killed my baby!" Not that he heard me or anything, but it still amused me.

Does this ever happen to any of you?
People you're with are in a bad mood, and they decide to take their cranky, tired, moody, whiny attitudes out on everyone in the group? And no matter what, you can't win?
You humor them, and they're irritated.
You try to have fun without them, and they're irritated.
You ignore them, and they're irritated.
You try and drag them into the fun, and they're irritated.
I just HATE that. I want to have a good time, and it ruins my day, no matter how hard I try to let it go.
But since my next trip got cancelled (I cried for two days), I'm now going with the fam, and we haven't gone together in over four years. I'm so happy - we hardly EVER fight in Disney!!! YAY!!:wave:

I agree with rude guests. Also, guests visiting from other countries who can't speak ONE WORD of English. How can you enjoy WDW without understanding basically everything the attractions are saying, singing, etc?! Maybe Epcot is ok for them to visit if their country is in World Showcase. I wouldn't go to another country without knowing SOME of their language. It's ignorant.

I HATE that. Shoving that in children's faces, in adults' faces. It's incredibly rude and revolting. Who wants to sit near someone wearing that at a restaurant? It's fine at a rally, because I don't have to be there, or look at it, but in public, it's disgraceful.
Also hate it when people smoke in line...there are places to go. You aren't stupid. Read the signs, go to the designated areas, and give yourself cancer there. I don't want to be a part of it.
On the flip side, as said above, I don't think non-smokers should go into smoking areas and complain. The sign clearly designates a smoking area. Don't go by it. Simple.
You make a break for it when they are not looking and go to another park, they are irritated but at least you don't have to deal with it any more.:lol:amykissangel said:

:lol: LOL...seriously, that would've been great! But then you get back to the hotel, and they're p.o'd because you ditched them...people are GREAT sometimes, aren't they? :lookaroun
Ahhhh my young padawan this is where you learn to switch the blame.amykissangel said:
"Why did you guys ditch me?"
"Us ditch you! We told you where we were going and next thing we knew you were no where to be found! We spent hours looking for you!. If you can't have the decency to tell the rest of us that you don't want to hang out with us then maybe you should do the rest of the trip solo!"

Oh I almost forgot, when you're sitting for over an hour waiting for a parade, then 5 minutes before it starts people try to squeeze next to/ in front of you. I do not tolerate that and I make them move.

There have been a million threads about rude or annoying guests at WDW.
As for the oft-mentioned Brazillian tour groups. Its not their ethnicity though (considering how many of those kids are blonde with blue eyes, you'd have to be non-white to be accused of rascism), its a just a cultural disconnect. For one thing, they're teenagers far away from home, and another, Brazillian culture celebrates the flamboyant and energetic, i think that they sometimes misinterpret the Disney spirit and think that its we Americans who don't "get it" and are just being fuddy duddies at WDW.
---
What about WDW itself that's annoying?
Honestly... i can't really think of anything major.
Attractions closing early, or opening late; or running seasonally.
Attraction break-downs... annoying, but there's nothing they can do about it.
DVC kiosks are annoying, but the staffers have a very non hard-sell approach. You can walk up to them and ask for directions without being pitched too... hmm, that's not as annoying as it COULD be then.
I'm trying to think of annoying policies. Once, i went with a friend who had some old park hoppers from a past year. one had 3 days left on it, the other had 1. The second day of our trip, we tried to "break off" a day from the 3 (now 2) day hopper but they wouldn't let us, they're non-transferable. That was annoying, and a bit nonsensical IMHO.

So, if I understand you correctly (and please correct me if I'm wrong) a deaf person could not enjoy WDW since he or she could not understand basically everything the attractions are "saying, singing, etc."
Also, if I am understanding you correctly, a person who visits one of the the world's most popular tourist destinations, but does not know your language is ignorant?
See, pluto, visiting WDW is not a privilege because speaking the predominant language is a prerequisite. It is a privilege because those who work at and for WDW have a strong commitment to providing a unique atmosphere which celebrates creativity, fantasy, education, youth and DIVERSITY. Of course the financial cost of providing such an experience will necessarily prevent those not as fortunate as you and me from visiting on a regular basis. But that is beside the point. The point is that if someone from another country wishes to spend their hard earned money to visit the Happiest Place on Earth, certainly, this does not make someone ignorant.
Speaking of ignorant. To the person who singled out "south American" individuals with strollers: I believe you that you are not a racisit. However, I also believe that you have a penchant for stereotyping.
As far as staying on track, the most annoying thing about WDW is that they don't allow you to keep the 3D glasses. But I do love the chips at the Rose and Crown!

Well, in your story about the rude lady, i honestly couldn't tell who was talking or doing what action. Could you edit it, and put in quotes and punctuation please? thankscdunbar said:no I am not related to her, and your quite rude! Ready and breath~
Alot of people on message boards try to write out what they'd say in "real life", but you have to remember that when writing, using comas and periods is the equivalent of pauses or inflection.
(i've decided from the skaterchiq thread that i'm done launching into tirades or mocking, i'm going to try to politely suggest that people edit their posts for legibility from now on)

And they have all the right to complain if someone from another country called them a bad word in their language, or as stated above was obnoxious and started going postal with their strollers. Sorry, but I'm not going to allow someone call me "guero" just because he can't wait a extra five minutes in line.

I'm not saying people should not be offended by the inconsiderate acts of others. But it's unfair to call out "South Americans with their strollers" if you're referring to one person.
You must have misunderstood.
Oh also at MGM Tower of Terror I had to wait in line with a whole group of choir kids singing and chanting and clapping. It really ruined the atmosphere. Also sure enough I ended on the same elevator. Oh well it was a one time deal. Man they could scream loud though.:brick:
