Top 10 WDW Guest Failures

[TiggersPooh]

I prefer only having one person from a tour group getting fastpasses for the entire group! It is much easier to assist that guest...make a stack of tickets where the fastpass didnt print and at the end take care of all of the missing fastpass tickets.

All attractions have multiple machines...if you get stuck behind someone with a lot of tickets move to another machine.

What's with the recent trend of "Top 10 Fail" posts?

 

[Tigger1988]

Yes. You make it sound as if the return times will be unreasonably different. It will be within a few minutes and they'll still be able to return at the same time. They honor them late anyway. Don't be ridiculous. We all know how Fast Pass works.

Getting 20 at a time is obnoxious, rude, and holds up the line. Not all 20 people need to stay glued at the hip either. That's another complaint and I've said before that big groups can ruin shows/rides. When people get into big groups, they are obnoxious.

The only one being ridiculous is you. The group is already doing you a favor by having one person waiting in line as opposed to several people. If it's just "a few minutes" you don't have anything to complain about eh?

All attractions have multiple machines...if you get stuck behind someone with a lot of tickets move to another machine.

Pretty much, I've done this plenty of times.

 

[thewhitequeen]

People who let their kids relieve themselves (the other word xx'd out) in the bushes rather than go to the restroom.

Guests behaving badly. ( this includes special groups)

What is your list of failures for guests, including the themes people complain about on this board?

This is all in good fun, please. No flaming or getting bent out of shape. I just think we are so hard on WDW, what could we do better and do we recognize our own failures?

My Top 10:

10) Slow walkers that walk in the middle of the street and stop suddenly to look at something. Stopping to talk in line and not keeping it moving.

9) People that think their kids are the only people there or their kid matters more than another person. This includes letting kids cut in front of you, parents raising them on their shoulders to block your view, parents letting their kids run wild and run into other guests, stopping rides to take pictures (see this a lot on Snow White and Pooh), etc.

8) Fast Pass hogs (getting 20 for the entire Brazilian group at one time)

7) Complainers - Too hot, too cold, too boring.

6) Walking 5+ people across and blocking the pathway with your enormous party. Really?

5) People that leave fireworks early to "beat the crowds" and end up missing the best part.

4) People that can't appreciate non-thrill seeking rides or enjoy an attraction for what it's supposed to be. I can't tell you how many times i've heard Spaceship Earth is "boring" or that there aren't enough rollercoasters.

3) The Phd in all subjects Disney. Disney can't do anything right for these people. The lines are configured incorrectly. The buses don't run often enough. The food is bad. The rides are subpar. The seating areas are not big enough. The lines move too slowly. This person could optimize everything to make it better.

2) Flash pictures on dark rides (Pirates, HM, Small World, etc).

1) The people that talk as though they could run an $80b company better.

My list is about the same as yours, except that I'd put the bratty kids right up there at number 1 along with the bratty adults who think that this is "their" place and litter.
2) Flash pictures.. listen there is a REASON that no flash is allowed, besides ruining the mood, it disrupts the animatronics, or so I have heard from people who deal with these things.
3) Slobs, people who figure that they don't need to treat the parks like they do their lawns and homes. Come on would you leave your garbage lying around like that at home?
4) the KNOW IT ALLS, I've worked for Disney, Studied Disney and still learn things every time I visit Disney, so please, if you don't know do me a favor and don't spout off.
5)road hogs, whether on the rides, on the walkways or on the road, Move it or lose it, and don't hide behind the 6+stroller and kid parade, keep your kids in the strollers and no more than two abreast, it makes it nice for everyone.
6)I enjoy the people watching, but really ladies and gentlemen, do you have to dress like a teenager when you should know better? I have no objection to slightly too tight shirts and shorts, but honestly some people should look in the mirror before they leave the room.
7) screaming kids, and the parents who allow the temper tantrums should be locked in a room together and may the best man win.
8) attitude attitude attitude, not on my time please, you want to act like a diva, fine, but do it in the privacy of your room not in public.
9) kids on the run in the restaurants, how the servers don't break a leg or arm is amazing, because the parents are too busy to mind the kids. HEY PARENTS, the servers are not the baby sitters, if you want some alone time, hire a babysitter, ( every resort has them ).
and finally
10) FOLLOW THE RULES, they are there for a reason, and generally are NOT suggestions.

there, now that I've ranted I can go back to WDW and enjoy :wave::brick:

I shouldn't be laughing, but I am. :lol:

 

[ChristianG]

How about the lady that called 911 during The Summer Nightastic Fireworks because she thought the castle was on fire?

 

[Chef Mickey]

The only one being ridiculous is you. The group is already doing you a favor by having one person waiting in line as opposed to several people. If it's just "a few minutes" you don't have anything to complain about eh?


Pretty much, I've done this plenty of times.

I'll agree to disagree. For what it's worth, the few minutes I mentioned was referring to the difference in the fast pass return times if the person would get back in line to get the rest of them. To me, it's obnoxious, but everyone is different. It's like saying not punching someone in the face is doing them a favor. One is worse than the other, but hogging a fast pass machine is still rude. Like I said, 5 at a time. Common courtesy isn't a favor to me.

It's kind of like doing self checkout at the grocery store with 100 items (my store doesn't have a posted limit). It's not against the rules, but it's rude and bad manners.

But honestly, I can see your point and will admit I'm hard to please. I just don't agree.

 

[tink2044]

Autograph books. Family takes picture with character and then each child has autorgraph book for the character to sign. Should be a special line and character for the autograph people.

 

[DisneyWorldDork]

10. People who think that when they are in Epcot that they left Disney even though they used their Disney ticket to get in

9. People who complain that there are too many people in the parks in the middle of spring break or summer

8. People who think that Pirates of the Carribbean is based on the Movie

7. People who talk during Pre-Show movies and then get mad when you shhh them

6. People who have to film EVERYTHING

5. People who bring new borns to disney world and then get upset when they can't ride anything (they get in free for a reason)

4. People who don't read signs and then get upset because a CM didn't read the sign to them

3. People with strollers even though their kids are old enough to walk and then take up the entire side walk

2. People who think they are more important then everyone else around and feel they should get special treatment because "I paid a lot to be here."

1. People who think that everyone in wheelchairs are either "Faking it" or "Lazy," Complain about how they get special enterences, or don't notice them when they are watching the Fireworks or Castle shows and stand right in front of them and then get upset when their son asks them to move so that their Mom with MS can enjoy the show like everyone else! **THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST THING PEOPLE DO AT WDW, and what makes it worse is when CM's stand there and don't do anything about it .......

......sorry, as you can tell that last one really upsets me.

 

[Dwarful]

1. People who show up for parades 5 minutes before it starts and expects to squeeze their family into that 1 inch gap next to or in front of you.

2. People who wait until the bus is loading to start emptying their strollers.

3. People who push & shove to get seated at a show early only to stop mid way in the row making 30+ other people climb over their sweaty, stinky bodies.

4. People who think they have to be right on top of you in line...please will a few inches really make that much difference???

 

[DisneyWorldDork]

Oh and one more....

My friends and I sit on a curb in main street 15/20 minutes before a parade is about to start, a mother comes up to us 5 minutes before the parade is about to start and expects us to move for her kid just because we are a group of college students and "shouldn't be here"....

 

[WDITrent]

People who don't know how to use finger scanners and people who stand right in front of the entrance to a stand by line, convinced that it's the best place to stop and think about what they should do next.

 

[lbrad]

Autograph books. Family takes picture with character and then each child has autorgraph book for the character to sign. Should be a special line and character for the autograph people.

YES... I sooo agree!
I just want a picture :brick:

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

You and Jimmy Thick should start a sub-board entitled "Thick and Pumbas Board of Attention Seeking."

Thanks for noticing Captain Cliché. Have you noted that Jimmy and I are never on the same thread.... Do do do do do do .

But somewhat ironic on a thread where you have mouthed off with your own prejudices. Or are you menopausal?

 

[Spike-in-Berlin]

Those are the same people that say they're going to Florida, and are going to Disney World, Universal and Epcot. Or that call Disney World "The Happiest Place on Earth."

Even at the Simpsons they got that wrong in the Episode where Skinner wants to marry Edna, "Special Edna", season 14. They show EPCOT as a separate Park, called EFCOT, being not a part of Disney World.

 

[Susan Savia]

. People who lift their kid onto their shoulders at a parade blocking people from behind from being able to see.

. People who wait til the last minute to find a 'good' spot to see the parade and decide to push in between you and your family member(s) when you've been there waiting for two hours, or shove their kid up in front of you then themselves try and squeeze thru to be with their kid.

. 3 or 4 people who walk along all spread out so folks coming up behind cant pass.

. Big backpacks folks wear crammed full and everytime they turn around they smack into you.

. HUGE people riding ECVs, with a kid onboard too.

. Line cutters, with friends 'that gotta catch up to their families' which you know don't exist.

. People who refuse to 'move all the way across the row before stopping'.

. 10 year olds riding in strollers.

. People who STOP in the middle of a walkway to discuss plans for lunch or the next ride. Why not move out of the way? How simple would that be?

. People who are busy talking or texting or whatever and don't see that the line before them has moved, holding it up.

I could go on....

 

[Spike-in-Berlin]

10. Every kind of littering. I just cannot understand people who don't use litterboxes and throw their litter into the beautifully themed green areas or on the streets.
9. Tour groups in general in the case they believe their group status includes some special liberties not available to smaller groups, families, couples and single travellers, including shouting and other annoying behaviour on rides and elsewhere.
8. Generally all parents that let their kids run wild or let them shout at the top of their lungs, don't caring if other guests are annoyed.
7. People who talk or shout when you are watching Wishes from the beach of the Polynesian.
6. Brazilian tour groups in particular (they are really special, just not the way they believe they are)
5. People who don't know or understand how Fastpass works, but complain about others who use it.
4. People who treat the parks like their own backyard and dress exactly like they were there.
3. People who treat CMs like subordinates, servants, without any respect whatsoever because they ONCE in a year want to shout at other people instead of being shouted at ("Hey I paid for this!"). Treat CMs with the same respect, they show to you, they are a vital part of the magic.
2. People who spoil rides and shows by using flash fotography, shouting or screaming loudly all the way, standing up, leaving the vehicles, talking etc.
1. People who try to cut lines.
