Top 10 WDW Guest Failures

[MrsWhiffo]

I can only think of 4.....

1.Major Fashion Faux Pas.....

"Honey you have no business in those hotpants" is a term I wanted to say a few times on my last visit!

2. Anybody Nom'ing on turkey legs...eww. (inc. my husband)

3. Offensive "Hicksville" t-shirt wearers

4. Kids in general, if I had my own way WDW would be banned to those under 18 Actually make that 25

 

[Sarabell]

Doesn't it? :lol: I'm really hoping most of the complaints here are people messing around and I hope the food picture people know I was joking. :lookaroun Then again, Disney World is serious business to some people.

I believe you don't need to worry. After all, one of the biggest food picture persons would have to shoot his own eye with a paper clip right? after all he's the one who suggested such a retaliation:ROFLOL:

 

[mouse_luv]

No. Just give him a quick call on his cell phone. Then again you could go with, I'm sorry the Owl is on his coffee break right now, he should be back in 15 minutes.

LOLOL! I love this. I'm usually the sarcastic person that makes a comment like that on a ride when someone comments on an Uncontrolled thing such as the owl.

I seriously spit my drink all over the place when I read this. :ROFLOL:

1. Dining coupon for Planet Hollywood
2. Merchandize coupon for Planet Hollywood
3. Discount on "Behind the Seeds" tour
4. Discount on marina rental when you stay at 90% of the resorts
5. Considering "Rafiki's Planet Watch" an attraction

 

[Camelot]

All of the gripes have merit, and in a perfect world, everyone would be on their best behavior, not be annoying, and all would be right with the (Disney) World. Yeah...good luck with that.

I don't know if I can put them in any order, but here are my 10 WDW Guest Failures:

-Stopping in the middle of a row/Not filling in all the available space. (It's unpatriotic.)
-Flash photography where prohibited. (Your picture probably won't turn out anyways.)
-Illegal Stroller Parking/Stroller Parking Etiquette (Would you park your car like that?)
-Overuse & Abuse of ECVs and Guest Assistance Cards (Be healthy and don't lie.)
-Line Jumping (1 or 2 is fine, 1 adult and 2 kids are fine, but anymore is rude.)
-"Show Avoidance Syndrome" (Just because it isn't a ride, doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable.)
-Lack of Research/Planning (The internet and guide maps are your friends.)
-Not Following Instructions (Supervise children, listen properly, and enjoy.)
-Lack of Patience (You share the park with everyone else, and Fastpass isn't always the answer.)
-Not Keeping Your Cool (Don't take out your anger on Cast Members and other guests.)

I'm a realist to know that EVERYONE, include YOU AND ME stop in the middle of paths, complain about various things, run when it starts raining, call something by the wrong name, and walk at various speeds. Children are naturally unpredictable and their behavior can't always be controlled. Teenagers will be annoying. Groups will clog walkways. People aren't going to be expert ECV drivers. But I think the points made above area honestly, the main failures of most guests. If I could add a bonus it would be people not being considerate to those around them. This would cover the kids on the shoulders during fireworks, the smoking in non-designated areas, the talking during an attraction, or using swear words around children.

Tough to ignore when they ruin your vision for the ride.

I find a strobe right in the eye of the offensive photographer gets the message across.

What really ruins the vision of a ride is all the people complaining about an attraction on WDWMagic and when I go on a Disney ride, all of the magic has left out of the ride and I'm always just looking at the negative things about each and every ride like. "Wow that AA isn't working right", "Why is that speaker buzzing? It should be fixed!", and soo much more... woooow... I need to take a break of WDWMagic for about.. idk, a year?

 

[WondersOfLife]

Wow, you know none of these complaints are going to change WDW. We can't make them replace SGE and JIIWF. We can't make Disney do anything unless someone lights it on fire. So what's the point in all these threads if you're just complaining all the time and having arguments if they're not going to get anywhere? Waist of time to me, I wait until 10:00 PM every day to complain because I'm bored. :shrug:

Look at your signature and you'll find the answer. Sometimes it is also nice to vent as well, and see if people have similar pet peeves.

It is amazing how much more irritating things become at the end of a weekend long trip when we are worn out.

[Ierino80]

My friends and I were waiting for Wishes. An obviously drunk man with his dozen children were sitting on the ground behind us. The mother asked us to "sit down" because they couldn't see. We said to them that you can't sit down and watch the fireworks. When the fireworks started, the man took one of his small children and threw them on his shoulders and stood directly in front of us blocking our view. Do people not know that fireworks are in the sky?

 

[WondersOfLife]

At least you didn't get the "Don't post in any more of my threads" treatment.


School MUST be out of session. :shrug:

Homeschooled. I do 2 math lessons a day, history, grammar, science, E.L.A., piano, drama, and art.. and finishing a month early for doing extra homework! :wave:

Perhaps they should have included a lesson plan on social interaction.

I think you're missing the point of WDW.

 

[goofntink]

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.

To add to #7)Complaining "It's been 20 minutes since the last bus", when you just spent 1 1/2 or longer all day waiting in lines for rides!!!!! :fork:

I guess the poster didn't visit until after she was 18. :lol:

 

[Nemo14]

Yes I'm one of those New Yorkers that Pumbas spoke so eloquently? of. No problem matching wits....

Well you are half right.

:ROFLOL:

:ROFLOL:

I must say that when I'm in WDW, for the most part nothing upsets me. Yes there are ignorant people who do ignorant things, but I don't let it get to me.

I think you're missing the point of WDW.

I think your'e missing the joke. I don't think she was serious.
