My DS9 and I both have our own high 4 gloves, although we usually just wear 1 each for rope drop because 2 sets is a lot to carry around. High 4's are for everyone!

10 years ago on POC my uncle was getting in when the op closed the gates on him. He got wedged in between the gates and lost his glasses into the water (free 1 day pass)
This year my dad got the Frozen fireworks at MGM (i don't care what it is now. Always will be MGM to me) Required an ER trip and the cabbie couldn't accept the cab card from Disney. I had to go argue at the front desk at 230 AM for them to pay it. I eventually had to pay the Driver and give him and bigger tip for waiting. (Still don't know what were gonna try and get from GR). Oh yeah. 3 other people were at the ER the same night because of the fireworks.
Then last year was the best/worst. A mom and teenage daughter tried to run up to the front of HM line right before the stretch room. I decided I wouldn't let them through (I eternally hate line jumpers). They asked if they could just pass me and my fam but I said no. They replied begging but I told them to go to the back. They said their party had been waiting for 30 mins so I said I did too. The family comes back and the dad was telling me how they were his family. I reply with my smart-a** comment saying my family Is right there. And they're part of my family too. Woah we both have families what a shock. They just ask why I wouldn't let them through. I said they were line jumpers and it's wrong. I added how the people behind me were too nice to stop them but I'm a jerk so they needed to get to the back of the line. A CM eventually comes and sends them back. I recieve high fives from the people behind me. The girl who was stopped yells "I HATE YOU!!" I just smile back at her laughing. A group of teenagers behind us flip her off. I stand with my mouth open in shock and I was holding my laughter. I reached back as gave them all high fives

It must have been a bad year because we have gone for Thanksgiving the last five years and it was crowded but no worse than a typical summer crowd. I have even done the unthinkable and gone to MK on Thanksgiving day and it was fine.

It happens every time they make you enter or leave through the backstage area on Main Street. Happens often these days.

Agreed, I have actually left money for a tip laying out for mousekeeping before and forgot to leave a note saying it was for housekeeping and they did not touch the money.

That reminded me of an incident at Sci-Fi one time. I was traveling alone (as usual) and I went in for lunch. They seated me and honestly I waited for about a half hour and no one took my order. I finally was able to get someones attention and told her that no one had taken my order yet. She took it and as she was leaving the meal for the group in front of me arrived at their table. (they got there after I did) Anyway, I finally got my order and by then the group in the booth in front were just about finished. Just then the waitress brought me my bill. It was over $100.00 and all I had was a hamburger and ice tea. I called her back, as soon as I could get her attention again, and asked why I was being charged that much for a hamburger. She said that she assumed that I was paying for the 'table up front'. I couldn't help myself, I had to ask why. I was sitting way behind them, I hadn't spoken a single word to them in the form of conversation. As it turned out, they hadn't brought me any ketchup for my fries and I had asked them if they were done with their bottle. The waitress apparently saw that, and assumed that I was with them and that, for some reason, I was paying for everyone.
Except for the wait, it wasn't a terrible experience, just very strange. It got straightened out eventually, but, wasted a lot of my day to just have lunch. BTW, I hated those car themed booths. Way to small and uncomfortable.

The only unmagical time I can think of has nothing to do with parks and everything with transportation and other guests.
We have all been there after the fireworks, midday parade, etc. You are tired, I'm tired, your kids, my kids, grandma, we all are going the same place. The bus/monorail arrives and suddenly it's the 1990's running of the bulls all over as you battering ram your stroller, yell for the bus driver that grandmas rascal HAS TO GET ON FIRST!
It just seems more and more rare that common sense takes over and people line up in the order they got there, knowing full well that sooner or later they will be back at their hotel. Instead it seems like once or twice a trip we get stuck with the people below.

@ChimneySweep49 I can understand, last year......New Year's Eve.......able to eat 1 hour and a half after reservations at Crystal Palace.....phones dead.....Tangled charging station filled up by noon.....no where to walk. Still had a fun time though.

You forgot the Tiki Room. I respectfully disagree about Splash and Space. They are both great attractions, but they came after Walt's death. Peter Pan's Flight is pure sentimental joy, which is why I make it a priority to ride it at least twice during every trip. The point is that Disney should be assigning the cream of the crop cast members to work the Fantasyland rides, and not some grouchy *#@! who belongs on International Drive.

Found a spot nice and early for Wishes, left of the hub, next to the tracks, behind the tape, so no one can stand in front of us. Sat there for about 10 minutes while a CM right in front of us directed traffic along the designated pathways. Another CM comes by and tells us to move because we were within the pathway (designated by the line parallel to the rails). There was some discussion between the two CMs as to which was the actual boundary, the rail or the line parallel. Since that was the last "front" spot for that particular section, we had to move behind another group. After another half hour or so, the same CM changed the boundaries again to accommodate the swelling crowds which, of course, extended to our original spot and was promptly granted to another group. Not fair at all.

I feel like I've told this story on here before, but I'm not relevant enough for anyone to remember, so I'll tell it again. On my first trip in 2005, a few people (one on a scooter) were standing near Kali, getting their fastpasses out to use. They weren't ready to get on line. They were taking their time, which isn't bad, but don't keep others from getting in line. My family was ready, so we went to get in the fastpass line. Well, they didn't like that and started arguing with my parents (I was seven, so obviously I wasn't instigating anything, just standing there awkwardly haha) about our 'cutting them', even though they weren't in line, and were still getting ready.Well the woman in the scooter tried to run me over. My parents grabbed me out of the way, thankfully, because I didn't want to get run over by a scooter. What's funny is that those people still weren't ready after the argument, as we didn't wait near them or get on the same raft as them. Some people are just looking to start fights.
All that being said, this is being told from my memory from almost a decade ago, so I honestly have no clue what my parents said to them. I wouldn't be shocked if my parents did say something they shouldn't have, because they don't have the best filter in the world. (Don't worry. Now that I'm older, I make them be more polite, because I'm always afraid of looking like I'm a bad person because their actions reflect on me...) Nevertheless, it doesn't justify trying to injure a seven year old. Go for the offenders (joking).

No, I didn't forget Tiki Room. I don't hold it in any type of esteem, despite its age. PPF is not a 'great' attraction. Splash is - regardless of whether or not Walt's hands laid on it. Is PPF a 'classic'? Of course. But I wouldn't even put it in the Top 10 attractions on property.

It's funny how a place with so many rude and disrespectful people can still be special to so many. I can write a book about clueless parents, entitled scooter riders, and selfish jerks, but I still want to go back. I guess I just learn to accept it.
My unmagical moment came a couple years back when we decided to splurge and go for a moderate resort. We stayed in POFQ in late Feb. The bus stop consisted of two covered areas with each one serving multiple parks. Well, people would gather up in random areas not knowing what bus anyone else was waiting for until the bus rounded the corner. Then, it was a free-for-all. People who had just walked up would rush right up to the loading spot and force their way on. While I'm not afraid to voice my opinion, it got old having to speak up and tell these selfish jerks to wait their turns over the course of the week.

....That time when my family and I arrived at DisneyQuest with prepaid tickets, and they let us in even though it was less than an hour till closing, didn't warn us that they were closing, and refused to do anything about my wasted money on those tickets!
