I had my first and only issue with a CM on our trip from last week.
My wife who has been to WDW 6 times prior had never seen Beauty and the Beast Live show in DHS due to a variety of reason. She has always gone Christmas time so there was generally a xmas show there. Anyways, my kids and I decided to surprise her and planned on Sunday to go to the 5:45 showing.
We did Star Tours @ 5 with a 10 minute wait (thinking we had plenty of time) but it turned out MUCH longer so we ended up getting off ST @ 5:40. My wife as waiting for us since she doesn't do ST so I said "let's go" and started walking. We walked very quickly to get there and as we approached my kids and I had to use the restroom badly. We told her her surprise which made her very happy and said to go in and save 3 seats and we would be right there since we used the bathrooms next to ToT.
When we headed up the ramp they had it roped off as it was @ capacity. I told the CM that my wife was in there and saving seats as we had to use the restrooms. She said, "sorry, it's full. You can't go in." I said to her that we had seats saved and she said it doesn't matter unless we had "blue cards" to get back in and basically called me a liar cuz she said "they hear that all the time". I even showed her the text my wife sent telling us where she was. This CM was the biggest bi&ch I have ever dealt with and basically told me I was S-O-L. I texted my wife telling her what was going on and she came down towards us. The witch of a CM and another moron CM who now was doing nothing to help saw her and didn't say a damn thing. They STILL would not let us go in. I NEVER lose my temper in public or cause a scene so when I went up one side of her and down the other, my kids were shocked. She never apologized or offered a solution and was just being an outright bi&ch.
I abruptly walked to Guest Services and they also did absolutely nothing other than offer us VIP seating to one of the shows on the Friday we were going to be there. The guy there barely offered an apology as well.
I was livid and angry for the better part of an hour after. I have never had any experience like this in WDW in the 4 times I've been there nor had my wife in her 7 times. I've only had a couple of mediocre experiences with CMs in the past and this trip so this was infuriating as I wasn't even asking for anything special........just to get in and watch the show with my wife.
We didnt use the VIP on Friday as we went to an earlier show that suited our schedule better but did get to have my wife see the show.
No caps on don't understand your reply?
Once when getting in line for the... (can't remember the name) rafting in AK, these people were getting out their fast passes or something just standing there. So my parents say to go in front of them because they're not ready. I agreed, because they weren't in line. Yeah well, one had an electric scooter and tried to run over my foot *______*. Really, lady? Is it worth it? We would have sued her if I didn't run out of the way.

My worst Disney experience was not Disney's fault at all. I used to take my children to both DL and WDW once a year from the time they were 8, 10, and 12 until they started graduating high school. My youngest daughter especially loved Disney, and was well on her way to becoming obsessed like her mother! Unfortunately, when she was in high school she became ill, and was diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder with paranoia/hallucinations (as my husband was, who had committed suicide when she was 8). We spent the next several years in and out of hospitals, trying to find the right combination of medication that would allow her to lead a somewhat normal life. In Aug. of 2010, we decided to try a trip to WDW to celebrate her 21st birthday and my 50th birthday. She was so excited and helped me plan every aspect of our trip. My new DH and I had been there for a quick trip in 2004, but she hadn't been there since 2002. Well, we arrived at the MK and had to go right to our lunch ressie at Liberty Tree Tavern. I noticed she was very quiet during lunch. When we left the restaurant, she said she wanted to go to our room. The crowds were making her nervous. I tried to talk her down, but I could see the panic rising, and wanted to avoid a panic attack. So we left the MK without riding any rides!! I remember walking out looking at the castle with tears in my eyes, thinking "I've waited so long to be here - I can't believe I'm leaving right now!!" We spent most of the week hanging out in our room at POP. We were able to get her to go on a few rides if we got to the parks first thing when the crowds were light and we could walk right on to a ride. But if we had to wait in any kind of line, she would start to panic, and we'd have to leave. She didn't feel comfortable staying in our room alone for more than a few minutes, so my DH and I couldn't even go to the parks without her. It was absolute torture being so close to my beloved place and not be able to enjoy it, not to mention the money we spent on the whole vacation (that we really had to scrape together during these hard times) just to hang out in the room. And, it was very painful watching my daughter panic in a place that used to bring he so much joy. I did more crying during that trip, and they were not the usual happy tears! This year, we have someone staying with her at home, and my DH and I are going to rekindle the magic in 26 days!! I can't tell you how excited we are!!
once at hollywood brown derby my coffee was 180 degrees, i prefer it to be 190. Can you believe it?? At the prices they charge.
Font is rather big..don't you think?
We were at the Magic Kingdom two weeks ago for MNSSHP and waiting to watch the Villain's Mix and Mingle. A lot of people where sitting down and we joined them near the back. As the show began a man over six foot tall moves over to the center area to watch, standing beside his five foot nothing wife, blocking the view of everyone. A lady kindly asked him ti duck down and he replied loudly "if the kids want to see then they can stand up!" really!?!?! Apparently he didn't get his sprinkle of pixie dust. Everyone moved to the left or right. After the show people were commently loudly toward him and he looked at them with a scow on his face. He did get hit in the back with a Now and Later. Totally undisney like rude dude!

So just because someone is tall that means they should always stand in the back. Almost sounds like a racist remark to me.
