the one that irks me the most is "oh, excuse me my group is up there" so they can cut in line, i know this is an offense to the rules, but am clueless as to what to do about it besides complain loudly
My biggest pet peeve is people who insist on snapping their gum with every bite down they take. That, and people who have to let the whole world know they're yawning like a lion roaring. Cover your mouth, and you don't have to bellow out and make a big scene while you're doing it. We're all in line in a confined space and stuck together for at least an hour or more. Have some courtesy! You're not at home!!!
in all my years of going to Disneyworld I have seen a lot of line skipping but have never seen a castmember do anything about it. even when they were told about it
I visited in February of 2016. We were leaving Magic Kingdom and were the first ones on the bus back to our resort. Then a group of teen girls from South America filed onto the bus--about 50 of them, and their 2 chaperones. They decided to SING all the way back to the All-Star resort area.
I have been going to WDW for 16 years and never once have I seen anybody get in trouble for skipping in line
Disneyphiles- They will without being prompted ask you "How many times you've been to Disney". No matter your answer they will have been more, then they proceed to tell you everything your doing wrong with your trip, how Disney has "lost the magic", and if the Company would just listen to their suggestions the Parks would be better for everybody.
And God help you when/if those folks realize that you're a CM.
I don't think it necessarily bad to have a little bit of food in line. Once I was behind a Dad who had a box of Willy Wonka Nerds, and he was handing it out to his kids, and he turned around and gave me some! I was glad to accept his offer!
I differ with that opinion. We will be at Disney next week with a grandson with severe food allergies. I have seen families open up picnic lunches in the long line for the Jungle Cruise. That is a very enclosed area and if someone was eating a peanutbutter sandwich it could be fatal. Please don't tell us to leave him at home. He is very excited about the trip and the first time back to Disney since he was here with Give the Kids the World over 10 years ago. Everyone should be able to enjoy Disney World.
Thanks for the info! I'm not very much informed about food allergies, so I needed to know that. Your grandson should indeed be free to enjoy a trip at Disney! What about drinks? I usually have a resealable bottle with me as I'm continually thirsty and have gotten dehydrated a couple of times before. I don't want to get sick, but I am also concerned about people like your grandson.
in all of my times at Disney, I have yet to see them do anything about line jumpers!!! I'm not talking about a mom who had to take a kid to the bathroom rejoining her family, especially when the line board is wrong , and the wait is actually longer. I'm referring to random groups of teens ( or even families who rudely pretend to not understand English when they are pushing their way through!
I do not care for the people that belittle the cast members or others. I also do not care for those that belittle things about Walt Disney World. If you can not be nice, take your business elsewhere.
Another one missed would be, standing in line with group of teenagers, school class from a Spanish speaking country. They are load talkers.
The parent(s) that feel, because they came to the parade later than you, that their child has a right to come the front and stand to see the parade. Squeezing you over or stepping on you. I know the parades are especially for the little ones but you lack of panning does not constitute me to babysit your child!! just last week my granddaughter and I sat on a sttop in front of Peco Bills ( asked permission if we could sit there) and waited 45 mins for the parade. 20 mins before it started this little boy ( maybe 5?) stepped up and started to assert himself into our space. I looked around and I believe I saw his parents about f people back looking over to him!! They did not as us if we minded, they certainly were not near by to keep him form stepping into the parade route, which he did. I was (by instinct) telling him to step back several times!! This is your child, not mine! but the guy next to me could be a pedophile, but you are to far away to know what is happening..
I think the ideal way to solve the line cutting problem to have an extra Cast Member mid-line. Especially on Soarin' where there are no clear lanes, people will not move because they're sitting down because they're tired of standing.....THEY ARE TEENAGERS. And then of course, this leaves plenty of room for 2 or 3 of them to walk right past you in line and say..."My Mom and Dad are waiting for us "up there". Rude is not even the word for it, but, rudeness DOES begin at home. Again, some people come to Disney with a list of entitlements. #9
THe worst is guests play fighting in line.
Think father poking children then getting mad they poke back.
Think inattentive parents ignoring siblings smacking and picking each other for 30 minutes then scolding them only to hear "we weren't doing anything".
These offenders always make others around them uncomfortable as well as taking up more than their share of space dodging hits, slaps, tickles and pinches.
