Sounds like an experience I had in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The hotel room next to my was full of Japan Airlines stews that apparently were practicing their karate until 2 AM.
I saw them the next morning in the lobby. I asked them if they had gotten their wrestling practice in. Red faces all around and even some bowing.

Ugh! I really am annoyed with the tour groups. They are totally horrible when it comes to the characters.

We saw a lot at AK today and for the most part they were under control. There was some minor chanting on EE, but on a roller coaster I figure chanting, screaming, etc. is appropriate. I rode as a single next to a female chaperone and she was trying to polite and explain to me through gestures that I might lose my sunglasses (they were hanging from the neck of my shirt). They were traveling in huge packs as usual but mostly not blocking the whole pathway. Much better behaved than the ones I've run into in Epcot recently.

We were at Epcot today and MK yesterday and heard plenty of clapping and chanting (worst place was Hall of Presidents, second worst was the stretching room and Test Track was no picnic). At Illuminations on Friday night, they had opened a place I'd never noticed before right in front of the shops at the entrance to WS and put many of them there, plenty of noise!
They seem as obnoxious as last year, but maybe not quite so much running without looking. Although I did nearly get pushed over in my scooter by one girl, who then (just like a pinball) bumped off of me and into a little boy who had a BIG father that gave her what for. My DH put his two cents in as well (he speaks fair Portuguese) and when he left the kid's father was still going - no tour guide in sight. If my ankle wasn't still swollen from where she banged it into my scooter, I might feel sorry for her.

The College Program gets them too. Nothing like ending up on a bus with 60 drunk CP Brasilians. Can't say it wasn't fun when I was wasted anyhow.

Shhhh... don't tip them off -- they might come visit! (Especially now that the Flats have been here and posted their report, it's bound to become an international vacation destination!) :D:

Would you like one or two of them. They bring great joy (or pain) to your area. :D:

I have been driving at DTD the last couple of weeks and they have been horrible. If one of then gets on a bus, they all have to, no matter how full it is. They have been sitting, standing, etc on other guests, pushing their way onto all ready full buses and then getting mad and very loud when they get asked to get back off.
Other guests have been very upset at wait times due to the large groups "commendering" the available buses to the All Stars. Last night, a group demanded to be taken right to PI instead of the Marketplace. Security did nothing.

Should have taken them to Sea World.
