I witnessed some stupid guest tricks yesterday at MK

I've been lurking for some time, and decided to register today. I saw some stupid guest tricks yesterday that I'd like to share.

We were at MK yesterday.

In line to see Buzz Lightyear. There was a group in front of us with 6 kids and 4 adults. The children were very well behaved waiting in line as were the adults. As Buzz approached these people became crazy. They sent all 6 boys up for pics. Then they proceeded to take every possible combination of child possible. From there they started to have the kids pose in different poses. The poor handler was trying to get things under control, trying to move them along. These guests just would not listen. They acted like they didn't understand her. Heck, they figured they paid the money to get into the park, they were going to take their good old time with Buzz. It was owed to them. By this point even the kids had enough photo taking and started to attack Buzz. One was trying to wrip off his hand, another hitting him. It was mass chaos. The handler literally had to peel the boy's hand off Buzz's. The parents did not stop their kids, they thought it was cute. It was crazy. Some how she managed to get the kids off Buzz AND the parents moving along.

In line at POTC attraction, more crazy people in front of us. Kids were behaving terribly and the parents were videotaping the stupidity. We went in the right line. You know where there is a platform with a cannon in it? Well the family in front of us had everyone sit on the platform for pictures. Then the kids in the family behind us jumped up there to play with it. The line was moving slowly enough that we were there for quite some time. The one kid had to try everything to see if it was bolted down. He was like a monkey jumping from one thing to another and hanging on things. Not a word from the parents. As the line progressed, the kid I last mentioned found steps and started to remove the rope and climb up them to see what was there. Again, the parents let him go. The line moved so he got off the steps and back in line. Again there were more steps so he removed the rope and climbed up them. The queue never seemed so long for POTC as yesterday's.


A bit about myself...As you can tell by my title I'm an AP holder, before you become biased and hate me from the start, let me say that I am a kind, generous Disney enthusiast. I am also a pin collector...gasp! Not to worry, I only collect sparkly Tink pins, I have not ripped at the lanyard around your neck, and I have not bothered you when you were busy doing 10 things at once. I have enjoyed the magic that you have bestowed upon my family and I while we are visiting WDW, which we do frequently. You probably have seen me often and would remember my toddler as he loves to greet you as he enters and exits any area and always says "thank much" with a huge smile on his face.

I read that, and already knew what was coming. Guess i can predict guest stupidness huh? ;) . I would have given those kids the death glare more then likely...thankfully, i havent seen people do that in all the times ive been on Pirates.

Just wanted to let you know something. I was one of the attendants with Buzz yesterday.

:) You both dealt with the situation very well, discreetly and quietly. I don't know how you were able to keep patient with this family. They were extemely rude to both of you, Buzz, and the guests in line. My dh was starting to lose his patience with them, and began making comments. He was standing directly behind the people in their group taking pics.

Oh, you get used to it after awhile. Luckily, I haven't gotten any guests bad to the point where I have had to remove the character. It mostly has been just plain rudeness. *knock on wood*

Stop knocking on the heads of stupid guests, lol.


Woot nice to see a hero here, hug to my heroine.

Yeah, kick em in the ass instead.

[joanna71985]

Yeah, kick em in the ass instead.

Hah, I wish that I could do that.

[mechurchlady]

Churchy steals CM handbooks and reads them.

Joanna where does it say kick ass is not allowed but hitting us stupid guests on the head is? You just got to work on your accidental guest whacking.

Joanna: Opps sorry to hit you with that broom!

Yesterday as a guest at MGM I overheard two really stupid comments:

lady: You don't look so good, you ok?
man on bench: Yea, just recovering from the roller coaster
lady: Oh the Himalayan.
(my mind starts to think of the ride I use to go on at Hershey Park than spun in a circle, that would make me green)
man: no, not that one, the Aerosmith one
lady: Oh, so are you going to skip the Himalayan?
(wrong park lady, EE is at AK)


kid: (lists all the things he wants to do today) and millionaire
mom: Millionaire isn't listed on this times guide. I have to pick up another guide to see what time it is. (As they walk by times board) It's not listed here either.

Duh! I start to open my mouth, but dh makes me shush.

My hero from yesteday is James at Studio Catering. He rocks! What's the best way to get him recognized? The guest service contact form on the computer or direct letter?
