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.
