Stupid Guest Tricks

I swear the rudest guests come to the parks on the holidays. People with no manners, and on the me, me, me mentality.

No matter how many times you tell people to keep their party together I swear it is as if you give them encouragement to separate, and then they have the audacity to be angry that you can't put them together. This large Hispanic group decides at parade time one part is going to wait in line while the other one goes and sees the parade. Over at the princess area there is very little wait at that time. What happens? When the parade ends one family ends up in one area and the other in another different area. Now they are screaming because they want to be together. They call one of us and ask in front of little children 'do you have another place?' I told him no. He insists that his wife is with some other royalty. Which I reply that I have no idea what they are talking about and turn around and walk away. The guy went asking at least three other CM once he was practically forced to leave. All to see if someone would give him an different answer, since nobody did, apparently it was a good time to pull out the 'are you calling me a liar' To which someone apparently replied "Well sir I would be lying if I knew what you are talking about. Since I don't, I can't tell you something I don't know. It's not about you."

Then in the mickey area we had some guests that decided let's open the door and find my husband. Which btw got put in another area. Thank God the attendant was not loading other areas. Then she insists that she's going to wait for him because they have to come thru there. He never does and then proceeds to a yell at us, when the characters need a moment and we tell her she has to exit the room.

Then we had a guy whose wife had to go to the bathroom. Despite meeting at least three CM along the way they don't tell anyone so we can make arrangements to have them be together. Instead of waiting to the side he goes in and now his wife is in the fast pass stuck behind other people. The princesses need a brief moment and we are not loading anyone. When he realizes it's his turn he wants us to bring her in from the FP line. We realize she's in the other area and now we really can't. We explain to him that no more people will be added to the area and he just doesn't care. 'well it's just her just bring her in and let the other people wait'. Yes I forget that because you are sooo special we'll have you skip ahead of other people. He left saying how he wasn't happy his wife had missed this and we were at fault. I love that the other attendant told him "I'm sorry sir, that is why we encourage guests to keep their party together and if you have a situation like that to let someone know. We can't help you if you don't tell one of us."

I wish we had some guests like last week when there was some sort of sanity going around and they would tell us. In more than one occasion someone was doing the dance. In those cases we gladly put them aside. When they come back the person in front brought the rest of the people and they all go happily on their way. Keep it together people!

Not only can't they not keep it together but when things don't go their way they are also rude. I had one of the lousiest thanksgiving, which made my day a lot harder. I woke up already missing my mom and wanting to be with family back home, didn't need yelling and name calling to make it worst. I would have settle for even spending it with my kids who were stuck at home because I had to work, and there was no hope of turkey that day. Oh but I did had a guy yell at me because Cinderella wasn't there and as he left he said loudly 'Happy fu@#$% thanksgiving" Yeah thanks... don't forget your manners. I think it's pathetic that I was so down I counted that I only had six guests wish me a happy thanksgiving. What happens to the days when people had manners? UGH!

That's terrible. Sorry you had to deal with SG's all day long.

It has to be the turkey marinated in Red Bull.

I have a coworker who we keep the red bull away from based on past experience. I hope he doesn't hear this idea.

It seems that manners are being breed out of people.

I don't think it's so much that, people have just lost the idea of common sense. It's been replaced by a sense of entitlement because they had to PAY for something. Nevermind the other 40K+ people in the parks had to pay to.

Which is why I'm going to sit back and laugh my behind right off when the current generation hits college and the work force. It's going to be a nicely rude awakening to realize they won't get what they want and that work/school doesn't cater to them like mommy and daddy! :D:

Maybe Disney should hand out a pamphlet that tells people how they are expected to act as guests and the consequences of not doing so. If they want I would be willing to write one for them. ;)

They don't even read the rules of the park on the back of the maps. Don't bother. They never see themselves in those rules, only other people.

Past experience? What, did it almost kill him?

Tinker Bell, as far as the whole thing with guests on holidays? Yes. Agreed.

I'll never forget the night I was running the Polynesian platform, I asked people to continue moving all the way down the platform, that I would not be opening the two closest gates. One guy would not move. So when I opened the two on the end and not the one he had parked in front of, I went down to help a guest in a wheelchair. When I stood up and turned around, he as about four inches out from my face, and started screaming at me about exercising what little power I had over him, started commenting on the size of my genetalia, etc.

Easter is another fun day in the parks. I've come to the conclusion that here is the mindset people have when they book their holiday travel to the parks:

Wife: Honey, my sister, parents and Uncle Sal all want to do a huge get-together for (#Holiday). It's been five years since we all got together, we really should. I know you don't like them, but we should!

Husband: I don't want to do it.

Wife: I know, they're all so annoying, but we have to do it! What if we all meet up in Orlando? That way, we can all be on vacation together, but we'll have nine different places we can be where we don't actually have to spend any time with them except a meal, but we can call it a family reunion, a whole family trip, and we'll never have to see them. Oh, and I'll bet NOBODY goes to the theme parks on the holidays, because they're all spending time as families!

Husband: That's a fantastic idea! I'll book the airfare!

Then they arrive, and wonder why everyone else is at the parks on (#Holiday).

Please note, I say all that, but I wound up really unlucky when it comes to humor. I can't joke about my mother in law or Little Wallaby's family, because I like all of them, and the feeling is mutual. :D:

We were shocked when we wished a CM a Happy Thanksgiving at the Seas, and she told us that we were the first people to say that. We were saying it all day, then we switched to Merry Christmas on Friday :)

As far as crowds go, we've seen worse :)
