When I was down in Florida three weeks ago there seemed to be tons of tourist groups which I presume were from Brazil. I am curious to know if WDW is huge Brazilian tourist destination in the middle of January?

It seems like it is! Last weekend at Soarin' we had at least 4 groups of over 60 Brazillians each come through. We also have a lot of I.C.P.'s that are from Brazil, maybe Brazillians just like Florida?

EVERYONE likes Florida. But it's just a matter of coming when it's that country's vacation. It's the same thing when the Brits have their breaks, and suddenly the entire area is filled with people asking for malt vinegar in restaurants.

Wow thats a surprise I thought that Brazilian tourist groups only visited in the summer.

No school in January?

Don't get me started on Brazillians.....
I am pretty easy going but nothing drives me nuts like a bunch of South Americans in WDW. One word to describe them RUDE.
For example one night we were coming back from one of the parks and were all in a crowded bus. Everyone is packed in and tired. A group of Brazilians decide its freaking Karaoke time!. So they all start singing at the tops of their lungs

.... ugh
Needless to say we avoided them for the rest or our trip. It's also another reason we generally do not stay in any Value resorts.

I agree Rich. They have a lot of what they consider enthusiasm, but it is obnoxious to me. They also like to stick one person in line and then when it gets close to time to enter the attraction, the rest of the crew (30-50 of them) magically show up.
When I see those tour guides with their flags in the air coming, I usually head the other direction.

Not just WDW but Universal as well. In any case, both parks have a significant foreign population. More likely to hear German, Spanish, etc overheard in line than English.

I remember when me and my family were in line for Living with the Land, and basically everyone else in the line was Hispanic, and they were all talking at once in Spanish. It took five boats to empty them all out of the line

I thought Chunk was the huge, huge guy that was chained up. If Chunk wasn't the huge guy, what was his name?
