POOL HOPPER....yep done that a many a time! Just put your swim clothes in a bag, go into the pool area bathroom and change grab a resort towel and look the part.

Hmm pretty interesting to see that. I'm kind of surprised the list didn't include fight with a cast member. That is something I have seen happen and have heard happens too often. I personally am guilty of breaking rule number one but it wasn't my fault. I had to defend myself from a mad lady and her battering ram stroller.

I think Sin "0" should be being discourteous - under which the stroller / battering ram sin falls. I teach my kids to be courteous all the time, and it really irritates me to no end when I see kids and adults alike being rude, and if for some crazy reason I call them out on it, *I* am the rude one. "The end of the line's back there." "Well EXCUSE ME." yada yada yada. Ok I'm getting ticked at a hypothetical scenario, time to quit.

I'm actually surprised Pool Hopping is still an issue at WDW (I don't touch the things mostly because they are non-salt water and more or less "public) since I thought they added key required gates to all the pools.

Can't say I've been guilty of any of the five that are listed. I've seen some of them happen though ~ and some that are far worse in my opinion

I could have used you at the Homecoming concession stand line tonight. Boy those queues were unruly and lots of people were just joining the line without considering there might be several people already ahead of them The lady behind me was getting really mad but wouldn't say anything to the offenders ~ most of whom were probably under 10 years of age anyhow...

AMEN. If I had my way, I'd outlaw those tank strollers and tell 'em, one collapsible umbrella stroller PER FAMILY. My sister and I had to share a stroller and take turns when we went, and we were 6 and 4, so parents who push their 11 year olds around are just fostering laziness.

love it thanks for posting!!! The strollers may be annoying but if you've ever had to tote a little one around you'd be thankful for one. We waited til our daughter was 8 before even thinking about going to wdw because of the whole stroller thing!! we wanted her to be able to walk on her own and be old enough to not have the meltdowns!!

We took our 3 and 1 year old, and we could have made it without a stroller by virtue of arm power... right up until naptime. That's where the true beauty of a double stroller shines through. Not having to leave the park and waste 3-4 hours every day outweighed the inconvenience of having a stroller.

I guess I'm a saint when it comes to WDW.

DW and I haven't been back since having a child though, so I'm sure a few of those will apply to us next time.

I would think though...in terms of pool hopping...that CMs would never check for resort IDs at the quiet pools. I assume though that most people who pool hop and get caught are teens and families with small children who cause a scene.

[Wizzard419]

I would be surprised if anyone ever got caught for the simple reason that it looks really bad if someone says "You don't look like you belong at this hotel".

Strollers are a GODSEND. When we took the girls when they were 3 and 7, we rented a double because their little legs just couldn't keep up with the pace. Strollers aren't a problem when used courteously. It's when people use them to herd through the crowd. Then again, it's not very nice when people refuse to move for a family trying to navigate with a stroller. It comes down to one basic thing...

Mind your manners.

[BattyMcDoom]

Not personally, but I know some people who are guilty of a few of these.

[Goofyfan]

One of the sins that was not listed is the "plow people over to get first in line" issues. Very annoying when you are in a queue line and kind of taking your time to see all the interesting sites to be seen and a group (to include parents) push you aside to get to the front of the end of the line. Thats right, they mow you over to rush to the end of the line. And guess what???? You end up right behind them waiting just as long as they would have when you finaly get there.

[Wizzard419]

Wouldn't it also be a sin to hold up the line because you want to look at stuff the people behind you don't care about?
