Of course, the first one of the castle really is mine, and the third one of the tour group wasn't mine but really is at MK.

It's so crazy, because one of my very best friends on the planet is Brazilian. He was my coworker on my first CP and is pretty much the older brother I never had, and he doesn't act a THING like those people. Most of the Brazilian CMs don't either- heard a story about how one Brazilian CM at MK called several of the BTG members "a**holes" and apologised to guests for their rude behaviour and her manager literally applauded her.theBIGyowski wrote:Ugh...can't stand the BTGs!!!
They make you wonder how they could possibly have a functional society at home...based on the manners or lack thereof of the Brazilians who occupy WDW every winter.
Yeah, I already love the aviator outfit thanks to the goggles...plus it's really cute in person. But thanks to this pic, I also am crushing on the pirate and sorcerer outfits.cy1229 wrote:I LOVE the pirate costume! Sure does make bear-who-must-not-be-named look awful durn cute!
To be fair, most of the BTG consist of teenagers. Sort of the same thing as when the cheerleaders and football players descend on WDW. I think the Brazilians are just a more boisterous people in general though. I'm not a fan of the huge groups, but a few years ago F1gment and I had the opportunity to talk to a smaller group of about 4 or 5 girls. One was very keen to practice her English and they really were quite lovely young adults.theBIGyowski wrote:Ugh...can't stand the BTGs!!!

They get super obnoxious in groups, because as individuals, most of them are very friendly and very talkative! I rather miss my Brazilian coworker that I mentioned a couple posts above, especially the kiss he always gave me for hello and goodbye.Amy wrote:To be fair, most of the BTG consist of teenagers.

I thought something about those Duffy outfits seemed so familiar! I wonder if they designed Duffy intentionally for the intent of recycling old merchandise lines?dstrawn9889 wrote:they are recycling the 'pal mickey' patterns, huh? i have the pirate and the sorcerer costumes for my son's Pal Mickey
Hey, they probably figured if they could make money off Duffy, what the heck. Anything for a few extra $$$ !mindflipper wrote:I thought something about those Duffy outfits seemed so familiar!

Not the same for the Cheerleaders, yes they go around in groups but on the whole are not noisy and rowdy. All the cheerleading groups I have encountered are very pleasant and polite girls and quite happy to chat to old codgers like me about their upcoming competition.Amy wrote:To be fair, most of the BTG consist of teenagers.

I had a good friend in high school who was from Brazil...with a voice like butter...but I know what you mean.Soarin08 wrote:They get super obnoxious in groups, because as individuals, most of them are very friendly and very talkative!

The junior high and high school cheerleaders are worse than the Brazilians.... the college cheerleaders, nah. They're at least mature enough to know not to act like fools at a theme park.Sleepy90 wrote:Not the same for the Cheerleaders, yes they go around in groups but on the whole are not noisy and rowdy.

However at the same time we also have huge groups of Argentinians now these guys are loud, but come on they are teenagers and they are in the Happiest place on earth, I can live with that.

I think I’ll take a picture…wait, no, I don’t want to…oh well, what the heck…here we go!!! Before I knew it, a CM had grabbed my hand and led me right under the limbo “bar” and then handed me a blue plastic lei (that happened to match my shirt). Cbog40 informed me that I had to wear it all day now. Oh well, I’m up for the challenge…
