OMG! This SOOO annoys me! It's not like there are PEOPLE walking behind them or anything.... ugh. Hehehe I think that all those walkway stoppers must be drivers from MA!

Heheheh, NOT THAT TINY! But you're tall, and I bet you can see over their heads to see what direction to swerve.

Yeah, I can.

JS was joking about how his legs still hurt 6 months after the trip. I'm quick for being tall, and I can change direction like a HB, just no meat on the bones to play football.

The pushers!! When you have some one behind you who has to keep bumping into you for the whole Que!! ARG!!!!!!!!! Oh yea, the people behind you who see some one they know 30 space in front and want to move in front of everybody!

That is exactly what I was going to say! Hear hear!

One more thing I just thought I would let y'all know. One time last year in 2006 I was walking in Frontierland around dusk enjoying the atmosphere. Then out of the corner of my eye I notice something unusal and out of place. Low and behold some disgusting jerk deciced to stick an unused (thank God!) womens pad to the window of the shop. I was appalled and disgusted. I went inside and let the cast member, working behind the desk, know about the prank. My point is... why pay a load of money to enjoy the park and instead destroy it?

I guess the first thing that comes to mind are people who "save" places in lines for more people. You've been waiting forever and suddenly a group of three are trying to squeeze through mumbling, "Excuse me... excuse me..."

LOL ok so... here's my take in the Pet Peeves:

1. Flash Pics on Dark Rides
2. Pushers.... grrr
3. Line holders
4. The impatient complainers... you've all probably seen them the "fans" and patrons who complain about the wait in line because they've " Been waiting for hours." It just bugs me when you stand close to them cause your standing there and you are being all clam and waiting and the peeps in front of you wont shut up about how sucky it is to wait.

5. Here's another thing... I have a bad back and a limp in my leg so I normally end up getting a Guest Assistance Pass... heres my problem... the people who have the guest assistance passes... but do not seem to have any physical use for them.

6. The people who try to use the handicapped sitting area when they don't need to and then they act so like " Umm what did I do?" when the people come up and aske them to see their Guest Assistance Pass... lol it's not a peeve persay I just wish they wouldnt do it to begin with.

As for the rest of my peeves I think yall covered em all already

I'm fine with people holding a place in line for up to 2 to 3 people. It's when one or two people hold a place in line and a huge crowd shows up. Also, when a group is split up in line, are only seperated by 10-20 people or so, and the group in front insists that the group behind could push forward. When that happens to us, we let other people pass for our group behind to catch up. You lose less than a minute. People are on inconsiderate.

It's usually the KIDS(or teens) of the people who paid the $ to get in who do that sort of thing.. Hence, these kids have no respect for something that was "given" and not earned. Ahhhhhhhh Youth is wasted on the young.

Perhaps if these kids parents did a better job at teaching these kids to respect themselves and people around them, they wouldn't feel the need to destroy stuff that does not belong to them. ok. I'm jumping off my soapbox

I hate slow-moving families who spread out widthwise, taking up a large chunk of the walkway.

Agreed. And usually when people do this, there's no possible way to get around them which just ticks me off more.

Aside from this, I would have to say the insane people on those motorized wheel chairs or with strollers who act like they're hotrods and just start plowing through the crowds. I had my ankles clipped a few times by strollers on my last visit.

So some of mine:

people who
... are clearly too HEAVY to walk in the parks on those dumb scooters
... stopping in the middle of the row
... (kids) with heelies
... parents who threaten there kids (Do you know how much it costs for us to be here? IF you do ... one more time we are leaving! Children have zero idea how much 2-3k is and if you don't take them out of the park the kids will figure out the threat is hollow.)
... Yapping when not appropriate
... Smoking walking around in the park (There are places for that, and they are out of my way.)

I'm sure I can think of more.

I have a very literal PET peeve!! Years ago we took our Shih Tzu, Norman Bates, to WDW. Since we are just average people we couldn't take Norman to our room. He had to stay in the WDW kennel. The Cast Memebers were GREAT with Norman. They would play with him. But, it seems some of the other guests didn't follow the rules for boarding pets...you know getting the proper shots!! grrr! Well, Norman came down with a bad case of kennel cough!! GRRR! Needless, to say Norman never went to WDW again.

One more MAJOR pet peeve I have. What in the 'world' happened to Dreamfinder??? There used to be a real Dreamfinder and Figment that greeted guests. He was SUPER! What is with this GIANT Figment??

With out a doubt it has to be the huge tour groups with the umbrella who have no manners and no idea of where they are going. Lord help you if you happen to get behind one of these people carrying a pennant or umbrella in line and the next thing you know you have 100 non-english speaking, rude, rowdy kids breaking into line.

nancynohorse, Dreamfinder has been downsized. Dreamfinder seems to still have an office at the Imagaination Instute, but I've not seen him around in years.
