What part of disney drives you crazy?
Moderator: Moderators
Kids swinging their arms in line and hitting me in the crotch! I mean how many times can you smile and say, "umm, that's okay!" Some parents are just oblivious to their kids actions. Mothers with strollers is another big one for me. Just because you have one does not give you a license to friggin run everyone over and plow a path through a crowd. I always make way and watch my feet when I see these coming!

It's an absolute eye sore if you happen to see it. Thankfully plans are in motion to rebuild the Treehouses, because they were looking pretty sad too (and that's something you can't help but see on a boat ride to DTD).

Second!! I feel like some parents just brush the responsibility of their kids when they walk through the turnstiles. Yeesh! One time I was in the queue for Space Mountain and this little girl just kept hitting me in my back. I got so annoyed that I had to yell out "Con permisso!" (excuse me in Spanish).GhostHost wrote:Some parents are just oblivious to their kids actions.
Finally, the father told her to stop. It's just plain rude! They don't do anything until another adult brings it to their attention, and then sometimes they still don't straighten out their kids.
I'll make sure to keep my nephews in check when I go with them...

It's not hard to keep kids in check, if you just pay attention! Funny how some people let their kids run wild, while others, like me, are very conscious of their actions, pushing strollers, etc. A simple 'excuse me' or 'I'm sorry' can also fix most things, but again, you have to be paying attention.
What drives me crazy are the people who stop in the middle of an obvious, and busy, walk way to try to figure out their next move. Stand off to the side!!
So RC is still there? (Physically at least.) I went there years ago. It wasn't bad. Isn't it part of the camp grounds or something? Why don't they just make it part of that resort, in place of a pool. That would make the resort more attractive as well. Even if they downscaled it a bit.
And what are those tree-houses all about? Not knowing drives me crazy! What were/are they?

Rude people. Including but not limited to obnoxious children and their oblivious parents, people who feel they are owed something, people who feel their vacation is more important than anyone else's, people who use strollers as battering rams, people who refuse to read signs, people who give advice and have no idea what they're talking about, and people who can't wait their turn. That extends outside of WDW as well, though; that drives me crazy anywhere. 
WDW-specific things that drive me crazy? Hmm. I like the music for Splash Mountain generally, but we got 'log jammed' in the room ... I want to say right before the drop that takes you out of the water for a second - the roller coastery part? - and there's this incredibly shrill version of zip-a-dee-doo-dah in there that made me want to punch things after a few minutes. I can't listen to it now without cringing.

It is still there (parts that haven't decayed entirely) and actually, it was originally just supposed to be the pool for Fort Wilderness. It became a 'water park' when it got to be so popular; it was not designed to be one initially. I guess they saw an opportunity to charge more people to get in and capitalized on it. I sincerely doubt it will ever reopen because of the costs involved in doing so (though I'd like to see it open again myself).Chernabog wrote:So RC is still there? (Physically at least.)

Im sorry but there shouldnt be smoking allowed anywhere in the parks. However, since many people smoke, I guess Disney should accomodate. Can't they create a place for smokers through a tunnel that leads far away from children and me? 
Oh and cell phones in dark rides or anywhere actually. It is so rude to:
-Talk on the phone while riding
-Text while riding
-Take pictures while riding
-Let everyone know you own a cell phone while riding.

I'm starting to think this should be a rule enforced everywhere. i get tired of the texting, ever go to a movie to see some idiot start texting someone during the show? wow are you that ADHD? Multi-Tasking used to be a trait wanted for business, now its a symptom of dysfunction. I'm going Retro! the phone goes off after work and on weekends. pass the Asprin pleaseMintJulepRoo wrote:Im sorry but there shouldnt be smoking allowed anywhere in the parks.

I use my cellphone as my sole means of communication and have for several years now. No home phone at all. However, I keep it on vibrate 90% of the time and I'm considerate enough to not have it in my hand constantly. It never ceases to amaze me how entertained people are by their phones. Geez, look up for a change because you might be missing something really interesting or important right in front of your face! Like my rear bumper!

Disney Quest!!!! AAAAAAGgggghhhhh!!! Don't know what it is about Disney Quest but I get very stressed in here, don't know if it's the lighting, noise or whatever. I just can't wait to get out of there, and my kids love it.
The other part of Disney I really find annoying is the people who moan about distance from their room to the transportation/food court, then the people who are on top of them moan it's too loud.
For goodness sake your on vacation just ENJOY!!!!!!!!

Disney has lost it's eye for detail. If you don't believe me, walk around the parks and count how many lights are out. MGM (Yes I still call it that) is the worst park for this.

It isn't hard. They don't want you driving randomly all over the carpark where other guests are now walking.
