Just got back from Disney today and had an amazing trip! Stayed at the Boardwalk and Animal Kingdom Lodge, both such fun places to be. Sadly, I cannot help but allow temporary stops in the magic when certain frustrating things are CONSTANTLY happening!
First of all, when in a group of people, the best place to stand and converse is NOT in the middle of the freaking walkway! What could possibly be going through these people's minds? How can you stand in a huge crowd of people struggling to get through and not realize that you standing around having a casual conversation is incredibly rude? It's one thing if people are standing and reading a map (still rude and inconsiderate, but at least you can understand that their mind is preoccupied with something), but when you're just in a circle in the middle of everything how can you possibly not realize what you're doing?
Secondly, what are all of the questions people have for the attendants at each ride? These conversations seem to go ON AND ON and block the entrance to the ride. A few days into the trip, I finally figured out what the problem is. It's actually Disney's fault. All of the signs say "Stand By Entrance", which is exactly what people are doing. Literally. Does anyone think they would consider changing them to "Stay Clear Of Entrance"?
Finally, is there any dark ride anywhere in the world where you're allowed to take flash pictures? Isn't is common sense that this ruins the ride for everyone else and if not, what is the logic? And how come nobody tries to take flash pictures on the Haunted Mansion, but on Pirates, it's a flashing bonanza? They've even given up on stopping it. If you don't take a picture before the ride starts, nothing is going to be said. On one ride on Pirates, we were floating along nicely with no disruptions. Then we stopped for about ten minutes halfway through and for some reason people thought this gave them free reign to take all the flash pictures they wanted for the rest of the ride!
Anyone else have frustrations that make your day less than magical while at Disney?
