The only pet peeves I have at WDW are guest related. It baffles me because I never come across behavior like this at public outings at home. I don't know if this self-entitled rudeness is a regional thing or if WDW just brings out that side in people
The first one is teenage or college-aged kids who are not with their parents and feel the need to be loud, obnoxious, and rude
Ugh, I loath this crowd. The golden age when impressing your friends is more important than respect and self-dignity. Of course, this does not apply to every unsupervised teen-& I'm guessing the most obnoxious ones are local kids because they tend to travel in packs of 3-10 (unless they are on some big annual Obnoxious Family vacation.). They cut in line (laughing about it the whole time), screaming on rides (where screaming is just not appropriate to the ride) or yell comments to each other across cars, curse, over the top flirting with each other, bump into other people while they are texting, etc...Ugh, I have have no tolerance for immature kids like that
The other crowd I have little to no tolerance for is the clueless parents who have no regard for people around them. The worst was the trip that my DF proposed to me. He was planning on doing it at Wishes. We went over to the Rose Garden & first went over to a great empty spot. We stood there for about 30 seconds when a lady came up to us and said "I'm sorry but we are standing there" We looked around confused, as she and her two strollers were standing across from us under a tree. She then said that they were there first, but they were waiting for the show to start to move over there.
....OK, whatever. We really were not in the mood to start a fight, so we moved. We ended up in another pretty good spot and started chatting with the couple in front of us. As the show started there was a family behind us (mom, dad, brother, sister-both under the age of 6) & the kids were HORRIFIC
running around hitting people with their sword and wand (us included), yelling, and blowing bubbles in our faces. I turned around and gave the mother several dirty looks & then finally after the 5th wack to my leg from a pirate's sword, my DF turned around & asked the woman to please control her kids. The woman snapped at my DF and said "What do you want me to do-they are
children! If you don't like it, don't go to WDW!" Umm....are you kidding me???
The couple we were chatting with were ready to start a brawl with that family as the kids were continuing to blow bubbles in their carriage with their sleeping baby inside. This continued through the rest of the fireworks show. My DF told me later on that he had originally planned to propose to me during Wishes, but that family had ruined it
He ended up proposing in front of the castle later that night, so all was not lost, but what an annoying family!! I have zero patience for bad parents who are too afraid of their kids to discipline them on vacation and absolutely zero regard for people around them.
The only other thing I can think of as being a pet peeve is the cleanliness of the park bathrooms, especially the one in Fantasyland-blech!
