Poll Question:
No matter how much we plan the ideal Orlando holiday, something or the other is likely to go wrong...face it, we are all human. So let us see what upsets us most while on holiday there? | |

| What bugs me and ive said it before is the americans habbit of walking into you, they seem
to walk along blinkered, and its so dam annoying
They always say sorry but after being walked into all day long even an apology wears thin
and a few times ive almost given them a lashing but wifey has stopped me |

| | Nothing puts me off more than rain at the inopportune moment. It spoils my whole day. Probably goes back to my childhood in India. My favourite time was Diwali (Festival of Lights) which would be ruined if there was any rain (fortunately rare in late Oct - early Nov). Also, being a cricket fan, I hate rain when it interferes with the game! |

| I agree Chris although I find the South Americans are the worst for this. The times people were walking into me when I queued for a ride - am I invisable??!  | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| | I went for something else, as I agree with the barging comments, and I also find people there rude (guests not staff!!!) Rarely an apology, and hardly ever a thank you when you hold the door for someone. I think it's just the custom there, and will try not to be affected by it, but my son was quite upset last time we went, and everytime he held a door for someone, they just ignored him! Doesn't help with teaching manners does it? | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| I put something else also and agree with the comments on rude queue / line jumpers. I had been told about this before my first visit and it was a rude American family that literally pushed their way in front of my young son. I tapped the father lightly on the shoulder and told him - very politely to get behind me and that I didn't appreciate his tactics. His face was so red he moved but the mother kept giving me the evil eye. I could feel it burning into the back on my neck so I turned round and said to her "problem?" but she averted her eyes and that was it.
I just dont allow it to happen. I'd embarrass them into moving. |

| Wish i'd had the guts to do that Helen, queue jumping is really annoying, although we noticed it more at DLP. Our European neighbours do no seem to believe in queueing, where as us Brits see a queue and join it just cos its there! |

| Not had too bad an experience queue wise in Orlando Disney, but Anahiem was an eye opener Don't think we managed any photos without Japanese folk smiling away with our then 5 yr old and Tigger!!!, It was mildly amusing to start with, but the queue jumping to get in pictures with characters and get on rides was absolutely unbelievable We thought we had just been spoilt in Florida Perhaps times are changing eh? | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |
