A few went home mid stint because of supervisors that were less than Magical CM's. My son refered to them as the lowest level of management with power over the lowly CP's. He was so fortunate to have a lovely supervisor who took him under her wing.

But I am surprised the CM blurted that out. Betting Food Service wasn't so Magical for her.

Food service would bite. Unless that was what you really loved. And Ihave to say, the cash register CM's at All Stars are really, really not too magical. Yeah, not at all. I really felt like a major imposition on their day.

Not sure if this has been said already, but the Peter Pan queue. I mean, it;s a great ride, but seriously, when i hear people in the queue who think they're actually going to fly i wanna point them to Soarin' at EPCOT.
It's definitely not worth 1.5 hours queue!

Do they actually show a video on the way over? That's brilliant! I wish that was compulsory on all flights going to Orlando!

that is sad. I would absolutely love to dance to disney songs at my wedding reception. "So this is love"..."Circle of Life"..."Kiss the Girl"...so many possibilities and this is coming from a guy. It's not immature to want stuff like this. If it's your passion, then do it! It's no different than playing popular hip-hop hits to dance to. It's all a matter of what you like. Instead of Usher songs, you're playing Alan Menkin hits. It's your day, don't let anyone else get in your way of living a fairytale.

Pet peeve? All the nimrods who have to ring the bells in the Everest queue as long and loud as they can.

**MartianCrab** · 07-28-2011, 12:01 PM

I dislike double-wide stroller people and people who suddenly stop walking (while in a crowd) to consult a map/phone/etc. oblivious to the people behind them that DIDN'T want to stop.

I know i hate this its like really? And to add to it when you get behind slow people hogging the whole walkway and you are faster and can't get past them and when you do the rest of your party is still stuck behind them and then you have to stop and wait on your party to catch up and you ended up behind the same people and so it all again.

Same thing with the bell on the walk between the Villas and the Wilderness Lodge hall.

I've had a few CM's tell me that they show a video on the planes on how to act proper in America. Its all a matter of if they pay attention or even care. These are all rich spoiled kids dont forget. They treat anyone that works like trash.
But as annoying as they are I have seen them getting better.

I dont mind double-wide strollers cause some families have to get them, but I agree about the stopping. Than they look at me like I just slapped there kids. or they arent paying attention and they ram into me and think its my fault. If I'm with my mother she will yell at them and walk away lol its so funny to watch my mom yell XD

Bravo, bravo. YOUR wedding, YOUR choices. I would have Disney songs mixed in with popular wedding reception dance songs. And anyone who didn't like it could sit in their chair, eat their meal and pout like a two year old. I would get the dancing started with the music Whistle While you Work, and have everyone swing napkins over their heads like the Pooh Parade at Crystal Palace. Get them moving and having a light hearted good time. Tell the fuddy duddy's to pout quietly.

Last trip (may2010) there weren't as many but I noticed that the Indians had taken their place as beyond annoying and entitled, can't count the number of them that had one person waiting in line and as it moved to the front, 20 more would join them. ERRRR

**eeyore79** · 08-15-2011, 03:29 PM

i will report back with my pet peeves from my trip!!

**DopeyDancer87** · 08-16-2011, 11:12 AM

I personally will never go to WDW during the month of July ever again. Those tour groups from South America should be banned (as discriminatory as that sounds, sorry). If it were a family acting that way, the family would be kicked out of the park, but because its a bunch of over privileged brats from a foreign country Disney feels like they can't say anything. Ruins the experience for everyone else who has dreamed about their Disney trip!
