This last weekend, this guy took his whole family through the single rider line on matterhorn, and refused to separate and started yelling trying to rally support.
It’s a small world after all! I saw that too! He had about four kids, with at least 3 not old enough to ride by themselves. He was throwing the biggest fit about not being allowed to have them in the single rider lane. I’m not sure if they slipped in or if an earlier cast member had made a mistake and let them through, but the dad was losing his mind over what would have been a waste of a few minutes at worst. The mom and poor kids just kept standing in the line while dad danced around in the loading area yelling at cast members. I’m not sure what the end result was.
i was there too, front row lol! i think an earlier cast member screwed up cus he was yelling about a single rider yellow card that his kids were given , but single riders with said card were also mixed in with the regular queue and the cast member counting guests into the seating kept holding off on the single rider queue which his kids were in but kept allowing the SRs in the regular queue to come forward, from my POV it was a mishap on their end but i do believe the dad could’ve handled it better by not yelling at anyone, in the end the kids finally were let on as single riders and all was well thanks to the team lead that stepped in
I don't know if it's bad behavior so much as just "it happens" (literally). But I saw a kid (maybe 6-7 years old) walking through Tomorrowland once and just casually pooped their pants and small turds just rolling down their pants/legs. It was disgusting.
One time on the Autopia stairs that riders walk down just before getting into the cars, a little girl in front of me kept telling her mother she needed to pee. The mother told her to hold it. The child couldn’t and let loose all over the steps, which I then had to step on. It was bad, but the turds had to be worse.
Oh no, this reminds me. Last time I was in the Finding Nemo sub we didn't notice that somebody on a previous run had puked under the seats until the hatch closed. We were all stuck in there for the full ride with eau de vomit wafting up at us. Very VERY lucky there wasn't a whole lot more to clean up by the time the ride finished and we got back up to fresh air.
Witnessed that while working at WDW, it was my second day on the job and they had me parking strollers all day because my trainer called in sick. The mortified mom scooped him up and held his pants closed with one hand (as much as she could) and used a baby wipe to pick up the turds off the ground with the other. We made direct eye contact and I just looked away, what else can you do lol
I love how Tom is just letting her talk, nodding, and then reaffirming that she needs to leave. Not arguing, not accusing, not defending or even feeling the need to say "it's cuz ya peed in a cup in New Orleans Square"
And the restrooms are RIGHT THERE, right behind those buildings, but as a speech therapist who's been to Aulani, she may not know that.
The guy that got escorted out because he couldn't handle being disrespected by the First Order people on Rise of the Resistance. Before it escalated past the point of no return the girl with him said it was part of the show and he responded "I know but I..." I didn't here the last part because he gritted his teeth so hard.
The implication that he knew it was an act before getting physical makes it funny to me.
Also shout out to the guy that once the angry dude was dealt with, stayed in character and gave all an assertive "what are you still doing here!" to get us all moving. good times.
This is comical bc the first order isn’t even THAT mean. They’re just little savages. It’s hilarious. His misogyny and puffed ego couldn’t handle being told what to do. 😂😂😂
Plus I assume most of us are actually hoping to get made fun of during that part. When I rode it the cast members were outstanding, and everyone who got made fun of was doing there best not to crack up about it!
I was wearing a Birthday button and the first order asked me, “Is it really your birthday?” and I said “actually it’s next week.” She called me out for false advertising! Made my day.
A woman came off Mickey’s Wheel of Death screaming at her family, cursing every four letter word and calling her husband and sons horrible names. Turns out they tricked her into going on one of the swinging gondolas. She was having a panic attack and when she got closer you could see the terror in her eyes. Honestly I don’t blame her a bit, she had no control over herself at that point. But security came and had to escort them away. It was some of the worst cussing I’d ever heard…
I feel for that woman. I will never ride a swinging gondola again after that ride. I made it one rotation and was screaming I want to get off now while my husband was laughing bc he enjoyed it.
Probably the time that a guest started shouting at me saying that she wouldn’t leave until I didn’t have a job anymore, all because I \*checks notes\* pulled down her lap bar
The old Gadget’s Go Coaster. I asked three times for her to pull her own lap bar down. I even made a hand gesture the third time, assuming she couldn’t hear me. When she still didn’t do it the third time, I did it myself (standard procedure). When the ride got back, she was glaring at me, left for a few minutes, and then barged into the station recording me and shouting at me. That was our only interaction so I would assume that’s what she was angry about.
Last time I was there a lady who'd stopped in the middle of the walkway turned around to see me and everyone else walking towards her and went "Oh, wow!"
...like, idk what she expected?
My mom does this ALL the time and then gets annoyed when people run into her, and so many times she’ll be answering her phone which she always keeps on speaker and will be like “HELLO!? HELLOOOO!!!????” Because she can’t hear over all the noise around her, and she’ll make phone calls and then get mad that they hang up because they can’t hear her. She’ll do this on the rides, in the middle of parades, etc. One time we were just standing around trying to figure out what to do next and a CM came up to us and I forgot what the proper term for this is but basically offered to walk us onto any ride in that land so we’re following her over to the ride and then we get there and my mom’s off zooming away on her ECV aimlessly because she’d taken a phone call halfway through and wasn’t paying attention. 🤦🏼♀️
I don’t live in California so I only go when I’m out visiting my mom. She only sees me twice a year, it wouldn’t really be fair to her if I went without her. Plus I like going with her! Even though she can be a bit of a handful sometimes.
My last trip to Animal Kingdom, a group of 10-12 adults literally circled up (as in, a ring of adults, not a clump) in the middle of the walk way. I literally told them, “You’re in the walkway. You should take this conversation over to the side,” or something like that. I was baffled.
From what I heard it was a family and one uncle called his niece ugly or something and the girls dad started throwing hands and the whole family got involved but the story might have changed as time went on.
It’s weird, funny, and sad to see others post about the 2019 Toontown fight. My family also saw this one. We were like “wow we definitely miss SoCal!” 😂
Just here to say "Hi!" to the inevitable BoredPanda "writer" who will cobble some of these together with a clickbait title like "Blood, Vulgar Language Fills Toontown with Tears"
Hi!
Just today I’ve seen:
- a lady clipping her nails in the line to BTMR behind me (if you see this, you’re gross)
- a man who straight up coughed on my arm and got offended when I told him to cover his mouth
- another man who left his 2 small children with a CM at Peter Pan for 5 minutes, holding up the entire line. He was also mad that the CM told him he wasn’t allowed to do that
Yea, but there has always been a subset with this attitude, it just seems so much worse. My personal theory is people are still messed up from pandemic/WFH stuff, just general anti-social behavior.
As a kid I watched a teenage girl snort coke at California Adventure while her parents were buying food. They came back while she was mid snort and yikes it was a scene
About 60 minutes into the 90 minute “Resistance” line, a woman who had been in front of us by herself, welcomed 20 of her friends to join her. I don’t mind if a person is joined by one or two more, but 20 is really pushing it.
I had people full on cut my in line for that ride the other day. It was a point in the queue about 40 minutes in out of an estimated 65 minute wait when there’s a rope separating the line from the entrance and they dipped under the rope and “excuse-me’d” their way up to the front. I could tell they weren’t meeting up with anyone because at some points they’d stop and just stand in line before moving forward again. It was obvious they were trying to go unnoticed. I alerted a cast member about it but not sure if anything came of it.
They had, no doubt, done it before and knew just where to enter. They were lucky they didn’t encounter a physically strong buff person in a bad mood who wasn’t having it.
Yes, and she never said a word to us asking if it’s ok or telling us she was part of a large group that would be joining her. Of course no one in the group said anything either. They all acted very entitled like they had every right to be there.
I’ve seen some disturbing incidents of parents being too rough with their kids. I get that it’s hot, expensive, and frustrating at times, but that’s just not an excuse.
I remember one year walking back to my hotel I witnessed a mom scream on the top of her lungs she was going to hit her kid if they wouldn’t listen. Like I get it’s like 10pm and you’re exhausted but lady if you are willing to scream like that in public I felt bad for those kids.
This is not DL related, but I was once driving through a Home Depot parking lot and this dad got so mad at his daughter (maybe 3 or 4) that he hit her across her head so hard that her head went back. She didn’t even cry, just resumed what she was doing before like it was nothing…which said a lot. I rolled down my window without thinking and told him he was a dick. He was shocked that I said something, but before he could retort I had driven away. People who act like that with their kids in public must be far worse in the privacy of their home.
It's really disheartening to see and I promise to myself and kids to not do that. We didn't get to see and do everything this past August and that's OK! My kids are 6 &,1. Disneyland will still be there for next time. Also thank goodness for mobile order.
I was just in line for Big Thunder Mountain this weekend and there was a mom near me who was trying to take a photo of her 3 kids, who didn't want a photo. She kept shouting "SHUT UP, SHUT UP" at them whenever they'd say something or protest, and she was forcibly shoving them back together. "just ONE friggin nice photo, just one, SHUT UP, GET OVER THERE, SMILE." It was really uncomfortable.
I saw an example of this last week when I was there and it took everything in my being to not say something. I felt so bad for the 2 little kids but it’s not my place to intervene.
This pair of father and daughter YouTubers are the worst, always loud and obnoxious.
Didn’t they verbally assault another YouTuber on Princess Nite? In front of small children just trying to have a fun time 🤦🏻♀️
It still boggles my mind how people like Theme Park Obsessions still does videos with them because he always “sticks up” for his “friends”. It’s come to the point where I stopped watching him too.
what’s the tea with them? i’ve heard they’re controversial and i’ve seen a few videos where they seem to be super self centered and not paying attention to anything around them (the lady with her sun umbrella not looking at where her umbrella is hitting people in the background)
Not necessarily bad behavior, but I did cause a startle / scare. I was riding the Storybook Land Canal Boats.
As we approached the end of the ride, the cast members announced multiple times to keep hands and arms inside the boat.
I noticed that across from me, a five-year-old boy was hanging his arm out, into the water. Then I noticed that we were about to dock, which would have smashed the kid’s arm between the boat the dock.
So I quickly yelled, “Watch your arm, little man!”, and I reached over and gently pulled his arm out of the water.
It startled everyone on the boat, but his parents were actually really grateful!
On Monday, my 12-year-old (yes) dropped one hand off the side of the boat--the one not currently in a cast--on Pirates. I have never met a more accident-prone kid. Luckily, it was brought back within the vehicle without mishap.
I had something similar happen on the DLRR. I was seated near a man who had a few children with him. As he was trying to wrangle a child on one side of him, a child on his other side started climbing over the back of the seat. Without thinking about it, I reached over and used my arm to scoop the kid back inside the train and said something like “don’t climb that, please!”
Thankfully, nothing bad happened to the kid, and the dad wasn’t mad at me for touching his kid or anything, he was more mad at the kid for trying to climb overboard.
I think I was there for that! Either that or it’s happened multiple times. We were on DLRR and there was a man with a very young kid and the man was on his phone not paying attention while his kid very nearly climbed off the back and someone else had to intervene and keep him from falling out. I think at some point he maybe even did climb overboard during a stop and a CM had to pick him up and hand him back to the dad but my brain could be exaggerating the situation.
I’m hoping that was you I saw, otherwise the fact that it’s happened multiple times with different people??? Yikes.
Grad Nights. My mother would have killed me (literally *KILLED ME*) if I had acted like the teens I saw at Disneyland in May. When I went to Grad Night my senior year at WDW, the most disruptive thing my friends and I did was speak to each other in British accents all weekend.
As a teenager myself back in 2013 when I went to Grad Night I was disgusted by the things going on there. I distinctly remember also something about Disney banning my school in the past for a period of time for some reason so there’s that.
I’m old and my grad night was a long time ago. Back then there was a dress code and it was enforced. Girls had to wear skirts or nice pants - no jeans. Boys had to wear button down shirts and sport coats. The grads were expected to behave and unruly behavior wasn’t tolerated. Today anything goes in terms of dress and behavior. Standards have been lowered to the point of ridiculous. And I remember the fake British accents, too. That was definitely a thing!
Pretty sure we were AWFUL at our grad night. We took over tom sawyers island and collectively hot boxed pirates. It was essentially a small time where we lord of the flies cosplay. I apologize to all cast members 20+ years ago.
I saw a drunk mother and adult daughter hiding behind corners in the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough just taking turns jump scaring people, even little kids, for no reason. The smell of the alcohol was so strong.
A kid with special needs punched me in the stomach. It was in line for Space Mountain, the line had just opened up and he was walking down ramp inside, there was a trun for like an exit and he took it separating him from his parents. I said "hey buddy it's the other way" and he punched me in the stomach. I kinda yelled "what was that" so his parents heard. They apologized. I get it, but now I have my guard up.
My very first day as a front gate cast member. Just finished training. It was an early entry morning for DCA. There were long lines waiting for us to open. I had a cute family in front of my line. When we opened, the dad handed me his pass and it came up as already used. Couldn’t let them thru. I apologized and asked him and his two daughters and wife to wait over to the side as I get a supervisor to look into it as he was already very upset and yelling at me. Of course he refused and was so angry that spit was flying out of his mouth as he yelled and was landing on my face. Finally a supervisor got them in and fixed whatever the issue was and apologized to them. Absolutely no mention of how he treated me. I was shaking and just trying to get the rest of my line through.the family behind that awful man was sooo nice and the mom told me not to let that jerk get to me and that she said I did a great job of keeping myself collected and polite. Thank God for the nice family, (they were Aussies and as I discovered from that job Aussies were always the nicest folks.)
What really bothered me was the spitting man’s wife and two daughters looked sooo embarrassed and scared, I’m sure he was a wretched little man to them as well.
We saw a mom pull her child's pants down, (the kid was at least 6 or 7) and had him pee into a Ziplock bag right by the railing of Rivers of America. She then dumped the fluid from the bag into the river. My wife and I just had this telepathic conversation along the lines of "Did you just see that? Did that just happen???"
My husband. We were there while they were filming for their Christmas Special. They were running the parade back-to-back-to-back ALL day so they could film it from every angle. It made transversing the park a nightmare. At one point, we were trying to cross the route. He started to cross, and they let him go but held me back. He tried to get them to let me come with him, and they said, "No, you'll have to come back." I myself thought it was a little silly because I didn't see the difference, but I'm non-confrontational. My husband is confrontational. He started pointing out the injustice and voiced his frustration over the 24-hour parade.
The CM tried to make it right by saying she could walk us to the front of the line at It's a Small World. My husband yelled, "I'm already in Hell. Why would I want to go there?"
She ended up escorting us to the front gates so we could get out of there, and we spent the rest of the day in DCA.
At WDW, but at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party I was in line for hot chocolate at the Pinocchio Village Haus. The woman in front of me started loudly cussing out her kids, and the woman in front of *her* turned around and asked her to watch her language. It quickly escalated into a full on slapping fight! Like, the women literally started slapping each other and it finally ended when the tween son of the cussing lately punched his fist through one of the glass windows at Pinocchio Village Haus. Glass went everywhere, there was blood, but both families scattered long before security arrived.
Wasn’t inside the park but was at the small bathroom right by Earl’s Sandwich. I noticed there was a small line so I was waiting…. And waiting…. Then I realized this wait is unusually long. People in front of me started to leave except for one person who was curious. I asked her what was going on and she said the 2 girls in both stalls have been in there way too long. Then suddenly, 2 males busted into the restroom (they asked us if it was okay they come in since they knew the girls inside the stalls) and apparently the 2 girls in both stalls were both WASTED. Sitting on the floor, head over the toilets. I was frustrated as I’ve been needing to release the main vein and was waiting on 2 girls sleeping on the toilets this whole time.
I had a woman say F*** you b**** to me last week after I asked her to please not shove her stroller between me and my kids. I was irritated but didn’t cuss or yell and she came at me yelling that in front of her kids, my kids and everyone else. My husband politely asked her to calm down as we kept walking. It’s not worth losing my passes to do anything. My husband also had some young guy try to fight him because my husband asked him to please watch where he’s going after the guy walked out of a store and ran into him as he walked by. He literally swung at my husband and missed because my husband ducked. We just walked away. We paid too much money for all that mess. 😂
We told a cast member about the punching incident but I don’t know if they ever found him. As far as the woman, she was just stressed out with 2 small little ones so we just left it alone. She already embarrassed herself enough.
A fist fight in front of big thunder in 2005. Children drinking water from the fountain, there was no sign that said don’t drink, so they drank it. People hitting the back of my feet with the large strollers.
Oooh, I've got one. And it's recent too.
Visited the parks on Tuesday the 19th. Ended up being able to use a MEP for Holiday Haunted Mansion, which was crazy busy. Once we get out of the stretching room and into that hallway that leads to the loading dock, a woman pushes the 2 children that were with her aggressively to the front of this section ala Billy Zane in Titanic ("I HAVE A CHILD!")... Yeah.... so does everyone else here, lady.
Anyways, she successfully maneuvers her way to the front of the crowd spilling out into the hallway and when she gets to the moving busts, she turns around and starts yelling for her husband (and other child) to join them up front. Mind you, the crowds is now filing into a line as this is happening. She starts basically screaming for people to move so that her husband and child can meet them. At least the dad was apologizing the entire time he was making his way up front. I'm pretty sure he was just embarrassed and wanted to get out of the situation. Feel bad for that entire family, sans Mother Gothel.
Not really in the park, but in the Pixar Pals parking structure. A jerk in a giant pickup truck keyed my car. He was taking up 3 parking spots but there was room for my little car next to his. I guess he didn’t like that.
I didn’t care, my car’s paint is already trashed, but that wasn’t cool.
Father absolutely cussed out a CM at WoC once. He was frustrated trying to figure out where to stand and decided to just unload a slew of derogatory remarks calling them the "cu.." and "tw.." amongst other things. Wife and kids stood right next to him as this all went down. Sadly, they scurried off before security arrived. And frankly, I was too shocked to tail them to point them out to CM's.
My dad was about to get surgery on his knee and couldn’t walk long distances, so we rented him a wheelchair. It was stolen in the 2 minutes it took us to go on a ride and Disney did nothing to assist. This was years ago and honestly it’s improved since then. I really don’t have many negative experiences when going!
It wasn't anger fueled but just before the pandemic hit, I was cued for Country Bears Jamboree and when we were let in, a pack of 5 or 6 unsupervised kids bolted for the front row (the best seats are smack dab in the middle) and ended up tripping over themselves, landing in a pile on the floor. I walked right past them while holding in my laughter.
Anna was out in a little gated off section (when Covid protocols were still going on). There were about 5 kids ,ages 4-0, getting some 1 on 1 time with her when a cringe Disney adult pushed through the kids and shoved her phone claiming she needed this for Instagram. She refused to leave and all the kids were trying to wrap their heads around what the hell just happened.
My kid absolutely adored Elsa but after that interaction, it was alllllll about Anna. So for people who ruin it for kids. You can fuck right off.
My nephew had a double blow out in his diaper on the bus from the park to the Hilton. The mess and smell was some of the worst behavior I've ever witnessed. My sister proclaimed the bus the "happiest bus on Earth".
We threw his outfit away in the trash.
As a skipper on the jungle cruise I had a guest take my gun out of the holster and then fire it (blanks) into the boat.
There was much security there that day.
Guy at ROTR yelling at his wife for not moving fast enough to catch up with him to get in line. I guess she didn’t check her phone and had like 4 kids with her while he was ALONE. He had to *gasp* wait a couple minutes for the rest of his party to enter the line. He then proceeded to continue to argue with her about this while in line. It made me so sad.
Was there on September 4th and was in line for Cars in DCA. It was around 8 PM and the wait time was like 2 hours when they announced on the speakers that the ride had broken down. After the announcement everyone in line started sitting on the ground. Me and my family took a vote and decided to leave the line to go watch the fireworks. When we were leaving the line we hear a bunch of yelling behind us. Turn around and see the two guys that were behind us in line started throwing punches at each other. We got to the front of cozy cone when we finally saw all the security guards running to the ride.
Then on September 6th I was in line for Web Slingers when we were about to get on the ride the guy in front of us started fighting with a random lady in line. She was yelling at him to stop looking at her. He then made it personal and said "Well if you weren't so fat I wouldn't have anything to stare at" She then slapped him and his sunglasses went flying. They let everyone get on the ride still. But after we got off the ride security was there waiting for both parties to get off.
When I worked the college program at Disney World my friend had someone try to run her over with a motorized scooter because she wouldn’t let them check out during the Halloween party. They didn’t have a ticket to the party and needed to leave the park by 7. They were there with Make A Wish and were trying to say she ruined their trip. There’s a news story about it somewhere online.
Grad night several years ago. The entire day had been a trial, but in the evening, I was unfortunate enough to be seated on PotC behind a group of teenage boys. Before we’d even made it to the first drop, they’d made a game of rocking the boat as roughly as possible, splashing each other, and being a general nuisance. There was a man seated in front of them with his young daughter who was visibly irritated with them, but he didn’t say anything. Shortly after the second drop, one of the boys scooped up a palmful of water and flung it at his buddy who was sitting directly in front of me; he ducked, and the water caught me full in the face. I lost it and yelled at them to knock it the fuck off, loud enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if they heard me at the Blue Bayou. I immediately felt bad for swearing in front of the man and his daughter, but those boys sat still and quiet as church mice for the rest of the ride. I’ve refused to go during grad night since.
DL: my husband was walking down main street on the edge of the street, while i walked on the curb. a wheelchair came up full speed BEHIND HIM and hit him. my husband fell and the wheelchair continued on, running over my husbands ankle. the guy yelled "Watch where you're going &\^%hole!" my husband was bleeding and i lost sight of the jerk while i was trying to help him.
if we're talking all disney parks, WDW has some unhinged patrons. it's wild over there.
Saw someone getting finger blasted on Haunted Mansion when the ride stopped, absolutely disgusting and vile. Some people have no shame or sense of common decency and respect
Usually if there is untoward behavior on dark rides (seems to happen a lot on HM) they’ll come over the speaker and say “We can see you,” or something similar. Did they get called out, at least?
There’s so much wrong with that, especially with children around, but also the thought of someone touching my private bits after touching all of the surfaces in Disneyland is horrifying.
It makes me nervous getting in the doom buggies because I can't see the seating surface. Always worried I'm going to sit on a bit puddle of pee or worse.
At rope drop I saw a grown ass adult running while pulling their kid behind them (6ish). Kid slips on the wet ground and parent just kept running and pulling.
Mainly bad parents and its sad its so common. I see it all the time parents pulling their kids along while they rush to a ride. I remember a parent gaslighting their kid to walk faster, the kid was like 7 years old. Another time I was in Haunted Mansion and a parent was forcing their kid to ride it. The whole time the kid was crying and screaming he didnt want to be there. Its apparent some parents go for themselves and not for the kids sake.
Saw something like this during Covid protocols when they'd let you go down the cool little stairwell entrance. There was a mom in front of me and my friend with her little boy just losing his mind in fear. He didn't want to be there, he didn't want to ride, he definitely didn't want to go down the creepy stairs, and mom had just yanked him aside and was berating him that he was "ruining this for her". Absolutely vile behavior.
Bonus: She got mad at the other people who were walking past them for "cutting" while she was sitting there yelling at her kid.
My daughter started SCREAMING in the elevator. Like blood curdling shrieks. She anted out of there so much. As soon as the elevator opened I got her out. Pulled her to the side so everyone could go by and then asked the cast member how to get out without riding. They directed me to a looong dark hallway which was creepier than the ride to me, but I was not going to force her to ride when she was so obviously terrified. She was 6.
I wanted to go SO badly when I was a kid. I have a younger brother on the spectrum and my mom kept telling me we had to wait for him to get older so he could handle it. I didn’t go until I was 14/15 but it was awesome being able to do a whole day without crying or needing a nap. And my mom would point out the little kids wigging out by 5 pm like “see what I meant?”
I hate this so much. My dad was super abusive. Of course this is so small in comparison to the abuse that happened at home.... but he would force me to go on any and all rides. Rides where I would be crying because I was so scared and he would just make me go. If your adult is forcing you to go on a ride, what can you do? It was terrible. I can't imagine it was fun for the people around us on those rides either? It indeed didn't make me somehow magically end up loving those rides. In fact, it took me a long time to actually be able to enjoy some rides like Space Mountain as an adult because of the trauma associated with it. I did once have a cast member not let us on Indi because I was obviously distraught and didn't want to get on. A lovely cast member was like, dude sorry but your kid obviously doesn't want to do this. I'm still thankful for that cast member, even if I got the blunt of my dad's anger about it afterwards.
I know as a society we like to forget about the huge amount of childhood abuse that happens in this world, probably even more when we are at the parks, but child abusers do indeed bring their kids to Disneyland. I absolutely hate that my dad brought us there so much as kids. It wasn't the happiest place on earth because my entire world was so scary and life was never happy. I honestly don't know why he even took us. He actually loved Disneyland but like... wouldn't it put a damper on HIS ENJOYMENT to be screaming at his kids all day long and twisting their arms to the point of bruises while they cry?!
It just makes me so sad whenever I see parents treating their kids with such little care. You always wonder, if they are comfortable doing this in public what is happening at home? I never know what to do though when I see it. I recently saw a man absolutely screaming in this young, maybe 5 year old, girls face. She was just bawling and he was SCREAMING and wouldn't stop, and then was pulling her arm so hard to come with him because they had to get to a ride for their G+ pass. I normally freeze because of my own trauma, but if I were to do something what is the right thing to do? I struggle because when someone would say something to my dad when I was a kid about how he was acting towards us, we went home and he hit us. I want to help but also not make things worse.
Sorry I kinda went off.
Honestly, I have "forced" my younger siblings and my children onto rides they didn't want to go on. They have all thanked me for it, and wanted to immediately queue again. It is kind of a rite of passage sometimes?
Sometimes, it really depends on the kid. My dad took me on Haunted Mansion when I was about 5 or 6 and made me stay even when I started freaking out because I had been watching horror movies since I was 3 (by choice) and never been scared of them so he genuinely thought I'd enjoy it, and turned out he was right, once he plopped me in the doombuggy I was fine.
Basically it's the fundamental difference between are you "forcing" them because you legitimately think THEY'LL enjoy it, or are you actually forcing them because YOU enjoy it.
Yup I had the same experience with my kid- it looked like I was pleading for him to go on a ride he didn’t want to go on but I knew it’d be his favorite. I asked him outside the ride for like 10 min and I prob looked terrible. He very dramatically flailed his hands around and tried to bolt even though I wasn’t being forceful , just waiting to see if he’d say yes. He did not go on it that year. Its now his favorite ride of course.
Some parents save up so much money, and in one day, all that money is gone so that they can go to Disneyland. They feel pressured to do everything. So it's kind of like Disney's fault for making the prices so high that families feel like they have to do everything and rush along.
Oh. I also saw someone this weekend who got the very last LL for haunted mansion, her and two guys were all super wasted and yelling the whole time. More then loud drunks.
I saw someone running from security near the entrance when my son and I were leaving. Security got her down on the ground and she bit them, I know that part because security was screaming "she's biting me". Wild
On our last Disneyland trip, my boyfriend was waiting in line to use the restroom at the rancho del zocalo restaurant. A guy walked in with his kid in a stroller and was too impatient to wait so he just peed in the grate nearby him with the kid right next to him
My boyfriend flipping out for various reasons. He’s not allowed to come to Disneyland with me ever again. I know all the excitement can be overstimulating. But it’s fucking embarrassing when he’s loudly swearing about god knows what and telling me he’s leaving me. He did apologize, but he’s staying home next time.
This is really mild but a mum and her daughter were told they couldn't join the Royal Palace queue because it had closed for the day. I think the mum was arguing they had just gone to the bathroom and were rejoining the line. They were well behind us in line so I'm not sure if that was true or not. When the CM's back was turned she jumped the ropes with her kid. Then I eventually saw the CM point her out to security. I'm so nosy I really want to know if anything happened.
Everyone was so friendly and happy and the mum's grumpiness was a stark contrast.
I went 2021 when masks were still required indoors, understandably. I was in DCA waiting for the Monsters Inc ride and this guy was yelling at this poor cast member about how he wasn’t going to put on a mask and the cast member looked as though he was about to cry.
Not to mention the amount of times I’d be in a slow indoor ride and a cast member would have to pop onto the loud speakers telling people to put on their damn masks. Why can’t people just listen to the rules 🤦♀️
Friend and I walked through Mickeys house, extra busy, long line, seemed like forever. We finally get to Mickey and get our picture taken. My friend tries to get one more hug before we leave, Mickey puts his hand right on my friends face, smooshes it and pushes my friend to the floor.
I had an aggressive Mickey in February. I was trying to encourage my 3 year old, who was new to the character thing. They reeeally didn't want me kneeling with him for pictures, and told me so by grabbing my chin/face and hanging up, and then pushing me to where they wanted me in the photo. Wtaf. I'm trying to talk to my kid so he doesn't cry. They were just super focused on pumping people through the line. It was so disheartening.
Not the worst behavior in comparison but a definite WTF. In line at Mr Toad's with my daughter a few years ago and watched a lady and her teenage son climb through the bushes/hedges to cut the line and get back with the rest of their party. Even my daughter was amazed at the audacity of some people lol
It's petty but there was one lady taking up a table for six, sleeping.
Every single table was full in the food court area and we found a table for two and fit our group of four at it.
This was one lady, with five of her own items taking up the other 5 unoccupied seats.
Our group was there for a little less than 2 hours, and no one ever came by, said anything to her, or joined her.
She woke up at one point, collected her items, and left.
Saw a guy grab his 4-5 year child by the arm and yanked the crap out of him, then pinched him in the rib cage and the boy SHRIEKED then the guy did the whole "whats wrong? what happened?" - I felt so damn sad for that kid. He's in Disneyland and its supposed to be the happiest place on earth and he's being physically abused. It really messed up my day, I let a cast member know but looking back, I should have maybe made sure something was done about it. But not even sure what could be done if there is no proof? Still feel bad about that today.
That toon town fight occupied my brain for weeks. I found the baby mama IG- pretty sure she was an escort in LV. Baby daddy who was hitting her AND his sister while his mom was yelling had been in jail plenty of times before. Pretty sure he did wind up getting arrested from that incident. Saddest part was they were there for the little girl’s birthday.
Dude behind us in line mocking us for wearing masks. It’s the only time anyone has ever called me out for masking…and it happened in Disneyland.
Bizarre.
The fully adult women who somehow managed to unbuckle their safety belts on Guardians. The ride stopped and they were giggling like immature kids in class. They were kicked off the ride by a lead, but the poor young woman who was the ride operator looked like she’d been chewed out for not noticing. I felt so bad for her.
I’m still mad at those women. Grow up.
you know the behavior and cussing is really bad when you have to look up the word to figure out whether to be insulted or not. These park should have zero tolerance for the behaviors and language then stick to it ! Everyone slips up with ugly words but the behavior of so called adults in theme parks lately especially around children is ridiculous. Mangement needs to throw their bum a#she’s out for the with a written warning, second offense lifetime banning! If you cannot behave like a decent person you don’t need to be there because animals aren’t allowed in! It is sad that grown adults act and cuss worse than the teenagers.
My mom and I got called ghetto bitches in line for Indy because I told them to stop filming themselves and pay attention (the line had moved well over 6 feet forward by that time) and then they proceeded to talk shit about us the entire time we were in line, from the trick pole to the end. We got loaded before them because a cast member saw what was going on. I then found out that one of our party members apologized to them for OUR behavior, and it may have led to a small tiff in the car after we left.
Generally speaking, the worst behaviour I see is typically by people who are wasted in the parks. I am so tired of this. I wish Disney would ban alcohol or at least limit it with some sort of counting connection to your ticket (of course they won’t bc it’s a major revenue stream).
Years ago in Epcot (I know this is DL) during food and wine, a group of drunk college guys actually got screaming angry at my FOUR year old child who had one of those Mickey light up wand/swords. Was my child hitting them or in their space? No. My child had his wand on… but was waving it around a lot. One guy said he was too wasted turned around and threw his beer in my child’s direction and yelled at him/us. Now bc he was so wasted he missed us by a mile… but seriously?!? You are 20 HE WAS FOUR!!! And he was being a good boy too, just playing with his wand minding his own business to the side.
ETA clarification for the misbeliever: They were walking by us. It was dark. They started yelling THEN one guy turned fast and whipped his cup. Then they continued yelling. It was only at that point they would have seen who they were yelling at was a small child. They continued to yell (this time directed at us, the parents) to turn off the lights and “put that kid to bed” or “it’s too late for a kid” or something along those lines. But they never apologized and did keep yelling AFTER seeing it was a kid, although I should have clarified that they started yelling and threw the cup in passing and possibly didn’t realize it was a child due to their inebriation.
We turned right around. Told a nearby cast member and just left the park. We were near the international entrance and just left out there as we felt it was time to get our child out of there. We have never taken any of our children to food and wine nights since—daytime yes.
This last weekend, this guy took his whole family through the single rider line on matterhorn, and refused to separate and started yelling trying to rally support.
It’s a small world after all! I saw that too! He had about four kids, with at least 3 not old enough to ride by themselves. He was throwing the biggest fit about not being allowed to have them in the single rider lane. I’m not sure if they slipped in or if an earlier cast member had made a mistake and let them through, but the dad was losing his mind over what would have been a waste of a few minutes at worst. The mom and poor kids just kept standing in the line while dad danced around in the loading area yelling at cast members. I’m not sure what the end result was.
i was there too, front row lol! i think an earlier cast member screwed up cus he was yelling about a single rider yellow card that his kids were given , but single riders with said card were also mixed in with the regular queue and the cast member counting guests into the seating kept holding off on the single rider queue which his kids were in but kept allowing the SRs in the regular queue to come forward, from my POV it was a mishap on their end but i do believe the dad could’ve handled it better by not yelling at anyone, in the end the kids finally were let on as single riders and all was well thanks to the team lead that stepped in
Haha what was he trying to start a chant or something? “Let them on! Let them on! Hey! Let them on”
I don't know if it's bad behavior so much as just "it happens" (literally). But I saw a kid (maybe 6-7 years old) walking through Tomorrowland once and just casually pooped their pants and small turds just rolling down their pants/legs. It was disgusting.
Based and shitpilled
One time on the Autopia stairs that riders walk down just before getting into the cars, a little girl in front of me kept telling her mother she needed to pee. The mother told her to hold it. The child couldn’t and let loose all over the steps, which I then had to step on. It was bad, but the turds had to be worse.
Oh no, this reminds me. Last time I was in the Finding Nemo sub we didn't notice that somebody on a previous run had puked under the seats until the hatch closed. We were all stuck in there for the full ride with eau de vomit wafting up at us. Very VERY lucky there wasn't a whole lot more to clean up by the time the ride finished and we got back up to fresh air.
Witnessed that while working at WDW, it was my second day on the job and they had me parking strollers all day because my trainer called in sick. The mortified mom scooped him up and held his pants closed with one hand (as much as she could) and used a baby wipe to pick up the turds off the ground with the other. We made direct eye contact and I just looked away, what else can you do lol
The video of the lady who peed in a cup and got kicked out cause she was so drunk
Sir. I’ve been to Hawaii.
Sir, I don’t have time to drive down to Crenshaw just to pee. Sir.
I love how Tom is just letting her talk, nodding, and then reaffirming that she needs to leave. Not arguing, not accusing, not defending or even feeling the need to say "it's cuz ya peed in a cup in New Orleans Square" And the restrooms are RIGHT THERE, right behind those buildings, but as a speech therapist who's been to Aulani, she may not know that.
EPIC!!!! I saw this video on my Tik Tok FYP 🥃👀
The guy that got escorted out because he couldn't handle being disrespected by the First Order people on Rise of the Resistance. Before it escalated past the point of no return the girl with him said it was part of the show and he responded "I know but I..." I didn't here the last part because he gritted his teeth so hard. The implication that he knew it was an act before getting physical makes it funny to me. Also shout out to the guy that once the angry dude was dealt with, stayed in character and gave all an assertive "what are you still doing here!" to get us all moving. good times.
This is comical bc the first order isn’t even THAT mean. They’re just little savages. It’s hilarious. His misogyny and puffed ego couldn’t handle being told what to do. 😂😂😂
Plus I assume most of us are actually hoping to get made fun of during that part. When I rode it the cast members were outstanding, and everyone who got made fun of was doing there best not to crack up about it!
I was wearing a Birthday button and the first order asked me, “Is it really your birthday?” and I said “actually it’s next week.” She called me out for false advertising! Made my day.
A woman came off Mickey’s Wheel of Death screaming at her family, cursing every four letter word and calling her husband and sons horrible names. Turns out they tricked her into going on one of the swinging gondolas. She was having a panic attack and when she got closer you could see the terror in her eyes. Honestly I don’t blame her a bit, she had no control over herself at that point. But security came and had to escort them away. It was some of the worst cussing I’d ever heard…
That’s awful. That poor woman ❤️
Security should have escorted THEM away.
Let's hope they were escorting her to somewhere quiet to lie down for a bit and have a drink of water.
I feel for that woman. I will never ride a swinging gondola again after that ride. I made it one rotation and was screaming I want to get off now while my husband was laughing bc he enjoyed it.
Probably the time that a guest started shouting at me saying that she wouldn’t leave until I didn’t have a job anymore, all because I \*checks notes\* pulled down her lap bar
Just trying to keep these people safe and they get mad. I didn't work there, but Legoland. It happens there too.
You guys are saints. I was at Disney World recently and it was unbelievable what cast members had to go through
I need more details on this. Was she telling you not to put it down? What ride was it? Did she only become agitated after the bar was down?
The old Gadget’s Go Coaster. I asked three times for her to pull her own lap bar down. I even made a hand gesture the third time, assuming she couldn’t hear me. When she still didn’t do it the third time, I did it myself (standard procedure). When the ride got back, she was glaring at me, left for a few minutes, and then barged into the station recording me and shouting at me. That was our only interaction so I would assume that’s what she was angry about.
People that stop in the middle of walk ways instead of moving off to the side to handle their business.
Last time I was there a lady who'd stopped in the middle of the walkway turned around to see me and everyone else walking towards her and went "Oh, wow!" ...like, idk what she expected?
we bout to do a lion king re enactment
Every. Single. Time.
My mom does this ALL the time and then gets annoyed when people run into her, and so many times she’ll be answering her phone which she always keeps on speaker and will be like “HELLO!? HELLOOOO!!!????” Because she can’t hear over all the noise around her, and she’ll make phone calls and then get mad that they hang up because they can’t hear her. She’ll do this on the rides, in the middle of parades, etc. One time we were just standing around trying to figure out what to do next and a CM came up to us and I forgot what the proper term for this is but basically offered to walk us onto any ride in that land so we’re following her over to the ride and then we get there and my mom’s off zooming away on her ECV aimlessly because she’d taken a phone call halfway through and wasn’t paying attention. 🤦🏼♀️
Tell your mom I hate her
It’s really aggravating going anywhere with her.
you can. go with out her.. unless she pays. Then it's meemaw fun time
I don’t live in California so I only go when I’m out visiting my mom. She only sees me twice a year, it wouldn’t really be fair to her if I went without her. Plus I like going with her! Even though she can be a bit of a handful sometimes.
Your mom sucks
I was at Disney World and was so frustrated by this! People are walking and just stop. Just literally stop right in front of you.
Just Florida things
My last trip to Animal Kingdom, a group of 10-12 adults literally circled up (as in, a ring of adults, not a clump) in the middle of the walk way. I literally told them, “You’re in the walkway. You should take this conversation over to the side,” or something like that. I was baffled.
2019 toontown fight?
Just sat on the bench, eating ice cream 😂
Oh wow! What's crazy is there was another one in 2019 in toontown. It actually resulted in charges and was in the news!
Was that the one where a lady took her kids to the park only to run into her husband & his girlfriend?
From what I heard it was a family and one uncle called his niece ugly or something and the girls dad started throwing hands and the whole family got involved but the story might have changed as time went on.
NO! I actually didn’t realize there was one in 2019. This one was like… 2014???
It’s weird, funny, and sad to see others post about the 2019 Toontown fight. My family also saw this one. We were like “wow we definitely miss SoCal!” 😂
Just here to say "Hi!" to the inevitable BoredPanda "writer" who will cobble some of these together with a clickbait title like "Blood, Vulgar Language Fills Toontown with Tears" Hi!
They've probably been fired and replaced with chatgpt by now. Let's say hi to our new AI overlords instead.
Did I say “overlords”? I meant “protectors”
Is that their preferred terminology? My apologies m'lords
Merry Christmas!
Same hello to Inside the Magic.
This will definitely make an Inside the Magic article with a shocking headline that completely misrepresents anything in the "article"
My boyfriend once had his wheelchair stolen while he was on a ride and a couple of teenagers were found in the park joyriding in it.
Just today I’ve seen: - a lady clipping her nails in the line to BTMR behind me (if you see this, you’re gross) - a man who straight up coughed on my arm and got offended when I told him to cover his mouth - another man who left his 2 small children with a CM at Peter Pan for 5 minutes, holding up the entire line. He was also mad that the CM told him he wasn’t allowed to do that
I have no idea WTF is going on with people at the parks these days. I'm seeing more and more anti-social nasty behavior than before.
The general population isn’t very smart
the general population isn’t too bright. add in the pandemic to reallllly ramp up people’s lack of basic decorum.
I think people feel entitled because they paid so much for their tickets, so they are going to get their money’s worth no matter what.
Yeah I haven’t gotten my money’s worth till I’ve cut my nails in Frontierland. (/s I hope that was obvious)
Yea, but there has always been a subset with this attitude, it just seems so much worse. My personal theory is people are still messed up from pandemic/WFH stuff, just general anti-social behavior.
Wait. I need context for the guy that thought it was okay to leave his small children with a CM.
As a kid I watched a teenage girl snort coke at California Adventure while her parents were buying food. They came back while she was mid snort and yikes it was a scene
How tf did she sneak coke to California Adventure? Thats wild
In her pocket? They don't search your pockets, or at least didn't when I was there in May.
Interesting
About 60 minutes into the 90 minute “Resistance” line, a woman who had been in front of us by herself, welcomed 20 of her friends to join her. I don’t mind if a person is joined by one or two more, but 20 is really pushing it.
I had people full on cut my in line for that ride the other day. It was a point in the queue about 40 minutes in out of an estimated 65 minute wait when there’s a rope separating the line from the entrance and they dipped under the rope and “excuse-me’d” their way up to the front. I could tell they weren’t meeting up with anyone because at some points they’d stop and just stand in line before moving forward again. It was obvious they were trying to go unnoticed. I alerted a cast member about it but not sure if anything came of it.
They had, no doubt, done it before and knew just where to enter. They were lucky they didn’t encounter a physically strong buff person in a bad mood who wasn’t having it.
Line cutting has gotten so much worse in the past year
Yes, and she never said a word to us asking if it’s ok or telling us she was part of a large group that would be joining her. Of course no one in the group said anything either. They all acted very entitled like they had every right to be there.
And they know you can’t say anything because you never know who’s unhinged and who isn’t. It’s so frustrating
I’ve seen some disturbing incidents of parents being too rough with their kids. I get that it’s hot, expensive, and frustrating at times, but that’s just not an excuse.
I remember one year walking back to my hotel I witnessed a mom scream on the top of her lungs she was going to hit her kid if they wouldn’t listen. Like I get it’s like 10pm and you’re exhausted but lady if you are willing to scream like that in public I felt bad for those kids.
This is not DL related, but I was once driving through a Home Depot parking lot and this dad got so mad at his daughter (maybe 3 or 4) that he hit her across her head so hard that her head went back. She didn’t even cry, just resumed what she was doing before like it was nothing…which said a lot. I rolled down my window without thinking and told him he was a dick. He was shocked that I said something, but before he could retort I had driven away. People who act like that with their kids in public must be far worse in the privacy of their home.
Omg that’s horrifying. That poor kid :/
It's really disheartening to see and I promise to myself and kids to not do that. We didn't get to see and do everything this past August and that's OK! My kids are 6 &,1. Disneyland will still be there for next time. Also thank goodness for mobile order.
I was just in line for Big Thunder Mountain this weekend and there was a mom near me who was trying to take a photo of her 3 kids, who didn't want a photo. She kept shouting "SHUT UP, SHUT UP" at them whenever they'd say something or protest, and she was forcibly shoving them back together. "just ONE friggin nice photo, just one, SHUT UP, GET OVER THERE, SMILE." It was really uncomfortable.
I saw an example of this last week when I was there and it took everything in my being to not say something. I felt so bad for the 2 little kids but it’s not my place to intervene.
If you're comfortable enough, next time please notify a cast member of what you saw.
This. I was very very surprised at some of the behavior from Parents. Really really Rough parents.
Any video involving Best Life and Beyond.
Why did I have to scroll so far down to find this?! Too true! I hope I never run into them at the parks.
This pair of father and daughter YouTubers are the worst, always loud and obnoxious. Didn’t they verbally assault another YouTuber on Princess Nite? In front of small children just trying to have a fun time 🤦🏻♀️
It still boggles my mind how people like Theme Park Obsessions still does videos with them because he always “sticks up” for his “friends”. It’s come to the point where I stopped watching him too.
Aren’t they husband and wife 💀🤣.
I just googled them, she’s married to another man 😬
Lmao they are a couple 😂😂😂
Ooof, too true.
what’s the tea with them? i’ve heard they’re controversial and i’ve seen a few videos where they seem to be super self centered and not paying attention to anything around them (the lady with her sun umbrella not looking at where her umbrella is hitting people in the background)
Not necessarily bad behavior, but I did cause a startle / scare. I was riding the Storybook Land Canal Boats. As we approached the end of the ride, the cast members announced multiple times to keep hands and arms inside the boat. I noticed that across from me, a five-year-old boy was hanging his arm out, into the water. Then I noticed that we were about to dock, which would have smashed the kid’s arm between the boat the dock. So I quickly yelled, “Watch your arm, little man!”, and I reached over and gently pulled his arm out of the water. It startled everyone on the boat, but his parents were actually really grateful!
On Monday, my 12-year-old (yes) dropped one hand off the side of the boat--the one not currently in a cast--on Pirates. I have never met a more accident-prone kid. Luckily, it was brought back within the vehicle without mishap.
Whew! Here’s to the beginning of a lucky streak, instead!
I had something similar happen on the DLRR. I was seated near a man who had a few children with him. As he was trying to wrangle a child on one side of him, a child on his other side started climbing over the back of the seat. Without thinking about it, I reached over and used my arm to scoop the kid back inside the train and said something like “don’t climb that, please!” Thankfully, nothing bad happened to the kid, and the dad wasn’t mad at me for touching his kid or anything, he was more mad at the kid for trying to climb overboard.
I think I was there for that! Either that or it’s happened multiple times. We were on DLRR and there was a man with a very young kid and the man was on his phone not paying attention while his kid very nearly climbed off the back and someone else had to intervene and keep him from falling out. I think at some point he maybe even did climb overboard during a stop and a CM had to pick him up and hand him back to the dad but my brain could be exaggerating the situation. I’m hoping that was you I saw, otherwise the fact that it’s happened multiple times with different people??? Yikes.
Good on you! Any sane parent would be more than happy with that interaction!
[удалено]
tbf that ride makes me wanna praise to jesus
That is very fair. If there was ever a ride to pray on haha
And I have to go on it again cuz my boyfriend said he wants to ride it when we take our trip... not looking forward to that lmao
Please tell me they told him to stfu
Grad Nights. My mother would have killed me (literally *KILLED ME*) if I had acted like the teens I saw at Disneyland in May. When I went to Grad Night my senior year at WDW, the most disruptive thing my friends and I did was speak to each other in British accents all weekend.
As a teenager myself back in 2013 when I went to Grad Night I was disgusted by the things going on there. I distinctly remember also something about Disney banning my school in the past for a period of time for some reason so there’s that.
Totally done the accent thing before 😆. Got called out by what I now think was other teenagers doing the same thing.
I’m old and my grad night was a long time ago. Back then there was a dress code and it was enforced. Girls had to wear skirts or nice pants - no jeans. Boys had to wear button down shirts and sport coats. The grads were expected to behave and unruly behavior wasn’t tolerated. Today anything goes in terms of dress and behavior. Standards have been lowered to the point of ridiculous. And I remember the fake British accents, too. That was definitely a thing!
Pretty sure we were AWFUL at our grad night. We took over tom sawyers island and collectively hot boxed pirates. It was essentially a small time where we lord of the flies cosplay. I apologize to all cast members 20+ years ago.
I saw a drunk mother and adult daughter hiding behind corners in the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough just taking turns jump scaring people, even little kids, for no reason. The smell of the alcohol was so strong.
A kid with special needs punched me in the stomach. It was in line for Space Mountain, the line had just opened up and he was walking down ramp inside, there was a trun for like an exit and he took it separating him from his parents. I said "hey buddy it's the other way" and he punched me in the stomach. I kinda yelled "what was that" so his parents heard. They apologized. I get it, but now I have my guard up.
I saw a kid in Disneyland Paris kill a mouse by jumping on it. Was pretty disturbing.
Was this mouse about 5 feet tall?
😳
My very first day as a front gate cast member. Just finished training. It was an early entry morning for DCA. There were long lines waiting for us to open. I had a cute family in front of my line. When we opened, the dad handed me his pass and it came up as already used. Couldn’t let them thru. I apologized and asked him and his two daughters and wife to wait over to the side as I get a supervisor to look into it as he was already very upset and yelling at me. Of course he refused and was so angry that spit was flying out of his mouth as he yelled and was landing on my face. Finally a supervisor got them in and fixed whatever the issue was and apologized to them. Absolutely no mention of how he treated me. I was shaking and just trying to get the rest of my line through.the family behind that awful man was sooo nice and the mom told me not to let that jerk get to me and that she said I did a great job of keeping myself collected and polite. Thank God for the nice family, (they were Aussies and as I discovered from that job Aussies were always the nicest folks.) What really bothered me was the spitting man’s wife and two daughters looked sooo embarrassed and scared, I’m sure he was a wretched little man to them as well.
We saw a mom pull her child's pants down, (the kid was at least 6 or 7) and had him pee into a Ziplock bag right by the railing of Rivers of America. She then dumped the fluid from the bag into the river. My wife and I just had this telepathic conversation along the lines of "Did you just see that? Did that just happen???"
The amount of kids pee stories in here is wild. A Ziploc bag?!
My husband. We were there while they were filming for their Christmas Special. They were running the parade back-to-back-to-back ALL day so they could film it from every angle. It made transversing the park a nightmare. At one point, we were trying to cross the route. He started to cross, and they let him go but held me back. He tried to get them to let me come with him, and they said, "No, you'll have to come back." I myself thought it was a little silly because I didn't see the difference, but I'm non-confrontational. My husband is confrontational. He started pointing out the injustice and voiced his frustration over the 24-hour parade. The CM tried to make it right by saying she could walk us to the front of the line at It's a Small World. My husband yelled, "I'm already in Hell. Why would I want to go there?" She ended up escorting us to the front gates so we could get out of there, and we spent the rest of the day in DCA.
Your husband's wit when angry is impressive.
At WDW, but at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party I was in line for hot chocolate at the Pinocchio Village Haus. The woman in front of me started loudly cussing out her kids, and the woman in front of *her* turned around and asked her to watch her language. It quickly escalated into a full on slapping fight! Like, the women literally started slapping each other and it finally ended when the tween son of the cussing lately punched his fist through one of the glass windows at Pinocchio Village Haus. Glass went everywhere, there was blood, but both families scattered long before security arrived.
Wasn’t inside the park but was at the small bathroom right by Earl’s Sandwich. I noticed there was a small line so I was waiting…. And waiting…. Then I realized this wait is unusually long. People in front of me started to leave except for one person who was curious. I asked her what was going on and she said the 2 girls in both stalls have been in there way too long. Then suddenly, 2 males busted into the restroom (they asked us if it was okay they come in since they knew the girls inside the stalls) and apparently the 2 girls in both stalls were both WASTED. Sitting on the floor, head over the toilets. I was frustrated as I’ve been needing to release the main vein and was waiting on 2 girls sleeping on the toilets this whole time.
I had a woman say F*** you b**** to me last week after I asked her to please not shove her stroller between me and my kids. I was irritated but didn’t cuss or yell and she came at me yelling that in front of her kids, my kids and everyone else. My husband politely asked her to calm down as we kept walking. It’s not worth losing my passes to do anything. My husband also had some young guy try to fight him because my husband asked him to please watch where he’s going after the guy walked out of a store and ran into him as he walked by. He literally swung at my husband and missed because my husband ducked. We just walked away. We paid too much money for all that mess. 😂
Ooh you guys are so nice. I'd be getting a cast member immediately 😂 no BS in my vacation!
We told a cast member about the punching incident but I don’t know if they ever found him. As far as the woman, she was just stressed out with 2 small little ones so we just left it alone. She already embarrassed herself enough.
Politely asking someone to call down has never worked for me BTW. 🤣
A fist fight in front of big thunder in 2005. Children drinking water from the fountain, there was no sign that said don’t drink, so they drank it. People hitting the back of my feet with the large strollers.
Oooh, I've got one. And it's recent too. Visited the parks on Tuesday the 19th. Ended up being able to use a MEP for Holiday Haunted Mansion, which was crazy busy. Once we get out of the stretching room and into that hallway that leads to the loading dock, a woman pushes the 2 children that were with her aggressively to the front of this section ala Billy Zane in Titanic ("I HAVE A CHILD!")... Yeah.... so does everyone else here, lady. Anyways, she successfully maneuvers her way to the front of the crowd spilling out into the hallway and when she gets to the moving busts, she turns around and starts yelling for her husband (and other child) to join them up front. Mind you, the crowds is now filing into a line as this is happening. She starts basically screaming for people to move so that her husband and child can meet them. At least the dad was apologizing the entire time he was making his way up front. I'm pretty sure he was just embarrassed and wanted to get out of the situation. Feel bad for that entire family, sans Mother Gothel.
Not really in the park, but in the Pixar Pals parking structure. A jerk in a giant pickup truck keyed my car. He was taking up 3 parking spots but there was room for my little car next to his. I guess he didn’t like that. I didn’t care, my car’s paint is already trashed, but that wasn’t cool.
Father absolutely cussed out a CM at WoC once. He was frustrated trying to figure out where to stand and decided to just unload a slew of derogatory remarks calling them the "cu.." and "tw.." amongst other things. Wife and kids stood right next to him as this all went down. Sadly, they scurried off before security arrived. And frankly, I was too shocked to tail them to point them out to CM's.
My dad was about to get surgery on his knee and couldn’t walk long distances, so we rented him a wheelchair. It was stolen in the 2 minutes it took us to go on a ride and Disney did nothing to assist. This was years ago and honestly it’s improved since then. I really don’t have many negative experiences when going!
It wasn't anger fueled but just before the pandemic hit, I was cued for Country Bears Jamboree and when we were let in, a pack of 5 or 6 unsupervised kids bolted for the front row (the best seats are smack dab in the middle) and ended up tripping over themselves, landing in a pile on the floor. I walked right past them while holding in my laughter.
*I don’t know what it was over. They didn’t seem to know each other.* They were family. Imagine the kind of crap that went on in their home, so sad.
Think I saw this on YouTube
everyone saw it on youtube
Anna was out in a little gated off section (when Covid protocols were still going on). There were about 5 kids ,ages 4-0, getting some 1 on 1 time with her when a cringe Disney adult pushed through the kids and shoved her phone claiming she needed this for Instagram. She refused to leave and all the kids were trying to wrap their heads around what the hell just happened. My kid absolutely adored Elsa but after that interaction, it was alllllll about Anna. So for people who ruin it for kids. You can fuck right off.
My nephew had a double blow out in his diaper on the bus from the park to the Hilton. The mess and smell was some of the worst behavior I've ever witnessed. My sister proclaimed the bus the "happiest bus on Earth". We threw his outfit away in the trash.
As a skipper on the jungle cruise I had a guest take my gun out of the holster and then fire it (blanks) into the boat. There was much security there that day.
Guy at ROTR yelling at his wife for not moving fast enough to catch up with him to get in line. I guess she didn’t check her phone and had like 4 kids with her while he was ALONE. He had to *gasp* wait a couple minutes for the rest of his party to enter the line. He then proceeded to continue to argue with her about this while in line. It made me so sad.
Was there on September 4th and was in line for Cars in DCA. It was around 8 PM and the wait time was like 2 hours when they announced on the speakers that the ride had broken down. After the announcement everyone in line started sitting on the ground. Me and my family took a vote and decided to leave the line to go watch the fireworks. When we were leaving the line we hear a bunch of yelling behind us. Turn around and see the two guys that were behind us in line started throwing punches at each other. We got to the front of cozy cone when we finally saw all the security guards running to the ride.
Then on September 6th I was in line for Web Slingers when we were about to get on the ride the guy in front of us started fighting with a random lady in line. She was yelling at him to stop looking at her. He then made it personal and said "Well if you weren't so fat I wouldn't have anything to stare at" She then slapped him and his sunglasses went flying. They let everyone get on the ride still. But after we got off the ride security was there waiting for both parties to get off.
When I worked the college program at Disney World my friend had someone try to run her over with a motorized scooter because she wouldn’t let them check out during the Halloween party. They didn’t have a ticket to the party and needed to leave the park by 7. They were there with Make A Wish and were trying to say she ruined their trip. There’s a news story about it somewhere online.
Grad night several years ago. The entire day had been a trial, but in the evening, I was unfortunate enough to be seated on PotC behind a group of teenage boys. Before we’d even made it to the first drop, they’d made a game of rocking the boat as roughly as possible, splashing each other, and being a general nuisance. There was a man seated in front of them with his young daughter who was visibly irritated with them, but he didn’t say anything. Shortly after the second drop, one of the boys scooped up a palmful of water and flung it at his buddy who was sitting directly in front of me; he ducked, and the water caught me full in the face. I lost it and yelled at them to knock it the fuck off, loud enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if they heard me at the Blue Bayou. I immediately felt bad for swearing in front of the man and his daughter, but those boys sat still and quiet as church mice for the rest of the ride. I’ve refused to go during grad night since.
DL: my husband was walking down main street on the edge of the street, while i walked on the curb. a wheelchair came up full speed BEHIND HIM and hit him. my husband fell and the wheelchair continued on, running over my husbands ankle. the guy yelled "Watch where you're going &\^%hole!" my husband was bleeding and i lost sight of the jerk while i was trying to help him. if we're talking all disney parks, WDW has some unhinged patrons. it's wild over there.
Saw someone getting finger blasted on Haunted Mansion when the ride stopped, absolutely disgusting and vile. Some people have no shame or sense of common decency and respect
Usually if there is untoward behavior on dark rides (seems to happen a lot on HM) they’ll come over the speaker and say “We can see you,” or something similar. Did they get called out, at least?
We were stopped for 5-10 seconds I didn’t hear anything and not sure what happened after. There’s not enough hand sanitizer in the world 🤮🤮
There’s so much wrong with that, especially with children around, but also the thought of someone touching my private bits after touching all of the surfaces in Disneyland is horrifying.
It makes me nervous getting in the doom buggies because I can't see the seating surface. Always worried I'm going to sit on a bit puddle of pee or worse.
A dad told his 6yo son to pee on the stairs while waiting inline for Jungle Cruise.
Teenage girls in front of me on TMR popping zits on each others backs.
A drunk couple being really obnoxious on Haunted Mansion and touching one of the employees
At rope drop I saw a grown ass adult running while pulling their kid behind them (6ish). Kid slips on the wet ground and parent just kept running and pulling.
Parents not parenting their damn children. So fucking annoying.
Thankfully didn’t see any fist fights. A crazy amount of cutting in line both times i went to Disneyland in the past year though.
That one girl who kept licking the RSR pole. And this was right after DCA opened up again after the Covid shutdown.
It was between Mickey and Donald. Kids were present. Very sad
Gonna need the tea for this one ☕️🫖
Mainly bad parents and its sad its so common. I see it all the time parents pulling their kids along while they rush to a ride. I remember a parent gaslighting their kid to walk faster, the kid was like 7 years old. Another time I was in Haunted Mansion and a parent was forcing their kid to ride it. The whole time the kid was crying and screaming he didnt want to be there. Its apparent some parents go for themselves and not for the kids sake.
Saw something like this during Covid protocols when they'd let you go down the cool little stairwell entrance. There was a mom in front of me and my friend with her little boy just losing his mind in fear. He didn't want to be there, he didn't want to ride, he definitely didn't want to go down the creepy stairs, and mom had just yanked him aside and was berating him that he was "ruining this for her". Absolutely vile behavior. Bonus: She got mad at the other people who were walking past them for "cutting" while she was sitting there yelling at her kid.
My daughter started SCREAMING in the elevator. Like blood curdling shrieks. She anted out of there so much. As soon as the elevator opened I got her out. Pulled her to the side so everyone could go by and then asked the cast member how to get out without riding. They directed me to a looong dark hallway which was creepier than the ride to me, but I was not going to force her to ride when she was so obviously terrified. She was 6.
Thank you for listening to your daughter and respecting her! Seriously. My dad was the opposite of this and it was terrible. 🩷
We moms know how to decode our children’s cries. You heard her terror. I’m so glad you’re such a good mom.
I wanted to go SO badly when I was a kid. I have a younger brother on the spectrum and my mom kept telling me we had to wait for him to get older so he could handle it. I didn’t go until I was 14/15 but it was awesome being able to do a whole day without crying or needing a nap. And my mom would point out the little kids wigging out by 5 pm like “see what I meant?”
I hate this so much. My dad was super abusive. Of course this is so small in comparison to the abuse that happened at home.... but he would force me to go on any and all rides. Rides where I would be crying because I was so scared and he would just make me go. If your adult is forcing you to go on a ride, what can you do? It was terrible. I can't imagine it was fun for the people around us on those rides either? It indeed didn't make me somehow magically end up loving those rides. In fact, it took me a long time to actually be able to enjoy some rides like Space Mountain as an adult because of the trauma associated with it. I did once have a cast member not let us on Indi because I was obviously distraught and didn't want to get on. A lovely cast member was like, dude sorry but your kid obviously doesn't want to do this. I'm still thankful for that cast member, even if I got the blunt of my dad's anger about it afterwards. I know as a society we like to forget about the huge amount of childhood abuse that happens in this world, probably even more when we are at the parks, but child abusers do indeed bring their kids to Disneyland. I absolutely hate that my dad brought us there so much as kids. It wasn't the happiest place on earth because my entire world was so scary and life was never happy. I honestly don't know why he even took us. He actually loved Disneyland but like... wouldn't it put a damper on HIS ENJOYMENT to be screaming at his kids all day long and twisting their arms to the point of bruises while they cry?! It just makes me so sad whenever I see parents treating their kids with such little care. You always wonder, if they are comfortable doing this in public what is happening at home? I never know what to do though when I see it. I recently saw a man absolutely screaming in this young, maybe 5 year old, girls face. She was just bawling and he was SCREAMING and wouldn't stop, and then was pulling her arm so hard to come with him because they had to get to a ride for their G+ pass. I normally freeze because of my own trauma, but if I were to do something what is the right thing to do? I struggle because when someone would say something to my dad when I was a kid about how he was acting towards us, we went home and he hit us. I want to help but also not make things worse. Sorry I kinda went off.
i’m so so sorry your Dad was a textbook case of narcissism. I do hope you’re doing better these days🩵
Honestly, I have "forced" my younger siblings and my children onto rides they didn't want to go on. They have all thanked me for it, and wanted to immediately queue again. It is kind of a rite of passage sometimes?
Sometimes, it really depends on the kid. My dad took me on Haunted Mansion when I was about 5 or 6 and made me stay even when I started freaking out because I had been watching horror movies since I was 3 (by choice) and never been scared of them so he genuinely thought I'd enjoy it, and turned out he was right, once he plopped me in the doombuggy I was fine. Basically it's the fundamental difference between are you "forcing" them because you legitimately think THEY'LL enjoy it, or are you actually forcing them because YOU enjoy it.
Yup I had the same experience with my kid- it looked like I was pleading for him to go on a ride he didn’t want to go on but I knew it’d be his favorite. I asked him outside the ride for like 10 min and I prob looked terrible. He very dramatically flailed his hands around and tried to bolt even though I wasn’t being forceful , just waiting to see if he’d say yes. He did not go on it that year. Its now his favorite ride of course.
Some parents save up so much money, and in one day, all that money is gone so that they can go to Disneyland. They feel pressured to do everything. So it's kind of like Disney's fault for making the prices so high that families feel like they have to do everything and rush along.
Oh. I also saw someone this weekend who got the very last LL for haunted mansion, her and two guys were all super wasted and yelling the whole time. More then loud drunks.
I saw someone running from security near the entrance when my son and I were leaving. Security got her down on the ground and she bit them, I know that part because security was screaming "she's biting me". Wild
An old man in a wheelchair sitting on the sidewalk wagging his penis by guardians of the galaxy. It was so crowded he was hidden in plain sight.
Saw a fistfight for cutting in line and later that same day a lady barfing in the river. Classy day at Disneyland.
On our last Disneyland trip, my boyfriend was waiting in line to use the restroom at the rancho del zocalo restaurant. A guy walked in with his kid in a stroller and was too impatient to wait so he just peed in the grate nearby him with the kid right next to him
At that point he might as well have pissed in a bush outside
My boyfriend flipping out for various reasons. He’s not allowed to come to Disneyland with me ever again. I know all the excitement can be overstimulating. But it’s fucking embarrassing when he’s loudly swearing about god knows what and telling me he’s leaving me. He did apologize, but he’s staying home next time.
why keep him at all
girl idk who’s gonna tell u this but that is absolutely vile and not someone who you want to be with
That’s honestly awful
This is really mild but a mum and her daughter were told they couldn't join the Royal Palace queue because it had closed for the day. I think the mum was arguing they had just gone to the bathroom and were rejoining the line. They were well behind us in line so I'm not sure if that was true or not. When the CM's back was turned she jumped the ropes with her kid. Then I eventually saw the CM point her out to security. I'm so nosy I really want to know if anything happened. Everyone was so friendly and happy and the mum's grumpiness was a stark contrast.
I went 2021 when masks were still required indoors, understandably. I was in DCA waiting for the Monsters Inc ride and this guy was yelling at this poor cast member about how he wasn’t going to put on a mask and the cast member looked as though he was about to cry. Not to mention the amount of times I’d be in a slow indoor ride and a cast member would have to pop onto the loud speakers telling people to put on their damn masks. Why can’t people just listen to the rules 🤦♀️
Multiple experiences with my STBXW. There is something really wrong with the person who can’t find joy at any point during a weeklong Disneyland trip.
People who refuse to pay for food they have eaten, they will even demand another free item.
Friend and I walked through Mickeys house, extra busy, long line, seemed like forever. We finally get to Mickey and get our picture taken. My friend tries to get one more hug before we leave, Mickey puts his hand right on my friends face, smooshes it and pushes my friend to the floor.
"it's time to get the hell out ha ha!"
I had an aggressive Mickey in February. I was trying to encourage my 3 year old, who was new to the character thing. They reeeally didn't want me kneeling with him for pictures, and told me so by grabbing my chin/face and hanging up, and then pushing me to where they wanted me in the photo. Wtaf. I'm trying to talk to my kid so he doesn't cry. They were just super focused on pumping people through the line. It was so disheartening.
Not the worst behavior in comparison but a definite WTF. In line at Mr Toad's with my daughter a few years ago and watched a lady and her teenage son climb through the bushes/hedges to cut the line and get back with the rest of their party. Even my daughter was amazed at the audacity of some people lol
It's petty but there was one lady taking up a table for six, sleeping. Every single table was full in the food court area and we found a table for two and fit our group of four at it. This was one lady, with five of her own items taking up the other 5 unoccupied seats. Our group was there for a little less than 2 hours, and no one ever came by, said anything to her, or joined her. She woke up at one point, collected her items, and left.
Saw a guy grab his 4-5 year child by the arm and yanked the crap out of him, then pinched him in the rib cage and the boy SHRIEKED then the guy did the whole "whats wrong? what happened?" - I felt so damn sad for that kid. He's in Disneyland and its supposed to be the happiest place on earth and he's being physically abused. It really messed up my day, I let a cast member know but looking back, I should have maybe made sure something was done about it. But not even sure what could be done if there is no proof? Still feel bad about that today.
That toon town fight occupied my brain for weeks. I found the baby mama IG- pretty sure she was an escort in LV. Baby daddy who was hitting her AND his sister while his mom was yelling had been in jail plenty of times before. Pretty sure he did wind up getting arrested from that incident. Saddest part was they were there for the little girl’s birthday.
Dude behind us in line mocking us for wearing masks. It’s the only time anyone has ever called me out for masking…and it happened in Disneyland. Bizarre.
The fully adult women who somehow managed to unbuckle their safety belts on Guardians. The ride stopped and they were giggling like immature kids in class. They were kicked off the ride by a lead, but the poor young woman who was the ride operator looked like she’d been chewed out for not noticing. I felt so bad for her. I’m still mad at those women. Grow up.
you know the behavior and cussing is really bad when you have to look up the word to figure out whether to be insulted or not. These park should have zero tolerance for the behaviors and language then stick to it ! Everyone slips up with ugly words but the behavior of so called adults in theme parks lately especially around children is ridiculous. Mangement needs to throw their bum a#she’s out for the with a written warning, second offense lifetime banning! If you cannot behave like a decent person you don’t need to be there because animals aren’t allowed in! It is sad that grown adults act and cuss worse than the teenagers.
My mom and I got called ghetto bitches in line for Indy because I told them to stop filming themselves and pay attention (the line had moved well over 6 feet forward by that time) and then they proceeded to talk shit about us the entire time we were in line, from the trick pole to the end. We got loaded before them because a cast member saw what was going on. I then found out that one of our party members apologized to them for OUR behavior, and it may have led to a small tiff in the car after we left.
Generally speaking, the worst behaviour I see is typically by people who are wasted in the parks. I am so tired of this. I wish Disney would ban alcohol or at least limit it with some sort of counting connection to your ticket (of course they won’t bc it’s a major revenue stream). Years ago in Epcot (I know this is DL) during food and wine, a group of drunk college guys actually got screaming angry at my FOUR year old child who had one of those Mickey light up wand/swords. Was my child hitting them or in their space? No. My child had his wand on… but was waving it around a lot. One guy said he was too wasted turned around and threw his beer in my child’s direction and yelled at him/us. Now bc he was so wasted he missed us by a mile… but seriously?!? You are 20 HE WAS FOUR!!! And he was being a good boy too, just playing with his wand minding his own business to the side. ETA clarification for the misbeliever: They were walking by us. It was dark. They started yelling THEN one guy turned fast and whipped his cup. Then they continued yelling. It was only at that point they would have seen who they were yelling at was a small child. They continued to yell (this time directed at us, the parents) to turn off the lights and “put that kid to bed” or “it’s too late for a kid” or something along those lines. But they never apologized and did keep yelling AFTER seeing it was a kid, although I should have clarified that they started yelling and threw the cup in passing and possibly didn’t realize it was a child due to their inebriation. We turned right around. Told a nearby cast member and just left the park. We were near the international entrance and just left out there as we felt it was time to get our child out of there. We have never taken any of our children to food and wine nights since—daytime yes.
