:lol: Erm...OK.

*Back on Topic* :o Has anyone ever got into an argument with anyone at DLRP? Like a random person, or one of the people you're on holiday with?

Some woman pushed my 8 yr old daughter aside-roughly.  Well I wasn't having any of that! Went into 'overprotective mother' mode and went after her and gave her a right tellling off.  Argued for a good few minutes and I did get pretty angry :oops: (At 5'10 & in full flow I can be pretty scary! :lol: )
I wouldn't normally mind, I try to stay above all the queue jumping, but as a fully grown woman you dont shove an 8 year old out of your way! :shock:

Nice one girl, I was seconds away from knocking a spanish parent out who shoved my daughter to the ground while waiting for a character autograph, I dont usually get angry except if things happen to my daughter, then I get involved, I growled at the parent "grab your kids and F*** off while you can", he muttered something but after I glared at him they left.

Once again, it shouldn't happen and parents wouldn't get angry if some people learned to be civilized.

Thats absolutely disgusting! Grown people pushing children over. So ignorant! !!

Last time i was at the park there were 2 couples having a massive row and a fight. It was at the entrance between Disney Village and the DL park. Two women started a fight and they were pulling each others hair, then the 2 guys started punching each other, and then one of the women started trying to grab one of the other couples little girl and pulling her hair. It was sickening. Luckily security got there and escorted them out of the park. Its just not something you need to see, especially in a place like Disneyland
"Indian Chief Indian Chief, clap clap, peekaboo peekaboo, bleeeeeeeeehhhhh"- Had that in my head ever since i saw Following the Leader with Peter Pan!

:? It's just amazing that there's grown adults out there who dare to lay a hand on other people's children. You wouldn't expect that sort of behavior anywhere, especially not at a Disney park.

I've seen a few random arguments between families. Usually it's about where they should go next, or what should they eat (in the case of English families). :lol: People should try and leave the domestics at home.

Badly behaved and ignorant queue pushers esp French ones !
Maybe it is because Brits are used to queues all the time in the UK ?
Staff seemed alot more friendlier this year !!

My worst experience was for watching wishes last year.  We'd been standing for over two hours at the cord that closed off the castle bridge to get a good view, but when everyone turned a group of youngsters just pushed and shoved us out of the way.  l just ended up using my elbows as well as the rest cause l wasn't planning on going to the third row back for them.  

And parents shoving you out of the way to make sure their kids can watch properly.  lf someone asks me if their kid can stand/sit in front of me l never say no and l've offered my first row spot to little kids plenty of times (l can watch over them anyway) but just shoving and pulling....no thanks then l'll stand my ground.... Firmly  :wink:

But saying that, the good experiences are far more numerous than the bad ones.  Including guests that is, last time we had a father who was watching the christmas parade with his four year old daughter who was sound asleep throughout the whole thing  :lol:

And we encountered her again in Phantom Manor a bit later and she wasn't one bit scared!! She was so cute  :D

@ lofty - :P Maybe. We English are indeed used to queing, and queing politely. :lol: Maybe the French don't have ques anywhere other than DLRP?

I always seem to encounter at least a few rude French people every time I visit DLRP. I just want to say though that not all French guests are rude, it's just an unpleasant minority. :D *Just saying this incase there's any French people on the Forum*

@ Tink - :o I'd be happy to let kids stand in front of me if the parents just asked. :roll: Words say a lot more than ramming your pram into the back of someone's legs. I hope you still got a good view of Wishes!

:P Great! :lol: I doubt any Brits would allow themselves to be bullied out of their spot by teenagers.

I dunno about anyone else, but aernt people getting sick of all this stupid nationality blaming.  Also as far as this british person likes, it ain't queueing, really believe me, if there is one thing I hate it's queueing :lol: .  Also can tell you after spending a long time yesterday at the Irn Bru carnival in Glasgow, believe me there are many british people who do not know what it is to queue :wink: .

Pat, i agree, but for my part I would never bash any other nationality and I dont think anyone replying to this thread are either. The thread is to express ones least pleasurable experiences in DLRP, and as it stands at the moment, it seems to be queue jumping by whatever nationalty that is the #1 annoyance. I really hope and believe that the majority of the users in this forum are fair minded but just voicing an opinion.

:P Like I said in the post before my previous post, it's only a unpleasant minority. :lol: It's not like a full Nationality of people being rude, no one's ever implied that. As far as problems like rudeness in regards to Parade spots, I've only ever had that problem from French people, but that's not to say they're the only ones that cause such problems. Like Sam said though, the main problem seems to be que jumping.

:o I've never experienced que jumping!

Where in the Park does que jumping tend to occur? Like, what rides?

The only place someone has tried it with me was HISTA.  We let them through...  :lol:  :lol:

You know what my absolute #1 annoyance is?  I only just remembered it - when you're queueing in line but every time you move the person behind you steps *right* up to you, so they're touching you.  So the next time you move, you step a bit further forward, to allow for it, but then they move even closer!  So the next time, you don't move as much, and they practically walk into you.  This happens 99% of the time, am I just not queueing properly? :lol:
