3. :shock: What's wrong with them comparing?

Well it's just when I hear people constantly moaning that it's not walt disney world and that the resort is never as good.  Dunno it's just one thing that I get sick of the English obsession with wdw and orlando I suppose.  Like I was watching the Christmas Parade and then after my friend's mum came straight back with well that was not christmassy.  The wdw parade is so much better, really things like this just annoy me when I'm in dlrp.

Whats wrong with people comparing ? If its there opinion we should just respect that.

And whats wrong with people having a nice snog ? :?

Yes nice, erm remember it is disneyland, I personally go to enjoy magic not love magic happening :lol: .  A kiss is different, I would rather not have to observe people kissing constantly.  I can understand things like new year midnight, but for like 40 minutes, it starts to get annoying.  Believe me if I could have moved I would have found a different place to watch the parades and fireworks.

Also comparing, I do not mind people comparing I just find it annoying when people moan constantly.  I had to pleasure of on the 30th december 2006 of walking around with a british wdw obsessed family.  Everything we did had something to be said about it as to why it is not as good as wdw.

OMG !    Im so sorry i didnt no you ment 40 minutes, i thought you ment like 2 minute snog !

We went to DLRP for Christmas this year and we had a brilliant time. As part of our "fun" we compiled a list of national traits that we observed (thi is meant in good humour by the way):

1. French: push in regardless of other people waiting but get really annoyed if someone pushes in front of you or, heaven forbid, if the person you push in front off complains.
2. English: complain about the french people always pushing in. If a teenager, dress in really skimpy clothes (even if it's cold).  If you don't speak french, then just shout at the french waiter/ress loudly and slowly and, for advanced rudeness finish your shouting by saying "wossa matter wif you - why don't you speak english?"
3. American: compare with orlando and how cold it is, talk loudly and large groups must walk slowly and strectched out in a line
4. Japenese: you're lovely - no complaints
5. All parents with strollers: use your stroller as an offensive weapon / people plough.  Specialist use for ramming your way into the front of the line of people watching a parade.
6. Spanish: turn up late and then complain about how busy it is.

This is meant in good humour... please take it so  :lol:  :wink:

Lol

And what about the Germans??

@ Pat - :? Ah, I see what you mean. That's not so much comparing, but more like moaning. I've never been to WDW yet, so I wouldn't know... :lol: but I would think that it would be obvious to everyone that there will be some differences at DLRP.

*Finds the snogging thing amusing* Maybe they were going for a world record?

@ Gill - :lol: That's funny. Especially the one about Americans. They do go around in large groups and they do talk loudly. Americans are very pleasant though I've found. Like I said earlier, the only people I've ever had direct problems with are the French. I know it's their country, but that doesn't give them the right to treat non-French speaking people rudely. :roll: And I know how English people can be as well, I've just never seen it at DLRP.

It's strange why the french behave like that in DLRP, Jayna62 and myself have been going to France for about 16 years and never ever had a problem with a french national......until very recently at DLRP, maybe some think "hey, the park is in my country so i'll behave how I want". The spanish are the worst offenders in my book - extremely arrogant and push in far more than the french. I agree completely about the americans, and yes the english seem to think that anyone that doesn't speak english is deaf and that if they speak loudly enough and make enough hand gestures that people will understand (also goes for americans). I've never ever had a problem with dutch, belgians, japanese (who are waaaaaayyyy too polite btw) OR germans .

When we were at DLRP at christmas, we went to the Magical World of Tinkerbell show and were fortunate enough to be seated at the same table as a dutch family, we all got on like a house on fire and had a cracking night except for the disgusting meal they served us, in fact every table within our earshot said how bad the food was - considering that the show and meal cost something in the region of 350€ for 2 adults and 1 child and the meal consisted of quite literally a desert spoon of prawns for the starter, main course was described as "glazed lamb on a bed of mashed potato with wild mushroom sauce" - it turned out to be an upside down cottage pie (shredded lamb on potato), it looked very much like they were a frozen, pre made dish because every one that came out looked identical, third course was "cheese platter" - this was 2 tiny triangles of goats cheese and roquefort, followed by some little square pastry things. Bearing in mind this was meant to be our christmas dinner extravaganza - it has to be our worse experience at DLRP.

That and our daughter getting food poisoning from the Blue Lagoon from the kids fish nugget things, we ended up cleaning her bed off at gone midnight which was swimming with sick, then staying awake all night for toilet duty.

Oops! - just realised, my long winded reply has kinda spanned 2 different topics - sorreeeee!

Dutch people are great. In April 2005, I saw a group of Dutch lads (who all looked in their early 20's) get really excited about seeing Mickey Mouse! :lol: They all ran across Main Street like lunatics to get in the que to see him.

:shock: Shame about that dinner, especially considering how much it cost. Are you going to make a formal complaint about it and try and get a refund?

[Samninetysix]

Already have, not that I expect any kind of preferential treatment but, we've been to DLRP so many times and we calculated that we've spent well in excess of 5000€ with them in 2006 it makes you reluctant to spend "as much" when you're being fed rubbish.

As I pointed out in my email, I cannot hand on heart recommend the Tinkerbell show to anybody, the show itself was great but I can pretty much guarantee that most people in that dining room that night would have rather had a chinese takeaway.

[Masamune]

:? If you're a regular at DLRP, they should definatly comp you somehow. :shock: After telling my mum all this, she says there's no way we'll go to DLRP at Christmas, since that show was what she would've liked to have seen more than anything. It's such a shame.

[fly_with_me_dumbo]

patmagic- i know what you mean when its something you really love/like and someone keeps constantly saying its not as good as something else, it's quite annoying especially when they know you love it so much!

[Lightning McQueen]

Gillburt,any complaints about the Irish ?  /
