Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation
Is there a trend among misbehaving guests at Walt Disney World Resort? Disney Parks fans on social media recently discussed the behavior of one specific group of theme park visitors.
Millions of guests visit Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios each year. While most bring smiling faces to The Most Magical Place on Earth, a select few disrupt others’ experiences. Some guests have climbed out of ride vehicles, and others have jumped into waterways.

Most disruptive guests interrupt others’ Walt Disney World Resort vacations in less dramatic ways, like pushing through walkways or cutting in ride lines. While rude behavior isn’t limited to any type of person, some Disney Parks fans say that one group of Walt Disney World Resort guests causes more issues.
Discussions about Disney Park guest behavior began when TikToker @leyla.wash posted this video, captioned:
“why have we not talked about European families going to theme parks in America, and how their children are always running around, yelling, pushing, and being rude to everyone they encounter with the parents doing nothing to stop them”
