Get ready to CRINGE.
Over the years, we’ve seen our fair share of cringeworthy things in Disney World. From guests being rude to Cast Members to overhearing awkward family arguments. But there’s no place where we cringe quite as much as at our Disney World hotel. And today, we’re sharing the SUPER CRINGE things people keep doing at the hotels!
Talking Loudly Outside the Rooms
This one just comes down to being considerate of other people! We can’t tell you how many times we’ve woken up to guests talking loudly out in the hallway, whether that’s in the early morning or in the middle of the night. If you’re out and about during sleeping hours, please be respectful of your noise level.
And this can be even more common at the resorts with exterior hotel room entry. People don’t think to use their “inside voices” when they’re outside, but let us tell you — your voice CARRIES. Now we and everyone in our building know all your family’s tea, SUSAN.
Not Following Hot Tub Etiquette
Next up, let’s talk about a conversation that got our whole team in a tizzy — hot tub etiquette. Or rather, Disney World visitors’ lack thereof.
If you’re planning on using a hot tub at your hotel, there are some rules you should just generally follow. First of all, please don’t leave your children unattended in the hot tub so that they can splash around and dunk each other. Usually, adults go to the hot tub to relax … and in such a small space, it really disturbs the peace.
In general, it’s nice to give people as much peace, quiet, and space as possible in the hot tub. This is a place to unwind after those long, hard park days!
Dripping All Over the Premises
And speaking of pool-related etiquette, we’ve got to talk about the dripping! If you go to the pool or the hot tub, PLEASE be courteous of other guests (and the custodial Cast Members) and dry off before you leave the area.
Nobody wants to encounter rogue puddles in the hotel hallways or slip on water in the lobby. For every drop you drip, a poor Cast Member has to come behind you with a mop or a towel.
Barefoot Traipsing
Another thing that continues to catch us off guard in Disney World hotels is when guests walk around the resort barefoot! Now, we’re not talking about the simple walk to the pool — we’re talking about those who traipse down the hallways and into the lobbies and restaurants with nary a shoe in sight.
Guys, in a place like Disney World, it’s primarily important to wear shoes for your own personal health! You never know what you might step on or encounter here. But on top of that, barefootedness is a comfort reserved for your own home — other guests don’t want to look at your bare feet, especially at a place where they paid hundreds or thousands of dollars to stay overnight.
Being Inconsiderate to Cast Members
One of our biggest Disney World pet peeves is when we see guests being rude to Cast Members, and unfortunately, we see it pretty frequently at the hotels. Whether it’s guests demanding a better view/different room, complaining about amenities, or getting upset when the room isn’t ready as early as possible…the CMs at resorts have to deal with quite a few complaints.
So please, if you’re heading to a hotel anytime soon, be very kind to the Cast Members working there. Whatever your request is, they’re much more likely to go the extra mile and help you out if you’re being pleasant. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar!
Leaving Trash Around
Last but not least…pick up after yourselves! We’re constantly seeing guests leaving trash around the resorts, either out by the pool or inside the hotel food court. You’ll make the Cast Members’ jobs a lot easier if you just dispose of things yourself!
Basically, don’t treat Disney World hotels like you own the place, because you don’t! Even though you’re paying a few hundred bucks to stay the night, you’re still a guest. Be on your best behavior and you’ll do just fine!
