Is it just us, or do tens of thousands of total strangers decide to show up in Disney World the same exact week as us? Seriously, what are the odds of that happening?

While we wish we could have the parks completely to ourselves, dealing with those crowds is almost synonymous with the Disney World experience. And while most of the time other groups can pass by unnoticed, there are several instances where we all can’t help but feel a little irked by our neighbors.

We reached out on Facebook recently and asked our followers to share things that people do in Disney Wold that annoy them, and we received over 2,000 replies! Let’s review some of the most common responses we noticed.

Blocking Someone’s View

Perhaps the most common response had to do with others blocking someone’s view, whether that was during the fireworks or parade. Entertainment is one of the big draws in the theme parks, and everyone wants to get the best view possible — including that stranger who just showed up at the last minute! And with shows like the fireworks happening only once per evening, the stakes are high to find that picture-perfect spot. 

Remember that everyone around you wants to get a good view of the show, so be aware of your surroundings when staking out a spot to watch the parade or fireworks! Also remember that while Main Street in Magic Kingdom is definitely one of the best places to watch the fireworks, it’s not the only place to watch the fireworks. You can catch some pretty good sights from most locations around the park!

The Disney Stop

Another common response was what Elizabeth A. referred to as “the Disney stop.” In other words, stopping in the middle of a walkway, seemingly without any warning.

This is another opportunity to remember that LOTS of people are visiting the parks at the same time as you — and there are plenty of times where you’ll be sharing a smaller amount of space, such as a walkway. If you need to pause for any reason, remember to move off to the side or to a less crowded area. You can read up on some of Disney World’s “secret” walkways that may be less crowded if you want to avoid the main thoroughfare.

Meltdowns

A third common response we noticed had to do with witnessing families experiencing tantrums or meltdowns in the park, which can sometimes be a result of a parent expecting too much out of their little one in one day. A trip to Disney World costs more than a pretty penny, and the urge to get as much done as possible in one day is understandable. Just remember that kids are taking a lot of excitement in at once, and it can feel overwhelming pretty fast!

Whether your kid doesn’t want to go on a particular ride or they’re just tired, be sure to schedule in time to relax and to take a breather in the middle of the day. Whether it’s slowing down while you’re in the park or even heading back to your hotel room in the middle of the afternoon, you could avoid some massive meltdowns later in the day.

A lot of these examples seem to boil down to one common theme: that there are a lot of families visiting Disney World at the same time, and everyone wants to have the most magical vacation possible. We’re all super excited to get on those rides, see those characters, and watch those parades as much as the next person, but so is your fellow neighbor! Kindness goes a long way no matter where you are, but it’s especially true in Disney World!

We hope this helped to shed some light on not only certain behaviors to keep in mind while visiting the parks, but also a few tips that can help you avoid these situations altogether on your next Disney World vacation! Packing your patience, scheduling downtime, and remembering to be kind to your fellow neighbor is the true recipe to having a successful trip.
