What travel guides don't tell you about Disney

1. People cut in line

This is the number one thing that annoys me about Disney (or any theme park really). Yesterday I was half way through the line and all of a sudden 4 kids and a grandpa cut right in front of me. That's 5 people that got to skip in line, how?! Its not fair. I wish people would say "You can't cut the line. I don't care if your family was waiting up in the front of the line" Some people do, but for the most part it's expected. You know at some point of you waiting 45 minutes someone is going to waltz up and jump ahead of you. Not only is this annoying because they're skipping the line, but they are also making the line longer for you.

2. People don't wear deodorant

I know this one may sound mean, but people smell. This is a given. We are humans, we sweat, and product body odor. However this is this wonder magical gift to society called deodorant. Does everyone wear deodorant? No. A majority of the people at disney smell bad. Yes it's hot out and were all sweating but if people would just put on some deodorant or pack it in their backpack we wouldn't have this problem. You are crammed together like sardines with all these strangers in lines, on the bus, on rides, in restaurants. We are all in very close proximity to strangers pretty much the whole day. It would be nice if 80% of them didn't smell like a sweaty sock.

 3. You get stepped on

Everyone is in a rush. Either trying to make their fast passes, trying to get to the reservations at a restaurant, or just running because they're annoying human beings who don't have any perception of the other people around them. You get bumped in the shins by strollers. You get smacked with someones backpack that is stuffed to the brim. You get stepped on, shoved, and do that awkward "which direction are you going?' thing. You know what I'm talking about when you are heading directly towards someone and you do that weird dance to get out of the way. Almost every single person that does these things also does not say "sorry" or "excuse me" they just bump, shove, and step on you and keep moving along. 

4. Everything is overpriced

Disney passes are ridiculously expensive. I feel like everyone knows that its not cheap to go to disney. But also everything in the park is going to hurt your wallet. From the $5 tiny ice cream bar to the $12 beer, yes just one beer. Don't even get me started on the meals! You are going to want to take out a small loan to afford to eat dinner in the park. You can't get lunch cheaper than $20 anywhere, and that $20 lunch for one person would be a kids meal. Not to mention the stupid souvenirs! The items you buy and only use during that time spent at disney. The second you get home it will just collect dust in your closet, Because really when else are you going to wear a huge mad hatter hat? I found minnie ears during halloween at partycity for $6, do you know how much they are at the park? $21 (not including tax).

 This pimms cup that was basically 90% sprite cost me $10

5. There are screaming kids everywhere

Yes I can understand the kids have been up since 6 am and are hot and tired by 3 because they don't get a nap. But its also not the most pleasant thing having kids throw tantrums every 10 yards. Behind you in line. On the bus. Waiting to get starbucks (because the parents are tired too). They are everywhere. Just screaming. Throwing fits, You're at disney shouldn't you be having fun? No instead they're hot and grumpy. My mom always jokes and says "the happiest place on earth" whenever we see a kid yelling bloody murder at disney. This is why I love epcot. Its more of an adult park. The child screams are a lot less frequent there. They still happen but not like they do at the magic kingdom. Its like the magic kingdom is torture for these children. 

6. Stroller land

My mom also jokes that disney land is not disney land, its stroller land. These things are everywhere and they get in the way. They are just so wide and big they take up all the walking space. You have to maneuver around them because they really are everywhere. And people leave strollers outside of rides with ALL their belongings in them. WHAT? Don't you know people steal? I could easily go into your backpack that was left in your stroller and take what I wanted. I wouldn't because I'm not scum. But it's possible. I don't understand it. No one is watching it. The employees sure aren't making sure people aren't raiding strollers belongings. So in the magic kingdom (the park with the most strollers) be warned that its about 60% people, 96% strollers.
