My family just returned from a 9 day trip (11-27 to 12-5). This being our 17th trip, we consider ourselves seasoned in travelling to WDW, seeing and hearing almost everything, until now. This is one thing that we have never, ever encountered ... Very rude, swearing, nasty people!! And it wasn't just a few people - it was almost everyone we encountered! We had planned this trip because of two things - 1) To see all of the Christmas decorations and shows - 2) To avoid crowds (this is "supposed" to be a very slow time of year). The parks and hotels were packed, the parents and their children were pushing, shoving, swearing - anything you can think of to get what they wanted. We even had a man jump out of his car and stand in front of our car at the Downtown Disney parking lot because he thought we were going to take his parking spot!! All the while he was swearing at us, yelling at us, making crude hand gestures - the only thing he accomplished was making a spectacle of himself and getting our daughter very upset. He even walked in front of our car, still making that crude hand gesture and swearing, when we were trying to get out of the parking lot - my husband almost hit him. The poor cast members where being very abused almost everywhere we went - shops, rides, shows, restaurants and especially parades. I talked to several CM's and they told me it was because of the hurricanes - many people re-scheduled their vacations during December. If anyone was at WDW last week, did you encounter what we did? It got so bad that my daughter didn't want to go to any of the parks on Friday or Saturday. It really spoiled our Holiday Magic!!
