Yesterday was soooo beautiful! My mom, sister, and I took my kids to
MK and Epcot. We went to
MK first and we were so excited to see the new Cinderellabration show for the first time. We found a place in front of the castle and in back of a few other guests. Then this pregnant woman came up behind us and I heard her son say "mommy I can't see." His mother then said "that's ok everyone will sit down when the show starts." I thought to myself that if I sat down then my kids wouldn't be able to see because of the people that were standing in front of us. Now in the past, everytime I have seen these shows (which has been alot) I have never seen anyone sit down. SO the show started and she very rudely said to me "would you sit down!"
No one in front of me or around me was sitting. Now keep in mind that I was speaking calmly the whole time. So I said "no ma'am I will not. My kids won't be able to see if I do" She yells "my kids can't see--this is a children's show--you need to grow up!!" I just ignored her comment. You won't believe what she did next--she started tapping HARD on the two couples standing next to me, who were holding their young children, yelling at them to sit down! I was shocked! Then she started up with me again saying that I needed to sit down. I told her calmly that I paid money to come to this park just as she did and I can stand up if I wanted to. i also said if she has a problem to go get a cast member. After the show her friend came up to us and said "you know we are from Chicago and we come here once a year and noone stands up." So I said "we live in Tampa and we come 2-3 times a month and I have never seen people sit." Then she said "then WHY are watching the show!" OMG!!! I have NEVER encountered such rudeness while being a WDW park. Now my question is-- is it common for people to stand up or sit down during these shows ( I personally have seen everyone stand) what have you all experienced. I don't like to get rude or get yelled at at the happiest place on earth
Oh--It ended with my sister telling them that there are other show times and maybe she should get here earlier next time to get front row. HA! Despite what happened--we had a GREAT time! The lines at
MK were only 10-20 min wait and Epcot was lovely as usuall!! If you have gotten this far--thanks so much for reading!!!!
