It’s incredible that Disney attracts millions of people from all over the world through its gates every year. From first-time visitors, to weekly annual passholders (me), to people who just try to make it as many times as they can, there’s no doubt that you will see some interesting characters while you’re at the parks (and no, I’m not talking about interesting cast members…I’m talking about everyone else!). Here are just a few of the types of people I see on my trips to Disney:
1. The Matching T-Shirts
It’s cute on children. Not on entire families.
2. The First-Time Crazies
You know, the ones who you can just tell are here for the first time ever. I’m just saying, you’re going to regret getting all dolled up for the theme parks. You will sweat, and your feet will hurt.
3. The “Here for The Pins” People
You can spot them from a mile away with their bulging backpacks and heavy-looking lanyards that are just completely overflowing with hundreds of little metal pins.
4. The Disney-Obsessed
The ones who go to the parks in costumes that you know they spent hours (or even days) on to make sure you can tell which character they look like without having to ask.
5. The Crazy Parade-Goers
Why on Earth are you sitting down on Main Street at noon when the parade doesn’t start until 3 p.m???? Please tell me why. Please.
6. The Over-Packers
Please stop backing into me in line. Your backpack is huge, and there’s nowhere else for me to stand. Also, what the heck did you decide to bring to Disney? There’s no way you need all of that.
7. The Scooter Gangs and The Stroller Gangs
This isn’t the Daytona 500. Plus, I’m pretty sure there’s a Disney speed limit. Also, get out of my way, because my fast pass is about to end. Thank you.
8. The Completely Oblivious Parents
Please get off of your phone, your child is climbing rides and I’m not going to tell them to stop.
9. The Instagrammers
Guilty.
10. The Crying Babies
What is there to cry about tiny humans? You’re literally in the happiest place on Earth. Besides, I should be the one who’s crying while I escape my adult responsibilities in line for The Little Mermaid.
