And yet all those CM's remained polite with her, or else she would have used that in her videos too. Gawd. What a disaster.

I've seen groups of people running through the crowd, climbing on the rocks near soaring, taking pictures on dark attractions, talking loudly during the attraction, flash pics and talking during shows... I have the impression the cast not supposed to get involved... Sadly behavior gets worse when more do it because others got away with it. A woman I work with and used to like told me how they send one person to get in line and then the rest of the family, 7 (three adults and four kids) join that person when they are near the front of the line...

I can see and would of stepped by if it involved little kids. With young kids with issues and having to go to the bathroom while in line. I understand. The kids also learn they miss what the other kids that wait get to see or do. Adults should know better and teach their kids. Maybe they didn't get the memo.

Dunno anything about the DDP at DLR, but if it's anything like the DDP at WDW . . . On at least two of my trips to WDW, I was offered the DDP as part of the package, and in every case, I did my research, and very quickly determined that there was no version of it that would do better than break even for me, and most would be a major waste of money: 1. Table-service credits typically include appetizer and dessert; I'm a hard-sell on both, even when they're free. When I walk into a restaurant, I typically want to order my entree, enjoy it, pay for it, leave a reasonably generous tip, and walk out. 2. I generally go "light and cheap" for breakfast. It may be the most important meal of the day, but that doesn't mean it should be the biggest, and if I get too much heavy food, too early, it tends to leave me dyspeptic and/or lethargic. Plus, since I don't eat salads, breakfast is my major source of fiber. So I typically, when on vacation, have a bowl of either oatmeal or Cheerios, with a couple of slices of whole wheat toast. Free, if the hotel has a good continental breakfast room, cheap in a neighborhood restaurant or the food court of a WDW "value" hotel, but either expensive or unavailable in theme park or hotel restaurants. 3. I can easily see myself running out of table service credits on all but the deluxe DDPs, yet finishing with one or two counter-service credits, and maybe all of my snack credits, unused and going to waste. Then, too, I don't exactly hold with the whole business of restricting kids to the "kids' menu," when the "kids' menu" frequently amounts to fast food. I don't have any kids (or a wife, or even a girlfriend), but even at age 50, I distinctly remember my eating habits as a kid, and fast food was NOT my comfort food. If, for example, a restaurant lists prime rib among its specialties, the "kids' menu" ought to include a child's portion of prime rib, rather than being limited to hamburgers, chicken fingers, and pizza, and as a kid, I would have been very disappointed with the latter. (I still remember my first experience with a "kids' menu": the old Van de Kamps restaurant near Knott's Berry Farm. For many years, when I was a kid, my parents and I would spend a day at Knotts, then stop for dinner at Van de Kamps, where I'd typically have a child-sized hot roast beef sandwich. It had a cute name on the "kids' menu," but it was just a child-sized portion of the adult hot beef sandwich.

I will if I think they are wrong. People they don't call it DisneyLine for no reason.
