Someone already conceded that a large majority of the center of the row sitters are foreigners. Now, are they rude foreigners, or are they people who don't understand the words coming over the speakers? And yes, again, there are many rude folks who just plop down wherever they want. My only point is that there's no guarantee when you're stomping on people's feet that they are even aware that they're doing anything wrong.

This applies to the shirt thing, smoking, and a few other policies such as seating areas vs. standing areas for shows or parades. Every CM is responsible to ensure that these policies are followed, not just Security.

A large (6ft2in/300 lb) guest became very angry, loud and threatening after I stopped him from walking in front of the moving tram. To be frank, I was concerned for my safety, seriously contemplating what would happen if he hit me (I'm only 100 lbs). I think many CMs aren't willing to risk an ugly encounter with an abrasive and confrontational guest.
Originally Posted By Goofyernmost ^^^Sadly, that is why they continue to do it. Everyone is afraid. I'm sure there is an element of risk no matter what you do but in order to maintain an orderly society rules have to be made and enforced. If a CM can't do it then an equally burly security person is needed. The sooner public places realize that the sooner life will be relaxed again. My job requires me to occasionally confront people with less then "stable" personalities. It is scary but so far 100% of them have backed down. All I will need is a fraction of that to get violent and I will surely change my opinion of how easy it is to be in control. For the time being, however, I boldly go were most men dare not tread. Ignorance is such bliss!

While I would never want to see a CM abused or injured by some idiot guest, I hate the fact that people can get away with literally almost anything at WDW these days. That's why you need security, real security that deals with violent guests quickly or difuses a situation so it doesn't become violent. Those 72-year-old retired cops from Pittsburgh working now at WDW just aren't gonna cut it with a belligerent guest let alone a potential terrorist.

But the only thing that bothers me, is the show sets you up to see a concert, but Donald getst he hat, Mickey gets it back and it ends. Where is the concert? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <a href="http://www.newlineagefilms.com" target="_blank">http://www.newlineagefilms.com</a>

My sister has a funny one... she flashes her drivers license real quick and says "disney undercover security, I'm going to have to ask you to relocate to a smoking area". It usually works and gives us a good chuckle too.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>Some cast members do care.<< Yes, that is true...and yet, since the smoking policy started at WDW, I have only witnessed 2 non security CMs who have actually told offending guests to please smoke in "Smoking areas". That's not a good track record...

" You should stop by whatever attraction I might get stuck as Pavilion Greeter for, it happens 10 to 15 times a day. I also make sure all my Trainees do it as well, if i ever see them not stop i smoker i remind them, that it is just as much a part of their role to do so.
Originally Posted By basas Well...on my recent trips, I haven't found the smoking too out of control at WDW...but IOA...wow. Members of my party even commented on how "wow, I didn't realize you could smoke wherever you wanted here!". Um...no!
