I'm sorry if this is inappropriate but foreigners are atrocious in these parks. And that is a understatement.

I disagree.The only reason parks grow as much as they do is because of International guests. seems like a bit of a an American bias.

I believe that he is referring to the behavior of said foreigners is atrocious not that them being there is a bad. I have noticed that some cultures seem to not understand the concept of queuing. Others have complained about the "chanting". The chanting doesn't bother me as it's just kids/teens having fun. But the line cutting is a problem when 25-30 people jump in line in front of me.

Yea I know I was just being silly. We have similar problems down here but they are from Asia instead. Most are good but some of them forget they are no longer there and don't need to be breathing down your neck in a que.

Quick reminder that all/most UK foreigners aren't the problem. It's those that come from South American cultures, particularly the Brazilians. Here, it is an asset for employment if you even know a fragment of Portuguese or Spanish. It also only seems to be these cultures that are particularly annoying, but the European cultures often have a knack of forgetting deodorant. To be fair, the regular US traveler is sometimes not exempt from these (and other) annoyances, but they are a minority.

Well everyone knows the British are undisputed world champions of queueing. It is one of the qualities we are most proud of! :cheers: Must be something about the Spanish language though which prevents people waiting in lines in an orderly fashion; in Florida it's all the South Americans, around Europe (Disneyland Paris... Don't get me started) it's the Spanish themselves. Italians aren't particularly skilled at it either.

The price we pay for high visitor numbers driving investment, the price we pay...

I think it's because in Hispanic and Spanish cultures there is a much more vibrant and festive lifestyle when people congregate. Being a very quiet Hispanic-American means I basically never partake in being so rowdy, so I can observe the whole situation just as any other person here. I think it's a matter of culture, and though it is annoying, it's also a given. I can't really expect a pack of teenagers from another country to behave placidly any more than I can expect a sweaty tourist to wear deodorant and carry some with him. Best solution: go during the quiet times of the year. :lol:

Foreigners aren't the problem, just the Brazilian tour groups

Exactly. The other guy sounds like a total Xenophobe. Foreign Tourists bring their unique cultures with them to the park, and unless they actually do something to harm you, they are free to do what they want.

When I lived in Denver, it was not uncommon for a middle aged/elderly Mexican lady to physically push her way in front of you in the 4 person line at the grocery store. Obviously knowing what she was doing. And then when you say to her "WTF are you doing?", she would look at you innocently and say "No Ingles".

I'll take China and pretty much all of Asia, Europe, and Australia over Central and South America in the parks any day!

When you speak of certain "types" of people I don't think anyone really speaks of EVERY person belonging to that group. But I will agree and say a majority of inconsiderate guests are Hispanic. Doesn't mean all of them are, and doesn't mean their are other rude people. Just a trend that I believe to be true based on my own experience.
