It could be said that American crowds are spoiled too. Bon Jovi might roll up in a European city every two to three years but in The US you get the opportunity to see them far more often and with less travelling usually.

Have you ever been here ??
That is the most offensive and disrespectful comment that I've ever read on this board.
I live in Brazil and I've been several times to Europe and America, and when I see something there that "is not normal to me anyway", I don't think that people there are raised in zoos, but I think of it as a different culture.

You should know that a lot of what's happening in the world today ( 9/11 , wars, conflicts , killings ...) has to do with people not knowing how to respect other cultures and religions.

And judging people from a visit to Disney World is the most ignorant comment I've ever read here.

This was not worded in the best manner but as someone who worked for Walt Disney World, generally speaking, dealing with South Americans was not fun. There' a reason why long-time employees at Disney World "Save up" their vacation time and use it during popular times South Americans like to visit and some of these people are those who grew up in South America. Some of the rudest guests I've ever met.

To the rest of the world on this board, you can't have it both ways. If you wanna shit on Americans that's fine. That's your opinion but I am entitled to mine and this comment was not false. Sorry South Americans.

Nope. But If I ever went there, you can damn well bet I would be respectful of your rules and customs.

I go to Disney World twice a year. I dare say, there are people there from every continent on Earth, which makes it an amazing experience in many aspects. But sorry, it is WELL documented that people from Brazil are rude, disrespectful, disruptive and obnoxious. Go to any message board about WDW and you'll see the discussion. Is it a stereotype? Yup, but it happens so often, it's warranted. It's specifically tour groups from Brazil.

1.They cut in line.
2.They walk through the parks chanting, clapping and singing. If this is considered "having a good time" in Brazil, keep it there. In America, where people are trying to enjoy their vacation, it's considered acting like an asshole.
3.They run through the hotels they stay at at all hours of the night.
4.They converge on rides and push people out of the way or to the ground.

I could go on. Just ask anyone who's been to Disney World in July and seen the groups with the yellow shirts on running amok in the parks.

LOL - If you worked there, then you know what I'm talking about. I'm guessing many CM's took their vacations in July?

I'm sorry if it was worded incorrectly. I've simply had so many awful experiences with these people, I can't even begin to tell you.
