• (#6) Friends Completely Hijack Their Disney Vacation

  From Redditor u/kwilson25j:

  Back story: wife and I go to Disney every year for an anniversary trip. We were also married there, so it’s fair to assume we’re “those” people. However we don’t focus on our anniversary when we go besides dinner the day of. Just a nice little memory lane thing…

  Anyway, we’re all getting older now and for awhile we’ve always told our friends we’d want to take them and their kids to the parks once their big enough. Low and behold we get approached by our closest friends who basically give the green light they’re ready. So we start planning, looking at places, all that crap. Week goes by and everything’s pretty settled out. We know the details just need to click purchase. Then it’s dropped on us they invited their entire family. And then it’s established they won’t want to go without their extended family. Blindsided us and brought in some anxiety because of planning. Eventually we manned up and said we’re not interested in making this a grand family vacation. We’ve been saying for awhile now we want to share something we love dearly with our friends and their kids, but this is a little much for us. Not to mention the head count makes logistics a nightmare. So we back out of going together and say we’ll do our own thing. Now there’s awkwardness and tension. I was genuinely upset for a couple days. Probably some (wrong) interpretations occurring of how we feel about their family. AITA (AWTA really)?
• (#10) They Had A Controversial Encounter With An Overprotective Dad At Downtown Disney

  From Redditor u/Alone_Percentage8262:

  I was minding by own business exiting the parks after an amazing night at Disneyland via Downtown Disney. Apparently there was a private event in California adventure and so people were coming and going: super busy basically. A group of ten people were approaching with a small child (4/5) in the center. I continued to walk my path and was completely aware of the child at all times. The group was completely oblivious until I stopped two feet in front of the child (my rule of thumb in these scenarios is I will not run into a child but if they run into me, oh well), the father reacted after the fact (I was standing still) by reaching out and placing his hand on my right hip bone, like where my bikini would cover. Needless to say I was shocked and said, please remove your hand. He was all indignant, stating he was protecting his child. I then repeated myself and said, I have stopped moving and you need to remove your hand. He continued to bluster and made reference to me being such a big person ( I’m 5’9” ). I repeated myself a third time and said, ‘sir, I need you to remove your hand now. Needless to say, the child remained free from me and was never within two feet of me. He finally removed his hand, walking away and I continued on my exit, but not before hearing multiple female voices speaking loudly in the realm of, OMG, can you believe how rude that woman was, what a B****. I was ultimately flabbergasted.
• (#7) Parents Let Their Daughter Stay Home And Now She's Mad

  From Redditor u/Fun_Talk3027:

  As parents, we just want to do our best for our kids, especially when it comes to admitting wrongs.

  My wife and I are the lucky parents of two girls, Sarah (17F) and Anna (13F) and a boy, Tyler (8M).

  We managed to save enough money to go to Disney World for a week. Sarah is currently in the teenager phase of acting like a solider being sent out to war whenever she has to go out with the family, and she refused to go to Disney World on the basis of it being a stupid place and not wanting to be away from her friends.

  My wife and I tried everything - talking to her, showing her pictures of all the fun places, we told her it would be fun and that we wanted her to go but Sarah refused and eventually we agreed to let her stay at her Aunt's house. The week passed, we came back. Anna showed Sarah a couple of pictures and now Sarah is incredibly angry at her mother and I, she feels betrayed and angry that we let her miss out on a vacation and valuable family time and is angry we didn't fight harder to make her go.
• (#14) They Stole Merchandise From Their Mother-In-Law Because She Made Fun Of Them For Wanting A Disney Wedding

  From Redditor u/[deleted]:

  My future MIL and I butt heads a lot. She recently found out that I want a Disney princess inspired wedding (when I say inspired I mean like an aesthetic, not like a kids birthday party) MIL finds this cringey and has been making fun of me. She said it's childish and embarrassing. Her son did shut that down and tell her to stop. She also made fun of me for wanting to wear a ballgown and it has been p*ssing me off.

  My fiancé's step grandma is moving to a condo because she no longer wants the responsibility of a house. Since she is downsizing she is getting rid of a lot of stuff. We were at her house recently and she had some limited edition Aladdin container from one of the Disney parks. She asked MIL if she wanted it because she loves Aladdin. MIL said yes and put it down to take later.

  The reason steal is in quotes is because this was a joke and I was going to give it back. I took it and said if Disney princesses are childish, she shouldn't be needing that. MIL said to give it back but I ran outside. She got p*ssed and began full on chasing me. When I gave it back she said I was an idiot and she is allowed to like Disney and think Disney is a cringey theme for a wedding.

  I started getting emotional and said whatever, she is clearly too dumb to get the point I was making. MIL continued to yell about how a Disney wedding is dumb, but Disney itself is cool and she wanted the cup to hold her paintbrushes, but I wouldn't understand because I'm useless and do nothing.

  At that point my fiancé told her to shut up and that was the end of that, but I'm getting super mixed reactions between taking it was hilarious and proved a point, to being called dumb and a thief.
• (#11) Families Get Into Some Line Drama At Disneyland

  From Redditor u/artbyscout:

  It’s funny how much self awareness people lack at parks like Disneyland. I’m(19F) standing in line for guardians right now and there’s this family behind us playing heads up. Which is totally fine except every time we stop they full on run into us because they’re not paying attention. The youngest is probably around 10 but the rest of the family are teens and adults. The last time they ran into me I turned around and NICELY asked if they could back up because they keep running into us. Teen/adult? girl says “it’s a line.” So I say “I don’t care if you’re standing so close to us you bump into us every time you move it’s too close.” The dad starts full on yelling at me “ENOUGH” over and over so I start telling him to stfu. The mom says something about not cussing and I said idgaf don’t yell at me. My dad cuts in and says to the dad to knock it tf off. The sister pitches in “there’s children here” and again I say idgaf don’t be an @ss and you won’t get people angry at you. Finally things calm down and now they’re standing a normal length behind us. I guess we have to be in the same car as them so that’s great lol

  let me reiterate that I was calm and did not start cussing until the dad started yelling at me. And i don’t mean yelling as in raising his voice bc he was upset, I mean yelling as in he got up in my face and was SCREAMING at me. I never screamed back at him just raised my voice enough for our two parties to hear. I got in anyones face, I never cussed any child out, just the dad. If I wasn’t at Disney I would have done worse for even getting that close to me. I wasn’t mad at the kid for bumping me, she only bumped me once and I didn’t mind. I only said something when the dad had ran into me and my dad and my sister at least four times.
• (#5) They Split Up To Find A Table And It Didn't Go As Planned

  From Redditor u/beemo_wisdom:

  My younger sister (29F), Mal, & I (31F) always lived together growing up, while our half-sister (35F), Jean, lived 3 hours away. We were all very close.

  Jean, her husband Joe (38M) & their 4 kids lived near Disney World, while Mal & I live in Louisiana.

  The incident:

  Mal, her boyfriend (36M), Mason, & I went to visit Jean & her family. Mal & I plan everything, book a hotel, take off work, find dog sitters & get tickets to Disney (Jean wants to take us). We took turns driving the 14-hour trip in my car.

  Most of the time there, Joe insists we play board games with him. Jean is only able to play once for a very short time, as she is cooking, cleaning & taking care of their kids. He makes sexist jokes to Mason, who is not sexist & is very kind. Mal, Mason & I are not “allowed” to eat when/what we want, use the restroom when we want, or do lots of strange things. We had to beg to stop at a Starbucks during a tour of the town because Jean had coffee at home (we were paying for our stuff).

  Mason was looking forward to going to a certain store during a sale while we were there, but Joe insisted that a store he knew was better and made Mason go with him, & Mason didn’t get what he was wanting and missed the sale at the other store.

  This was the day we were going to Disney. Mason’s store was close, Joe’s was 45 minutes away. After, Joe wanted us to go to their house to play board games before going to Disney. Finally, at 4, we go to Disney. We had not eaten, so when we get in Joe asks what we want to do first & Mal & I say eat. He names dessert & candy places, and we say, “Literally anything, we are starving, just food.”

  He then starts walking very quickly & everyone rushes to catch up. It's very busy & very small. One line is for ordering food & the other is to pick up. Mal, Mason & I order food together, then Jean, Joe & kids. Our food comes out first, so we walk out to grab a table (letting them know). We find one & start eating, expecting them to join any moment.

  After 15 minutes, they have not joined, so we start calling & texting, but no answer. We pull up Find My Friends & track them down 20 minutes later. We run up and start to say, “Oh good, we found you!” when Joe cuts us off and begins cussing (lots of F-bombs) and yelling at us saying “I have never been so disrespected in my life.” Mason starts to laugh a little thinking it’s a joke, but Joe continues as people are staring at us, “The trip is over! Forget camping, forget Disney, y’all are done go home.”

  Jean is standing behind Joe smirking and the kids are sitting next to her. He finishes screaming and they leave, while Mal cries and Mason stares. After I realize what happened, I chased after Jean and told her that was messed up, but she just pulls her daughter's arm and keeps walking.

   

  So, Reddit, AITA for walking off to find an open table at Disney while my sister, her husband & their kids wait for their food?
