As we have a 2 year old who was in her stroller (pushchair), she would sleep part of the day as they were long and warm. I for one would not appreciate load singing should she be having a snooze but I still think this is a great idea, an icebreaker, something to get people talking and it’s all about being friendly! I found all but 1 member of staff at WDW and Universal to be polite and courteous, this makes it easy to be polite and courteous back. I always look behind before I stop to make sure I am not going to be in the way, pull over to the side should I need to grab anything from my backpack or from under the stroller and say sorry should I get in anybodies way. At the end of shows when everybody wants to be out, we are all going in the same direction, no need to push your way through…slowly slowy catch monkey after all.

Here’s one: if you’re wearing a big backpack, remember to account for it in your personal space needs. I can’t stand it when someone steps into a space in front of me and then their backpack is right in my face. Or someone turns abruptly and whacks me with their pack or diaperbag. (This tip is only for those who haven’t read the many articles on this site that advise traveling light in the parks. 🙂 )

In reply to Ashley. I think soft singing is okay, but loud singing is not appropriate to me. Would you be okay with someone playing a radio out loud in line?

In reply to OrlandoWaterHole. I'm with you OWH. And how about the people who do a about face and walk right into you.

My biggest pet peeve is people who stop at random in the middle of a walkway!

Well maybe not crossing the line.. But I cannot stand when large groups do it. So loud and annoying, to me personally. Especially the big foreign groups, carrying their flags around. Ugh.

I get where you guys are coming from though. 🙂

You really think singing is crossing the line? I think, done respectfully, singing is an expression of joy. I don’t think debi’s intent was to urge obnoxious behavior. I hear your comments, but I stand by the recommendation.

My two cents 🙂

“Try singing while waiting in line and see if the crowd joins in: try carols during the holidays, or the theme song for the ride you’re on.”

NO. Please do NOT do this. If there’s one thing I can’t stand while at the parks, it would definitely be when people are loud and obnoxious, singing in line. I don’t mind you talking and having a good time – but I think singing is crossing the line. Don’t annoy others.
