But I wanted to share this photo:
It's Woody from Toy Story, doing a meet-and-greet just outside the Big Thunder Ranch. But what caught my eye (and nose) was what was on the other side of the path, just a few feet away:
Frontierland's smoking area.
Uh, might it be a good idea not to place characters who will attract a queue of children within a couple steps of one of the park's three remaining designated smoking areas? Just a thought.

I don't think that they should put Meet N' Greets next to smoking areas, but to completely eliminate smoking from the park? It's bad enough you can't get a drink in the Magic Kingdom. Denying a smoker their cigarette would cost Disney business and respect. Imagine how much crankier people would be in the hot afternoon sun if they couldn't take a smoke break ...
"Which gets a theme park visitor crankier?"
- Not having a smoke break
- Two-year-olds pitching a fit 'cause they haven't napped yet
- Prices
- Lines
- Piped-in area music
Other candidates?
My additions:
- Closed attractions
- Attractions breaking down while in line
- Attractions breaking down while on the attraction
- Bad weather (too hot/rainy/etc.)
- Incident with employee / bad employees
- Incident with fellow guest(s) (e.g. line-jumping)
- Crowds
- Forgetting something outside of the park (e.g. tickets)
I know one that soured us once for almost two days - we were dining at Fulton's Crab House, and although we had a great meal, we got stuck with an expensive bottle of wine. The wine connoisseur came around with his list and his recommendations for our individual meals, and we took a bottle that he recommended. The list had no prices, and it turns out that the bottle was $120, something that just wasn't in our budget. Many fine dining establishments do not print prices, but when catering to WDW guests I think that, unless you're dining at Victoria & Albert's, there should be prices on everything.
In short:The barging baby stroller parties.(sore calves/chins)
Also:
-Bad and overpriced food
-Rides running at less than capacity with capacity crowds
