What do you do?
It seems that Disney parks are getting more and more crowded. I use a scooter to get around, I have not been able to "walk the parks" since 2003.
It seems that no matter where I go or how careful I am, it has become more difficult. But I take my responsibility to be safe very seriously.
But, sometimes even (especially) when I am stopped people will just run into me, I have no where to go, they are usually distracted, not paying attention or recently texting while walking is picking up.
When I try to alert them before they run into me... They get upset and huffy and yell some foul words at me. Sometimes I just let them go (hoping beyond hope) that they will see me and stop. If they do see me they yell for me to get out of the way, there is no place for me to go, that is why I am stopped. if they don't see me, well you know...
Sometimes when I am making my way through a crowd some will just dart in front of me frequently causing me to panic stop, endangering those behind me.
Recently at EPCOT I was stopped, waiting for people to move, so I could move and a person about 3 or 4 feet away with their back to me was taking to someone else, suddenly they turned and before I could say anything they ran into me. I exclaimed that they needed to watch where they were going. Instead of an apology they said I need to watch where I am going, and watch out for them, after all "I was the one on wheels" it didn't matter that I told them that I was stopped and they ran into me, they just said, "so what!"
What strategies do you use to avoid the situations, and after they do occur, what do you do with this internal build up, this accumulation of these events, how do you just "let it go". It is getting harder for me, I am almost considering just not going anywhere, Anymore. But I really do enjoy Disney parks
