Massive school groups of 15-year olds from Brazil with no parents there to supervise them... pretty much any time you have that many teens in one place it just gets to be nuts, like Pop Warner.
Sounds horrible. LOL. And when does this happen? Early August? What resorts do they typically stay in?
Yes, they were starting to arrive early Dec just as we were leaving. Good timing! Lol.One large group is there all of January, February and first week of March AND several weeks in July.
One large group is there potentially early December but usually January and in to February AND all of July.
There are smaller groups that may have some varying dates.
They stay at the Value Resorts (not AoA but will use food court) and some at POR & CBR.
Then the cheer and dance teams arrive!From what I've heard its typically the All-Stars. I visit mid-late August and there might be some residual but usually by mid-August there gone (from my experience).
Makes me wonder if Disney gave a warning to the tour groups that organized these trips.I will mention, while I was not around them on buses or in their Resorts, only the parks, they are totally changed in the park behaviors.
We just got back and saw more groups of them than I've ever seen at once and never once were they chanting or acting in any way that would be consider rude or annoying. These were all unsupervised or very loosely supervised too. I saw their chaperones and they were barely older than the 15s. The only time we noticed their presence, and we actually found it entertaining, on Soarin'. One group filled an entire section. They squealed/cheered (not a chant but just excited cheer) with each swoop or scene change. DH commented that he'd never ridden with a group that enjoyed the ride as much as they did and it made it rather fun to enjoy it with them. They weren't overly loud or anything.
Maybe their resort behavior is equally as improved?
I sure hope so, this changed behavior sounds too good.. hopefully it lasts.Makes me wonder if Disney gave a warning to the tour groups that organized these trips.
I honestly believe they have given them some direction of some sort. Simply because we saw more than I've ever seen and every single one were on their best behavior. We saw at least 4 groups per park, per day (identified by their different shirt groupings) where on my past trips I've never seen more than 1 per park. Odds alone tell you that the volume alone would have indicated that at least one of the groups would have been acting like teens but not this time.Makes me wonder if Disney gave a warning to the tour groups that organized these trips.

Well,I spoke too soon!lol
We were just sitting at Grandstand Spirits when I heard an all too familiar sound of MAJOR LEAGUE CHANTING!lol
It is a new TG that just arrived and they went Old School Chanting from Home Run Hotel all the way through Touchdown! and ON INTO End Zone.
Heads were turning!lol
A few of these 15s were throwing in a little dancing for old time's sake!lol
This new group is so OLD SCHOOL-they are FIRED UP!lol
Most of our 15s are at F!-I am thinking this new TG may get the whole All-Star Sports 15s contingent going Old School Chantingwhen everybody gets back home!lol
