I hate know it alls......

[supersuperwendy]

I can't stand Disney know it alls who actually know NOTHING!!!!

I was just at a cook out at my best friends house. She has neighbors who always invite themselves over. So 20 minutes ago we start talking about WDW and how my BFF is joining us next summer and plans to stay at POR. Next thing you know - the know it alls start.

Here's their FACTS they were 100% sure they were right about....
(they know these to be facts because they just got back from Orlando)

That to add no expiration option to a 5 day pass is $10.

To add the dining plan even when staying offsite is $21 and you can eat anywhere on property.

That POR is NO DIFFERENT than the All Star Resorts.

Here's their opinion....

to stay onsite is nuts.... universal is better anyway.

And that I'm ANAL about disney. (not sure if I can use that word) lol


I got so mad I left and now I'm home lol

Oh jeez! Did you bite and fight back?

 

[jennyjinx3]

UGH!! I feel your frustration! I just give up with people like that. No point. I always tell my DD's that if you know you are right you don't have to argue with anyone about it. Those Disney "know it alls" are everywhere trust me!!

 

[SamSam]

Just smile and let it roll off. Later give the correct information to your friends.

 

[KellyNY]

Next time just tell them, "one less person infront of me", that is all.
If people are so extremly wrong and stubborn, no need to argue and getting upset. Chin up and go get yourself a nice drink!

If they ask a question, answer it. Otherwise, just leave it alone. Everyone will be happier.

[canopynut66]

that all is wrong where in the heck did they get all that from? some people just have to totally ignore . there is gal in my office she flys from Indy to Orland for $99 round trip????? BUT she never can tell anyone how..... several years ago was $50 but they raised the price on her...LOL even guest pass if you know someone who works for airtan is higher than that. so we just let her rattle.. then is the gal in the hair salon I go to and she KNOWS it all she be a great one for your neighbors friend...she has to UP whatever someone says. she got married a yeara go and low and behold he WORSE than her..If I ask her a question and she obviously knows nothing about she will just walk back to her station...THAT gives me the answer.

These things are just opinions, though. Can't really get all mad and defensive about that!

 

[Senator Tressel]

You could have looked those things up online right then and proven them wrong.

 

[supersuperwendy]

true about opinions.... but everything else was dead wrong!!!

There other opinion.. we were fools to fly on any airline except spirit haha

 

[nannyker]

hahaha I have a girlfriend who has a very cheap husband! So when they went to Disney they only went to Magic Kingdom and Downtown Disney and then they didn't even let their kids get one souvenier! they have the money too! SO when our other friend (who goes every other year) and I start talking about my trip planning for September she always chimes in with her opinion. She says it's all so commercial and a waste of money and we shouldn't do all the parks. She is always giving her opinions about the parks she didn't even go to and they are always negative. I finally just ignored it. Our friendship is more important. I have found because of the way her husband is so tough and cheap her way of dealing with him is just being negative about things. SO sometimes you have to just let it roll off your back.

I did! That's when they said I was anal!!!

 

[Senator Tressel]

The only anal in this conversation is what you're talking out of.


.....would have been a funny comeback.

 

[Missytara]

I am right there with you. I am saddened,even on the disboards, someone gets and and says "I am not sure, but I think you can........and proceed to give a wrong answer.

Then we correct it, with an explanation (not directly at the PP) but to make sure the right info is out there in full.

Then I am condescending. Ugh. Forgive me, I love Disney.

HI Wendy!
Some people just make up things to bolster their opinions. Some people also believe everything that comes out of their own mouths no matter what. There's no arguing w/ those types and no reason to. They're just missing out. I'd be eye-rolling too.

Hey!!! long time no talk!!!

I stopped arguing and left ...lol I didn't even say goodbye... I grabbed my purse and left through the front door

 

[budafam]

lol... I hear ya!!! We have relatives who have gone to Disney more times than we have. They have NEVER made an ADR. I suggested it to them and they said they can't afford to do the "fancy food"... lol, like buffets are fancy but they stay at a moderate resort and do nothing but complain about costs

 

[Hannathy]

Universal used to have a dining option for in the parks that was $20 something, could they have been confusing that with Disney?

 

[Olivejuicy]

I can't imagine getting so mad about something like this (not just Disney, but any time someone was saying wrong information that is not immediately relevant) that I would leave aa party over it. I would just change the subject or talk to someone else and agree to disagree.
