How to be obnoxious at Disney World

Don't walk in a straight line - if you weave about it will increase the amount of walking you do. If you feel like stopping JUST DO IT. Don't bother checking behind you as the surprise will just add to the Disney magic If you see a space to watch a show just shove your way through and don't...
