Walt Disney World and Disneyland employees, also known as cast members, are trained in the art of creating a positive experience for guests.

But some visitors to the famed parks don't make things easy for the people who work there.

Business Insider spoke with 10 former Disney World cast members and one former Disneyland cast member to get an idea of the most annoying guest behaviors.

From overly aggressive pin-hunting to blaming cast members for bad weather, these are the things sure to annoy or concern Disney World and Disneyland cast members.



Walt Disney World and Disneyland cast members interact with a ton of guests every year. As many as 20.4 million people visited the Florida park in 2016. And 17.94 people stopped by Disneyland that same year.

But for employees, also known as cast members, not every interaction with a guest is going to be positive and seamless.

John Quagliano, a former Walt Disney World cast member, told Business Insider that most guests were perfectly nice to cast members.

"But at the same time, a lot of people can be really testy," he said.

Quagliano, who worked in the Magic Kingdom, added that he understood why some Disney visitors might be on edge at the park.

"People have just spent this much money to have this wonderful vacation and come to Florida, and then all of a sudden they get to the park and they realize 'Whoa, my family and I maybe have to stand in line for 20 minutes,' or 'It's raining, and now the ride's closed down,'" Quagliano said. "A water's $3, so they get thirsty and they say, 'I just spent four grand on a hotel — how is the water $3?'"

But former cast members say there are some things visitors can avoid doing to avoid antagonizing them.

Business Insider recently spoke to eight people who participated in the Disney College Program at Disney World, two former Walt Disney World cast members, and one former Disneyland cast member.

Here are the annoying guest behaviors they said they wished would stop.
