What Type
of Disney Tourist Are You?
In my opinion there are six different
types of Disney tourist. There is the Ride Runner, Showstopper, Character
Greeter, Shop Hopper, Pin Trader and the People Watcher.
The Ride Runner runs from ride to
ride and is not happy when stopped for any other reason. They skip parades,
shows, shops and dislike the fact they have to stop for something to eat. They
often count the number of rides they got on and if they do not reach a set
number they feel cheated. They want to ride every ride they can.
The Showstopper will look online
days before going to the park for the show schedules during their trip. They
will grab an entertainment schedule walking in the park gates to double check
their information. They plan their rides and meals around show schedules. They
want to see every show available. Often they will park themselves and wait for
hours sitting on a bench or the ground for a show to get just the spot they
want.
The Character Greeter. Character Greeters
will keep an eagle eye out for characters around the park. They will often look
online to see where their favorite characters can be found in the parks before
they go. You can tell the Character Greeter by the autographed books and Pen’s
they proudly carry as a walk around the Park. They filled the character meet
and greet areas and character meals.
The Shop Hopper. The Shop Hopper
will stop to shop spending the day looking at the various Disney curios
available. They have their favorite shops and will not leave the Park without a
stop in their favorite store. They are the best people to ask when you are
looking for a certain type of Disney curio. They will often know which stored
in which area to find what you’re looking for.
The Pin Trader. The Pin Trader is an
eagle eyed Park tourist. They can spot a fellow guests or cast member with a pin
trading lanyard at 100 yards maybe 200! They will know all spots to buy and
trade pins. They see a cast member with a lanyard in the shop, down the street or
at a ride they will pause to take a look and possibly trade a pin or two.
The People Watcher. That People
Watcher is just that, a people watcher! They love to just pick a spot and watch
people go by. These are usually friendly folk that will start up a conversation
if you pause near them. I love people watching so I’m a people watcher. I guess
I picked this up from my grandma.
In truth I’m a unique blend of all.
Each the sixth tour style depends on the day and who I’m with. I must say I
actually am a combination of the Showstopper and People Watcher. I love the
rides but will often skip the rides to wait for a good spot to see a show.
While I’m waiting for the show I will often pass the time people watching and
making new friends.
So what type of Disney Tourist are
you?
