    I have a Bone to pick

    Here's my two cents...... We have taken our three kids since our youngest two were 6 months old. We stopped renting strollers when they were 5. For those of you that say Disney should do something to deter the stroller usage.....I thought they had.....I was motivated to get my kids walking so...

    Character Breakfast

    We've done Chief Mickey's and the Crystal Palace before, and enjoyed them both. Another option might be Tony's Town Square Restaurant at Magic Kingdom......years ago, we had breakfast with Pooh and Friends.....

    Know any of these?

    Not only do I know someone....I am that someone. I have gotten better at breaking the habit, BUT, when I first went to Disney, there were NO other parks....So, perhaps it's not a lack of understanding, but rather just dating your first exposure to the "World". I do agree with your statement...

    I successfully stoped a group of line cutters!!!

    Not much at all....The time doesn't bother me, it's the lack of consideration and respect for others that gets me..... I've also learned in life, you pick your battles......I may be frustrated by the circumstances, but while we're not an "easy" family to get around, I'm not going to escalate...

    Picture Challenge - Rare Things

    We were leaving Frontierland to head back to Tomorrowland earlier this month, and gave 5 valid FastPass tickets to a family for Splash Mountain...The family was very appreciative....but originally....they were skeptical....They questioned why our family was not using them.....I told the mother...

    I successfully stoped a group of line cutters!!!

    You must be....We stopped by Magic Kingdom for 1 day earlier this month, and had it happen/attempted three times! I understand your perspective....I have observed some heated exchanges while at the "happiest place on earth." I didn't (and don't) let it consume me and ruin my day. I think...

    I successfully stoped a group of line cutters!!!

    "My wife and I are in line with my daughter, my daughter suddenly needs a diaper change. My wife leaves with my daughter and comes back." Or....you could do what I witnessed a few weeks back while in line for HM....A mother and grandmother sent one child ahead and proceeded to change a...

    Rudeness!!!!

    We found a way to make a “game” out of a similar experience at Pirates. My family (16 of us) can make quite a wall…….During one visit, a foreign tourist group was trying to weasel past everyone in line. We decided to “play along”! We would form a diagonal barrier as we got to the turns, and...

    A salute to: The American Adventure - what do you love about it?

    I love "Golden Dream". Also, the architectural style reminds me of the Governer's Palace in Willaimsburg, VA.

    I was thinking evolution???? Two dogs at greatly differing stages!!!!! Perhaps we finally have some credible evidence this “scientific” concept might be real…..

    Rockin Roller Coaster ???

    You won't regret the decission. This is possibly the best coaster at Disney. My three sons (12, 12, and 9) and I rode this several times in a row last year before closing....they loved it..... Enjoy your trip.

    Booking a flight with Orbitz

    I usually use Orbitz for a price comparison, and call the hotel/airline and book direct once I’ve found the best deal. However, occasionally, you’ll find a Orbitz.com ONLY deal, and you have to book through them, and we’ve done that in the past as well. Never had a problem with the site, and...

    Worst ride to get stuck on?

    IASW has to be the worst. Several years ago, we got stopped for about 15 minutes, and not only do you have to deal with the music over and over and over, but the worst part was once we restarted, the boats were backed up so much, we went through the final 2 rooms without moving very...

    Checking ages at gate?

    This would similar to suggesting to not pay for the kid meals at a restaurant because you don’t feel like they ate adequately???? Why "waste" the money to pay for a meal that has hardly been eaten? We've taken our kids (13 YO twins and 10 YO) just about every year since they were born (first...

    Checking ages at gate?

    Proving once more what's wrong with our society! Perhaps if they aren't willing to pay for their 4 year old to get in, they shouldn't be going to begin with?!? No...one individual probably isn't a big deal to Disney....but it's the law of compounding....if this family is thinking of doing it...

    Inside WDW new space mountain 11/10/09

    I understand it can get frustrating, but I've never understood why so many people get worked up about the gaps in a line.....as long as the gap is NOT at the loading queue, all that happens when the people begin to move again, is the gap is closed, and everyone is STILL waiting in line! Just...
