I mean… it’s Disney world. Children will grab things, ECV’s will run into things…Remember when parents used to be embarrassed by that sort of stuff?

So you think they're doing a worse job of anchoring things these days than they used to?I mean… it’s Disney world. Children will grab things, ECV’s will run into things…
I’m not sure… I don’t know what was actually there and how it was designed.So you think they're doing a worse job of anchoring things these days than they used to?
Getting sloppy about allowing things more in reach?
I get your point, things like that happen, specially at a theme park.I mean… it’s Disney world. Children will grab things, ECV’s will run into things…
Yeah, I guess it could be a nervous laugh, in some cases.People use laughing when they're shocked. It's like a way of showing they are not bothered or affected. I find it weird
I was trying to figure out why it bothered me, and you nailed it!This is giving off strong food-court-in-a-dying-mall vibes.
come on, children will grab things anywhere. It’s up to the parents to stop them.I mean… it’s Disney world. Children will grab things, ECV’s will run into things…
I’m actually literally shocked by some of the posts in this thread excusing anti-social (rude) behavior. No one should be laughing at it.People use laughing when they're shocked. It's like a way of showing they are not bothered or affected. I find it weird

It continues to blow my mind. It’s obviously so bad, they can’t possibly be happy with this.What a waste of space.
Thank you. As a graduate of a state school, I have fondness for the pop up merchandise areas that are set up to capitalize on parent’s weekend.EPCOT's CommuniCore Hall Debuts as Festival Center for 2024 Food and Wine Festival

It's also annoying for non figment fans. They did the same with Epcot Forever merch which was my favorite nighttime show along Illumination's ROE but I didn't even buy anything simply because it was just a logo on purple figment!It's really sad they pimp Figment out on all of their festival merchandise but refuse to give him proper representation with a top notch attraction.
Within reason though. There’s lots of things designed to be handled by people at Disney world - the interactive elements at mansion, Snow White, Winnie the Pooh, etc.come on, children will grab things anywhere. It’s up to the parents to stop them.
The worst damage I’ve seen an ECV do was in the standby line for Rise. It’s dim lighting, lots of people, and pretty narrow to navigate. They turned a corner too sharp and took out some of the decorative elements. It’s pretty understandable- they weren’t being reckless.And ECVs are supposedly operated by adults, who should be able to avoid things.
It pulls on our nostalgic heart strings, and apparently they think that is enough...It's really sad they pimp Figment out on all of their festival merchandise but refuse to give him proper representation with a top notch attraction.
Handled does not equal broken, and interactive queues are not the same thing as "lemme break off this glued-down show item" (e.g., the disgusting honey wall in WTP, or the nearly impossible to displace jewels in SWMT--everything in both those queues has been childproofed!).Within reason though. There’s lots of things designed to be handled by people at Disney world - the interactive elements at mansion, Snow White, Winnie the Pooh, etc.
I’ve certainly seen parents ignore kids to an unreasonable amount, but Disney should expect kids are gonna touch things within reach.
I'll give you this one. If WDW is insisting that ECVs go through a standby queue, they should make dang sure that an ECV can navigate said queue.The worst damage I’ve seen an ECV do was in the standby line for Rise.

I think we probably agree - in general I’m annoyed by parents not watching kids but I do think there is an expectation that things be a little more kid proof at Disney.I still think that parents should keep an eye on their children in a queue and make sure they don't break stuff. We can agree to disagree on this.
