Hahaha well the kids dont know any better. Id rather pound the parents. I mean most of the time when kids are being idiots its the parets fault. Plus whats better than beating up someones dad infront of them?

Just got back from the world and the best question we heard was a lady asking the CM at the Land if the half chicken included breast meat. The CMs response: "It's a half chicken." Every time we saw chicken on the trip we would saw out loud to each other, "Does that include breast meat?" :ROFLOL:

My biggest peeve with stupid parents is when they bring their kids to a show with loud, startling noises. The kids then start to cry due to the loud startling noises. Then the parents don't leave and take care of their upset children.
Probably just me, but I don't see the point of bringing really young kids to Disney (3 and under). They aren't in the magical sweet spot for Disney visitors and it's likely that they will remember very little of the visit.

We saw that too while eating lunch at the Virgin store and we were looking down at the street.

Looking at the kid and screaming, "This is what happens when you act like a punk (PUNCH!)"
Yeah, negative reinforcement is about the WORST parenting technique EVER utilized by parents.the worst is watching parents buy things for their kids to shut them up....

Smarter alternative, just calmly say ok ok, drag them back to the hotel, leave them with the babysitter in the room people (sorry idk the name of those CM's), and make sure to rub it in that when you act like a child your vacation sucks, but when your ready to walk around the park like an adult you can join the adults.
If you make a pattern of that and never divert, after a couple of those messages the kids will behave without even trying!
Yeah your memory doesnt even work until after 3, and even then, until about 5 it doesnt really work well (but memory is flawed reguardless, but thats a diff topic). One of my professors started laughing histerically when she was talking about parents blowing all of this money on the kids 1-5 birthdays.
Last time at Epcot we had a loving parent who sat down during TTwC and proceded to watch there idk 2-3 y/o girl pace around the room EVEN AFTER not only the CM tried to stop her and the mom just chilled, but even CRUSH said something (trying HARD to stiffle his laughter). 'Crushes' amazing improv had me in stitches but after it was just another crappy parenting move that made me shake my head

That's because I didn't have Julie Bologna on property to tell me the weather! I had to look up at the sky to see if it was going to rain.:shrug:
Other than that, in general, I find that in places such as theme parks, people do tend to stop dead in their tracks, usually because they are lost. They get their bearings and do the 180 to get where they are going. To me, yeah it's annoying, but it's no big, because I'm at Disney. I found that just about everyone, with the exception of a few select CM's, were polite and friendly.
Some of the comments here about beating up dads, hip-checking kids and such, it's just uncalled for. Just witnessing something like this would take the magic right out of my trip. Of course little kids are going to run around and sometimes get upset: They are kids, that's what kids do. And it is WDW; there are going to be kids there. If anyone expects kids to be well behaved 100% of the time, and can't stand it when they are not, then I suggest vacationing somewhere where there won't be kids. :brick:

OK I agree about negative reinforcement. But expecting a child to act like an adult while on vacation in WDW???
It's one thing to behave appropriately, but a child should never have to act like an adult, especially while on vacation.
Maybe I'm a lucky parent or just have a lazy child. Either way, she'd rather be pushed in a stroller (4 at time of last visit) than walk. And not once did she act out or throw a temper tantrum. Two times she ran from us and that was when she met the princesses and then when she met Mickey. And...get this! She acted like a well behaved child our entire vacation. Not like a well behaved adult.
Do you always act like a well behaved adult all the time? By the sounds of your posts, I think I know the answer.:wave:

Just from personal experience, I can remember up until I'm around 5 years old and even then it's pretty spotty. A couple things from 4, a few from 3 and one distinctive memory of my crib. That's why I think the "magic sweet spot" is between 6-10 years old. Younger than 6 and you won't remember the experience. Older than 10 and you want more extreme rides. Then, once you hit college, you go retro for childhood and head back to all the things you loved when you where younger.
Excuse me, but Doug is on.

Heading for the great escape.
I dont always act like an adult, or should that be, I don't always conform to the restricted pattern of behaviour that some sections of society class as "normal". Nor to I wear my underpants outside my trousers, but I can leap buildings with a single bound, ok Barbies house.
That said, kids running wild is just a lack of discipline on the part of the failed parent and failure to establish rules and boundaries can have an unpleasant impact on others. Especially the little scrotes who cant behave in a restaurant.
I have never purchased anything as a silencer for my offspring, too busy treating myself.

I have to put this story in here.
When I was on my Disney College Program, a lady came up to one of the windows in my ticket booth. She wanted the Florida resident rate, however had no ID from Florida, she just said she had lived in Miami for 20+ years. Well she put up a big stink and wanted one of the cast member managers. When he got her and told her we needed proof of residency, she said, "I am not nor will I ever become a resident of Florida or a citizen of the United States." She was here legally from Cuba I believe. To which the manager answered that the discount is a Florida RESIDENTdiscount and you need to be a legal FL resident in order to receive it. She spent the next five hours walking around the ticket booths and repeating this story to anyone who would listen and complaining to any cast member that passed by.

Ugh
I have a story to end all stories...
While standing in line at It's a Small World (yeah...we waited 20 flippin' minutes!) my mom and I overheard someone behind us...get this...making fun of kids in wheelchairs getting off the boats. The comment maker was old enough to know better (at least 25), and was with his boyfriend and his mom. A lot of times, when standing in line, I let things go. I've learned that engaging these morons does nothing but raise my blood pressure. They. are. beyond. saving. But this time, I flipped. Of course, it proved nothing, but I couldn't just let them get away making such ignorant comments...

My youngest was first at WDW at around age 4 - she brings up things we did on that trip that I don't remember untill she describes them in detail.

Since when do we do things for our kids b/c they'll remember it!?! Should we ignore our kids (don't buy 'em a thing or take them anywhere) until the age of six!?! The won't remember it anyway, right!?!
I'm making these memories for myself and enjoying my children while they are this age. I don't care if my kids remember one detail of it!
Oh and btw, my 5 year old remembers things about our last two trips that I didn't even remember until he brought them up! I have had the two most magical vacations of my life with two children all under the age of 5!!!
Maybe you're been rammed by too many strollers in your day!:animwink: There is life before the age of 5 and it's a whole lot of fun!!!
