Banning adults from M&G's would do it. Adults in line for a M&G is the equivalent of a child wanting to play on a swing set but can't because a bunch of adults are hogging it. We gave up M&G's due this selfishness and instead book a couple of character meals.

I don't know that I completely agree with this. Adults hogging a swing set might hog said swing for a substantial amount of time, whereas at these M&G's there are undoubtedly CM's ensuring that no one guest "hogs" the time with the characters.

Besides, if an adult is paying money for park admission and really wants to meet a character, why should they not be able to do so? As much as admission costs, adults should certainly not be restricted from getting what they feel would be their money's worth.

Not sure what a better alternative would be, but I don't like this.

Mr Potter, do you have an official position about all of these lifestylers who tweet dawn till dusk about planning their next WDW trip while they count their government assistance check?

Because we want too :) You wanna know how many people think it's weird for adults to love WDW and go there without kids? A bunch.

I ain't ashamed, I love the M&Gs!

We were not talking WDW in general, a 4 hour queue was the specific.

Yes but you said you did not understand why adults would wait for a M&G, as if it was weird of them. My point was there are people who don't understand why you continue to visit WDW more than once if your an adult, they think your weird for going that. Same reason applies, because you want too.

And whoever suggested banning adults from M&Gs....yeah that ain't happening....:D

Indeed. Walt Disney World and its attractions, be they rides, shows, or character meets, are for the young and the young at heart.

Indeed. People like all sorts of things. There are adult men who watch and enjoy My Little Pony, of all things. I don't get it, but I'm not going to begrudge them something that brings them enjoyment, either.

Yeah, this is taking an uncomfortable turn. So best be done with this twist.

Score! :)

First try, got it.

M&G with the Frozen ladies 2:30pm-3:20pm on June 3rd.

Also picked up Splash Mountain and Space Mountain same day.

I am in Texas so 11pm here is midnight in Florida, I was able to do FP+ at 11pm local time. I am still at 61 day technically, well for 56 more mins anyways :)

Bronies they are called. I am not one but I did watch a documenetray on Netflix about them. That is huge really, a big movement of guys.

They sell Spaceship Earth mugs at DLR. It's the Magic of OneDisney!
I always wonder why they never kept the "exclusive" status of some products.
You do not go to Disneyland to get WDW merchandise.


I wonder how the CMs who play the princesses feel during those M&Gs. Must take very special people to have a smile on their face for that long every day.
or botox, lots of botox ;)


Stick them in Blizzard Breach. Guests must wear bathing suits to meet them.

Shorter wait times.
But the sight of some people will be scary.

As a man who actually wanted a few pictures with the chars (and of course.. Princess Merida) I agree.
I paid my ticket and I wanted to meet them!

I would not recommend you search that on the net on an unfiltered search.
A big percentage of these guys are VERY NASTY.

I watch a lot of history documentaries on Netflix, in turn Netflix tries to recommend other documentaries I might like. The Bronie one popped up in that list. I watched it out of sheer fascination, it was not bad really. The guys they showed were pretty normal, but I bet some are a wee bit weird.

Of course that is coming from me, a guy who just booked a M&G with Disney princesses so yeah......

To be fair, that's true of ANY fandom. There's one notoriously infamous Harry Potter fanfic about the Hogwart's school and a giant squid.
a.. giant squid.. as in the sea animal? or a tall wizard who cant pull magic? o_O

also the problem with bronies is.. they are extremely vocal and justify their actions a lot (aka shove their opinions onto other fandoms)

An actual squid that lives in the moat around Hogwart's. Things... happen.

Oh, heavens yes. Bronies are loud, obnoxious, and hypocritical. I was once online bullied by several people professing to be Bronies. Later, on twitter, I made a comment about how annoying they are and some of them were, "Have you even seen the show?" and I'm like, "What in blue blazes does the show have to do with your appalling behavior?"
