Are You Happy Or Grumpy.

[real mad hatter]

Morning Folks. Last year whilst standing at the front of the rope drop at Epcot there was this American family standing right behind us.Mum,Dad,& three kids,ages around 6 to 12. The mother & three kids were in hyper mood but the father had a face as long as a horse.He then blurted out " Iam looking forward to Test Track " but when i told him it was closed due to refurbishment. Well he looked at me and asked " where did you hear that from?" So I told him. He then yelled at his family complaining what a waste of money for the ticket,his face was Mr Angry.I felt sorry for his wife & kids as I could see by their expressions that today wasn't going to be magical.So when you visit the parks,what is your attitude if something is broke down or out of order? Are you a Grumpy Dwarf or a Happy Dwarf.? For me I wouldn't let it get me down.Theres too much magic in the parks to let it spoil my day.

If you worry about money at WDW, you are going to be a miserable person. WDW hires marketers and psychologists to find every possible way for the Rat to get into your back pocket. I was Mr. Angry the last week or two because the crap cloud was flying over my head. That's over now because we are there in 2 days.

I'm always happy when I'm in the world. But I was grumpy over the weekend when my kids were sneezy!

Do you know what a weekend visit costs? Any way they are feeling better already!

Its always interesting to see families from all over the world have a meltdown. no matter what language they speak, you can tell exactly whats happening during a WDW meltdown!

A ride under refurb is no reason to be grumpy...heck, I can go and be happy having never set foot on a ride.

Are you real or just make believe?

Doesn't matter to me if a ride is down. Just move on and have a ball doing what comes next!

If you're looking for a bargain at Disney... wrong place to look. I can understand the frustration of bringing a family, but there is a value to the memories you create with your children, so... be mature and don't spoil it for them.

Well, I do make every receipt into a PowerPoint slide and display them one by one whilst the eldest adds up all the costs with a calculator before bed each night.

Got ya.For a second I thought I was the bad grumpy family,had to check my thread.Yes,I agree.He looked like " What am I doing here in the first place" At first I thought he was joking about the ticket price until I looked at the kids faces.Thats when my DW pulled me round and said," Now look what you've done " Eh!
