Did I deserve to get yelled at?

Might be the translation to the UK, but maybe she snapped at your because your joke sucks

It's only an inappropriate comment because of where you were. You were a 16yo guy just having fun at the parks, but these little girls are having a real magical experience meeting a character they adore. I think the mom just didn't want that experience tainted. It's a funny joke, just try and remember who the experience was meant for.

She was was too uptight.
And you were way to eager to blurt out something that wasn't even remotely funny.

Ah, the sourpuss brigade found its way to this thread.

Personally, what I find offensive are people harassing a sixteen year old boy. Who does this woman thinks she is to berate this group of kids?

You do not need to be a five year old girl or her warrior-parent to be allowed into a Disney attraction. And every audience member has a right to enjoy an attraction in his or her way without harassment from others as long as it doesn't disturb normal enjoyment of other guests.

I was going to say the SAME thing about the sour pusses.

You nailed it right there.

Of course it is! The poster asked why he was yelled at. I was explaining why. He was a 16yo guy acting like a 16yo guy in a place where you wouldn't expect to find that. Of course the woman overreacted, just put yourself in her shoes.

How was the joke in any way tainting the experience? And at what age are you not allowed to have fun at a Disney park? If I have a chuckle at HM as I go past the photo in tha attic, or count the mini drops on Splash and say "ohhh, getting close to the big one" to DS, is that "tainting the experience"?

Disney is for the whole family, not just little girls. In any case a 5 year old is unlikely to understand the joke anyway.

I’m just wondering why you wouldn’t expect a 16 year old to act like a teen at Disney? A Disney Park is exactly where you would expect it...adults act like kids there, why can’t teens act their age?

 

[magicmom4]

Disney is most definitely for the whole family. That doesn't mean every experience or ride is designed for everyone. They didn't make Mission Space with a toddler in mind, or Disney Junior Live! for teenagers. The whole point, though, is to be respectful.

I do expect it! And he was acting like one. And the mom who yelled figured why would a 16yo boy even be at that experience? He knows why and he got called out for it.

Well he must not or else he wouldn’t have posted, and I see nothing offensive or inappropriate in his joke. The woman just sounded uptight to me.

So 16yo boys shouldn't be at this "experience"? I must be pretty dense because I don't understand why he should understand why he shouldn't be there and why he got called out for his joke.

Whoa. Judgemental much?

My youngest is 18 now. His favourite ride is Tomorrowland Speedway. That's really the most excitement / thrill feeling he can cope with, he doesn't like drops, going backwards or anything where his senses go into overload. He spends his time in MK doing stuff like Small World, Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Jungle Cruise and Buzz on his own. He's quite happy doing that and playing SOTMK. He can cope with POTC and HM if he's with someone else. But according to you, he shouldn't be on these rides because they weren't designed for him? He can't go and have fun because you think he shouldn't be at those experiences?

You didn't post the question. The poster asked why he got yelled at, I offered an explanation. Get over it already.

You’re the only one who needs to get over anything, since you were apparently so offended by the innocent joke.

Not sure if you deserved to be yelled at for your joke but you definitely deserve to be yelled at for this post.
