No need to apologize. I understand that there are times where profanity on a family board where kids could be reading can't be avoided. I appreciate you attempting to cover it up by using a common alternative for a vulgar expression.

You know you can get free cups of water from most quick service locations. It's not bottled, but its free. And may help you out with rule 2.
I have one rule: Behave like you have some common sense.
I apply this rule to everyone I share the park with. My rule is broken a lot

We did a big family reunion trip in Jan/Feb one year. It was a little chilly in the mornings (low 50's), but it warmed up very quickly after the sun came up. My family dressed appropriately: we were a tiny little bit chilly for an hour in the morning and then comfortable the rest of the day. Everyone else? They brought their giant winter coats for the first hour, and then piled them on our stroller for the rest of the day! It's Florida, who knew it would warm up? It was a Nimitz-class stroller, but it was still so weighed down with coats that it tipped over whenever my kids got out! I don't even have to tell you guys that nobody else wanted to take their turn pushing the mobile coat rack...

Rule #1- We can only use our feet to pick up food that has fallen on the floor at counter service restaurants. We use “fancy” manners at the classier table service restaurants.
Rule #2- Shouting, “I’ve got a hankerin’ for some serious Mickey” can only be done when first entering the parks. It is forbidden throughout the remainder of the day.
Rule #3- Walking around the parks with a toothpick sticking out of one’s mouth is allowed only if the service end of the toothpick is never allowed to become the exposed end.
Rule #4- We are never allowed to show our fascination and excitement for indoor plumbing when exiting the restrooms. Such behavior is reserved for more discreet areas such as the Space Mountain ride vehicles.
Yes, a few simple rules help to make our family trips to Walt Disney World a more enjoyable, yet socially acceptable treat for all.

#1. There is no crying at Walt Disney World. That means anywhere on the property.
#2. Yes you can go swimming.
#3. Have fun, and have more fun.
#4. If you want something, and I am paying for it, don't complain that you got it.

Just for fun, if my husband were to post here this is what he would say....
1.) We dont leave the room until I have a cup of coffee. (Has caused problems in the past when we couldnt find coffee in AK. Now I get coffee for him while he showers.)
2.) Dad controls the ride vehicle at Buzz Lightyear.
( Mom gets stuck riding with dad)
3.) When I get tired and need to rest and have a beer I will leave you in the parks with the kids. ( No complaints from me!
This is when I shop!)
4.) We drive to the parks. (He hates the packed buses)

6. We will purchase at least one of every snack and ice cream from the snack carts
7. We will take a sip of Beverly even though we know how horrible it tastes and that it will make us hurl
8. We will hunt down and get an autograph from Jiminy Cricket
9. We will hunt down some kind of souvenir that has Jiminy Cricket on it to add to our collection at home

Oh my goooodness! We must be related- i LOATHE the "sacred cow" effect at WDW. Don't just park yourself in the middle of the pathway, 4 abreast, just yapping away and ignoring everyone else having to squeeze around you.
AND- don't be a "smart phone zombie"- you are on vacation, it's the most magical place on the planet & you have your face plastered to a small screen. And aforementioned zombies tend to walk slower than creeping crud/ stop in the middle of aisles to update their facebook status. It's called life, people. Live it & get off the phone!

Unless your son loses his favorite jacket in the "whole wide world" at 1900 Park Fare and no one turns it in when its 55F outside and he's wearing a short sleeve shirt. That was the one and only time that WDW was not the happiest place on Earth!
We have a simple rule. Treat everyone the way you want to be treated. Want to go on Tomorrowland Speedway for the fifth time? Then you need to wait while mom does some shopping (plus if momma ain't happy ain't no one happy).
That rule goes for everyone. Not just my son. I know there is stuff my wife wants to do that I don't want to do, and there are things I like to do that she doesn't like.

1.) Were in Disney, be a kid and have fun!
2.) Nobody in the parks or otherwise can stop you from having a great time, remain respectful to others and enjoy your day.
3.) be considerate of others, its their special day too.
4.) Soak in all in, this place is built for memories.

The rules for my kids are the same at home.
#1 - ANY wall, corner, brick or spot on the street can and WILL be used for time out when necessary. Time out's apply even in Disney World.
#2 - Stay with me at ALL TIMES. If I move, you move. I say your name, you better come. Any violation will get you a time out. (yes, including my husband)
#3 - NO complaining about rides. I rode Buzz Lightyear 3 times in a row for you, you can ride People Movers and like it. HAHA.
#4 - ABSOLUTELY UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS MY FIL ALLOWED BACK.
Seriously, tell us how you really feel. lol.

New rules for upcoming trips:
1. Cannot use an electronic device in the park unless it is for checking wait times, getting in touch with someone else in the group for emergencies, or taking pictures. We are at the Happiest place on Earth and everyone that is important to us knows this so we don't need to Facebook it, Twiiter it, and/or text it.
2. If work calls, we don't pick it up. We are on vacation and have worked hard to be here, now leave us alone.
3. If you are hungry, need a drink, or are tired, just let me know. We are here to have fun and don't want anyone unhappy.
4. You may have one souvenier on this trip that you may pick out, choose wisely. Anything above and beyond is a bonus from mommy and daddy.
Most importantly...
5. You must do one kind act per day, that is above and beyond common courtesy, to make someone else's day magical (it could be a CM or another park guest your choice).

Thank you, my boys are 5 & 3 and on our November trip my wife and I decided that we would like them to do something nice for someone else. Not sure what they will do but it will be interesting to see what they come up with.
