I need to vent.....ever since I found out that you can get a haircut at the Magic Kingdom, I have got one there each trip on our 1st day. When our kids were born, my wife and I insisted on getting their first haircuts there as well. My 4 year old got his cut again and insisted on getting matching cuts & colored gel as well. How can you say no! Anyways, we got our hair cut, are red Mickey heads on the back and some red gel up front to spike up our short hair. All the cast members we encountered were awesome, complementing on our new 'dos. My son loved it. This is were it went sour....
We were staying in the Boardwalk Villas and decided to take the Monorail back to Epcot to grab a bite to eat and quickly walk through the park. As we were walking past Canada, some jerk pointed out to my son and I & proceeded to make fun of our hair to his group. That's fine and all but when he swears and started referring to us both as ... (I don't think it's appropriate here or in the parks but I believe the term is used as a cigarette in Europe), that was enough. Whether the jerk was loaded doing a drink around the world or not, calling a 4 your old (or anyone) was uncalled for. My wife was trying to keep me going straight and away. When I turned & began walking toward him, this immuture moron got up and ran.
Not that I was going to do anything that would jeopardize me from getting booted out of the parks, but that really ticked me off. I've read in previous posts that unfortunately Disney cannot weed out the brain dead, but how do I explain to a four year old why people can be so rude & insensitive. Trust me, my mouth isn't clean by all means, but I do try to respect people around me, especially little ones.
I guess my point is that if you see someone with gooped up hair especially a child, ackowledge them positively. That was and is one of our highlites with each trip to the Magic Kingdom. Other than that, it was an awesome trip!!! the lady (Diane) that also happened to cut my one & half year old daughter's hair for the first time was awesome. She giggled the whole time!
