I wholehearted agree. It's like they want to drive home the point that WDW is for kids only and we're merely there for background noise
and I'm sure the kids plan it all and pay every Visa bill that comes in the mail too!

They don't - but how many adults wouldn't even think of going to see the mouse if it wasn't for their special unique snowflakes?

My sister and I were picked about 15 years ago to do something like this. I'm not sure what it was called back then. We were the first guests in the park and got to lead the way with a rope all the way to main street. It was a very memorable moment.
We rode Space Mountain like 6 times in a row without getting off.

Yes because there are other groups, and families that consist of just adults that pay good money to be there and this could be a fun experience for just adults too. I wouldn't say that I get super upset or it ruins my day or anything, that would be silly. It is what it is.

It has been suggested that this article be merged with Puer_aeternus#Peter_Pan_syndrome. (Discuss) Proposed since May 2014.
In psychology, Peter Pan Syndrome refers to younger generations' perceived unwillingness to grow up and their corresponding alleged immature behaviors (note: Peter Pan Syndrome is not a clinically recognised mental disorder). This syndrome is said to be most prevalent in the generation born in the mid-late 1980s and 1990s where the development of a sense of responsibility allegedly does not occur nearly as early as it used to. Possibly contributing factors might include over-protectiveness of modern parents, rising costs of living, and increased difficulty in finding satisfactory partners.
The name of the phenomenon was based on Peter Pan, a character who never ages and acts with carelessness and fearlessly cocky behaviors, created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie.

Totally agree. Just because we don't have kids doesn't mean we don't want any Disney magic - in fact we probably appreciate it more than they do!

I apologize, didn't think about that. But business wise makes sees. Pick the kids, they fall in love, then they bring their kids when they are older.

Do you think there's a minimum number of kids? Do they look for 2-3 kids specifically? Would they want older kids capable of waving, as oppsed to a couple with a baby?
Always wondered how specific their criteria is, and if they try to mix it up demographically as much as possible?
We have never made the welcome show. . . Not once. We've been so close, but we just can't get moving that fast.

This statement made my day!! Thank you.

About 10 years ago my sister and I decided to take our boys to Disney. They were in the 6 to 9 age range and one morning we went to AK. (First time for me there as well) While waiting for the park to officially open that day, out of the blue a CM asked if we would like to help open the park. This was totally random, we did not have one any Disney related shirts or anything, but I did have two children in that 6 to 12 age range. We walked in the opening parade and then escorted to the first bus of the Kilimanjo Safaris ride. The CM asked for my name before loading into the ride, but never figured out why.

We've opened Epcot. We had a nice conversation with the people at the turnstiles prior to the open of the park. We were nice to them, they were nice to us, maybe that's why they picked us?
