As someone who has taken kids to Disneyland since the age of 8 months, I know how necessary a stroller was to provide a place for them to nap and to enable me to not have to carry them around all day which is exhausting! I also know what a pain it is to fold up and get the thing on the train, have to find a place to park it and then find it afterwards, have to push it around all day in tight places, and have to walk amongst other strollers all day. But I look at it as a necessary evil. I try to be understanding when I have to maneuver around them all day. But it sure is nice having kids who can walk their dang selves now.

I got you beat. I took my son for the first time at 4 months old.

Why not? I would. :D Clearly I'd be a terrible parent.

You guys probably think I hate kids, but I really do like them. Just don't let them get in the way when I'm at Disneyland haha.
Just because they have responsibilities doesn't mean adults don't need breaks and fun time too even if it means leaving the little monsters home. In fact, that would be a great form of punishment when they're kids ;)
Changing diapers, while better at Disneyland than a lot of places, still sucks. God there is so much crap to lug around for babies!! And try to keep a binkie clean and off the ground at Disneyland, I dare you!
Don't take such a young kid. Problem solved.

I wanted to so I did. I don't regret it, just saying I can understand needing things like strollers to ease the load.

I feel so bad seeing kids asleep on their strollers with mom andcdad just continuing on their day. When I got tired, we went some place I could nap or we went home.

Yeah, kids napping in strollers ought to be considered child abuse.

I wouldn't go that far. But let the poor kid rest someplace better suited. When I visit the parks with kids, they set the day. We do what they would like to do and when they get tired, we take a break or leave. I'm not going to force a sleeping child stay at the park just because I want to stick around.

It's called a nap and they usually last about an hour (for my son at least). When he wakes up we can go on with the rest of our day. We don't go and wake him up for a ride if he's sleeping. That's the time we eat or shop. I think running back to a hotel so a kid can take a short nap is a little ridiculous. Unless you need the rest as well ;). Again, that's my son. He doesn't take 2-3 hour naps. If he did, as an AP, I would probably plan around that nap and go to the park after or not take him at all.

I was being sarcastic. And a sleeping child is sleeping, you don't need to force them to do anything because they are SLEEPING.

To briefly interrupt the discussion about sleeping infants here is another vlog by Yensid55 summarising progress in December. I loved the footage of an imagineer working on a log. I never knew that they did this, I thought they were "thinkers" not "doers".



Hey, we're just biding our time waiting for good vids like this one. Thanks!
