I hope you videod it!
That was my entire point, people didnt bring as many infants as before. They waited till they could walk usually. Every situation of course is different. But you look at most pictures from the 70s and even the 80s and there are alot less infants in the photos. And I am in way attacking or saying anything bad about anyone.
No it doesn't.
People bring babies and young children with them to many places they wouldn't have in the past, including restaurants, baseball games and other outings the child could not possibly understand. This isn't something that is unique to Disney, nor does it have anything to do with the child remembering the experience. It could be because society is now more welcoming to young children in these places; it could very well be that people are more mobile and don't live near relatives who can be depended upon for babysitting.That was my entire point, people didnt bring as many infants as before.

The op asked why there were more strollers, and that was my answer. People didnt bring as many infants.
But the park has changed in who it markets after as well, the world has changed, and as someone said strollers have changed alot. If all we had were 70s umbrella strollers we wouldd prob see less strollers as well
- just had to add my perspective.
You know that babies can't remember anything until they're about two years old, right? So what do you suggest parents do? Because baby isn't going to remember Walt Disney World, or the Grand Canyon, or a visit to Grandma's house, or a walk on the beach. So are mom and dad meant to lock themselves inside a house for two years until their child is old enough to remember things?
I think my parents did this. But I don't remember...
No video sadly - video on phone then wasn’t great. We do have amazing pictures thoughI hope you videod it!
Soo, what we did for every trip out there is make a large Shutterfly coffee table photo book of the trip.
That collections of books have become a family treasure.
...also, they make great gifts for the kids when they grow up. And they will.
Blessed be the parents who went to Disney before they had kids, for they know what true freedom is.
Is it still ok if we just don't bring any of our kids?
So true
. Though I will say, when DH and I would go early in our marriage, there was one trip where he had some work to do for his masters each day, and I didn’t really love being in Disneyland by myself. 
Now you have it.
Never said they could, not once! I felt that 6 was the earliest that I would not have taken my children any younger partially because of that. The other reason was because it was an unnecessary burden on my enjoyment to handle a stroller all day long for no reason. I feel that any healthy child with working legs can handle walking just as well, if not better then an adult. Kids were given legs to walk on and the idea that they cannot do it after 6 years old is just nonsense. On an full family trip the youngest, my granddaughter, was 5 1/2 years old and she did fine. And just for information no one should walk 9 miles a day in 95 degree heat and 90% humidity especially adults. But I should point out that you don't walk 9 miles a day all in one unit. You stop, you give your butt a ride on the attractions, usually in AC and then walk a short distance to the next attraction. The longest one usually walks are into and out of the park at the end of the day. Kids are much more resilient then we give them credit for.
That was basically my point. Should we keep children inside doing nothing til
This seems to come up only where Disney is involved. Maybe it’s because there are people who think of a Disney vacation as being primarily for kids or a once-in-a-lifetime event that they should be able to fully experience and remember. If you discuss the concept in other contexts it clearly makes no sense.
Yep…. How many infants do we see at the beach or encouraged to go swimming. How many pics of kids we going to see w Santa in the coming months. How many infants did we just see in costumes for Halloween? The list is endless but God forbid we take our kids to Disney…. As i said i took mine not to post pics on social media lol.
Exactly. And when I get asked the inevitable question of when should I take my kids - that’s the question I ask. Do you plan on this being a once in a lifetime trip, or will you go back?
