Oh, I don't disagree with you. I never understood why they couldn't provide childcare in a separate space of the school for the one hour that the meet the teacher presentation takes. But, if I were explicitly told I should not take my child to something, I would stay home if childcare wasn't possible. Just my personality. (And that's probably one of the reasons why there were so few parents there.)
Now, parent-teacher interviews are a bit different. You aren't trying to hear an unmicrophoned teacher talk to you at the front of a gymnasium filled with 100 people. I would do what you did in a heartbeat. I have had to occasionally take my son to meetings for my work, for that matter. I stick him in my office with an iPad while we meet next door in the board room. (Less so after I remarried.)
We all had a wonderful trip. We met so many nice people this time. Pirates looks wonderful. The land looked pretty with the Halloween Decorations. Of course Magic Kingdom was all decked out. We didn't sample as much of food and wine as we wanted. I found I was getting pretty tired and it was relatively warm too. We had no rain, yea! Most of the people were well behaved in lines and with strollers. They were so plentiful, and I've never seen so many ECV's. There were at least two on every bus, with leaving some behind for the next bus. We were on a long bus, and there were 3 on there. Not many seats left on the bus. We rode in the center standing on the moving parts, interesting when one foot moves and the other doesn't. I almost fell over on a turn, and the guy in his 40's sitting, started laughing. That was the rudest thing I saw all week. I wanted to deck him. He had no disability and no kids. I noticed no one offering anyone a place to sit down. There was a couple older than us, and they had to stand too. It was the most crowded I've seen in October every park was busy every day. So many people, we waited in stand by for Figment for 35 minutes. That's how crowded it was. Fast pass was a life saver. But most wait times were at least 20 minutes. All in all it was a great trip. Pecos Bill's new food is so good, but you have to love cilantro, it was in almost everything on the plate. The black beans were my favorite, a very mild flavor to them so they beans were good. The chicken, was not good to me....way too much cilantro. Hubby loved it, he loves cilantro. The rice also had cilantro in it. So I many had beans a little rice, and guac. red onions, and salsa red. The combination was wonderful. Lots of ways to put things together...we had the fajita's. And got three large flour tortillas. We shared the food on the plate and we didn't finished the rice or tortillas. Oh, there was green peppers and sautéd onions. That didn't seem necessary to me , so hubby took care of those! The food we had at food and wine was as good as I remembered. It was a great time! I'm 4 pounds heavier, and I've got to lose before the next trip. Yikes! Now I'm up 14 pounds from the june trip. 
It was a great time, and Disney bakery is the best. Gaston's cinnamon rolls weren't warm, therefore not as good as before, they had much less cinnamon in the center of the rolls, from the first time I had them, when they had just opened up. All their other baked goods were wonderful, we didn't make it to Las Halles. Going to do that for sure in January. Thanks for interest in the pictures and the trip! Glad to be back, I love it on here!
