I didn't mean to sound like I thought CMs were neglecting anything, lol, for all I know, they could be out there once an hour wiping down the screens...I was mostly agreeing on how gross it looked last time we were there after who knows how many kids' hands had been all over it. I can't even imagine the nastiness that makes its way onto that entire queue in just 10 minutes, never mind the span of a few hours. I really have a love/hate relationship with that queue - love that its so entertaining for the kiddos, hate that it just begs to be covered in germs. Sticky hands, hands that have been wiping noses, hands that have been doing all kinds of things and not been washed enough. (To this day, I keep a small baggie of baby wipes in my park bag - those things can be lifesavers!)

True, and our being proactive in the process helps, but, can you imagine just how critically boring life would be if we all lived in a sterile bubble and were never allowed to experience life with all its external dangers? Sometimes we just have to allow our bodies natural defenses to reach their full potential, as hard as that is to do sometimes, and not think that we can head them all off and just enjoy our lives. Especially as kids, since we only get to be that for a very brief period of time.

HAHAHA...I totally get you! I'm about as far from one of those "germophobe" moms as you can get...if a surface seems to be generally clean, it's fine. It's stickiness that gets me. My mother, on the other hand...she actually called me one summer and said I should never let the boys out into the yard barefoot as there had been a new "amoeba-type" thing discovered that can enter their bodies through their feet. UGH. There are unseen dangers all over the world...I'm not about to curb their childhood's because of it. We spend most days in the summer at a local pond swimming with fish and turtles, and though she comes with us a couple of times a year, I can tell by the look on her face that she's thinking of all the bacteria they're being exposed to.

Honestly, because HISTK was outside, Mother Nature worked hard to prevent spread of disease.

On the other hand, when I saw my son LICKING those touch screens in the Pooh queue last year, I about lost it. I hate that queue for a multitude of reasons, most significantly the filth and noise.

Fun fact, if you lick those screens you get trace amounts of all known diseases and become immortal.

Honestly, anywhere you have a ton of kids entering is a germ factory. They'd have to wipe down every surface at every kids' place twice daily (and even that wouldn't be enough).

I know at Chuck E. Cheese's we sanatize the table the INSTANT a family leaves it and wipe down the games non-stop. We are also instructed to Clorox-wipe the Chuck E. suit after we wear it, and the bathrooms are cleaned out 3 times a day: Open, Noon, Close. EVERYTHING is indeed disinfected during these cleanings, but I still use hand santazier after stamping kids in, thanks to flu season going around.

What a wild notion huh?

I personally think Purell is bad for you, just my belief. Your body needs to be susceptible to other germs as it helps build immunity over time to certain virus and illnesses. My sister uses it like its water and she is constantly sick (could be she has 2 little ones as well but you get my point)

I had two small children in my youth as well. Still never sick. Just the normal once a year colds and regular things that purell wouldn't have affected anyway. I agree and preach, let your natural immune system do it's job and in order to do its job it has to be exposed to evil things. One way or the other, we are all going to die I don't care how much Purell is used in a lifetime. And all the Purell in the world will not stop that from happening.

I seriously don't use Purell all the time. And I agree that your immune system needs to be exposed to things. But as an adult on vacation, I have no problem with wiping my hands after using a toy weapon that's been handled by hundreds and hundreds of other guests before me before I go and eat my lunch. And, yeah, I know the plane seatbelt on my flight was probably a thousand times worse and for some reason that doesn't bother me.

I like to wash my hands before I eat, otherwise I subscribe to my Nan’s philosophy - we all have to eat a peck of dirt before we die.

During MNSSHP they have the haloween music piped in the queue and never in my life have i realized how loud that queue is. Talk about sound overload. For whatever reason without the Pooh music it was nearly unbearbly hellish.
