What Grinds Your Gears At the Parks?

[d1sn3y]

What grinds my gears is when people bring children to Walt Disney World... Let me explain myself before you freak out...

If your child needs to be in a stroller, it's probably not the best time to bring them. Chances are:

a) They are going to be too young to remember :brick:
b) You are going to spend more time dealing with screaming children in the heat than actually enjoying yourself :brick:
c) No one around you wants to listen to your screaming children in the heat :brick:
c) Spare yourself the trouble of having to load and unload your stuff on and off busses, trams, monorails ect... :brick:

It would be more enjoyable for everyone if your kid was around the age of 8 or so when you can have a little more control over the child, and I think the kid would be more appreciative after the trip too. Plus they will be tall enough to ride more of the rides if they are over, thus everyone in your party doesn't have to split up.

I know my views are not in line with popular belief... especially when we are talking about a vacation destination built for families.... Taking kids that are too young in my mind is just not optimal.

I only intended to indicate that this type of post draws a lot of fire.

I can't wait 8 years after I have a child...:lol:

I have to say I don't get very annoyed at the parks because I'm on vacation and I'm going to have fun. But a few things we could do without are:
1. Linebreakers
2. Spoiled adults (believe me, grownups can act just as bad as children sometimes)
3. People that don't read the huge menu before getting to the order taker and then take lots of time trying to decide what to eat.
4. Almost every adult on this board has pushed or will push a stroller at sometime in their lives, at Disney World. Pay attention to your surroundings before you suddenly decide to make a sharp turn left or right or stop in the middle of the walkway or cut in front of people. Same goes with people walking. I can't say how many times I've wanted to run over someones ankles or almost collided with someone just because they had to beat the person behind them.

Oh, and WDW is for all ages. And that's all I have to say about that. :wave:

So you dont remember any of your life prior to age 4 or 5?:shrug:
Lots of people have there kids in a stroller not due to there age but that for a young child walking all day and standing in line all day will make them very tired.

We can both agree on that.

Thank God that Walt didn't share your sentiment! There would be no Disneyworld.

Yeah, I've been going to WDW since I was a year old (as have all my siblings), and I can still remember a lot of things from the early trips. I can't imagine not going as a kid. So many great memories from back then.

 

[foreverbelle]

The only thing I can think of was last year, some kid was smoking in front of us. I know, totally not allowed but she didn't seem to care. Or pay attention to anyone else.:brick:

 

[archangel2790]

I try to enjoy myself as best I can while at WDW. If something begins to "grind my gears", then it's probably time to head back to the room for a nap or some down time. This is not to say there aren't things that bug me, but I try to keep them out of my mind until at least the end of the day or when I get home.

Just my $.25..... inflation, ya know?

And how do you know that the person isn't overweight from an injury, or from medication, or from some other reason, and that is the reason why they have to use the ECV? There is no way to know. I'm sure the majority of people on the ECVs are using them because they HAVE to (not because they want to), especially the people on wheelchairs/ECVs from outside the parks.

Usually they are overweight because they are lazy. If you are injured and can't work out that just means you need less calories. It may mean you only burn about 1,100 calories per day so that's all you eat. There is virtually no medication that will make you gain a profound amount of weight that would confine you to a chair (I actually can not think of any, although some will make you gain a bit of weight but not enough to cripple you). Most people just ate too much and got to lazy and fat and now can't move. Some have reasons but the ones that don't are upsetting to people. We are a terribly unhealthy country.

So much for family memories.

I was 3 in my first trip and remember quite a lot.:wave:

Chronic corticosteroids are a big cause of unwanted weight gain. There are many others. Actually I do agree that many people are lazy and overwieght (myself included although I have lost 30 lbs and counting). But there are people including postmenopausal females who find weight gain, even with calorie restriction, a reality. People with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis are debilitated and have unwanted weight gain.

How do you come off saying these things? Are you a doctor or something? Lazy???? You've got some nerve to say something like that.

Don't let them get to you. These are the same types of people that give me crap because of my GAC and the fact that I DON'T use a wheelchair or an ECV. I'll need one soon enough, and am not trying to rush into using it.

Last trip some fool asked me with a really haughty attitude what he had to do get "one of those cards". It took all my self control to not tell him the story of the CM and the Make a Wish girl... short story... "First get a dying child, then...":fork:

People don't get it, and unless they are DOCTORS they HAVE NO PLACE making judgments. So I ignore them. Maybe I'll live longer, LOL.. prolly not. Whatever. They won't affect my magical time in WDW.:wave:
