What Would You Ban?

[Nick Wilde]

he didn't want alcohol in the parks to prevent drunkards from making the place seem like a run-of-the-mill carnival.

Which is also my reason. There's beer everywhere, and F&W is well known as "drunkytown." I just don't think it belongs in a Disney park. I'm not against going to a bar and having a drink, (not that I would) but Disney isn't really the place. That's all.

 

[mf1972]

with all this banning, there'll be no one left in the parks.

 

[MississippiBelle]

There is a VAST chasm between "drinking alcohol" and "drunk."

Agreed. Some people know their limits and some people see limits as a challenge but really, there are children present so maybe the answer is enforcing some kind of "limit" rule (3 drinks per person or something). They have the technology.
Something I wish Disney could enforce is a 1 shower per day rule. Nothing like standing in line next to someone who decided to skip shower day!

I know exactly what you're talking about, last time I was on Pirates all you could smell was someone's armpits it was like sitting with one of the pirates

Oh so someone wheeling around babies while drinking is just ok, they are not disgusting,

Provided they're drinking responsibly and taking adequate care of their child, then YES it's okay and NO they are not disgusting.

 

[Matt_Black]

Correct. I just put my nine month old to bed and now I'm cracking open Magic Hat #9. On a weeknight! I might even go in to kiss her before I brush the devil water from my mouth.

Please call the authorities on my behalf. I'm not fit to be a father and I might do something I regret after that single beer. Maybe I'll even have two (GASP)!

You'll probably put one of those little umbrellas in your drink too, you MONSTER.

I'm even drinking it in one of these glasses. That's right... alcohol paraphernalia IN MY HOME. Yet Jesus still loves me and none of my crucifixes have caught fire.

Someone should tell ninjaprincesst that It's Tough To Be a Bug features the voice of notorious drunkard Dave Foley. Seriously, the Kids in the Hall have made jokes that the drinking game is whenever Dave is drinking in a sketch, take a drink. They even referenced it in the Rutt & Tuke commentary on Brother Bear.

You can call me names all you want but I am the one who has buried one of my best friends and her 5 year old and 3year old sons after they were killed by a driver who had only had two drinks. All it takes is one drink to affect your judgment and motor skills. And by they way I do drink but never in front of my child or any other child and never drive.

 

[Matt_Black]

Who said anything about driving? No one is allowed to bring their Honda into Epcot....

I'm not really sure what name anyone called you, but now that you have gone to Defcon 5 and brought death into the situation, I'll just say that I am sincerely sorry for your loss, but you cannot seriously blame people who are having fun on vacation for this past tragic situation, which, again, I am sorry for. We do not drive on our Disney vacations, and thus, we take advantage of quite a few drinks, and the Disney transportation system. And I am not apologetic for that at all, because it is not hurting anyone.

what ONE thing would you want to ban if you could?

1. Children under the age of 5.
- You just spent $85 on a children's ticket for your two-year-old. Do you HONESTLY believe they're going to remember it?
- You just spent $85 on a children's ticket for your three year old...and you're in the middle of Central Florida. Florida gets hot. Lines get long. Very young children get irritable.
- Just admit it, it's all about YOU posting cutesy pictures on your Facebook page. You're not coming to Disney for your KIDS....you're coming to Disney for your EGO! YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PERSON!

2. Children under 13 in World Showcase altogether.
- WS is supposed to be for mature audiences.
- The addition of the Frozen ride and Frozen Annex at Norway will only mean that eventually some idiot helicopter moms are going to start griping about alcohol in World Showcase. We're going to see a push to ban most alcohol in WS, and "Drinking Around the World" will be a thing of the past.

3. Idiots who drop one knee and pop the question in front of Cinderella Castle.
- You're not doing something quirky or unique. Ten million other couples have done the exact same thing in the exact same spot.
- You're blocking traffic, you inconsiderate buttmonkeys.
- I hope you get divorced.

4. Tour Groups.
- I've got no problem with people coming from all over the world to enjoy the parks. But my god, let's get rid of these horrible stampedes.
- Anyone who tries to start a chant will have their mouths stitched shut.

No, but there are the ECV's...

What about dropping to one knee in EPCOT? Can't a girl be happy?! GEESH! Don't kill my dreams

 

[FettFan]

What about dropping to one knee in EPCOT? Can't a girl be happy?! GEESH! Don't kill my dreams

EPCOT would be acceptable, given that there is a LOT of free space, and a lot of options. Propose in front of the Fountain of Nations? Cool. Propose in front of the American Adventure with SSE in the background? Go for it!


The issue that concerns me with Cinderella Castle is the traffic blockage on Main Street USA. People are either going into the hub and to a Land, or they are going to the Train Station and exit....stopping to block the flow of things right at the Main Street outlet is horribly self-centered and inconsiderate.

They got what they deserved.

Umad bro? I brought my daughter at six months and I'm bringing her again at fifteen months and at least every year thereafter. She won't remember it but she had an absolute blast last time. Yes, at six months. There are also documented psychological benefits of exposing babies and young children to different environments.

That must be one hell of a drink.

All the research shows that children who are sheltered from alcohol are much more likely to binge drink later in life. So everything you're doing is counter productive.
