Anybody going to the parade on Monday?
Does anyone know how my post about Disney ruining other vacations end up in the the Congratulations Raptors thread? Weird.I think so. People get caught up in it as fans and media start hyping up the possibility of "this could happen". I don't mind it, never have, with a couple of exceptions that I won't get into.
I’m guessing you have previously used the “+quote” and had added it to your clipboard.I wouldn't say Disney ruins other vacations for me. Other trips I take have different goals and different expectations. I'm up for quirky (usually century old) hotels in other places. But when I'm at Disney I have a certain expectation there. I'm seldom disappointed.

There was apparently a shooting nearby. Some office buildings (including the one my wife works in) on lockdown.
We were at York and Bremner, far away from the scary scenes at Nathan Philips square, but even where we were you could see potential for trouble. There was zero crowd control meaning the parade itself made painfully slow progress which rose tempers, add in the sun and the drinking in the streets and things were starting to bubble. We were very lucky where we were. We had a wall to perch on and a tree for shade.
My kids nearly lost their tiny minds waiting though. I live a 15 min walk away and we were expecting to be home in time for lunch. Ended up being there from 8.45 to 1.45. Luckily we had snacks for the kid’s but by the end they all really needed to pee and there was no way for us to get them out until the crowds dispersed.
I’ve heard from people who were at Nathan Philips square that it was very scary. Lost kids, potential for crush, honestly I think things could have been way worse. Loads of people were taken away on stretchers after collapsing from heat exhaustion.
I don’t. Cause I’m just a bandwagon fan.Remember when they beat the Orlando Magic in round 1? That was awesome!
