The only thing I ever spoke up about was how my then-husband dealt with the stroller. For some reason he was just awful with figuring out how far back he needed to be, and regularly hit people's ankles. Since I was once repeatedly hit in the achilles heels by a lady with a big stroller (at a festival in Alexandria VA, not Disney), I know how much it hurts. At a certain point he was just forbidden to push the stroller.
Do forgive the length of this; I just love reading a long post and thinking thoughts.
That is awesome. I'll have to remember it. One time in the line for Kali a Brazilian woman (mentioned because there was a language barrier and also a cultural barrier, which he was sensitive to since his mom is from a country where personal space isn't really a thing) was standing that close to my then-husband and it freaked him out! It was also a broiling hot day, and even we weren't standing that close to each other.
I had lasik done in 2002. It screwed up my dark to light and light to dark vision. If someone sets off a flash after I've gotten used to a dark ride, I'm basically blind for a minute or more. It SUCKS. And it hurts. Over the last 5 years or so it's started to get better, but I still get scared.
Some wheelchair/scooter users feel that way, and some walkers feel that they do. I've gone around Disneyland with a friend who uses a scooter and saw all the walking people being absolute idiots. And I went around Disneyland with an acquaintance (from a disboards group trip) who uses a scooter terribly and I saw that person be absolutely terrible about it.
FWIW RNRC doesn't really go upside down. It corkscrews in a way that is different from an actual upside-down coaster. I love coasters that go upside down, and I despise RNRC because it hurts my whole body the way it corkscrews.
Is that what that was? I remember that day.
Relatable. "Honey, you just hit that person with your backpack" was a common refrain...
Aw.
Poor thing! My son thought we had died and were skeletons for YEARS after the first time he rode Tower of Terror at Disneyland. He's 17 and I think he still kind of does, it was that strong a feeling.
Why? What good does it do them then?
Can I walk around telling people to chill out with the stinky laundry detergent and heinous Bounce dryer sheets? I can't even walk down the laundry aisle without going into asthma, and it's gotten worse since I haven't been around people in 1.5 years. Princess weekend is going to be fun.
So true. Just today I was cut off in traffic for the third time in a row (not b/c of driving slowly, just people making weird turns), and I finally realized that I would rather people think that I'm gentle enough to do that and be safe, rather than be thought of as dangerous.
Awwwww.
Same. Love that parade! My son loved parades as well. He's never been to one where candy is being given out, but he's been waved at by Woody, and it made his year.
No.
You were right. That is exactly what they mean when they say to come back to them. They know you waited in line, and they don't want you to do that again. I had that happen at a ride at Disneyland once, when we were just about at the seating area and my son had to go to the bathroom immediately. We told the CM (we were JUST about to be seated and needed her to open the gate so we could rush to the bathrooms) and they said to come to the exit. She meant it, too. When we got back there was absolutely no line, so we didn't do it b/c there was no need, but we would have done so. That's what she meant, after all.
Sometimes you get so set in one direction that you can't even think of the other. They were probably hungry, thirsty, tired, and frazzled that they just couldn't even think straight to realize that they could just go. Good for that man. I was visiting my brother once and we went to a very crowded restaurant. I was bending myself into pretzel shapes trying to keep the 17 month old kiddo happy, and my brother (who did not and does not have children) simply suggested that we take our food to go and get back to his place where he and I could have a couple beers. Saying that made me realize what a horrible time I was having, and that I was tormenting my overwhelmed kiddo to keep him quiet in that place. We packed up, got home, ate and had some beers and life was GOOD.
Does it have a screen? Is the screen on? Then no. You're ruining the experience of someone behind you.
The original comment that all of you are responding to was "I was sitting waiting for the parade when a little boy started to clim on me I asked him nicely to stop the dad yells at me not to tell his son to stop doing something that this was his vacation and they do not tell there kids no on vacation."
It was a vacation thing. It sucks and dad was making a poor choice, but the dad did say *on vacation*, not "always and forever."
Personally I might have thought it was fun to have a kid climb on me, but then I have 4 younger (3 much younger) sibs and was a babysitter from an early age, and I just really love kids. Even stranger kids.
At WDW we had an issue with activating our vouchers, bands did not work, went back to GS, she fixed it and we went back to the entrance to wait in line.
