We all have our own experiences and that`s ok
It has changed for sure over the last few years, in 2007 I don`t remember seeing a single stroller....there may well have been and we never noticed, and there were some kids around the age of 10 there, but not many.
We missed the last 2 years due to not being able to fly, but long term visitors to the event all said the same thing.......too many tweens/kids/toddlers and I include SA friends too saying the same thing. You`re indeed very lucky if you never came across them, it can be quite traumatic to see a toddler crying their eyes out because they`re terrified. We all enjoy the event and don`t want to see these things, but they are certainly unavoidable for the most part. When a SA feels they can`t give a scare because of a toddler, something is wrong. Some SA of course won`t give a rats patootie......that`s my kind of SA........
It`s simply not an event that should be aimed at tweens/kids....that`s what Disney down the road is for. And maybe this year they may just be going back to old school........
