I see both side of this argument, which is why I typically don't get too involved in the discussions. I agree that once I had kids I realized that I wasn't able to do many of the things I used to take for granted. In fact, we haven't gone back to Hershey Park, Cedar Point, or Kennywood since we had kids because i don't want to see all of those big fun coasters and not be able to ride them since the kids can't, and I won't make them just sit around all day waiting while we ride the big rides. However, for some reason at Disney I don't want to have to miss all of the headliners since I have kids under 44 (or 40 or 48)". I'm not sure why the distinction - maybe because Disney is such a big trip - tons of planning, huge expense, long trip, etc and those other parks are one day with maybe an overnight stay or 2 to make it a weekend. Maybe because Disney is considered more of a family park. I don't know why, but it seems like in every other aspect of life I will "sacrifice" my own fun, dessert, seat, etc for my kids (mostly) gladly, but when we go to Disney I want to hit both the fun rides even lap babies can ride as well as the headliners - and IMO those headliners require FPs. We aren't willing to wait more than say 30 min for any ride, and haven't done RD since our second child. I do, however, know it's a choice and I could make all FPs for rides even the babies could ride. Since our upcoming trip is long we have some days we do have 3 FPs for rides we can all ride, and other days we either have a sitter for the babies or will utilize RS. It felt weird making FPs for IASW, Dumbo, and LM during this trip, like I should be trying for harder to get ones (we do have those on other days...). I guess what I'm saying is that for some reason I feel that at Disney, it doesn't seem right for one parent to have to sacrifice the big rides when they have a kid under 40". I'm not saying Disney has to care, it just feels that way to me, and I'm glad there is (or maybe was) a way for them to avoid this.
