Two stories from our trip back in January 2010 (My mission in life is to get back to the Disney Bubble)
Our first day in the parks we went to Magic Kingdom because my mom had scheduled dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table for all 12 of us to celebrate my oldest daughter turning 5 (Mom, Dad, Me, DH, Sister, Brother, Sister in law, Aunt, Niece age 6.5, Daughter turning 5, Nephew age 4.5, and Daughter age 2). My 2 year old daughter has a number of disabilities so we were using her stroller as a wheelchair. We had ordered a cake for my older daughter's birthday and had some left over so we placed it in the bottom of the stroller. That night was evening extra magic hours at Disney so we decided to stay. We went to get on the bus figuring that we would just have me hold the cake. The driver saw that we had a cake and mentioned that he would radio the next bus that there was a stroller that could not be folded. We loaded the stroller through the lift and removed our 2 year old and were seated near the rear door. As the bus got full DH noticed a mother trying to hold her small child that was under 3 while standing. We mentioned for her to take DH's seat and I moved my oldest onto my lap holding both girls. We were in the last forward facing seat (looking towards the front window) and there were 2 sideways facing (into the aisle) seats right behind us before the rear door. The little one being held by the other mom started crying and my youngest was getting restless and upset with being overly stimulated and was starting to show signs of I am going to loose it so I started to sing one of her favorites songs. "How you doing little one my little one...Show me a Sign (from Signing Time Volume 1 episode 1) and the other child quite crying. The lady sitting behind us turned to her friend and commented that people should not be having their children out this late. I turned to her and commented back that some of us were from other time zones so it was not that late for us and furthermore some of us also work night jobs so our children are used to being up late. It was about 11 pm but to us it was only 9 pm and my children thanks to their dad working nights didn't normally go to bed until 9:30 or 10 so that they would sleep later and not wake him up. I thought that the lady behind us was very rude making comments that people who have kids can't use evening extra magic hours. She likely wouldn't have approved of them using morning ones either because you have to get your child up earlier.
Our last day in the parks we were back at Magic Kingdom and had gone to Toon Town to the County Bounty to wait in line to meet Tinker Bell and her friends. Since we had a stroller as a wheel chair tag we had our 2 year old in her stroller. People behind us kept making comments how rude some people are and can't we read no strollers. I wanted to turn around and tell them be damn thankful that your child can walk without falling down, but my DH told me honey calm down (he has since learned to get a bit more defensive on fighting for our daughter). The next thing we know a cast member came up to us and asked us to come with. 5 year old started crying because she really wanted to meet Tinker Bell and was thinking she wouldn't get to. We get back to where the cast member was making sure people were not using a stroller unless it had a wheel chair use tag and I thought we are going to get the are you sure you can't just carry your child it's making other guest upset. The cast member told us that they had gotten a number of complaints about us having a stroller in the line so a supervisor would be there shortly. The supervisor showed up and told us that she was going to take us through a special entrance to meet the characters. We got to have time with Tinkerbell, Iridessa, and Terrence just our family and had a wonderful time. By the people behind us complaining about our stroller we had a much shorter wait as it was they were letting a Make A Wish Family in first and then we would get to go.
