Re: Disney World, a pedophiles paradise
If I remember correctly, Penn & Teller did cite research that it's more of an increase in perception rather than a dramatic increase in actual cases. They had a woman on there who runs a website called Free Range Kids. She advocates independence to an extreme. I don't think I'd go that far...I t...

Re: Disney World, a pedophiles paradise
There is definitely an increased amount of paranoia. Penn & Tell did a segment on their "Bullshit" show about how statistically unlikely any particular child is to become a victim of kidnapped. The odds are much, much, much higher for getting in a car crash, yet parents don't stop driv...

Re: "Here stand there, I'll take the picture"
I like the point about "earning" your time with the characters, especially if you are smart enough to get there early. It's sort of like the old Southwest Airlines cattle call. I had no problem getting in line an hour early and earning myself an exit row seat. Once I had some guy plop his ...

Re: Stiffing the Wait Staff
What total and utter jerks. I agree that a big charge should be assessed. The title made me think of an unfortunate Ohana incident when Mr. Syndrome and I ate there with our neighbors. They were paying and we used our Tables in Wonderland card and said, "Just make the tip the same amount as the...

Re: Two tour buses collide at WDW...
We've been watching the coverage as it unfolds. Many prayers going out to the driver and the other injured people. Also to the Mears driver, as I can imagine she might be feeling upset about parking the bus there...no way she could have know what would happen, but still has to be hard.

Re: Missing the SGs
I think it's more common if you're walking somewhere in a big crowd, like trying to leave after the fireworks and the stroller commandos think they can make you go faster by running you down. Other than those times, I can't say it's really a big issue for me. And I do know how to prevent it, even at...

Re: Missing the SGs
I've come to enjoy some SGs in a roundabout way. Not the ankle-smackers, flashers, etc. that directly impact my enjoyment but the ones where I can simply witness their sheer stupidity and consider it yet another form of Disney entertainment.

Re: Called Security About T-Shirt
WTF was he thinking? Did he want to see if he could get away with it or was he just a brain dead idiot? Not that I don't like "inappropriate" t-shirts if they are funny. The Bender in my siggie is one of my shirts, and I also have one with a drawing of Rick James that says "I'm dead, ...
