Insanity taken to a new level

[PatchOBlack]

I have a feeling these are the same kind of people who would bring their lunches into a McDonald's, then ask for a cup for water only to fill it with soda.

On a simular note, once at D/L my sister and her kids were there and we met for dinner at the place on the end of mainstreet where they do the B day parties (cant remember the name right now) me and da kid were eating potroast and chicken, one of her picky kids had pasta, another wanted pizza and another burgers so she ran one to red rockets and the other to get a burger then came back and joined us (she also had chicken) I dont see a problem with bringing food from one of the other D/L restraunts when some of your group is eating there and a couple of people want something else. Is this acceptable?

Sounds like you all were eating at P I. Probably acceptable as most of your party was ordering food from P I. Purpura could answer this question best. DLR understands picky eaters. You could have done much worse.

There also there for the sg who books an early breakfast just so they can get into the park early and then don't go to the restuarant.

Plaza Inn allows guests that have gotten something at other restaurants and have joined other family members that are eating the meals they bought at Plaza Inn... Even I suggest if a family has a kid that wants a corn dog and the rest of the family want to eat at Plaza Inn they can go get the kid his/her corn dog, and then come back to eat at Plaza Inn.

While I'm not a fan of Guests taking up tables in a packed counter-service restaurant to the point where Guests who've bought food at that location don't have tables, I think there is definitely some kind of a middle-ground here, though.

Let's say it's a swelteringly-hot day, and you (or someone in your party) really, really needs to get out of the heat for a few minutes and just sit and rest in the A/C for fear of collapse/overheating. Where in the parks can you do that?

Apart from First Aid, there aren't a whole lot of places I can think of in the parks that are indoors and cooled, but aren't part of an attraction or eating establishment. Stores have A/C, but rarely places to sit down.

Thoughts?

Well I think outside coolers should not be allowed in the parks unless it is needed for a baby or medical issues. I really think it takes away from some of the “magic” when you see a family having a picnic on main street. There should be picnic areas (maybe even a few covered areas) out by the parking lot and they should have to go out there to eat or back to their hotel room. Don’t get me wrong I throw a few bottle waters fruit snacks, and healthy snacks in the backpack for the kids in case hunger strikes them while in line but if I have to carry around a cooler with sandwiches then I am not going to WDW.

You got that right!! I hate to carry anything at all in the parks.

Small World, Hall of Presidents, Haunted Mansion, Country Bear Jamboree, Stitches Great Escape (blech), Spaceship Earth, Ellen's Energy Adventure, Honey I Shrunk the Audience, The Living Seas (there are benches there), The Land, American Adventure, Sounds Dangerous, American Idol Show, Animation Building, It's Tough to Be a Bug, Finding Nemo Musical, and Festival of the Lion King. These are all attractions that give you more than a que and a couple of minutes of cool down time. You can't take attractions out of the mix when you are looking to cool off.

The benches after the DL Space Mountain exit are an excellent place to cool off and people watch.

MK, TTA is great. Nice breeze, sit down and relax! If it's not very busy, and you ask nicely, they'll let you stay on.

If we get too hot, we step into a shop. I find a vent that I can stand under while my wife shops. No need to take up a table just to rest our feet, unless it is virtually empty.
