War Stories...

Actually, I read this with shock and horror that people would do that to their kids for a couple reasons:

First of all, one of the reasons CM's (and by CM's, I mean those with the Cast Member mentality) don't talk about home life is that it makes people around them think about their own home life. If you're joking amongst your group about the money you're spending, that's one thing, but if other people can hear you, you get them thinking about their own, similar worries, and that disgusts me. And, of course, not keeping in mind that up until a certain age, kids don't get jokes like that.

Oy, if you're being an idiot by being at Disney World because you are living beyond your means to be there, don't blame Mickey, especially to your kids. They will have a Mickeyphobia the rest of their lives, and it's all your fault.

The guest experience is to me an almost sacred thing. I can't stand people that ruin it for others. A CM being told /she ruined someone's vacation by closing on time does not fall under these standards, but you know what I mean.

Well said, my fine pouched friend.

My husband loves the kids that throw food. If the food lands on our table he throws it back. :D:

My personal favorite is " eat it or wear it". My son knows that dad really does mean that he will wear the food he won't eat. Somewhere in the photo archives is a picture of him with a piece of summer squash hanging from his ear :) :D:

Hope they never take a dislike for potato cheese soup!! (hehehe)

Could you serve him some split pea soup?

As long as his head doesnt start spinning you are good to go.

Aw shucks... :D: :D:
I am going to sleep because I have an 8:45 shift tomorrow morning for 16 hours. But I apparently got stuck behind the manson family the other night while walking back to cast services.
Dad: We are losing our house because we gave mickey all of our money.
Mom: Yup Mickey is repossessing all of our stuff because we have no money...
(Both start to laugh while their two little girls burst into tears)
Daughter: (In between Sobs) I don't want Mickey to take our dog!
Dad: Oh that's ok he won't, he knows we will need something to eat.
(Children cry harder while parents laugh)
Mom: Yeah, Mickey is going to take all of our money and become a crack dealer...(Laughs)

I was about a second away from tapping the parents on the shoulder and saying "Excuse me, you're behavior is inappropriate and offensive to the guests around you. Please stop or I will be forced to call security"
But I didn't want to cause drama on my way out. But I was shocked and appalled by the parent's behavior.

I would have called security. This is the very definition of abuse of kids. These people should have CPS on them. If they joke like that at WDW, how do they treat these children at home? That is outrageous behavior, plain and simple. Someone needs to protect those kids from those parents.

I agree, among adults it would be a humourous conversation, but you MUST draw the line at saying that crap to kids. These are kids that are going to be traumatized adults if this is only ONE example of what these parents say to them while ON VACATION! What about at home. :(
