Scary Regulars

do you remember the DLR fat lady with a plushie in a three wheeled stroller?

Sounds something like the towel couple. But her baby is the plushie. Both sorts still seem off the wall. But I think I'd be more understanding and sympathetic to a women with a plushie than a couple with a towel baby.

However this person could be perfectly sane.
I heard of a women who carried a teddy bear in a baby sling when she travels. She does the whole "traveling gnome" bit with it, posing and dressing it in various landmarks. Even has a passport for it. I don't remember if she posts the pics online or sends them to an elementary classroom. But it's a cute idea.

DW used to make and sew teddy bears for fun, using metal joints for arms etc.

She made a small one, then made a jacket and hat for him, and we took him to Alaska with us, getting him in a lot of our pictures!

But we didn't TALK to him, well, not without RUM!!!

hehehehehe

I worked with a man who would bring his teddy to work. When he did a stint in DL Tokyo, some of his fellow CMs took a picture with a banner that said, "Come Home Soon Teddy!"

I have a stuffed rabbit that I have had since I was five, it's very sentimental. My mom wanted me to get pictures of her in the park for fun, but I flat out refused because I was terrified something would happen to her. However, I can totally see doing a flat Stanley type of thing with a stuffed animal, that would be a really cool teaching tool. I would not get a stroller for it though.

the stroller was to hold pin bags and lunch lol. There is a rule about luggage so the pin traders would rent, bring or steal from other guests a stroller, lol. The fat lady was first then others started carrying plushies for trading with kids.

Wow I thought this was a bicoastal site, whodathunk, lol.

Did you tell her that by law we cannot have more than two guests using wheelchairs on the ride at a time, and that this is for her safety?

I did tell her that when I was being sincerely nice about it...before I pointed out in a nicely not so nice (if that makes sense) way about making her wait and hour and a half for the ride. I'm honestly surprised that she didn't try to eat my head off when I said that. GSMs backed me up once she decided that she was "fed up" dealing with me. The stupid thing is that if she had just waited her turn without deciding to open her trap, she would have been on and off in minutes. Also, since she insisted on waiting for the GSM before riding, people that were behind her went and left with no problem (and a few well-appreciated comments on my behalf)

I've never brought a toy into the parks, but one day I donned Stitch ears while Mr. Syndrome donned a monorail hat and we had our pics. taken at all the attractions where they take 'em while you're riding. We had been given a photo collage frame as a gift, so we filled it with all our pics. from that day. It was fun in a very juvenile sort of way, but going to WDW is the perfect time for old farts to be juvenile!

I truly believe the parks should a 35 and over only day every couple of weeks.

That would be a logical response if you were dealing with a logical person. That does not seem to be the case here. You could explain until you were blue in the face and it wouldn't matter to someone that just likes to be abrasive. Sadly, there are many like her out there.

We took Widdle Wallaby and Mini Meghyn to the Navy base yesterday and they posed for pictures in various locations inside the National Museum of Naval Aviation. We got a lot of strange looks, especially from the cami-wearing Marines who were holding a rehearsal for a retirement ceremony. :D:

You should have asked the Marines to take them through the confidence course.
