When it's holiday time again, I'm going to take a picture just before the parade by Small World. Truly a deeply frightening sight to see the entire hill to Toontown completely covered in strollers twelve deep.

That model has been banned. Too many guest injuries from it. There are photos of the offending models in the turnstile break rooms so folks will keep them in mind.
Hey Zazu, Is there a stroller smiley?
Do you mean like this one? :stroller: I'm still searching for one showing a stroller assault.

Have a picture of that kind of stroller, Zazu? The only ones I know of at WDW are the kind they have now that seem to have a built-in ankle seeking device.

Why do adults and persons over the age to 6 use strollers as seats. Are strollers really toys?

I never could understand the need to abuse and destroy the strollers.

When we push our stroller in the parks we try and look out for other guests the best we can, but we have use our stroller (usually the rental) to get people to move out of our way, but that's only after we're stuck behind a large family that insists on walking side by side and mosey down the walk way.

x2. there are times when you can only do so much to be nice. then you have to become a SG yourself to get around the REALLY STUPID GUEST.



note: I am not calling YOU a SG. ;)

I got trapped in AK when people crowded around my ECV and I was against a wall. They wanted to see the animals while leaning on me.

What is it with guests who stop and have a powwow in the middle of traffic? The sidewalk is wide enough for 2 or 3 people so why are all of you stopping on the sidewalk so that wheeled vehicles have to jump the curb to get around you. I think that my ECV will have an cow catcher on front of it.

I got in trouble for snapping at one dude. He ran ahead of his family and cut right in front of me as I was waddling along. This was on the wharf at DCA and there was nobody around and plenty of room. He stops and I screach to halt, I was walking at the time. He turns around and screams in my face for his family to catch up to hiim. Was I supposed to smile while I have a guy make me stop fast and hard then scream in my face? For some reason there are people who like to run ahead of their group then stop and scream at them to hurry up and/or give them directions.

Speaking of the hated strollers & their handlers...Fri. I was ringing & the guest said he was an AP. Ok, no big deal. "Please show me your AP Premium card." He pulls out an AP with a large PS on the back. :confused: I'd never seen this type Premium "P" card. Turns out for $10.00 extra per yr. guests can buy "PS" cards. PS =s Premium Stroller AP. Why was I so surprised? :rolleyes:
