They been battering people with strollers for decades. The worst was the dude with a kid on his shoulders while running with a kid in the stroller. Dodges in front of me, stops, turns, and yells to his family the direction to go.

This waddlebutt has not brakes and does not need some slob screaming in my face.

I have certainly plowed into enough people to make them think twice about just stopping in the middle of walking. And being that I walk with a purpose and have a lot of weight that I am pushing, I find myself apologizing for encroaching on peoples' personal space despite the fact it's their fault. I'm getting very good at dancing around people.

When I take days off in the parks, that's the only thing that people do on a consistent basis that really bugs me. Only thing I see consistently that bugs me more is when an entire family, taking up sixteen feet across on the path, do it, and I have nowhere to go but through, and I have enough momentum to bowl them over except that they have a stroller on the other side.

When I was at the parks this month I did daydream about renting one of those horrible blue plastic strollers (despite being childless) and just using it to actually get through the "stop right in front of the the attraction, open the map, hand Timmy the water bottle, give Susie money to buy an ice cream and have Dad yell at everyone" folks....

but I promise, when I was hit by the strollers I was not in the middle of a walkway.

Really :)

was trying to find a store that had Tigger croc shoe charms. (Found them on last day, yay! Also have Eeyore of course!)

Where do you think I got the Eeyore jibbitz? ;)

But thank you very much for the information -- it is not everybody who understands that everybody needs shoe charms. :D:

Morning
saving up for Disney Crocs in pink -- only saw the black ones in my size at the parks.

OK, now REALLY back to stupid dirty park stories .. really. I promise.

Hey guys! Sorry it has taken me so long to reply, but I started a new job right after I returned from WDW and it is taking a while to get adjusted to midnights! I re-read my first post and I am sorry- yes I had a few bad things happen, but now I can focus on the positives! We did have fun this year - we just happen to have a few runs of bad luck! Of course the 'magic' is still there and we are already planning next years trip. Maybe a DCruise? Anyway- as I said before the CMs were great! Jeff on the Great Movie Ride switched with another so he could be our guide (this is my DD fav), and let us sit in the 2nd row. We got to do the Cowboy (instead of Gangster). We had never done the cowboy and haven't since. My DD thought it was something Jeff did just for her!! The 'Cowboy' talked to my DD and made it very special..she says that was her fav thing ever! A CM on Rockin' Rollercoaster (w/f) walked my DD over to the unload ramp so me and DH could ride! DD had rode before...and rode after this..., but for some reason was having a complete meltdown about riding, so the CM saved the day...well.. moment(ha) and we all had fun!! I volunteered for the Pearl Harbor skit at the backlot tour- that was alot of fun!! My DD & DH thought it was funny! Great pics! The MLF used my DD joke I texted in and she was so excited to hear her name! My DD got 2 Tink pins from Dream Team.. very cool. So not all was bad... I was just disappointed in the way humans act nowadays. I try to be as nice and helpful when I go to WDW and I guess I stupidly think others do too. This year was our first with the DDP and wow, the food was sooo good!! My DH loved all the resturants we went to! (He's picky,too) I'm glad I can look back now with pleasant memories... Sorry if I tainted anyone's vision of WDW. I guess like someone posted... you get good weeks and bad ones...Next year, sign me up for a good one!! HA!
