The dumbest thing you have ever seen a guest do!

Not to mention ... Strep, Meningitis..... yuck....
I think this wins the ticket. Plus that water is clorinated too. Right?

There is nothing yucky about the Natural Selection Process. When looked at correctly, it's a beautiful thing that makes the world a nicer place for the rest of us.

A little off topic here, but since it has been mentioned a few times...
About kids on tethers...

I personally dislike them. My best friend swears her young son (who is autistic) cannot do without it, he freaks out and runs off at the first thing that catches his attention. I have never had a kid in one and when we all went to Marineland one day last year. Her and her 4 children and us and our 2. She asked me if I could walk the child on the tether since he asked to walk with me.

I told her the only way I would keep him in our group was if he didn't have to wear the tether, she agreed. I pulled him aside, told him the importance of keeping together, and let him know that if there was something he wanted to see to let us know and we would take him there.

This child stayed with us the entire time, and beside a small freakout at wanting to be seated in car #4 for a ride (he is obssesed with the number 4). The ride wasn't busy AT ALL and for some reason, the ride attendant didn't let him ride in car 4. :( It took a little while to settle him down after that, but besides that the day went without a hitch.

Back on topic... I hate it when people let their kids climb all over things at parks (usually on the other side of ropes and fences) that may cause a fall and get themselves hurt... the parents are usually so into their grown up conversation they don't realize what the kids are doing.

My son with autism never had a problem once with a line at Disneyland, except impatience for the line to get IN. He knew he was going to have LOTS of fun by waiting, I guess. Maybe This child of your friend's found a lot of Happiness there :)
Much better than the real world! ;)

Hush now as that is how Universal and Knotts gets their monsters for Halloween, plus how DLR gets rid of the SGS.

Tethers are not as good as the harness as kids can yank on their arm and get hurt. I am all for harnesses to keep kids from running out into the street.

Tether and harness are the same thing, either one ties the child to the parent.

Don't they talk about that at the new Velcro show at Innoventions? Velcro your kids together for easier organization and supervision?

It's something I can see them saying. It seems like every time I go to that show, I get pulled on-stage. I've gotten the same game both times. The "joys" of knowing one of the actors ;)

with a lot of velcro and some leashes you could have quite a system.

I was helping out Br'er Rabbit when a family with a teenage son and daughter came up. Behind them was a father with his 5 year old daughter. I knew they were "those" guests when the first question they asked was "are you smiling in there?" (Br'er Rabbit's first thought was, "Well, I was until you came up to me). They then proceeded to ask about air conditioning, etc. God bless my attendant, she did the whole "Don't you see the smile on Br'er Rabbit's face?" When the mother started to talk about the person "inside the costume" she insisted it was Br'er Rabbit. Did that clue them in? Of course not!

While setting up for the picture, the teenaged daughter reached over, grabbed Br'er Rabbit's shirt, and lifted it up! Br'er Rabbit went to his attendant and tried to "tell" her what happened so she could talk to the girl, and the mom kept yelling things out like, "Oh! You want to look up her shirt?" Finally, he had to whisper to his attendant what happened. The mom said, "oo, I want to know." The attendant told the girl she could not lift up the characters' shirts. Then the mom said, "Oh, that's what she did," and proceeded to lift up her 15 year old daughter's shirt exposing the girl's bra to the entire line! I felt horrible for the father with his little five year old daughter behind them, witnessing this whole scene play out.

Wow...just wow. I hate people who are like that, who say things that can ruin the magic for others.

Also...what was up with the mom pulling up her daughter's shirt? That is just wrong!

[danmedix]

aw great... teaching kids to do the WRONG thing at an early age....

later on in life, we're gonna have to put up something else for these folks when they become of age....SG'S GONE WILD??

[disneyprincess1988]

oh god, that whole B'rer Rabbit thing is horrid and disgusting. I mean, I would never ever act like that around any of the characters. I enjoy meeting them for pictures and autographs, not to fondle them or abuse them. Good grief, what is the world coming to?
