Actually the lack of successful abductions should be attributed to the excellent CMs and watchful Security CMs who prevent a successful attempt and contribute to the overall security we all feel. Of course this does not mean that we, the guests, should leave all our security to the CMs. But when you add the CMs to our own personal efforts the result is no successful abductions at WDW.

Re: I'd like a kids meal for my....er, I thought you had him dear.
I tried the leashes, but son #2 kicked and screamed - so I have gone to plan #2. The strollers are your friend - my boys (5 and 6 now) are either holding a hand or in the stroller. At restrooms, my daughter (18) and I tag-team, so someone is watching the door while the other uses the restroom in the ladies' room. The family restrooms are the BEST - we're all contained in a locked room! When they were little, I would walk all the way to the Baby Care Centers so I could change them without worrying about the one not being changed running out the doors. I can't imagine anything worse than something happening to your children, so I am probably over-protective, but so be it. I have the boys wear POC dog tags with my cell phone number on them just in case somehow they go astray.

Just for the sake of the record, I did not witness the attempted abduction myself; another guest who was very upset about it told me in the ladies room, right after it happened. She was very shaken up and had just finished talking to security about it. So yeah at the end of the day I guess you'd have to call it 'hearsay'.
I wanted to post a warning too to parents about the 'family access' bathrooms.
On our last trip, my daughter and I were trying to get into the one at EPCOT by Canada right before Illuminations started. It is hard for me to deal with tiny 'regular' size stalls with my crutch and all and since I like to keep her close to me we usually just share the family bathroom.
Well, we waited and waited and waited for the 'occupied' sign to change. Nothing was happening. There are so few stalls in that particular location in the 'regular' ladies room (I think it's by a mcdonalds french fry stand?) the line was way long so we waited some more for the family room.
An angry lady comes up behind us and asks how long we've been waiting for the 'family bathroom' and I tell her at least 10 minutes. She marches up and bangs on the door! I was mortified thinking the person in there would be offended and think i did it since I was first in line so we backed away.
Well, turn my back and in a split second, the door flew open to the family bathroom. I am facing the other way, but I see the look on my daughter's face and wonder what's up.
In the meanwhile the woman who had been in line behind us rushes past and runs into the bathroom (she must have really needed it) but anyway, my daughter said "Huh. That's weird."
me: What's weird?
Daughter: Well, a lady came out of the bathroom but she wasn't alone.
Me: No?
Daughter: there was a man with her.
Me: You mean a man in a wheelchair, or was she in one? Someone who needed help to use the restroom?
Daughter; No, neither one was disabled. They just hurried off together, Mom , they were practically running.
I was FUMING.
I told a CM later that night that this is why major arenas have restroom attendants to let people into the family/handicapped access bathrooms with a key. People should NOT be tying up those facilities from those who need them when they need to just go back to their freaking hotel room if they're that. . .amorous. Besides, that behaviour is so out of line anywhere inside a disney park I just can't stand it. You'd get arrested anywhere else if you got caught- I hope Disney would do the same if they caught someone in the act.
You can't tell me they were simply using the facilities. Disney needs to post security near those restrooms especially after dark.
After that, it occurred to me how easy it would be for someone to pull anyone into one of those and commit a crime. I think that they need to really think about keeping surveillance on those facilities.

Bathroom Boffers! That is funny! LOL!
I am sorry you had to wait and it is nasty that people use the facilities for that, but how are they gonna stop them? They cannot put a camera IN the bathroom. I have a male friend with a condition that needs assistance. He is not in a chair, but needs help in the restroom and his girlfriend helps him. They do NOT use the restroom for any *funny business*, but someone might think that, if they saw the couple coming out of there. And it could not be further from the truth. He has said that people give him funny looks when they come out. But he truly needs the help. And it is nobody's business what is wrong with him.
So there are people who may use the family restroom and it may not look kosher to outsiders, but they have no idea that it is NOT what they think it is. The whole situation is at the disabilities board on another site. He asked about what he should do, because of the looks he and his girlfriend got.
Be careful about judging what those people MIGHT have been doing unless they really looked dishevelled and hot and sweaty! ;)

Couldn't they use the sink and paper towels to make themselves Un-dishevelled? (shevelled?)

But as fast as the two of them disappeared there is NO way that they were disabled. Impossible. They ran off.
Yes, they can prevent it. Do you think they let people go into those restrooms to have sex at say, a major ballpark? No way. I have seen it they have keys and let people in and out of handicapped access family bathrooms.
Do I expect Disney to park people outside every one they have? Unrealistic. But something surely can be done to try to prevent misuse of those facilities.
You know, I don't think I fit in here as well as I thought I did. I don't get the responses these days.
And people were all pissy with me for saying that if I feel like kissing my husband in the park, I'd do it. But people having sex in the handicapped accessible bathrooms is funny. Huh.
I must have just graduated from SGT poster to SG, or maybe my skin isn't thick enough to really belong here. This thread has hurt me in ways I can't explain and I wouldn't expect anyone to understand.
Peace ya'll. I wish you endless days at the parks free from SG's like me- a disabled guest who would like to use the disabled guest bathrooms in the park without having to wait for people to finish having sex.
Take care, everyone.
