Why take your kids?

[MyLittleAngels]

I was at MK the other day, and was in line for the teacups. Ahead of me in line was a woman with her daughter (aged 5 or 6). She was on her callphone. The ride went two cycles, and she was still on her cell phone. She boarded while talking on her cell, then as the ride ran, she remained on her phone. Never once did she spin the cup. Her daughter just sat there, looking dejected. I wanted to go up to her and slap the phone from her hand. Would it have killed her to get off the phone and spin the cup a few times? What on earth did they go on ride for? I felt terrible for that poor kid. Why even take them there if you can't spend the time there with them?

Apparently the phone call was more important than her kids. The bigger question is,Why be in the park at all?

(do you get the feeling I hate cell-phones?)

I agree I HATE Cell phone drivers.

I carry a cell. I use it when I need. if I am driving I will NOT answer. When we went on vacation to WDW. we took our cells so that we could split up and still call to meet up. other then that, no calls.

Some people are born with a cell attached to their head.

The worst I saw was a friend of mine her father passed away, she asked me to go to the funeral with her. during the ENTIRE service, one of the guest was on the phone, even when that guest went up to view the casket. I was


Some people I swear.

She was probably telling all her friends about the great time her daughter was having.

If Disney Cast members had a magical remote control?

Hit 1 to make cell phone drop call.
Hit 2 to make Tea Cup spin out of control while the SG is on the cell phone.
Hit 3 to make a phone ring during a safety speil.
Hit 4 to make a water attraction soak the phone..... :D:

I see many people who feel it is okay to dump a small child off at the exit while they ride the ride. The child left alone is always too short to ride and between the ages of 2 and 7.
Yes, TWO! I refused to let the parents let their TWO year old wait alone at the exit. They were pissed when I made one of them wait with the tyke. "But we want to ride together!"
The nerve of some people. Why take your kids some place if you aare just gonna ditch 'em.

OMG someone wanted to leave a TWO year old!!!!!! Sometime I think people need to take a test before they are allowed to become parents.
Some guy did that at the pool the other day, On phone 2 girls maybe 4 and 6 went into pool alone. Younger girl wasn't a great swimmer and for the first time in six years a life gaurd had to go into the water to save her. Dad still on phone didn't even see it. Later older girl wanted to go off diving board dad walks over with her opps sorry kid phone ringing. Anyway that poor kid. I think disney should ban cell phones from the park.

"But we want to ride together!"

My husband and I didn't ride together for years. We have recently been able to, as my girls are getting a bit older (9,7,5). They know what behavior is allowed on rides, and they also know if they misbehave, the privilege of riding together will get revoked. Being a family of 5, we often get split into two vehicles/rows. The only ride I'm still not comfortable with them riding alone on is Peter Pan - while I'm sure they'd be fine (I know they would, really), I don't want to push it. I can't imagine the thought process of leaving a 2 year old just so you can ride ... I doubt mine would have even let me walk 10 ft away!

I'd love to order one of those illegal blockers (which can be gotten from overseas) and watch the cell phone jerks suddenly go slack jawed in confusion as their signal disappears. :twisted:

I refuse to ride the teacups with Mr. Syndrome as I would be puking. He took our nephew to MK and between the two of them I'm surprised they didn't spin that think off its base. I'm a wimp girl...Primeval Whirl spins more than enough for me.

In my my younger, more durable days I was just as sadistic tho'. Once we went to Wisconsin Dells with two of my nieces and were on a Tilt-A-Whirl. No one else was waiting in line, so the carny kept that sucker going. Three of us were having a blast, but one niece was turning green and ready to blow chunks. However, her screams for mercy were drowned out by our yells of "Keep it going! Keep it going!" When he finally stopped it and saw her, he felt so bad. I just it's kind of sad that my family has less compassion than a carny!

LOVED Tilt-A-Whirl the most of any rides as a kid. Flash-Forward to the day I
could finally take my kids on it........
