Agree. Some judgmental SOBs. I think many who bring young children have other children who may be a bit older (and do not want to "punish" that child just because he/she may have a younger sibling). Regardless, why does it bother anyone?

It only bothers me when I have to hear their fanatical stories about the trips, usually more than once.

One of the couples will use any excuse in a conversation to bring up the topic. I could walk into the room holding a mouse that a cat killed and it would immediately turn into a story about "Mickey's House".

First trip my son was 14 months. He had fun, but nothing special. We weren't there for him, we brought people to help watch him, and he was free.

He was about to turn 3 when we went last year for Wine and Dine. That was awesome.

He'll be 4 when we go this January for Dopey. We're all looking forward to it.

You know no one is making you talk to those people.

Why does it bother you that it bothers other people?

We had a good bit of rain, but we had ponchos so it was fine. Heat wasn't too bad. Worth it to not be as busy as it can be.


Did you know those ponchos are replaceable...?

If they rip, you can exchange them at any store for a new one...

We borrowed some from some friends, but when they used them last, they didn't let them dry out all the way when they put them up and they stunk like shite..

So we brought them to one of the stores and they replaced them...

My wife would argue that. They're her friends. Every damn time she tells me they're coming over, I know exactly what is going to happen. I've been rude about it on a couple of occasions....Just immediately got up and left the room.

Yeh, I am sure I have "hobbies" or interests that neither one of them are interested in at all and I am decent enough not to bore them with discussions about it every time we are together.

Crowd calendars are your friend in this situation. We went for Halloween a couple of years ago and walked onto every ride.

2. its your money and by all means spend as you may, but what’s with bringing babies and 1/2 year olds? I saw hundreds of women and men with strollers and month old babies strapped to their chests. It was 90 degrees and you’re on your feet all day spending a ton of money. Why bring a baby or infant? Curious of the rationale behind that.


Not reading thru 9 pages, but kids under 3 are free. Great motivation for me to bring my 2yo considering she wanted to take pictures with all of the characters.

We are taking the kids, 3 1/2 and 5 1/2, in February. Will be our first time. Going for three days. Kinda dreading it, but I know the kids will have fun.

Several years ago when Rascals had just gotten to Disney World was about the same time that Disney started selling those big turkey legs. About 1 in 10 people looked like this:

But bigger and fatter.

Oddly enough it was about the time that Wall-E came out, so I almost thought Disney did it on purpose to make Disney World look like this:

I have done it with my son and daughter and will do it again for my other son. Sure they will not remember much if any but the shear joy on their faces when they see their favorite characters is priceless. It may not mean a lot when they don't remember it later on but for them at that time of their life, it means everything. As a parent I swore to do whatever I could to give my kids as many happy moments in life as I could and will continue to do so.

This isn’t true anymore. Disney has learned to fill the dead space with marathons, conferences, cheer/dance competitions, etc. Then, when they know it’s a slow vavction time in the US they offer crazy discounts to the UK or South America. Disney is always packed now. All you have to do is a few hours of planning, book the fast passes and when you’re in the park don’t stop trying to get fast passes. They almost always open up. My family hasn’t waited in a line in years.

I'll simply never understand people who take children under 4 to Disney


I once did when my youngest daughter was only 1 but not because we wanted to take her so much as her 2 older sisters who were 10 and 5. Just couldnt keep putting it off.

WTF doesnt Magic Kingdom sell beer? You want me to be happy in the happiest place on earth???? Then sell fricking beer


Busch Gardens gives you 2 free beers per ticket purchased for each person over 21. They also have much better rides and the African wildlife is badass. I held a cub tiger there once.

frick Disney world. Overrated
