What would like to banned at Disney world?

Also, tall people.

So what about twin 1 year olds. They should be forced to use 2 separate strollers but it's ok for someone to use a bariatric electric chair. Not all one year olds can walk. No one mentioned 5-9 year olds. They just said double strollers. Hope no one has a problem with my jogging stroller on a bus/monorail.

I said school aged kids. I'm pretty sure there aren't any one year olds enrolled in your local elementary schools.

Not all double strolled are huge.

That is very offensive

The world is full of things that "offend" people. We should learn to deal a bit better. I'm sorry that I have this unpopular opinion but my health insurance premiums are through the roof now.

Pregnant people add a lot to my health insurance premium. Plus they don't walk that fast. I say lets ban pregnant women from the parks.

Not worth the points, and not sure how that relates to things that should be banned at Disney World.

I know from the tone of your posts that it is not worth commenting on things you say but where in the world did you find such a thing as a bariatric electric chair? I hope that is not your version of an electric chair where you you put to death anyone suffering from bariatric issues. If you have decided to coin this term to be mean and small minded to those using an ECV, how do you differentiate between a "bariatric" electric chair and one used for arthritis, ms, circulatory issues, etc.? You must live in your own tidy, healthy world. The older I get the more I wish I had that option.

Ticket/parking price increases
seasonal rates on rooms
and the new fad of "premium" everything for an extra fee~from viewing fireworks to special extras at seasonal parties etc

not a fan of FP+ but I can deal with just about anything but being priced right out of going anymore

Google can be your best friend. A bariatric chair is a lot wider than a normal chair. No idea why they call it bariatric but that is what we used to call it in the hospital. They are huge. You can fit 2 normal people in them. I see them in Disney a lot.

Look at the size of this thing!!

Yes x 1000 to the "premium everything" being banned. Seems everything has a premium option nowadays

I would also like to ban negative people that only want the park filled with people that fit their ideal body type.

What problem does everyone have with strollers? It is disney which is a kid place. What is the difference between the double stollers and those bariatric electric wheelchairs. Have not heard anyone mention those on here which is as wide if not wider than a double stroller, takes up more room on a bus and are more dangerous (idiot drivers). Last time I was at the parks, someone was using one of these but with a dual seat (extra wide)

I've never notice a scooter like the one you linked in the parks. Not saying there's never been one but they certainly aren't as common as giant strollers. On the buses, scooters are tied down. Those giant strollers are not. I've seen the people holding them fall, the strollers crashing into people on the bus and items like full drink bottles fall out of them and go flying down the bus aisle. Plus they take up so much space in the middle of the bus that people have to climb over them, that's not safe if there's some type of emergency on the bus.

Disney is many things, including a kids' place but many time those giant strollers are more about the parents than the kids.

Edited to add:
With the type of scooters you linked, someone would likely have a medical need.

I thought you were supposed to fold up the strollers on the bus? On our last stay, I don't recall the problems you're mentioning. We always folded our stroller up on the transport, with the exception of the nearly empty monorail, as i recall.

I saw that scooter at the parks back in March but it was very wide. The problem with those things is that they don't fit through a lot of doors or isles. Restaurants are too tight for them. They certainly don't fit on rides.

We went with my sister in law back in March who at the time had twin 14 month olds and she had a double stroller. It's a lot easier handing one of those than 2 separate strollers. She uses a bob double jogging stroller.

You are supposed to fold them. Many of them only partially fold. Also they are often so big that even folded they are bulky and awkward to carry.

I looked at your link and still did not see any reference to the term bariatric. I did see a note about adjustments for an amputee. I agree with the previous poster that someone in a mobility device like that would have a medical need.

Looks like the Dis is going to have ban strollers like they did politics and religion!

Those that defend the use of strollers for older kids can do so all day long in the name of disabilities. I am sure there are some older kids in them that do have disabilities but to act as though they all do is not realistic. The PP is right, you can read it on the dis every single day. Besides, I know from first hand experience. We rented a double stroller for dd when she was 7. It held her and the backpack quite nicely. Now, in my defense, you would have not known she was 7 as she was very small, more like a 5 year old. But it wasn't a disability it was a "this is easier. she won't get so tired and I feel better knowing we won't lose her!"

When my sons were young and we all went with my mom and dad, we rented one for them too. They were 7 and 5. Worked pretty well for younger ds (had a tendency to wander off) until my Dad started looking at something, turned around and there was ds with his feet out of the stroller pushing off on the ground and headed down the hill! My dad was quite the sight, high tailing it down the road chasing a stroller.

Ok, back to the debate.

Those Bob double jogging strollers are mentioned here often. The problem is, depending on the model, there's a good chance its actually too big if you go by the size restrictions set by Disney. Of course nobody seems to actually care about that.

It has been a long time since we used strollers but I find the concept of someone jogging behind one of those big strollers as much more offensive than just the size. Talk about being a danger in a crowded area.

 

[delyrium]

They're referred to as jogging strollers because they have the big locking front wheel, which is good for jogging. I can't imagine anyone being able to actually jog with one at Disney. I would not want to negotiate any of the parks with a double stroller to be quite honest, but I do see their value.

Yep, because personal responsibility would be just too much wouldn't it?

You do realize that one vacation of meals is not going to cause ANY of that, right?
