Furthermore, he's been biking every Sunday for 5 miles in the Texas heat this summer with his dad. If he can do that he can handle Disney. Any 8 year old who doesn't have mobility issues who needs a stroller just needs more exercise when he or she isn't at Disney.

Well, Disney MAY do something in so much as they may "Limit" the size of the stroller as it (the very large ones) can be a hazard in the vehicle (be it monorail, bus, tram or ferry). Just like they banned Selfie Sticks as a hazard. Unlike selfie sticks, however, Strollers are a necessity for many (for whatever reason they use them). I do agree with you, however on the "Next Subject" part.
My 10year old daughter is 4 feet 2 inches. To me the height isn't the issue. Age really isn't the issue either. Everyone is different and has different needs and/or a different style of dealing with those needs. So what's good for one is not necessarily good for another. I personally don't care if a 15 year old is riding in a stroller as long as it's being done in a safe a courteous way. To EXPECT special privilege by virtue of having a stroller (or anything else) "Alone" is wrong. That said, I may give one person with a stroller a bit more courtesy than another depending upon my personal assessment of their situation at that moment. (so they look frazzled and I might let them in the line ahead of me, for example). I will always try to be polite to anyone if I can. I am not always successful because I am human after all, but at least that's my goal. After all, regardless of everything else, everyone there at WDW is there for a reason and I am pretty sure it's not to be miserable.My 8 year old son is 4 1/2 feet tall. I can't imagine him fitting in a stroller.
If I had asked to be pushed in a stroller at 6 years old my mother would STILL be laughing about it from beyond the grave.
I think you would miss out on more by going too fast than by going too slow. There's so much to see. You remember the experience as a whole, not the two minutes you spend on a ride.
Why can't I get everyone to conform to my standards without doing anything to change my own behavior? It's a travesty! I shouldn't have to be responsible for my own comfort! Who's running this place? I told you those talks with Cuba would come to NO good!

1) Is your group one of the Brazilian Tour Groups we see every year?
2) The inconsiderate ones that don't care about other WDW guests, and not even about their own group members?
3) I have not heard of a group that would disregard the kids in the group and just keep plowing along.
4) Sounds like the group would point itself at the next ride and move en-masse right toward it, and all else be darned.
That must be really difficult to keep such a big group together. I've been with a big group before, but we were in separate smaller groups. I certainly respect your effort.
Absolutely agree with this statement!
