Does anyone else have a problem with the cost of food for children???

[TnKrBeLlA012]

LOL, youve been on here for along time you had to know people were gong to react this way!

You are correct. But this has gotten out of hand! I know now alot of people on this board thrive on something they can argue about. I personally would never waste this much time on something this stupid. I'm sure there is alot more serious crimes going on in the world then this.

Okay, how are our posts "wasting time" and yours aren't?
You were online when I went out last night, and still on when I came back two and a half hours later.
The fact that there are a lot more serious crimes going on in the world, does not make a small crime right.

I havent been to WDW yet so I dont know if they allow this or not but whenever I took my 3 year old out to eat I would just ask for an extra plate and give him a little bit off of everyone elses plate.Or you could order something like a side of fries and then take vegys and meat or whatever off of your plate to add to it.

my 10 and 11 year old have lost interest in eatting off of childrens menus long ago,it just doesnt have enough food for them.

 

[TnKrBeLlA012]

I think it's funny that you are trying to justify the fact that you lied in order to get food while at WDW. It's not like you NEEDED to lie in order to ensure that your child ate.

I may be opening myself for flames here (I can take it )but I'm not against all lieing/cheating.

For example if a family has to send their child to an awful school based on where they live, I would not have a problem with them lying about their address in order to send the child to a better school.

So lying to ensure that ones child receives a great education, I don't mind. Lying in order to enjoy a theme park, I think is crazy.

Well according to the Disney Board a lie is a lie. We should never lie! I think that is what I have been told from the last seven pages I've read. If you live in an awful area than maybe you should move. Why should the child suffer because the parent can't afford to live in a better area?? Lies are bad. Have we not learned anything from this post?? We start with one little lie and look where it goes. Lying to get yourself into a better school that MY tax dollars will have to pay. Shame,shame,shame!

You start a thread but we are "crazy" to respond.
You ask for opinions on a public message board but then ask us to "Please stop these crazy comments".
I explain to you that I have directly observed guests being escorted to security, yet you "laughed outloud".
You have five pages of posts telling you lying is wrong, yet you ignore that every time and rehash that "the price is high".
You pull statistics that you "bet" on out of thin air and expect us to change our morals.
You lie and say you don't care, but you brag about this on a public forum.
You are breaking DIS guidelines by advocating breaking WDW policies and rules yet you continue to act surprised that dozens of posters are offended by your actions.
You ask if we are "bored" or "like to fight" when it is you who posted seeking validation for your lies. You could not have expected people to agree with you and cheer you on "Good for you, lying in front of your child! Way to go" so perhaps that's a little projection - thinking other posters like to fight or are bored for posting, but you are posting for other reasons . . . interesting.
The fact that most people do not lie about their children's ages, does not make them saints, it makes them honest people. We are only as good as our word. So, no, I do not lie or cheat. As I said before, when people are accustomed to lying and cheating they suspect the same in everyone. It's not true. There are honest people out there.
Again, as I said earlier if you posted about high costs, people would have supported you. Instead you are bragging about your lie, which doesn't usually get support.

What a terrific reply LuluLovesDisney !

Of course it's a lie and it's wrong. If I were to do that, I wouldn't get upset for others calling it just what it is. A LIE

 

[adrock1976]

Regardless of the degree of any lie...it is a lie, and each person needs to deal with it in their own way. The real problem here with the OP is the clear contempt for everyone else opinion when she asked for it in the first place...you sure have done a lot of back-peddling once you got flack for what you said. You are judging everyone else on this thread as much as they are judging you. Maybe a little appology would help, but you don't sound like the type who is sorry for what they do.

 

[bicker]

Disneyjunkie makes a really important point: Rule #1: Don't lie. Rule #2: If you break Rule #1, at least be honest enough to admit that you did something wrong.

I have to sum this whole post up with two words. You people are a NUTS!

 

[Ms.Mouse]

We just came back from Disney. I cannot believe the price they want to charge for a three year old to eat. I refused to pay it and told them she was two. The amount of food she ate would take no profits away from Disney. I payed 29.00 and probably ate 10.00. I also think it is terrible what they charge for a ten year old to eat. An adult price?????? The price of food is out of hand. I don't care if you have money or don't. This is robbery! How many kids eat adult food anyway. Most would eat the food they give out for kids. Sorry but shame on Disney!

If you were so worried about the money aspect why didn't you use the dining plan??? You would have paid $10.99 for her instead of the price you did. You've made over 1,000 posts on this board so you well know about the savings you would have had!!!

Um... what?

You're really reaching for straws aren't you?

Oh and by the way "You people are a NUTS!" is more than 2 words

 

[patsal]

If you don't like your options or the price of those options don't spend your money there. If Disney was too expensive (parks or food venues) nothing would be so crowded--I'll bet you didn't see many empty tables. Buffets are not just for the food, you're paying for the "show" as well. Just because you don't like a rule does not make it right to circumvent the rule by lying.
I can buy a bag of lettuce in the store for $1.50, but the restaurant charges me $9.00 or mroe for half that amount of lettuce. If I don't want to pay I should stay home.

But then again, her daughter is more than 2 years old, too. Maybe the OP just has a "2" thing

You have wasted 11 posts. Not one thing you have said has changed my mind. Keep posting. I think you are enjoying this. Just a little side note . I just got off the phone with disney dinning. I talked to a lady and told her the situation with my daughter. That she was two when I booked it but is now three. "She" told me I would not worry about it. If it was a difference of a year that would be a concern. A couple months is not what they are concerned about. She also said don't loose an ounce of sleep over it. Now I feel so much better. She also laughed when I told her about security taking me out. Her advice was to stay away from the disboard and pose the questions and feedback to them. I think that is a great idea! I've cleared myself with Disney. Lulu, you can rest easier tonight. No crime was commited. THE END! I forgot about the question of using last years mugs this year? Is that also bad?? Seriously, THE END!

 

[Ms.Mouse]

I have to sum this whole post up with two words. You people are a NUTS! You would think I just robbed a bank. I would bank my life that everyone of you have told a lie. Not a lie that would kill someone or put them in jail but a lie. Would that give me the right to carry something so stupid this far. Are we bored or is it that most of you like to fight?? I'm thinking that is the case. She turned three in June. WOW!!!! When I booked it she was two. WOW! We should be so worried. I risked alot by putting this out here???? Again the word crazy comes to mind. Every person I told at work today laughed at the ridiculious comments that some of you made. Calling security? I almost laughed outloud. If I were to poll 50 people I would bet 40 would agree with me. 100%! Get a life!!! Not one of you are saints. Please stop these crazy comments. I personally think alot of you thrive on posts like this. As I stated in the beginning. The price of food for kids is expensive. I don't care if you can or cannot afford it. The price is high. Even some of the people that work there agree.

As I said in an earlier post, With over 1,000 posts, you'd know about the savings you'd have in the dining plan. It sounds like that's what would be best for you in March. As I'm reading this post,

You just asked, "Are we bored or is it that most of you like to fight?? I'm thinking that is the case."

I think you (with over 1,000 posts) knew that it was going to start a fight on this board!!!!! AND as I read your comments, I think you mean to stir the other posters up!!!!

AND, as I read your posts on this thread and a few others (as I did a little research).... I AM NOW IN BELIEF THAT YOU ARE ILL !!!!!!!!! and I don't mean physically!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you spent all of that time to call Disney Dining, you must have had a huge amount of guilt. No one is trying to change your mind, but when you flaunt your ignorance all over this board, people are bound to respond. I guarantee you have spent more money in wasted time and energy than you would have spent had you bought your 7, I mean, 3 year old a meal. Give me a break...isn't your own child worth a few bucks.

No.....I think you are the one enjoying this

My question is WHY???

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

I have just one question: Did your daughter hear you telling them she was 2?

Whether or not she heard you, you still lied, and I don't condone lying. HOWEVER, if she heard you, you have now just lied and taught your daughter a horrible lesson: it is okay to lie if it will help you.

You must have had some sense of remorse if you called Disney about this. My sister is a CM and she has witnessed people getting escorted out of the parks for trying to scam Disney. For the most part it is due to lying about ages. So, next time, tell the truth, and don't go to buffets if you can't justify the price. It's really just that simple.

Exactly what I was thinking! This is just too much ....
