I don't want to be too negative or whiny, but I needed to get some feedback on this. I am going on my first no parents Disney trip with my husband in September. I am so excited, but I am geting nervous. After years of visiting the parks, at least once, I tend to get overwhelmed because of the things some people have said to me.
I LOVE Disney! I am a big chicken, so lines aren't a big problem for me. I do like the shows and parades. I've tended to shy away from them in recent years. Why? I've had unattended kids climb on/over my wheelchair and then stand between my foot rests, thus blocking me. Once or twice I've asked the child to move over, to meet disastrous results. (A guardian sought me out after a parade and proceeded to yell at me.)
I know I should brush it off, that I should let it go. In regular everyday life I do. But I think because it's Disney and I'm on vacation, and I really do think it is the Happiest Place on Earth, I tend to be so hurt and shocked that I generally sit there and the person continues to yell. I don't need to be given my own little space or anything, but do I try to flag down a CM? (Because I think it's also a safety thing, no young child should be alone in those kinds of crowds.)
I am pretty reasonable I think, if a kid is with another person with needs wants to sit in front of me or something and there's room, sure that's fine. But I just don't like people getting on top of me, or basically treating me like an obstacle to a better view, rather than a person. Would you ask a CM about it? Should I do so? Or is that sort of, out of their hands? Again, I am sorry for the negativity, I am just nervous, because I also worry some kid is going to hang on my chair and fall or split his head open.
