Asking for id for a three year old

[leighe]

OP - I wouldn't worry about God if I were you. Apparently he's got plenty of people on this thread doing his job for him!

I, personally, would go ahead and buy my three year old a ticket. However, I'm not sure that I think "stealing" from Disney is any worse than posting some of the rude, hateful things that have been said on this thread.

Yes, I would actually do that. Disney sets the rules. If you don't like the rules then you don't go. There is no middle ground. You should absolutely send your money to a place where you and the recipient see eye to eye. If Disney misses your business then they will change their policies.

If you don't like the prices at a grocery store, you choose a different one to shop at. You don't try to walk out with half your items stuffed in your jacket pockets.

... but groceries are tangible, WDW isn't , so it really isn't stealing :wink: :wink:

Here is a crazy thought I had while reading these posts...how many of you who would not have your children lie (including myself!) would also buy the resorts mugs and bring them back on consequent years to use in the commisary to refill with soda. Disney allows you to buy a mug and get free refills for the year you go, but many take back their mugs.

Is this the same principle of ethics? I have seen probably hundreds of different year mugs in the commissary at disney resorts.

Sorry if I am steering this off topic....

I never lied about the kids ages and I never reuse mugs! I had over 21 Poly mugs at one point from previous trips. I finally gave some to DD to use in her sandbox and tossed the rest away. Also Disney lets you refill the mugs for the stay of your current trip. Those mugs are not good for a year but for one trip.

You are exactly right. I just can't believe some of the things I have read concerning this op's question. Yes lying & stealing is wrong, but so is being unbelieveably rude & hateful to people you don't even know. This OP was asking for opinions. I believe we can all do that and not go to the extreme that some on here have. I was involved with a discussion on here about ages at Pooh's Playful Spot. Some people didn't understand why their well behaved older children couldn't play with their younger children in this area. But there was never any incredibly rude comments like there are here. Some on here have said "I would never teach my child to lie." I hope that you would also not teach you child to be so judgmental and hurtful to others. I would hope that you could teach your child to understand that we all have different opinions and that's okay. I believe we have all told little white lies in our lives for one reason or another. I may not be proud of it but it's the truth. Unless you are an absolute perfect person please don't judge others. I don't believe any of us can say that we are perfect. Wrong is Wrong.

That said - if you want to do it, my best advice is to try to keep the kid from talking. Size won't distinguish a 2, 3 or 4 year old necessarily, but verbal ability will.


so if you are worried try to make sure you just go through quickly so CM won't talk to you or child..

--------------------

Keep the kid from talking? That is just too sad..

Nahhh. Forget about it, for what I see this can go and go and go and go with you, and for what, anyway at the end God is the final judge.

See ya!

Now this is something we can BOTH AGREE TO 1000%. BTW, I apologize if I'm considered one of the rude responder - I wasn’t trying to be - I just didn't like the way this post was going - WE (yes we) all have faults - and WE all do things we are NOT proud of - the OP wanted our thoughts - I'm sure she/he didn't want to be condoned. Again, I apologize about me going on and on about Santa. I hope the OP makes the right decision.

i think I should have explained myself more on the thread I first posted. I dont think it would make much difference to the people with the excellent moral values who will most liklely have all the child rearing books in their collection.

I am from the uk and at present it is expensive to travel to the US, The trip alone in costing £3.000 $5700 on top of this we are taking $3280. So I am only asking to save $300 on a pass for a child who will be 3yrs 2weeks old when we go.

Mybe I should cancel the trip upet my children and go to Spain and give Spain my money.

I also have a 11yr old and I will be paying adult price for him which in the UK he would still be classed as a child.

so you can afford almost 10,000 on a vacation but just cant spend the 300 on a ticket for your three year old and follow the rules

I don't know if you are purposely trying to make it worse for yourself or what - seriously $3280 is your spare change - and you can't spend $300 - are you serious? Are you trying to make people upset? I just can't believe that any person would state this and want sympathy. I just don't think you are serious, I think you are pulling our "legs" trying to incite arguments.

I have one question and a comment, first for the question-

Some posters are making comments about stealing, lying, teaching your kids do to the wrong thing-Do you follow the "rules" 100% of the time? I highly doubt it. Do you drive 60 when the speed limit is 55? Do you wear your seat belt 100% of the time. Have you never told a little white lie? I am not saying that if you have a kid that is well over 3, you shouldn't pay a ticket for them, however in my case my child is going to be 3 and 1 week. I have chosen not to purchase a ticket for him. Call it what you want.

My comment - if most people were as passionate about more serious issues, this world may just be a better place.

Get over it! I thought these boards were to be fun and educational. This is down right hateful. Thank god I leave in 4 days for my trip and will not have to visit these boards anymore. I'm done~

I agree!!! I think some people really over did it, on this thread and got out of hand!

Well of course you are annoyed. You are breaking the rules as well.
