Do a lot of people give their kids bubbles

[Tracie]

I have never seen so many people in one place allergic to soap,smoke,germ x and lysol (for those of us that spray lysol in our room before someone else has checked in ) ...ect ect ect...and all on ONE disney forum...go figure.

I KNOW!

Your kids can blow all the bubbles they want on me, if it will keep them from smacking me with the chains in the lines!

 

[Snape]

awwww, did somebody loose their little sense of humor? buckle up your knee pads...

No I didn't "loose" my sense of humor, nor did I "lose" my sense of humor digitboy. And why on earth would I need kneepads?

No I didn't "loose" my sense of humor, nor did I "lose" my sense of humor digitboy.(c'mon, surely you can come up with better than that)

impressive

impressive

I know I am and thank you for the compliment. You don't need remind me though, my ego is already inflated enough.

I've never seen knee pads that buckle...it's all velcro, baby!

Seriously, I think you two will be BFFs in no time... It's getting a little warm and fuzzy here. The bubbles brought you together.

I've never seen knee pads that buckle...it's all velcro, baby! old school pads had buckles...

It's not so much the bubbles themselves that would bother me, it's the kids' reaction to them. I have yet to see a small child politely stand and watch bubbles fly through the air. They have to jump up and down and run around and flail their arms to catch them. That would be very annoying in line!

I haven't really seen anyone blowing bubbles. It wouldn't bother me, unless the child was blowing them directly at me, or if the spilled the bubbles on me.

To entertain DS when he was younger, I would let him draw. He loves to draw. I would carry a small notebook (Disney themed, or whatever he was into at the time) and a pencil or a couple of crayons.

Not if you popped them first.

It's just such an odd thing. I've never heard of anyone bringing bubbles along to entertain their children.

First pages of back and forth regarding organic milk and now BUBBLES! What's next filtered water. Honestly I could care less about bubbles. If you keep your kid quiet and don't bother anyone else go for it. Like anything else in life if you blow bubbles/smoke/spit in someones face they may just punch you.

 

[tinkrebell]

the more I read, the more I keep getting excited I'm not having kids =D I get to wander around and drink and blow bubbles into my SODA with no one able to tell me BOO!

Of course, I just got a job as a nanny to two Disney-obsessed little girls. . . I'll report back after my trip around strangers & "snowflakes" (Snape, I agree, *gag*) and a year of fake-mommy to see how I like bubbles as a 'parent' then. . . .

you are 6 inches from someone almost all the time at wdw...do you think wdw sells them to take home? no of course not.maybe the people near us could show some consideration for us and take care of that B.O.! or MAYBE wait to put down and yell at their poor husband for buying them a sm coke when you wanted a large one (and fries) until you get back to the room cause I dont want to hear it...it makes my ears hurt COME ON there are sooo many pool hopping, mug refilling you should be watching instead of getting mad at little ones for HAVING FUN at wdw! why bother going on vacation to wdw if you are going to always find something to complain about? It does not sound like your having enough fun.

Actually I have great fun at WDW. I even had fun watching a bunch of high school students wage a sword fight at Epcot one night. I watched FROM A DISTANCE. They were not right next to me, and I wasn't stuck in line, so if they came too close, I could move away from them. Unlike if we had been in line together.

Little kids having fun is not a problem. The problem is when the parents think whatever the kids do is ok, either because they think it is cute, or because it keeps the kids from bothering them!

I'm still trying to figure out the need for knee-pads. The first thing that pops into my head, well is very ***** like!

And why the need for stuff to entertain kids in line? Have you ever been in line at Disney? They have a ton of stuff to look at. DD at 24 months needed nothing else than, "oh look at that!" and some Cheerios. If kids aren't taught to behave, then they won't. You shouldn't have to entertain them every step of the way.

I sure do wish people visiting the parks would use more deoderant. Having to stand in such close proximity with smelly people who can't apply it properly before they leave their resort infringes on my right as a paying Disney park guest. Plus, I'm allergic to body odor. It makes my nose hurt, I start coughing, and then I may or may not vomit in the bushes.

Well you can always cry and then laugh about it.

my kids learned from a early age not to touch those nasty chains and hand rails lol no worries...also I will add I would never let my dd4 blow her bubble gun in the line but walking around in the open...you are fair game.If I can be hit with your mist fan you can deal with my bubbles.

I will try to be constructive here. This little item saved us in line several times. We were with a 2 yo. BTW, the only time I have seen bubbles at WDW was when CMs were blowing them, and one time at Spectro when the vendors were selling bubble guns.

8 pages of comments on bubbles. It's like Christmas! I looooove bubbles and like bringing the little party sized ones in our backpack to blow while waiting.

Is there a maximum number of times the word "blow" can be said in a thread? If so, we're just about there.

Please don't give your bubbles to the Duggars!

What I want to know when I read these "entertaining kids in line" themed threads is - why are you waiting in line for 45 minutes in the first place? We been a ton of times and rarely wait more than 10-15 minutes for anything with the exception of lining up for parades or fireworks, and a few shows like Fantasmic.

Waiting in line for 45 minutes for a ride is entirely unnecessary. Do some research, have a plan and waits are not part of the picture at all (and I have been over crazy Christmas/New Year's time and still never waited more than 15 minutes for anything).

We never wait that long in line either. I hate waiting so I can only imagine my little ones. If it means we miss a ride so be it. I am not waiting that long and torturing myself.

Also who has room to carry all this stuff to entertain them? My stuff is already packed with other stuff.

WDW sells the bubble guns so bubbles are allowed in the park - PERIOD. I'd like to see a CM try to be the bubble police (which I doubt they would even consider it) since WDW actually encourages the behavior by selling the bubble items. You people need to get off your high horses and deal with it. The people who are so anti-bubble are most likely the same type of people who would walk through a designated smoking area hacking and coughing and complaining (no I'm not a smoker). You aren't special or better so get over yourselves and let kids be kids in a place whose very reason for existence is to have fun. If you're truly that fragile - seek professional help.
