Has anyone snuck there 3 year old in as a 2 year old?

[bicker]

BTW I got 23 private messages saying "do it I did"

Be glad that people of conscience don't flood the mailboxes of folks who advocate deception with objections. We're honest enough to discuss the issue in a public forum.

All this popcorn is making me thirsty, but after imheather's last post and scoolover's post, think I need to make more!!!

I'm taking for granted scoolover doesn't work in a parsonage.

I personally wouldn't do it, I'd feel guilty and it would bother me the entire vacation. We took my DS when he was 2yrs old,a month before his 3rd birthday and I still felt a little funny. But that's me. I know a lot of people bend the rules to suit themselves, but it does end up affecting everyone eventually. I think there are always consequences to what we do and sooner or later it's going to affect someone.

If your thirsty I'll lend you my Pop Century mug from 2 yrs ago and you can go to the GF and fill it up and share it with the rest of us.

We have always paid for our girls when they turned 3. Just like we'll suck it up in a couple of years when our oldest turns 9 and becomes an adult. Ouch! That's gonna hurt! But we love going to WDW, so we've gotta pay the price.

Nah, Page 5... not much longer until the immature folks start with the personal attacks. I like to scoot before that silliness starts.

When you "steal" from Disney (or anywhere else), the honest people end up having to pay the price. Why wouldn't you expect to be flamed for letting us all know that you're thinking of "stealing"? It affects us all. Stealing from them is like stealing from all of us. You just don't get it do you? People like you annoy me more than you'll possibly know.

As for whether I cheat, steal, lie, etc. No I wouldn't. I would never put shoes on my child to make them look taller. If they're not tall enough on their own, I would never risk their safety. As for the mugs at the resorts, I don't believe there are any rules stated about sharing. In fact, I would think they assume everyone probably does since they don't make you sit right there and drink it. And food is allowed in the parks. But if it wasn't, I wouldn't bring it in. It would probably grind me, but I still wouldn't do it. If it made me mad enough, I probably just wouldn't go.

Whatever you decide, I hope you're proud of yourself.

 

[goofie4goofy]

Just wondering how strict they are????

h

Also, Don't forget to bring a refillable mug, if you don't have one, borow one from somebody.

An extra bathing suit so you can pool hop

You can also get childs meals on the DP (a lot cheaper that way too)

Oh yeah and if you smoke....light em' up every where and anywhere

 

[SnwflkCts]

I just do not understand why people would care what I do???

If you feel wrong about doing it DONT but what do you care if I save a few bucks (only a few we are only going for 3 days)

Do you all follow all the rules

No food brought into the park

you really should not share a the mug with other family members

Is your kid really tall enough for that ride

I think people who get so mad at the post here need to get a life...

God does not like judmental people either we are both doomed

I DO CARE because doing this causes prices to go up for EVERYONE ... do I care ALOT ... not really. I just know I would never do it. If it is all about the $$, then I would wait until I had enough!

YES I follow all the rules!!! And I am flamed by my coworkers for following the rules. It's called LIVING IN SOCIETY!

No food brought into the park:Not at WDW and not at Kings Dominion and not at Hershey Park and not at Busch Gardens VA ... and I have gone with children too!

NO MUGS FOR ME!

Is your kid really tall enough for that ride: Safety Issue -- DEFINATE NO NO!

You KNEW you were going to get some flaming replies -- that's why you posted it. In your heart, you know what is right and wrong. Just as in life there are people that advocate going against the rules. Not illegal but against the rules -- leaving your cart anywhere in the grocery store lot isn't necessarily illegal nor is parking in front of a store to run in for just a moment. But collectively, doing the RIGHT THING adds up to a more pleasant world.

I just would rather follow the rules and not have to be sneaky in any way ... maybe I am just judgemental against myself ... since that is who I have to answer to on a daily basis ... and it wouldn't make me feel good to say "HEY I PULLED ONE OVER ON WDW BY ...."

PS - The way WDW could get around this is -- unless they are a babe in arms and not walking ONE STEP ... everyone pays .. that would take care of the 2 to 3 year old problem and probably not much impact on the bottom line!

I guess you really just wanted to know if people do it ... you already KNEW the answer to that just like if people fill up mugs at a different resort. (but not me ...) Oh well, off my soapbox ... back to more fun threads like my favorite restaurant or the scariest ride ....

This ain't about God, it's about following the rules. If it is only a "few" bucks then pay up like the rest of us do. If you can afford to go, then you can afford to pay the "few bucks" difference. Find another way to save money, an honest way.

There are age restrictions, it is not pay one price for all. A lie is a lie and stealing is stealing. If you have to lie about a child's age and ask about it, I thhink you already know your answer. If not: it's wrong.

It's not a debatable subject, it is a rule that applies to all and in black and white...no grey area.

My DS recently went with his 2 college co eds to DL. He is very small, autistic and thinks 2 is 9, every number is 9. I thought about not paying but the fact is he is 3 and although I could get away with it, I want to do what is right.

I did think about not paying, I really did but in the end, I am tired of trying to cut corners by not doing what is right. That is just me.

Pass the popcorn please, and here come flames to me for thinking about not paying.

Ummmmm.....believe that started a while ago.

And then we all go pool hopping at the Poly!

No flames from me...I thought about doing it too! But if I had to lie to save $, then I shouldn't be stretching the budget as it is, to get a trip to WDW in the first place.

As I posted on page 2, my TEENY dd2 was questioned last year at the gate several times at several different parks, while she was in a stroller. Good thing she always told them how many days till her birthday, when she would be THREE! And alsol luckily, we had a copy of her birth certificate with us. They COULD make you buy a ticket, and get reimbursed once you have proof.

I guess my question is what message does it send to your kids? If you are willing to cheat and lie then they will think it is OK to do the same thing.

Yep! And then, how do you reprimand them for lying or cheating if they see you doing it to save a few bucks?

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

I'm not trying to be judgemental or anything but I wouldn't do it. To ensure the lie, you're going to have to tell your kid to lie for you if asked. As far as telling the truth if asked, are you really going to risk trying at the gate at opening, then if caught tell the truth and stand about 30 minutes buying the kid's ticket? And if there is one universal rule of human behavior it is this. If you have a kid lie for you, they will also lie to you. And why wouldn't they? You just taught em it's ok to lie when it's of benefit to them. It will come back to bite you in the rump as a parent.

 

[Va-bear]

I would not ask my son to lie but I was thinking of just
trying to sneak him in, if they ask me how old he is I would tell the truth.
I do know it is the wrong thing, but it is also wrong how Disney charges so much for children and how they nickle and dime you to death over everything.

I've never felt compelled to answer one of these "lying" type threads before, but COME ON!!! YOu just said you wouldn't ask your child to lie - yet, you would show him how to lie by sneaking in?? A lie is not always words - it can be actions - you WILL want to teach him that when he's a teenager. (Just as omission is a form of a lie..)

Teach your child to STAND UP for what he believes, no matter what. _IF_ you indeed belive it is "wrong" for Disney to charge so much, dont go. Stand up for what you believe in!! And if 23 other people telling you they did it works for you..... well, such a shame.....
