I know DISsers will give it to me straight - was I wrong?

I don't think you were wrong at all.

you were very brave to face a buffet alone with 2 kids! LOL

I probably would have left my baby in the stroller and big sister at the table to look after things like a big girl while mommy got the food.

Not quite ready to do that. DD just turned 5 - I don't think she would have been comfortable watching DS and manning the table. The place was packed - she would not have been able to see me.

I would have sat my youngest next to him, then I would have sat across from him. Then I would have asked if he could help me feed my youngest

It was nice of the other people to give you room to each your meal with your daughter.

If you had gone to a CM, they would have also accomodated you.

My question is: If the CMs are watching the tables like hawks, why is it that no one offered this poor lady with a stroller and 2 young children a hand with the trays?

Honestly, I wondered this too since every single time I have gone thru the line at TS with the kids whether DH was with me or not I have had a CM offer to help me with the tray or get drinks for us.

They had offered to help me the day before, which I appreciated and took advantage of. I was actually looking for "my" servers, but they were in Parrot Cay that day. There were two CMs right next to me clearing dishes; they didn't offer to help.

Honestly, I was okay until the guy sat at my table. Harried, but okay. Then, it all happened so quickly, I didn't think to get a CM. I was trying to figure out where to go and how to get there. Luckily for me, that other couple intervened.

I agree. How rude was this man.

One descriptive word for that insensitive guy..."MORON"........

I guess male chivalry is gone!

Not necessarily. IN their defense, whenever I am out with my kids alone, most men go out of their way to be helpful by holding doors, giving up their seats and lifting baby strollers up stairs--especially when I've been pregnant. There are still good men out there. Don't let this guy ruin it.
