Sounds like a family that is in need of some very intense therapy!!!

And I'm thinking, if the 8 year old was so frightened by Mickey and the bears, then the Pirates of the Caribbean movie is definitely out! LOL


Some people wouldn't know how to have fun no matter where they are!

I love the way the PR rep managed to squeeze in an ad for the Pirates movie! LOL

All I can think of for this family, is OH BROTHER How can you not have fun at WDW?

What they heck were they talking about, when they said only stay on the paths? Has something changed, or did this family really expect to be able to frolic in the greens of the parks?

Hello?! Duh, you guys! The Onion is a satirical newspaper! It was written as a joke! There is no actual family! I think the original poster understood that. It was pretty good, actually.
Check out some of the Onion comedy books at your local bookstore. They're a riot!

OH! LOL I feel sheepish.......... I did not know it was a satirical paper! I was wondering about that family! LOL

Now we know why the sign at the new Shrek ride proclaims:
"Welcome to Duloc -- Happiest totalitarian dictatorship on earth (well second happiest). "

Welcome to Duloc, such a perfect town
Here we have some rules, let us lay them down
Don't make waves, stay in line
And we'll get along fine
Duloc is a perfect place

Please keep off of the grass
Shine your shoes, wipe your...face
Duloc is, Duloc is
Duloc is a perfect place

lol! My 5 year old daughter walks around the house singing this all the time. Of course, she has no idea what it is referring to! She is a huge Shrek fan and practically knows the movie by heart. She does a pretty good "Donkey" impression too!

I assumed it was probably a joke, but the thing is...there ARE actual families just like that...which is the really sad part of the whole thing!

I live down here near Orlando, and it's amazing the things some people want to do, or to be done for them, simply because THEY are on vacation and paid to be here!

I never heard of the Onion, but it's my kind of humor...

Yeah, we have some really interesting characters down here in Weston, (suburb of Ft. Lauderdale), who feel they are special, and are allowed to park wherever they want, annoy everyone when their children are crying at the movies, etc. I haven't figured out if the entire planet is becoming this way, or if its specific to Florida at this point.
You definitely need to check out the Onion paperback books in the comic section of your local Megachain bookstore! I gave my brother a few of them for Christmas this year, and he loved them!

No Martha, it's just Weston.

Quite funny !!!!!
Can you imagine families let loose to stroll amongst the vegetation at Animal Kingdom ? - especially next to Kilemanjaro Safaris... and if those keychains werent '$15' everyone you knew would be carrying their WDW keychain about and there would be no exclusiveness (is that a real word ?) to having one
