I don't understand why some of these are "sins." If you have a kid blowing bubbles, they are most likely at kid level. Make sure the bubbles stay at kid level, and no one should be bothered. (BTW, I've never heard of that trick before, and I am totally stealing it for my next trip. LOL)
Saving a table while one person gets the food? I agree with the PP that it makes more sense than dragging the whole family around. I think that if you have to wait for a table, that's the luck of the draw. If people were sitting there playing hangman for 3 hours with no food coming, well then I'd get upset. Same thing for lingering. A meal is more about just getting sustenance into your body. It's a relaxing experience. Time to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the day.
And as for the
DDP. If you pay for the credits, then who cares who you spend them on? I don't understand that one either. Maybe I just have really bad morals in thinking that making someone else's day magical is a good thing.
Now for my sins:
I've judged people. Especially in my pre-kid days. I thought "what kind of parent..." and now I find that I've done the same things that *those* parents did.
I used a monkey leash on my 1 year old.
I flipped the *$#( out on a set of parents. We were at the old Winnie the Pooh playground with our 1 year old. It was our first day, and we had just gotten to the park. She was having a good old time when a little boy around 5 burst out of Pooh's home and pushed her...hard. She bashed her face against the fake tree, which was apparently made of some government-made strongest material on the planet. Because it made my poor baby scream her head off, and she got a knot really quick. There were no parents around this kid. I went into mama bear mode. I tracked the kid down and saw his parents sitting, completely oblivious, on a bench. I stormed up to them and demanded to know if that was their kid. They said yes. I screamed, "well he just pushed my daughter and she hit her head." Meanwhile, the baby was still screaming her head off, no matter what dh and I did to soothe her. The parents called the boy over and asked if this was true. Of course he denied it. The parents said, "well he says he didn't do it. Don't know what to tell you." Again, I flipped out. I screamed, "of course your precious angel denies it. And you wouldn't know because you guys are parents of the year, not even paying attention to him, sitting on a bench. How about you learn how to parent, enjoy a FAMILY vacation instead of just letting your kid entertain himself by running amok in a playground and tormenting babies. A#*holes." And I stormed off. They finally came up to me about 20 minutes later and said he admitted it, and they mumbled an apology as they left. Grr, I still get mad just thinking about it.

are you saying that you over-reacted, and that is your Disney sin?..or that you felt your behavior was justified?
. I guess my mom didn't know what to do, I think she was mortified.
