Things that gross you out in WDW!

[Malaguti Ball Clan]

If I could just go to disney longer I could break this terrible addiction once and for all.... oh and maybe I could quit smoking while I was there

not trying to make it a debate, so hopefully no flames. as a smoker, i find it nearly impossible to find the dsa's, even with a map, so i find it unusual to hear people complaining about having to walk thru them.
with that said, some people, probably MORE people, are allergic to grass and tree pollen.

As for just smelling the smoke "too bad" comment - I just want to say that while I do find the smell disgusting, I am also allergic and that whiff of smoke will make me have an allegic reaction.

People have different allergies to a lot of things. I'm not sure what your point is.

I don't blame people when this happens because it was an accident but a few years ago we were taking a picture at the Monorail entrance signs at the TTC, when a person standing next to me threw up just seconds after we took the picture. So we wanted to leave that area as fast as possible because we didn't want to smell it and etc. Then last year at the Contempo Cafe in the Contemporary a little girl sitting at the table in front of us threw up on the their table and part of the floor, so right away we decided it was best to find another place to sit at.

Correct. I have severe allergies to stupid people but they're everywhere

I know that this is going to sound mean and uncaring but here's the deal. Your allergies are yours and yours alone. The world cannot be expected to take anything but reasonable measures to accommodate your problems. Designated smoking areas are a reasonable and in many ways extreme measure to make your stay pleasant but they cannot do it all, nor should they be expected too.

Those that do not stay in the designated area should be dealt with by authorities within the parks. If they don't then complaints should be made. Those that do what is asked should not be made to feel that they have caused you harm because you were not watching out for yourself and you didn't avoid the areas. There aren't many of them in the parks to avoid, it should be simple. Remember you are the one that gets the reaction not them.

I had a leg injury late last year year that left me with a minor but permanent disability. I have a real problem on stairs going up, but mostly down. Uneven pavement can catch me by surprise and drop me to the ground. Still, that is my problem. I must be ever alert to the dangers that affect me uniquely. If I had an allergy to smoke I would do what is necessary to avoid the smoke. It is not the smokers problem it is yours. It is not anyone's problem that I have a hardship with uneven ground so, I will not demand that everything be flat and level because I might fall.

It is just a matter of time before smoking will be banned everywhere in this country, in the meantime perhaps compromise is called for.

First of all, goofyernmost, to that post.

Second, I there are 2 DSAs that come to mind that aren't placed well:
1. The area, as someone has already pointed out, near the Aloha Isle (Dole Whip place). It's really not fun to breathe in smoke when I'm waiting for my mom to finish her Dole Whip.
2. At Pop, the exit to most of the rooms from the Classic Hall. It's the absolute poorest choice to put the DSA there. And yes, to exit the Classic Hall to get to your room, the pool, or anywhere really, you have to walk RIGHT through the cloud of smoke.

I'm glad my GF doesn't have that allergy.

So sorry....I too commented about the b-feeding post. I was so riled up, I just posted before I realized that we were being encouraged to ignore it. Ignorance is so hard to ignore sometimes. Deleted instead of stirring the pot!

After becoming a parent, I have found I'm not grossed out by much.
Honestly, I'm surprised by a lot of what I have read on this thread.

 

[disneyfantotheend]

Me too Annie! I guess my kids are just overly gross.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

This thread shows how one man's meat is another man's poison. I can't comprehend how some of the things listed bother people.

I've never eaten a Dole Whip, so I'm not 100% sure about the layout of Aloha Isle, but are you not allowed to take the snack after you have gotten it and eat it somewhere away from the smoking area? I don't understand why you have to wait in the smoke while your mom finishes her snack.

Not every child is on formula. And not everyone wants to walk with a cooler with advance prepared milk. Moreover, if you breastfeed you need to get rid of your milk, it is painful to have full breast the whole day. As long as mom is not naked, it is totally fine to breastfeed in public, moreover she is protected by law.

I have no problem with breastfeeding in public. Find a comfy spot, COVER YOURSELF and your child and have at it. That's why God gave moms the equipment. BUT, last year DD and I were in line (after the stretching room) at HH and a woman was standing next to DD with everything (both sides) hanging out and her baby nursing, not even a small attempt to be discrete. And, she was getting on the ride in like 2 minutes where she could have ample time to feed. I have no doubt this woman was either European or South American as they tend to have very different ideas of what is and is not acceptable in public and, yes, I know they think we're prudes. But DD kept trying to more away from her and she just kept moving right with her. Poor kid was mortified!!! So, please, if you are going to exercise you right to nurse, please cover up!!!!

There are so many things mentioned in this post that gross me out, but for some reason I'm ok in Disney - guess all the other magic puts me in a mood not to notice it.

Not to start another argument but seriously wonder how non smokers were taking smoking everywhere in hotels just couple of years ago. I used to be on another board back then, do not even remember hot discussions besides booked non smoking and got smoking building.

Of course, but as they fill the thing up all the way and the Florida heat, there's no chance of making it to another spot to eat before the top melts and gets messy. There's other chair to eat at that aren't close enough to the smoke to smell it but those chair are almost always full... or sometimes blocked off.

I don't understand why you have to wait in the smoke while your mom finishes her snack.

What am I supposed to do? Go by POTC and have her call me when she's done so I can meet her back there?

I don't remember that at all. I'm definitely not saying the hotels were not non-smoking, because I remember the switch in May 2007, but it was never a problem for me.



I'm not anti-smoker. I really don't care what anyone does if they're only harming themselves. But I really just think these are poorly placed DSAs. This is especially true for the Pop location described above. That's all.

 

[DisneyHardin]

I hope you didn't think I was being a smart alleck. I truly didn't understand why you (and your mom) didn't take the dole whip and eat it somewhere else, but I understand now that she is afraid it will make a mess.
