Things that gross you out in WDW!

Because Steinbrenner can pay the mob to enforce the rules. Disney won't.

Not a personal attack on you, but this really gets me riled up - and here's why: BOOZE.

It's marketed heavily in every park except MK. Heavens, it's in most restaurants, predominant at the pool bars, even in STREET VENDOR carts that look like giant slushie machines! I've seen parents pushing strollers with one hand and balancing giant beer mugs in the other

I understand you do not want to smell smoke because you can't tolerate it for whatever reason. DH doesn't like to be around people who are drinking because of his alcoholic father. It makes him physically ill to smell it.

However...it is legal and allowed on Disney property. So is DH going to give the stink-eye to everyone weaving through World Showcase? No..he's going to ignore it and enjoy his hard-earned vacation. At least the smokers are (supposed to be) in well-marked, easily avoidable locations.

I don't think you can compare the two. If I smoke in front of you the secondhand smoke can directly effect your health. If I have a beer passing buy you it will not physically harm you.

We were waiting for our table at the Yatchsman Club Steakhouse and a mom with a baby was nearby. The baby spit up on the nice hardwood floor and the mom just walked away.

A waitress finally came out five minutes later and cleaned it up. Everyone had to step around it. She could have at least let someone know so they could clean it right away.

Sorry but in a wide open arena such as the parks 2nd hand smoke is not an issue. smoke travels up and disapates faster. So unless your in the designated area and 9 feet tall and deformed to a 45 degree angle and facing me, you have no threat to second hand smoke...

I have seen a rise in smokers not smoking in the smoking areas not to mention that several smoking areas are near merchandise carts.

It will if you stumble and knock me over.

Sorry! I couldn't resist.

Unless you are so drunk you trip and land on the kid in the stroller - seen in World Showcase!

Well that's not a banning issue, that's an enforcement of the current rule issue.

Agreed.

GMTA, cp!

That is a different issue of Disney letting people get to drunk.

I think you missed the point of my post. I said that smokers are supposed to stay in the designated smoking areas. If they don't then all you can really do is inform a CM or security and walk away. I agree with pp that Disney would STRICTLY enforce that rule.

People who over-indulge in alcohol are not kept in a designated area but allowed to stumble throught the parks in full view of every child there. No, my child will not develop cancer or have an asthma attack from this encounter but I really don't want my kid exposed to this, and it does make my DH physically ill to smell alcohol. To get back to the point of this thread - I have seen him vomit from the impact of a drunken neighbor's breath

Not trying to argue which is the worse vice...just stating my opinion.

I don't know what to tell you about your son but alchol is everywhere

I didn't realize Disney forced people to drink alcohol until they were drunk.

Shame on you Disney!

 

[McElhinney1]

Sounds like the group at Pop Century who seemed to spend every waking minute huddled by the pool drinking Keystone Light....

I don't think I said that.

It's hubby, not son And yes, it is everywhere. But he doesn't go into bars or any other designated drinking area and complain that there is drinking going on there.

And he knows that it will be going on in Disney and has made his peace with it. The need for a well-earned vacation with the mouse triumphs over everything!

I just think that the argument "Disney is for kid so there should be no smoking" is a little thin when you consider alcohol consumption on property is so widely accepted and encouraged.

This comment was in poor taste, IMHO. I've stayed at POP several times and I have seen people drinking by the pool, but no one was stumbling around drunk. Why do people continue to stereotype to the guests at Value as the unwashed masses?

 

[cpbjgc]

I don't think I said that.

You disputed that there was instances where drinking would cause harm to others.

I gave an example of where being drunk caused harm to another (said child in stroller).

You then said it was Disney's fault letting people get drunk.

So, yep, I think you said it - but I will stop taking the thread off topic.

Everyone back to !

Good point. Next time I'm going to sit at the Poly with a keg of Keystone Light, and of course will be using my resort mug to drink it while enjoying the poolside atmosphere of a resort I'm not staying at.
