What about a lane for strollers?

[Mom to a Princess]

I agree with Daisy, but I just wanted to add that I love stroller threads, nothing gets the fur flying faster.

Now somebody should mention "bratty kids"

You are too funny. I have tears running down my face from laughing so hard.

Thanks for the laugh!

What they really need is a Cannot_Wait_4Disney lane. And everyone else needs to wear one of those invisible fence collars that will zap em if they stray into my lane. And my lane needs to go right to the front of every line and right to the best viewing areas of the parade. Now there would be crossings of course, but I would have the unconditional right of way.

There is a "stroller" only lane at the The Land. It's the one marked with the blue circle stick figure in a wheelchair. Just ask any of the stroller users who were constantly using it last week and found an additional attraction for their kids by letting go of the stroller and letting it roll on it's own back down....... .

I think the keys to avoiding getting run over by strollers is pretty simple.

1. This is for everyone: Don't stop dead in your path.

2. People with strollers need to watch their children. Kid's drop things out of the stroller, mom/dad stops stroller suddenly, someone in party get's rear-ended by stroller

I saw a kid at AK literally fall out of his stroller while sleeping and "Auntie" kept strolling. In fact, she ran over the kid and he stayed sleeping. All the while, I'm screaming at the top of my lungs for her to stop!

3. Please pull off to the side of traffic to read your maps.

4. Keep an eye on your children

5. Pull off to the side of traffic to talk on your walkie talkies or cell phones, or my biggest bet peeve, smoking where you shouldn't be smoking
Last Sunday night for EMH this lady walking and smoking a cigarette, banged right into our stroller, which was parked to the side of traffic. (Not even moving, and she walked right into the stroller from the side.)

6. Just be curteous to all guests

7. Do not push and shove after preshows. If you got into the preshow part, you are gaurenteed a seat in the attraction. You can avoid getting run over by wheelchairs, if you just let them pass you by. They have their own seating area anyway.

They should make one, then all the stroller people could run each other over rather than us!

Please.........

Tell you what, don't stop in front of me and I won't run into you. Why don't we divide Main Street in to different lanes. Say, stroller lane, people taking picture lane, looking at map lane, etc. etc

Not to highjack the thread, but oh my this bugs me too. Especially when people are walking and trying to hide the fact they are smoking, so they hold the cigarette down at there side and try to hid it in their hand. (oh and swing there arms when they walk too) This is so dangerous. It puts it right at the kids eye level and stroller height. A women almost burned little PhD this way when she was a baby (on the boardwalk at Virginia Beach) and I thought DH was going to hit the ceiling. Of course I wouldn't of blamed him, he would have had to hold me back if she had burned her.

Okay so this is part of the highjack:

Saturday we were at the ropedrop at the MK and the CM who was holding people back right under the train station spotted a woman smoking. The poor CM was the only one there to stop people and he had a walker! He asked my DH to go over to the woman and ask her to put it out. I would have been uncomfortable doing that, but he did! I thought for sure the woman was going to kill him! Just odd doing the CM's job and the not so pleasant part...

Actually on the Backstage Tour, the CMs told us to use the wheelchair lane through the first section and then to collapse the stroller to put it on the tram. The funny thing was that it was the first morning with the new strollers at MGM and no one could figure out how to collapse it. It tooks 3 of us about 5 minutes to figure it out.

I think I am an odd park goer. I love to go and just enjoy the park, no running from here to there. Once our trips slowed down they have been so much more relaxing! And that is now with a 3 year old. We don't usually park hop which helps with relaxation and don't mind heading back early and just watching fireworks from the hotel. It makes everything so much better!

And I can't stand a kid pushing the empty stroller!!!!!

 

[jevans8758]

My conception of where everyone is heading with all the gripes built up over their experiences (through no fault of their own) is a new Disney concept.....you would never leave your personal cart from the moment you went thru the turnstiles (your whole group would be restricted to this space......bathroom facilities integrated of course). You would go to all rides, concessions, TS, CS, etc in your cart that runs on a smoothly propelled track. Your cart would load into each ride and you would be, of course, air conditioned the whole time......no human interaction whatsoever (no others cell phones, kids, smoke to bother you).......the wave of the future......that way, tolerance would be a thing of the past, unless someone accidentally put a horn and an accelerator in the cart....beep beep.......

If everyone just pays attention there really shouldn't be any problems....right? Just to let everyone know...I will be very courteous and aware when driving my double stroller!! So please don't pick on everyone with a stroller...

 

[mattsdragon]

How about a lane just for those people with strollers that are carrying resort mugs purchased during a previous stay after they pool hopped?

Which they learned from TGM. . .

no offense sponser.
