What not to do at Disney?

[troyer]

If you see someone pushing a stroller don't run up just to cut in front of them and just suddenly stop where you get the back of your foot hit.

Don't touch my kid because you think he is cute he is not in a little animal he is a little kid this acctually happened several times last year when we went.

There sure is! And the time would be - when the baby is hungry, and the place would be - wherever you are at that time. (assuming, of course, that safety isn't an issue.

Breasts have been around for a lot longer than bottles, get used to them, they aren't going away.

I guess what I read into this whole agruement is people will do what they want, when they want - and will justify it any way they want - I wonder if the same aguement holds true when you have to urinate? Parahrasing a previous poster...... "I guess the time would be when I have to go, and the place would be - wherever I am at the time. (assuming of course that safety isn't an issue).

Seriously though, no one is saying a hungry infant shouldn't be able to be breastfed in public - but wouldn't we all agreed that there is some etiquette involved ?

 

[delaneyc52]

If you have a stroller, do not think you can abandon the "rules of the road." I've had more strollers smack me in the ankles without apology more times than I can count!! Stroller etiquette please!!!

if a woman was standing on the grass, bare chested, hand expressing milk on the lawn in front of the castle I would ask her to go to the rest room - just as I would a man standing with his (you know what) out peeing on the grass.

But a baby (whose head and face covers most of the breast) who is eating from bottle or breast should be left alone.... whether it's at a restaurant, ride or the pool.

and further more regardless of how we feel about this topic the law speaks for itself. A woman is allowed to breastfeed in public, anywhere and anytime that she is allowed to be. end of story.... now.... let's move on!

Don't come with the attitude of entitlement. Everyone else paid to be here, everyone else is waiting in line, everyone else is paying the same food/souvenier prices.

Don't stop your large group in the middle of a heavy traffic area to pull out the map. Please go to the side!

Don't assume that since we're young and in our 20s we're going to try and cheat you out of line or take your child's seat.

Don't step in front of the person in front of you for a better view of the fireworks. You will not get a better view, you'll just give them a blocked view. Fireworks are in the sky people, one foot won't make a difference, no matter you're height.

Do not forget to prep your child before a ride and tell them all it entails or else you will have a BIG don't:
Don't have a meltdown in Fantasyland. And I'm talking about the mother! And I'm talking about myself! My child was afraid of heights and I had no idea until this year, 18 months after I took her on her first MK ride, Peter Pan. To clarify, my DD, 5, had the meltdown first and I was alone with her and DS, 4. It was first thing in the morning and she started screaming that she wanted to go home, as in our house. My bad behavior followed.

Yes, I fess up to bad parenting right in front of everyone I will never see again, but am still embarrassed by the whole thing.

Please don't judge the people using the handicap lines or people who get to use there stroller as a wheelchair. These people, including my child, have many medical conditions that make life very hard and rude remarks and staring don't help.

If you against breastfeeding in public, what would you like the mother do? Feed in the bathroom? or go out to the car? I don't like to use the bathrooms in the park, never mind eating in one. They have the area to feed but only 1 and if you are on the other side of the park is the mother supposed to walk across the park with a screaming baby so you don't have to risk a chance of seeing a ****? I'm more offended in the people walking around with grease running down their arm from the turkey leg.

Hmm...nice use of a quote, but you're comparing apples to oranges.

Urine = waste product
Breastmilk = food

Seriously guys, can we move on? We're not all going to agree on it so let's just get over it. If not I'll just request the mods close this thread

Agreed! I personally don't have a problem with it. It is natural, when the baby is hungry it should eat whenever and where ever. My only concern is when my 9 yr old DS sees your business hanging out. We don't allow our kids to watch/look at a lot of crap that is on tv and in the media. Now granted he knows what they are and what they are used for but I would preffer to keep him inocent to what they actually look like for as long as possible. As a mother of a tween boy I just ask that you remember that there are young eyes watching and please becareful as to what others actually do "see".

 

[hsembrick]

Don't make your child ride bc you want to ride, use the baby swap that's what it's there for.

Don't save a place for four other people in line wait til you are already then enter the line at the same time.

I hate seeing people who are so sunburnt! DON'T FORGET TO REAPPLY!!!

I agree

It is sort of weird I hate heights but I still love peter pan maybe becuse I am focused more on the seanery then being off the ground.

My DFi and I are hadicaped and Disney is hard enfoe with out being judged

 

[wezee]

Do not take your problems out on the CMs its not there fault.

 

[hiddenj]

Don't blame Disney for you not checking to make sure that you have all your items when leaving a ride. No, they are not going to stop a ride to get your items back, especially when there is no way of knowing what ride vehicle was it was left in.

 

[Love2BinDisney]

I have a medical condition that is not visable by wheelchair or anything else but is very serious so don't judge when you see people using a handicap pass if they arernt in wheelchair.

This. I'm tired of hearing your opinions on breast feeding in public. Move on.

 

[scarlet_ibis]

Don't roll into a long character greeting line (say, the Judge's Tent) in your wheelchair, then get up and walk back to the shop while your boyfriend holds your place in line for 30+ minutes. He's not going to be happy with you, nor will the rest of the people who see you abusing the system later in the day to get reserved parade seating and to bypass the lines on rides.

Don't smoke. Period.

 

[wezee]

Don't be so critical of every little thing. Which may or may not include....wheelchairs, strollers, refillable mugs, breast feeding, smoking, etc.
You're on vacation at the most "magical" place in the world. Enjoy yourself and let all your fellow vacationers enjoy themselves in their own way.
