What would YOU say to start an argument on the DisBoards?

[BeckyEsq]

I've got a couple based on arguments I've seen:

Is it okay to bring a rolling suitcase to the parks to accommodate all of our costume changes for the day? If so can I leave it in stroller parking or can I ask a castmember to keep an eye on it?

And: How can I protect my Ipad while using it to take pictures on all the dark rides?

My 204 month old can't be expected to fill out his college applications himself, his brain isn't fully developed yet.

Also, any thread that shows RED FLAGS everywhere.

I do remember that one actually! Can't believe I do. lol I did not participate but it sure was a train wreck.

Yes, it was!


How about this one:


"Should I go to Disney World during Gay Days?"

 

[jenny105]

What doesn't start an argument on the boards these days?

And: How can I protect my Ipad while using it to take pictures on all the dark rides?

Just remember to hold it up high to block everyone else's view. Because you paid a lot to get in!

I'm going to vote for any kind of thinly-veiled passive-aggressive political statement, e.g. something like "I can't believe gas is so much more expensive than it was on January 18, 2009, something must be going really wrong in our country." or "I hate that we still have troops in Iraq, how were we so foolish to get involved over there anyway?"
To be clear, I don't necessarily believe either sentiment, but they're along the lines of things I've seen on these boards. That the people who post them
disingenuously claim them to have no political motivation is absolutely infuriating, and usually gets called out pretty quick.

Or the ultimate in thinly veiled political threads the day after a major election.
What an Awesome/Rotten Day!!!! We're headed for Utopia/Hades in a hand basket!!! Why uh err no. I wasn't talking politics.

I am pretty sure I could say the sky is blue and someone would want to debate that.

Especially if you include links to things that prove your position beyond a reasonable doubt.

Also, any thread that shows RED FLAGS everywhere.

I appreciate the use of caps. I would add exclamation points.

RED FLAGS!!!
RED FLAGS!!!

 

[::danielle::]

How about

Can I bring in Red Bull to the parks? I want to give it to my toddler so we can be there from rope drop to the goodnight kiss.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

They took my pineapple away and replaced it with bread pudding. What in the declining standards is going on?

When are they going to take out Ride X? That's so lame.

Zebra Domes and Dole Whips. Over rated?

Should I get my newborn vaccinated?

Don't think anyone else has mentioned this one:

If your child is a picky eater, you must be parenting wrong. Also, adults who don't like sauces, spices, and fungi on all their foods are inferior.

Oh boy. I got in on a thread like that before as someone with a limited palate. It's a lose lose situation, that's for sure.

I also find this not only on here but in general life. For example, if you mention you like meat in any way other than so bloody a good vet could revive it, you get tarred and feathered. Should you mention you like KETCHUP on your steak, I hope you made yourself a will, because that posse over there looks awful angry about it.

Some other notable ones include guns, tour groups of a certain country, diet vs sugary soda is also a good one. I also remember the bread and the methods of buttering it issue, boy did that one strike me as weird to argue over...

I even managed to get someone insanely riled up by mentioning that gas prices are more expensive in the UK than in the US. Never mind I did my calculations right, I had to run for the hills that day before I found myself hanging from the nearest gas pump...

Hilarious!!!

I do believe that this thread should be required reading for all newbies. I consider myself educated!

Buttering a roll completely before eating it.

Paying off any kind of debt vs. going to Disney

Dining plan is a great/horrible value!

 

[Chuckers]

When I check go to check in for my standard room at All Star Sports, I feel
I should get upgraded to concierge level at AKL because I'll ask nicely.

How can anyone not love Dole Whips?

FP+ sucks because now I can't ride all the Mountains 10 times in one day like I used to.

I didn't abuse FP's, I knew how to work the system.

Just because other people don't read up on how to have fun at WDW, doesn't mean that I should suffer.

A healthy adult should/should not give up their seat on the bus to a pregnant 86 year old grandmother with a cast on both legs!

Just as soon as we get back from our three week trip staying at the Grand Floridian we are taking bankruptcy! We really deserve the trip because we need a break before we put ourselves through this ordeal!

Not specific topics, but certain kinds of questions get my goat:

Can I do XYZ? (bring a toaster, crock pot, electric frying pan, park at a resort to go to a park, pool hop, WHATEVER) Nine times out of 10 the poster knows that in reality it's possible but probably against the rules but is just looking for support for doing it- because you know they are going to and are just looking for "permission!"

The Public Service Announcement. This is the poster who takes a simple question OFF TOPIC in order to teach a lesson. There's one of these floating around right now, in response to a question about seat size on 7DMT. "Maybe if you have to ask this question, it should be a heads-up that it's time to get healthy." Gee, thanks, I never would have noticed I am overweight as I purchase size 22 clothes or look in the mirror, thanks for your concern!
(Family's favorite joke right now is "WOW! I finally wear a size 10! Too bad it's my underwear ). The thread quickly degenerates from looking for an answer to chastising each other- What business is this of yours? Why do you care? etc.

It makes me kinda sad that they put RFID chips (or whatever the abbreviation is) into the refillable mugs; so many 'good' threads that will never happen again!

This thread is the best! This should be a sticky that all new DIS users have to read.

My personal favorites:

* Shopping carts. A few years ago I was new here and made a comment about shopping carts, not realizing the ****storm that would rain down about carts in the bins vs staying in the parking lot. I couldn't believe the controversy!

* Walt is rolling in his grave over Magic Bands, park hours, attraction closures, refurbs, ticket prices, resort prices, etc etc etc. Also followed up by my personal favorite - Walt would hate the current Disney corporation (of course, with the assumption thrown in that Walt hated profits, making money, etc). Apparently the whole intention behind Disney was a not-for-profit company that every person in the world should be able to go to at any time in their lives. Who knew!

* I am going to Disney World the week between Christmas and New Years. The crowds aren't THAT bad, right? We want to ride Soarin, Test Track, the Mine Train and Space Mountain within a 1 hour period and our children will be absolutely devastated if we can't accomplish that.

* The cast members didn't bend over backwards to make my every possible dream come true so my vacation was RUINED!

* There was one gum wrapper and a single hair in the sink in our room at Grand Floridian and our vacation is RUINED! I should be moved to the Castle Suite immediately.

* I did zero research beforehand but Disney should have told me that I couldn't walk up to Be Our Guest in July and get seated immediately. For this I deserve to be moved from All Star Sports to the Polynesian.

* I know the Cruise Line says you have to be no more than 24 weeks pregnant but I am due the week we get back. Do they ask you to prove you are only 24 weeks along? Will they still let me board? And of course I won't go into early labor, or have a potentially high-risk delivery!

There are SO many more! Great thread idea!
