"You're to old to be here...."

I think a lot of the issue is that people show up late to parades, fireworks etc and try to worm their way up to the front where people have been waiting for an hour to get their great view!

That post is actually the point I am trying to make. It isn't the adults that are ruining it, it is the adults that see no purpose in attractions that seem directed a children. It is that attempt to force Disney to just appeal to those adults that have lost the ability to call up their inner child. Instead just make things that grown ups can do that children cannot.

When the reason for the parks creation was to have something that adults and children can do together this exclusion of things that are for the younger people but can also be enjoyed by adults as long as they allow themselves to see through the eyes of a child. The sad thing is that so many adults don't care about or don't understand the concept of a family park and just want things that scares them and children cannot be allowed to ride with them. It's a very sad social change that can ruin the experience for people that can go back to childhood without feeling weird about it. Walt did that for us by allowing us to enjoy, even if they don't admit it, something with their children or their inner child.

I have a question. Was the 4-5 year old shorter than you? If so, I would probably have let the child stand In front of me. I don’t care as long as I can see over them.

What would I say? Nothing! I'd be too shocked! As well as, with her child around, what I'd be thinking wouldn't be appropriate to say around children.

Ditto, but I may not be all that shocked. I worked customer service for several years. It is just something I wouldn't expect at Disney.
