So the other night we were at one of DL's night time shows. we had arrived early to get a good spot with are two kids, both under four and 3 grandparents in tow
About 45 minutes before show time a few of us go to the bathroom. I get an urgent text to return. When i arrive my mom explains the family behind us had told their kid to squeeze on front of her and she had said, excuse me that's spot is for my family
His mom jumps in and says that was rude
My .mom says she is sorry if that is how it sounded but those seats were saved
Well then mom and teenage daughter continues to make snide remarks loudly behind our backs
I turn around to tell them they need to stop. To make a long story short. (I know too late)
Words were exchanged, nothing foul but security ended up moving them
. So What would u have done?
Allowing kids to come through and be in front is ok by me as long as it is not compromising my or anyone in my party's view.... But it is also not a right, often I will offer or if someone asks thats ok too, but to simply push them forward without asking is rude.... I am sad to say I have seen posts here where people have said that as they had waited for hours, that gave them the right to have that spot with noone in front of them (and from that I take regardless of whether it affects their view or not).... People this is Disneyland, it is all about the children and thats why Walt built the park in the first place....
Well...why? Why is it ONLY for kids? Why do you sacrifice your enjoyment, when you clearly planned better, for the kids of lesser planners?
I personally think it should all be height-based. Of course, I'm 5'3" so obviously I'm biased LOL...
Walt built the park for children and adults alike, as a family place that parents can enjoy as well as their children... Families means children and I really don't understand that if you can spare a little space for anothers child to have a view of the show they otherwise would not have and that it doesn't compromise your own view and enjoyment why wouldn't anyone allow this... I don't think anyone here is inferring that any child should have priority over any adult for viewing spots just because they are children...
But what if the adult did feel like someone in front of them--even a child--was distracting? And they had waited a very long time to have no one in front of them? I don't believe that late arrivals have the right to stand in front of anyone. To me having a child who is jumping up and down in front of me is distracting and if it's something I really want to see and focus on I will wait, but also don't want someone -- anyone--in front of me. parents have just as much opportunity to secure the same spot as I do early on.
And because parents don't plan ahead is no reason why someone else should feel like they need to give up a prime viewing spot to a child.
Well...why? Why is it ONLY for kids? Why do you sacrifice your enjoyment, when you clearly planned better, for the kids of lesser planners?
Not that it's not nice that you do that, but why is it a MUST?
I personally think it should all be height-based. Of course, I'm 5'3" so obviously I'm biased LOL...
Why is that?
Do adults not deserve a magical experience? Do adults not have dreams? Do adults not get to buy into the fantasy of it all?
Help me to understand: Why do kids come first?
