Those darn bubble wands

[xiphoid76]

Ok, I turned 50 this year so bear with me and my old-man-yelling-at-cloud-rant…but I hate those bubble wands sold at the parks. I really hate bubbles being blown in my face while standing in a queue for a ride. Should I start a petition to ban them? Too far, I know and I am just standing in line now and had time so I thought I would vent a little on disboards Back to the fun and thanks for listening to my rant!

They absolutely should not be allowed to be used in queue lines. There are people with allergies that have no way to get away from them in lines.

Disney themselves blows bubbles into crowds so often now that if someone has serious allergies to them then they probably shouldn’t go to the parks to begin with.

I've never had Disney CM or otherwise blow any bubbles or seen them blowing towards people. I have seen them coming off the sale carts but they are easy to walk around.

Really wish they'd do away with them or only allow them in certain areas - impossible to get the film off my glasses when they get on there - plus they're just incredibly annoying period.

 

[xiphoid76]

OP here - it is just the annoyance factor for me and the stain they make on my eyeglasses. Most people are really good with their kids…but not this family in front of me tonight - seriously these wands must contain a never-ending supply of bubble juice because this kid has been at it non-stop for 30 minutes

Wow, simply wow

I’m talking about the attractions and shows in addition to the carts.

 

[abbyandangel]

I agree that bubbles on glasses are horrible but can confirm that bubbles in the eye is worse

Muppets front third of theater but it's pretty light if they make it all the way down.

Old Nemo Show and Old Mickey's Philharmonic ... I just did both new shows and bubbles must have not been heavy I don't remember them but we sit towards the back where it usually doesn't happen.

You can avoid those kind of effects by sitting towards the back.

I can't think of any attraction. It just isn't an issue other than bubble wands.

I was in the line for TSMM when the little kid in front of us (with oblivious parents glued to their phones) started aiming his bubbles directly on the floor (we were inside) and made a huge sticky slippery mess…

Frozen Sing Along is about 5 minutes of a bubble blizzard.

So are some of the dance parties.

Another old person here and I'm not fond of them either. Thankfully, when you are an older woman with gray hair you can kind of look the kid in the eye, slightly shake your head no and they will stop sometimes.

 

[FreeTime]

Here now and have to agree with the OP. They are blowing it ones face every few minutes. The waiting areas are also getting slick with them.

Oh we won't go in Frozen show anymore but both of those are geared for young children so no surprise there for those going. I think it is possible to avoid at most places they have them by where you sit. And I don't think they compare to have a wand a few feet from your face blasting you.

 

[dizneegirl]

Don't care for them in my face, on/in my food/drink, or on my phone screen or camera lens...

We just got back and I wholeheartedly agree with you! You couldn't get away from the bubbles! But the worst was when we were sitting to eat at Casey's and the kid behind us was pointing it right in our direction so it was getting all over our food!

 

[teachmedis]

I find the bubbles whimsical and I think they add to the ambience.

 

[Meriweather]

They should not be allowed in rides, in queues or in shows....other than that, I don't mind them blowing at me walking around

What about the “snow” on main street or in the frozen show in HS?

I loved the bubbles in LM show n HS.

I’m in my 50s also, but I don’t mind the bubbles. I mean I don’t want to be standing in line and a child is aiming them directly at me - but I have never had that happen.
