    Remember, these kinds of hateful, self-pitying, foolish, ignorant, creepy, looney statements can still be expected, if we remember that we live in a world where some people eat their own poop.

    Two things…1) The term is “child-free” not “childless.” People who do not have children by choice do not consider themselves missing or lacking anything. And 2) Pretty sure that rant is a fake tweet/post.

    So I’m planning my third adult trip with my dad. I’m that dreaded childless millennial. According to this woman, I wouldn’t have been able to visit in my first trip, let alone my upcoming one. Millennials are the ones that have breathed new life into Disney.

    They’ve overtaken the market, and the shift with the extra Disney offers as well as the kind of food the serve (not to mention the alcohol) tells you that Disney is not just for kids. As someone who enjoys thrill rides, I love Disney in the variety of attractions it offers despite being more of a roller coaster junkie. I like that Disney is branching out away from the standard chicken and burgers. The parks and resorts have great opportunity to try new foods, many of which aren’t for the limited palate of a child’s (though I like hot dogs & mac and cheese as much as the next person too). I can get a good combination of unique flavors and being a kid again by going to Tusker House for a character meal. I can enjoy a host of various specialized drinks and snacks during one of EPCOT’s many festivals. I can admire the various Imagineering that goes into the design and theming of rides, resorts, and restaurants. There is so much about Disney that adults can enjoy. Whether you’re a kid, a kid at heart, or an adult looking to add a little extra magic to their vacation, there is something for everyone.

    This woman is crazy. If she has this attitude just think of what her child is going to be like from being raised by a woman like this. I feel sorry for her kid. Brats raise even bigger brats. SHE is what’s wrong with our world today!

    It should be for everybody, I went to Walt Disney world on my honeymoon and after I had my son and he was old enough I took him there and I take him there all the time. My son is a special needs child even though he older now he has a mind of a 2 to 4 year old and loves Disney World. It should be for everyone and not just her( the one who is complaining).

    First of all Walt Disney World is for all people of all ages. we are all children at heart. Besides no one told this woman to bring her toddler to Walt Disney World. Being a single woman who chose not to have children. I think it’s a wonderful place to be. I go with my family. My siblings that have children. Just because she has a child doesn’t make you special. She thinks she’s in an entitled parents was her angel. But she has certain rights. First of all lady. You need to shut up grow up get a life it’s seriously get some help.

    I just left WDW, after a glorious week with my 15-year-old (the youngest of my 5 children). I did not see anything unexpected as far as taking children to an internationally famous tourist attraction. Cultural differences in behavior, language, or understanding? Yep! Cranky people with and without kids? Yep! Lines? Yep! Thunderstorms? Heat? Humidity? Yep, yep, yep! Kids get cranky, and long lines always make people miserable, whether or not they’ve developed the cognitive skills to remember the reward for patience. Did this mom take time for both her and her child to rest? Did she heed the warnings of cast members and help the child be quiet during instructions, if only to practice? Did she change the poopy diaper before getting on the bus? Did she stop her child swinging on the rails and kicking others? When the child was crying, did she calm him/her down by explaining that it wasn’t their turn, or increase the tears by adding her screams? In the 6:00 Philharmonic show, the cast member took a balloon from a little girl, who was less than 2, and said she could have it back after the 15 minute presentation. She cried. All of the adults, with and without kids, chuckled in a compassionate and commiserating way, and the young parents immediately distracted the child by pointing at the stage. Crying and tears instantly stopped. Child enjoyed the show. Balloon was returned (and is deflated, popped, or gone by now). Donald’s rear end is still sticking out of the wall, though. I wear a brace for an ankle injury and often iced it on the busses or longer rides. There were times when I stood up so a mother with a young child in arms could have a seat, while young parents allowed their tweens with enough energy to wrestle and shove others out of the way at the next stop to stay seated, and, Ms Millennial, I would not accept a seat if an older person were standing. Nobody in the generation you accuse of being rude would have dared sit while any adult, injured or otherwise, stood. I moved so kids had a better view. The night before I left I gave my granola bars, fruit snacks, and goldfish to some young families (making sure only the parents heard the offer to prevent tears should they choose to decline) hopefully giving the parents a few more tear free minutes in the Mickey-head pretzel line. The point? I aided young parents much more than any other young parent could, because my children are older and I respect the struggle. I do not respect tantrums from anyone, ever, especially someone trying to tell me I am somehow less important than they are. If you want a polite environment you must be polite, to other guests and to cast members. If you didn’t pick up trash, wipe down tables, say please, thank you, and excuse me, someone needs to send you to time out without a Mickey head pretzel. BTW, using that HORRIFIC word to describe yourself does not invite respect. Please, learn how and why to use appropriate language to describe yourself, not only so others take you seriously, but also so you don’t ingrain the same negative self-view in your child.

    I went to Disney World as a childless couple myself- my father promised me that we would go when I was a child, and he never got around to it. I grew up, we became estranged, and he died. I was damned if I was going to allow my childhood dreams to die too.
