Kids vs. Bars at DisneyDeirdre Sargenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597253359703566617noreply@blogger.comBlogger3125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653244414806234880.post-40333751935206914692010-02-24T10:54:40.198-08:002010-02-24T10:54:40.198-08:00Well thank you both! I was starting to think I wa...Well thank you both! I was starting to think I was alone in a Disney sea. I remember when Pleasure Island was WAY more adult/walking bar and parents would bring their kids and then get annoyed with the drunk people or the language (like mine). I would tell them that if adult behavior is too much for your kids perhaps you should take them to DisneyQuest or Rainforest Cafe or the Lego store. They would then come back with "those cost money" or "but this is Disney" to which I reply "Newsflash: WDW is not free in case you haven't noticed and Pleasure Island is a adult oriented area. If it bothers you, leave."<br /><br />I think there are just so many self-involved parents that figure that everything is for their kid and no one else would mind. Well there are things that are for adults and not for kids.<br /><br />Restaurants... ahhhhh yes.... I feel another blog coming on. (Must admit I am having my own temper snit since I lost 3 hours of writing yesterday due to a PC error and I can't face it for another 24 hours).Deirdre Sargenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17597253359703566617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653244414806234880.post-86204808293511068902010-02-24T10:29:40.793-08:002010-02-24T10:29:40.793-08:00Sing is sister! You are 100% right on target. I a...Sing is sister! You are 100% right on target. I admit I'm even a little surprised seeing people carrying their kids around a liquor store, but I realize that's my weirdness (seriously though, we have a mega mega liquor store here that actually has those car carts for kiddos. WEIRD.) So, overall I don't think a child is being converted into an alcoholic by exposure to drinking, I think the point is that a bar is an adult venue. Don't set junior on the stool and expect things around him/her to go instantly School-House Disney. Say junior, would you like to eavesdrop a little on why so many college girls get UTI's? They happen at Disney too you know! Of course the bigger topic is taking your 3 year old to a signature dining restaurant and acting like you're in a cone of silence while your child begins to banshee it up. Well why not, it's Disney after all, which is for the children. Cough. But that's another topic...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653244414806234880.post-42867225131199466812010-02-18T06:40:51.311-08:002010-02-18T06:40:51.311-08:00AMEN! I love what you said to the kid at the Tune...AMEN! I love what you said to the kid at the Tune In Lounge. In New Jersey kids are not allowed to sit at the bar until they are 21. Maybe the parents were not offended as much as it gave them food for thought?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
