My perspective is more about the pre-planning stage. People do not allocate the time necessary to enjoy the parks. They give themselves a day a park and dammit!!!!! we are going to have a good time like it or not. They spend their day running ride to ride trying to get as much in as possible. The end result is exhaustion, frustration, short tempers and frankly, not a good time.
Give yourself time people. All the planning in the world will not save a WDW trip when youre steamrolling the park. I know, I know, cost! All I have to say is, in the end, how much are a lifetime of memories really worth?
Take the time people. Enjoy, relax and it will all come together.
I totally agree with you on this. I have seen so many parents yelling at their children because the kids are afraid to do rides. Some would tell them they spent so much money and that they have to do the rides.
I have almost spoken up several times over the years to tell them to relax and leave the children alone, they are afraid, it is understandable, try to just enjoy the vacation. I didn't say anything to avoid them taking their anger out on me which would not have been good for either of us.
When our children were young we did all the major rides in each park before noon, if a line was long we went to the next one, then back when that one was shorter. Yes we were exhausted, most nights my wife and I carried our two youngest out of the parks, they were asleep in our arms.
Unlike todays children screaming and yelling on the buses, our children were brought up not to do that in public, they sat on the busses, monorail or boat and did not complain.
a funny thought just hit me, 2 years ago we were eating at a restaurant and a child was screaming/crying. A gentleman sitting next to us who was about our age said, if that was me my father would have given me something to cry about. I thought that was so funny and correct for our age.
