Courtesy works both ways.
We make choices.
I happily sit on the curb with an ice cream cone, (or coffee) and wait for parades.
I people watch. It's entertaining, and I know after years of trips, that this is "the plan." I chat with the other curb people. I'm happy.
When the parade starts our family tries to accomomdate little ones.
There was one mother, once, tho, who told me to move. Yes, she ordered me to move for her children.
Her comment, "Disney is for children." I heard this same comment at Chef Mickey when I waited to get a picture with Goofy and Donald and a lady pushed in front of me because "Disney is for children."
That didn't win me over.
But, for Castle shows, fireworks, and other night time events, I have been bonked in the head (5'3" is exactly the height for getting zapped) repeatedly with backpacks. Heavy backpacks.
I wish they were not allowed in the park.
And, I have yet to get an apology. It's sort of understood I guess, my head got in the way of your backpack, so my fault.
And as for waiting over an hour for a parade spot, well, my time is as valuable to me as yours it to you. If I chose to spend it waiting for a parade then I miss out on some other attraction...and if you don't then you don't get the front spot. It's your choice. Maybe you would wait an hour for Peter Pan or one of the Mountains. Maybe I wouldn't. Choices and Courtesy, today's post was brought to you by the letter C.
