So last month my family and I went to Disneyland. Most of the trip was fun except for the extreme nuisance of little children (about 5 and under). Sure, there was the few families of children who were quite, and the very rare who were actually giggling and having a good time, but the majority of children from 5 years to infancy threw the most incredible tempertantrums, screamed on top of their lungs, nonstop crying, and overall were on anything but good behavior.
I’ve only gone to Disneyland twice, once when I was 9 and my brother was 7, and last month when I was 16 and my brother was 14.
But my family and I do not understand why families couldn’t wait until:
1. Their child was past the screaming, crying, temper-tantrum stage
2. Their child was tall enough to go on most if not all the rides
3. Their child was old enough to enjoy the rides, shows, parades, and people in costume without being too scared.
And most importantly:
4. They were old enough to remember going on a trip to Disneyland.
Even when I was 9 I could only remember the most funnest rides, but I couldn’t imagine how a baby or a toddler could remember going to Disneyland. I think to make disneyland the most special vacation you’d want to go without being stressed out about taking care of your kids when they’re throwing temper tantrums or too scared on the rides or have to wait outside the lines with them because they’re not old enough or tall enough to go on the rides.
To me it was a lot funner going as a teenager because I can remember everything and I was a lot more appreciative of going to Disneyland and spending time with my family. So why would you take your little kid to Disneyland?
i know half the park was for little kids, and I’m not saying all the little kids were horrible, but everywhere we went there were kids screaming and crying and throwing temper-tantrums.
It was a topic my family and I discussed a lot in Disneyland, that’s why my parents waited until we were older until they took us, because they wanted us on good behavior and wanted to enjoy it and remember it.
2nd poster: I’m not saying that, I’m saying that they won’t be as appreciative of it and more well behaved as when they’re older.
I went for a week and every day we’d go on the bus to get to the park there’s screaming kids, at all the restrooms and restaraunts and lines for the rides there were screaming kids.
I was 16 when I went and my brother was 14 and there is noooo way we would run off at Disneyland, even though we had cell phones. It was waaayyyy to crazy crowded to even get seperated. And lucky you to get to go every year.
