So let me see, I think I'll borrow my friends resuable mugs when we go in September at which time I will be pulling my child out of Pre-K. They're for the Contemporary - a different resort than the one we're staying in, but I can fill them up when I'm over there pool hopping. Of course my car will already be parked there so that I can just walk into the Magic Kingdom after my 7:30 ADR at Chef Mickey's. We're on the free dining plan, so I'll pay OOP for DD's meal so that I can use the extra credit for our dinner that night at Le Cellier. Unless we decide to go to MGM in which case I also have ADRs for Hollywood and Vine. I can take the bus back to the Contemporary to pick up my car after Illuminations (or Fantasmic). DD will probably be pretty tired by then, so I think I'll let our stretch out on a few of the bus seats so she can take a nap. Oh, but first we'll need a bathroom break. If there is a long line, we'll just use the nice, big stall.
Anyone want to join me?
This is a controversy? Wow- I do all the bad stuff people argue over on thiese boards.buying-a-double-cheeseburger-and-an-extra-bun-to-make-two-burgers controversy

The only other one I didn't see listed is walking off and leaving your kid when they aren't listening and the parents who can't control their kids. That seems to get some people also!
Oh, wait!! How about those who don't know how to use fast passes and make nasty comments while standing in a 2 hour line while the fast passers just zip by them to ride! Or those that come early for their time and block the entrances?! See, I have been reading, and reading and reading!

Oh--and I would suggest you bring every male member of your party that is under the age of 13 into the handicapped stall in the bathroom with you. I'd also suggest that while you are in the single-rider line for TT, you breastfeed your infant while holding a space for the other 12 people in your party who are doing a quick ride on MS before getting FP for Soarin'.
Have a magical trip~
sameyeyam said:Don't forget the "toasters in the room" controversy. Some people actually think you're going to burn down the hotel if you have an unauthorized toaster in your room. Thought I was going to get shot when I told someone I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
P.S. I work for a hotel company. In 17 years I can tell you the main cause of every fire at our hotels (smoking cigarettes). Last one was a few years ago, when a thoughtful smoker decided to smoke outside on his patio, then threw the still lit cigarette butt into the bark dust. It did a lovely job of melting the vinyl siding off the back of the hotel!

Well, *I* don't think it's a bad thing at all...in fact, can't even see why it's an issue. But I think the opposing opinion is that people who do this are "cheap" and if you can't afford Disney, you should choose another vacation or somethingmmlovers90 said:Okay, I admit it, I have done this. I am new to the boards, why is this a bad thing?
