I don't do motion very well. Once when I was a child I got stuck on the top of a ferris wheel for 3 hours and I remember that nightmare well. I've never mentioned it to my kids cause I didn't want to project my fear onto them.
When we went to Orlando, I barfed on the kiddie tea cups ride. I told you I don't do motion very well!
I don't do the Teacups, but will do roller coasters. . If the teacups do you wrong, avoid Mission Space
From my personal standpoint, I have been to DW, and it must be seen at least once. I went for the first time at age 16, it was just the magic kingdom at that point. Went again with my daughter when she was 2, and my sister was living inFla at that time. Then in 1997, my 2 nd husband had never been, neither had my 2 other kids, so we bought Birnbaums guide to DW with kids, which helps. I spent 11,000, and I dont regret it. My kids had a blast, so did the hubby, who was killed a few years later. But, he got to do something he always wanted. The kids still remember fondly and are grateful! There are things you can do to save money when going. Read the guide. It really is worth it.
I'd love to hear from the children of the anti-theme-park people...I'd bet they'd like to go at least once, though maybe not with their parents.
If they own a television set, then yes, of course, all kids want to go to Disney World!....for the same reason they want to eat PopTarts and Cap'n Crunch for breakfast, and why they want an X-box, and see the latest Batman movie. It's called fantastic marketing.
Some parents prefer natural versus manmade destinations, and I do think seeing the real world (Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, visiting a foreign country) provides a richer, more educational experience for children. But as evidenced by some posters here, there truly is a mindset (sometimes spoken, sometimes unspoken) in our society that every good parent will take their children to Disney World at least once. And THAT is really my only beef with DW.
I don't do little spinning around in circles rides either...no carousels, no Dumbo, no Tea-cups. But roller-coasters! Love 'em...upside down, inside out, backwards...fabulous!
And you noticed this how? Just curious if you were there as an average tourist.
No, I am local. It is only 1 hour away. I observed it from coffee shop. It had a window with the view and you can see people walking by and there are places to sit...then you see a creep trying to talk to a child that got a bit behind in the crowd...Eerie gut feeling that something wasn't right... Ya know... Suppose to be a safe place for kids, ya...

I'm confused. Are you saying it is dangerous because it is so crowded and so it affords pedophiles an opportunity to kidnap children? In this scenario, the danger seems to stem from the parents not supervising their children properly.
