Question:
I am curious if this is a new policy or just happened this trip?
We were in FL for a conference and went to Disney a few days. When riding Slinky and Dwarfs, I had people's children seated with me, people I did not know. I did not feel comfortable with this. I let one CM know when we were being loaded on Dwarfs and he was pretty rude in response. We live in a time where people make false accusations about all types of things, which is one reason I did not like it. Also, if a child has an issue on the attraction, like scared, vomiting, medical issue, etc, my motherly instinct would kick in, but that is not my place and the action might be upsetting to the parent.
I was in line for Dumbo alone, just because, and a mom had 2 kids with her and they all tried to cram into one elephant, but it did not work. The CM asked the mom if her kid could ride with me, to which I told her I was not comfortable with that, but I did give up my elephant to her kids and her daughter, about 8 or so, took it.
This happened on 3 different attractions. I am surprised that in all 3 cases, the parents did not have anything to say. I would never allow my children to be seated on an attraction with a stranger, male or female.
Is this some new policy at Disney to try to herd the lines through faster? I started going in 2000, even during Christmas week, and this was not an experience in the past.
