I had one inconsiderate Mom that continued to slam her stroller into the back of my foot over and over when we were waiting to enter Frontierland one night at DL as they were emptying out the area after the first Fantasmic! She just could not get the point that we were not going to move until the Rivers of America area was cleared. She could hit me all she wanted, the CM was not ready to let our mob in yet. I liked that HOV lane concept, except perhaps the lanes should be for those without strollers that want to navigate around.

But I run low on patience with parents driving destructo strollers - especially if their over-tired kids are screaming (literally) for nap/bedtime.

That's just not fun and way way waaaaay uncool in the parks. Now at home that is perfectly acceptable, in fact part of the parental requirements. But hey, when in the Parks, have fun, otherwise, go take a breather. I wonder if I could make my stroller shock people without shocking the occupants, some sort of battery system. Maybe a cattle prod or something... *scratches chin*

(I really am kidding, sort of) I steer clear of danyoung after 7 PM in Epcot though.
Originally Posted By LacyBelle I can just see it -- the little DVC all ready for a duel. Bring it on! LOL. So true about Dan. Stumbling around in a haze with that cigar -- making the circle around the World Showcase. That can't be good. I'm just glad he survived to tell the tale.

Originally Posted By RAM1984 My daughter is an expert on these space-age contraptions. When we go to the mall she points out every one we see and can quote the price. We were thrilled when our 2nd child was born in 1975 because that was when the "umbroller" hit the market. We dumped the expensive ($50) one we had inherited and for the next 4 kids it was portable strollers all the way. I could hold a baby in one arm, fold and stick the stroller in the trunk with the other. When we went to DL we rented because that just seemed so much easier. No fighting getting on and off the trams and more space in the car. Personally I do not understand the status symbol strollers but young mothers everywhere are sold (litterally) on them. BTW: My daughter uses a double stroller but ya'no what? We are always very curtious and look out for people while pushing. We figure it is our responsibility to get out of their way. I have been bashed in the ankles with strollers wielded by agressive parents more times than I can count though. The best is when the kid doesn't want to ride anymore and the parents let him/her push it around. LOOK OUT!!!!! >> Once the day becomes NOT FUN, its time to GO TO THE ROOM.<< This has always been my philosophy.

Originally Posted By DVC_dad Okay ladies and gents, take a look at THIS! *snatches the cover off to trumpets sounding* We hear ooh's and ahh's all around... I call it, "The Probe Motor Roller Kid Porter." One giant electric probe in front, giving off bzzzzzt sounds and visible electric archs, and as I pull on the motorcycle handle throttle the golf cart motor comes to life! It has seating for four kids and huge, red-neck mud tires, but that's only available on the floor model.

I'm sure I'll have grandchildren some day and I want one! HAHAHAHAHA
Originally Posted By sherrytodd VCR-CD-DVD-DVC_Dad you are absolutely cracking me up! Can I get a customized model that since I only have one kid with seating for both me and him? I figure you just move the motorcycle handle throtle to a custom leather seat in the rear for me and Brendan can be up front add the shocks, suspension and we're touring in style! Oh and I also want a Monorail horn installed to clear everyone out of my way!
Originally Posted By wonderingalice *LOL* LacyBelle! But to get him in THAT condition - First, you take the passenger side wheels out and I'll take the driver's side... Disable the destructo, then watch DVC and his herd go rumblin' tumblin'... Wheeeeeeeeeee HAWWWWWW! Rootin' tootin' shootin' non-moms unite! Oh geez! We're all gonna be BANNED from Disneyland if we ever show up at the same time! *LOL*
