But some kids are born of a bad seed and its in their genetics to be a evil and nasty if they have good parents or bad parents and some kids are born with a good seed and will be a nice person with or without good parents. just the luck of the draw sometimes but mostly parents have the most influence as to how kids will behave or not

All I was saying is that sometimes parents are so stressed to see and do everything they forget that small children are often overwhelmed. Sometimes mom and dad forget that the little ones would appreciate an afternoon nap. Sometime we get caught up in how long we planned for the trip and how much we spent on it we forget to enjoy it. How many people walk by the living statues in Epcot and never realize that they are real people? One of my greatest memories of EPCOT was watching a little boy play in the fountains. He had a great time and never rode te e-tickets.

Parents have to step forward and admit, they were lousy parents. Children LEARN how to act, how to behave, how to yell and scream from others. 99% of their life is with their parents so who do you think is doing all the teaching? I see parents litterally dragging the kids through the magic kingdom, yelling and screaming at them because the child wants to go on a ride or drink of water and the parents are too lazy to get off their behind to take them. The parents went to Disney for themselves and not the child. They don't want to be bothered with the childs experience. I have seen this time and time again. So get off that "its the childs fault" horse, it is all the parents and how they are raised and taught at home. Bad DNA? Yes, Parents bad DNA in poor parenting. Everything the child does reflects the parents and later in life, friends. The child learns all the skills it will use in life up to the age 8 years. Thats all mom and dad time. If you failed to teach him how to act, speak, react, perceive, when to be quiet, when to speak up, think, reson, study, and generally live a good life, then you have raised a child that will never be prepared for what will happen in his adult life. And I know you can think of somone who would fit this discription. Don't blame the child, it all comes from the home. ID

The oldest loves Toy Story so we considered ASMovies but in the end I decided having a seperate bus line was better especially returning in the evenings. For a mod our fave is POFQ & for kids that young it would give you the least amt of walking & bright colors, both a plus with toddlers. For deluxe I doubt it matters much but I would go with WL. Location, location, location baby! It's closest to MK & easy access to other venues. AKL is nice for animals but it is pretty isolated for my taste. The animals are nice but really a small part of the overall needs for a vacation. I want to get where I'm going with a wee one as quick as possible. Others will disagree this is only my opinion. We started taking our children to DL when they were about 3 months old. Back then it was almost the only family friendly vacation destination available. Now that being said if going to DL/WDW was a once in a lifetime experience I absolutely would have waited so they could remember. Since it wasn't we have so many great pics that by now they almost feel like they do remember. I don't have to tell a good parent/grandparent how to take care of their wee one's @ WDW they already know. The folks with no/poor parenting skill usually don't want advice anyway. And as for melt downs I've seen just as many, maybe more from teens & obnoxious adults. Give me a choice I'll take the kid melt down any day. Have a great time with those grands.
