Off to Disney

He might end up making them play the role of The Borg to his Capt. Pickard though.

I have hair.

Honestly, If disney recommends them, I'd probably trust them to be in my room alone with the kids. I never had to use them as my kids were old enough for the kids clubs. Your kids might ultimately be more comfortable in their own room with a babysitter than in a strange place with a babysitter.

I would never leave my daughter with strangers, that includes anyone recommended by Disney or not. I don't know those people and we preach to our daughter not to talk to strangers, etc., no way I'd make her uncomfortable and leave her with people she doesn't know or trust. I say quit being selfish, and don't leave your kid with people you dont know at Disney World, after all its a trip for children first, adults second.

Or go with another couple or family members. If its couples, you can have them watch the kids one night for dinner, then take your turn another night and let your friends go out while watching their kid. If its family, no brainer, have them watch the kids for a night.

Edit: I realize, this is not a popular answer probably, and I don't mean any offense as I know its nice to get away for a bit with the wife and have adult time. I just freak out about stuff like that cause there are some sick ****s in this world, scary as hell.

And their are overboard parents in this world that cause kids to be paranoid freaks.

Make sure you fall somewhere in between

My daughter is 4 years old. We live in NC. Why would I trust anyone on vacation that I don't know personally or have a friend that could vauge for them to watch my daughter? Hell, they do background checks where I work and we do use a lot of temp agencies (which do background checks too) to help us when we get really busy and I cant tell you the number of psychos that made it through the cracks.

Is it safe? Probably so. Me personally, I wouldn't trust it. Doesnt mean Im raising my girl to be a paranoid freak lol. We make sure she gets out and plays with other children at the park, with our friends kids, etc. We don't shelter her in everyday life by any means, and I see your point on that. But on vacation, trusting the love of my life with a stranger, no way.

And no one can blame you. If you have to leave your kids with strangers, you might as well not go.

Oh, and remember to eat a Mickey Mouse ice cream bar.

I prefer the Mickey Mouse ice cream sandwiches. They're big.

What is there to see/do at Disneyworld's Wide World of Sports complex? Anybody?

Braves Spring Training in season. Various youth sports (maybe adult too) tournaments.

Playstation Pavillion- You can play any Sony game. Long lines
ESPN/Wide World of Sports Cafe- Overpriced nasty bar food.

Unless you are going for a youth sports tournament or a Braves game, there's no reason to go.

Which of your guns are you taking as best for personal protection at Disney?





(my humor will now get me on another watch list)

I know that they sometimes have sporting events there. Atlanta Braves spring training. I think they have cheerleading competitions there.

I don't think there's anything permanently set up, every day. There's a sports bar. (I went there to watch a Redskins game, once.)

Thanks. I couldn't find much on it, and now I know why.

On a disney message board I frequent, there was a guy who fancied himself a Rambo (for lack of a better term). He was (claimed) to be former police and he took it everywhere he went. He would openly discuss how he took his sidearm with him each time he went into Disney. Apparently he ended up on a watch list, and he was caught in the park with it and banned from the park. He posted a HUGE tirade on the message board about infringemen of his rights, bla bla bla. Made for good reading.

Actually, I do know that, near the entrance to Magic Kingdom, there's a kiosk of gun lockers, just outside the entrance. At least, that's what I assume it is. A bunch of like PO boxes, many of them with keys in the locks.

I have absolutely no clue as to what the rules are, for the things. Like, who's allowed to use them, and so forth.

I assume they're for people with CC permits, who aren't allowed to carry in the park, but don't want to leave them in their cars. But I don't know.
