"I think we just wasted eight grand" VILLA RICA, GA—On the way home from his family's long-anticipated trip to Disney World, toddler David Hayes informed his father that the Magic Kingdom had come up just short of a trip through the car wash. "Daddy! No more Disney! I wanna go to the car wash!" said David from the backseat. "Mr. Clean's is sooo fun! It's my favorite!" After donating plasma and taking out a reverse mortgage to afford the trip to Disney, Mr. Hayes had been optimistic the "Happiest Place On Earth" would top Mr. Clean's. "But David," said Mr. Hayes. "There were fireworks, roller coasters, shows, Stormtroopers, gorillas—and you even got to be in a show! Wasn't that amazing?" "I guess," said David. "But the car wash has those cool lights that change colors! And I don't have to walk anywhere. It's the best! Can we please go Daddy, please?" "What—what happened?" Mr. Hayes asked his wife, seated in the passenger seat beside him. "I think we just wasted eight grand," she responded. At publishing time the toddler had downgraded Disney to 4th place, behind playing in mud puddles and going fishing with his Dad.
I never understood families that take children that young and piss away all that money. They (the kids) have no idea what is going on.
As a frequent Disney visitor I have seen many the couple with a baby and small toddler at Disney and wondered what the hell were they suffering with those two and carrying all their crap and the crying and constnat breaks required at Disney when the babies have no idea what is happening nor will remember. Parents end up being exhausted nad miserable and kids just want to sleep or eat and cannot go on all the rides so end up being pushed in a stroller in 90F weather.
We had friends that took their toddler on a Disney cruise. I honestly don't get it. How much money wasted and the kid could just as easily be taken to a local pool.
