Ok... I really want want to know what happened... If that's ok... Lol
It wasn't really that bad..just annoying! We were coming back on the boat from FW to MK. We had to stand on the boat..but it was no big deal to us. As we were getting off the boat the captain asked for the standing people to get off first and the sitters to wait. We walked off and suddenly a woman, who was sitting, popped up out of her seat and grabbed her son in the seat behind us and said "Sometimes you just have to go for it"..dead to my face. Whatever..I didn't care. So we kept walking and then the woman's father (I am assuming..he was much older but it was just the 3 of them) pushed me out of the way to get up to his family and then yelled at me for cutting off his son. Literally he said "He's just an 8 year old boy..what should we do leave him behind?" Then he proceeded to call me a "real piece of work". Now..please remember these people were sitting and were told NOT to get off the boat til we did. Also, I love kids. I teach 2nd grade I let kids cut me off at least 18283 times a day. I really did not care. I told him to "chill out because he was at Disney World".
He had some choice words for me about my suggestion. Which made Dave very..um..very..angry. It wasn't pretty.
Unfortunately the whole thing kind of tainted my view of Hoop Dee Do.
On consecutive days at different parks (HS and MK) older people on scooters nearly ran over my son, not due to him jumping out (what I would expect) but because they just stopped caring about being safe. I get it that at times the parks are hard to navigate on those things. But that's the price of using them. I'm just glad they were near misses, and I simply gave the offenders a piece of my mind. If someone hit my son with a scooter, I might have gotten banned from Disney.
