My nephew was visiting and we took him to see monster trucks. After 10 mins of the show starting, he asked if we could leave and get a car wash 😂
kids do not have cost awareness. they are just emotional. hope you ve enjoyed the ride, too
No lie, that was me as a kid. When I was a kid we went to Disney World and those bus drivers whip those busses in and out of the parks like no other it was fascinating to me and I had a bus obsession for awhile after that. Every new Hot Wheel/Matchbox I was allowed to get I picked the bus ones and asked and received other bus toys for birthdays and Christmases after that. Never became a bus driver, but adult me now plays bus simulators.
In the middle of summer… yeah, I’d agree that the air conditioned bus would be the best part.
We took our kids to Disney and the only thing they remember is that we DIDNT take them to the McDonalds with the giant ass play area.
Lol my parents always tell the story of taking my cousin for a “special day”. Spent the whole day doing extravagant things. Come to the end of the day and my cousin says, “Uhhhh so when are we going to have a special day??”
My parents, (holding back “you little shit!”): “What would make this day special?”
My cousin: “I’d like some gum.”
Could have saved a whole day and hundreds of dollars with $2 worth of gum.
Sounds like we might have a future transit planner on our hands 🙂
This reminds me of my first time going on a trip. I had won a contest and as a prize, they took one student per state to Singapore.
We visited so many amazing tourist places.
My favorite part? Riding up and down the escalator at the AC mall near the hotel.
That was my nephew and the monorail
Last year my wife and I took our two year old on holiday to America (from the UK), and did a bit of a road trip of New England and Canada. We stayed at Boston, New York and Toronto, saw the Statue of Liberty, Niagara Falls, the Finger Lakes, all in Fall colours.
The Airbnb we stayed at in Toronto had a trampoline in the garden… Guess what her favourite part of the whole trip was? 🤷
The cat plays with the cardboard box. You sae the ad, you saw the cat toy, you paid your paycheck on it. The cat never pretended to need expensive toy to be happy, it would have always gladly taken the box.
You listened to Disney and bought tickets to make her happy instead of just taking her to a park or something. Whos the idiot?
Big box energy.
This is my little one’s favorite part of Disney too because she gets to “stand up in the car”.
For those of you who are imagining the buses at Disneyworld (which I was thoroughly impressed with as an adult as well), this post specifically says Disneyland, and let me tell ya, even though they’re the same buses it isn’t the same experience lol
This sounds more like r/parentsarefuckingstupid
I can’t get over what a waste Disney World felt like. I hope people normalize not going there with their kids.
There is only: waiting in line, shopping, buying food, and a few minutes of rides. There aren’t many places to sit and relax without buying food.
That was a cool bus ride, ngl
Well it is the fastest ride at Disney World!
I’d like to share what a [typical trip to Disney](https://youtu.be/sssWhnHr6ds) is really like.
Sounds like Disney needs to up their game
The monorail, highway in the sky
Na, I get it. The bus was probably easy to get into, nice comfy seat, it was likely quiet, probably a smooth ride.
Compare that to waiting in line to get on a hard seat that jerks you around while lights and sounds blast at your face. The bus was the highlight because everything else was an assault.
wrong subreddit
Take her to the Disneylands in Paris, Tokyo, China where they built the theme park at a train station. Crazy Anaheim didn’t do the same and instead built the world’s largest parking lot where you have to take a bus.
Kid’s pretty based for understanding the superiority of good pubkic transport over cars.
To be fair, disney land sucks…
This is the equivalent of kids playing with the box instead of the gift inside
NUMTOT in training
Well yeahh that ride is where all the anticipation build up like “oh my god we’re here we’re here!” Then you actually get inside and realize it’s like any other amusement park but with more people
Anticipation is often better than the thing you’re waiting for
i dont think i spend any time exploring the pier amusement park in gta5
I went to Disneyworld with my parents in 2nd grade. They asked what my favorite part was and it was feeding the ducks and catching the lizards at the hotel 😂😂
Pure hell, to me, is waiting in lines all day surrounded by strangers.
Took my son to Australia, then took a bus , a ferry and another bus to get to a zoo. They gave us a map of the zoo. He wanted to see the chickens and nothing else.
My parents took me to Chicago when I was like 6. Went to the museums and saw the giant dinosaur skeletons, etc. when they asked me what I liked about the trip, I said I really liked the fish crackers we had on the train ride there.
If you took her to disneyworld, the monorail through the hotel is pretty great.
To be fair a portion of grown up Americans have fondness for the entire transit network within the Disneyworld bubble, because it’s clean, efficient, and free (included in the cost).
Part of the fantasy of Disney is getting to experience a functioning public transit system, which feels like a true vacation to people who live in car-dependent societies.
I took my kids to the zoo in San Diego and when asked what their favorite animal was, they both said the dog they saw in the parking lot when we got there.
Not the tigers. Not the Giant Pandas. Not the polar bears. A random labrador with a bandana tied around it’s neck.
