Everyone knows that Walt envisioned the Disney parks because he wanted a place for kids and parents to have a good time together. In addition, they still are, more than ever. However, let us take a reality check here; not everyone that comes to the Disney parks worldwide are kids and their parents, every month thousands of couples and singles come for the magic and for a chance to become "kids" themselves. In addition, many of these couples have children who finally decided to go without the kids to enjoy the parks and relax. Disney in no longer "just for the kids" The proof is that the Walt Disney Company has the most comprehensive child care programs in the industry, there are programs for kids of all ages, even on the Disney ships there are 54 trained child care professionals ready and waiting to watch the kids. You can call these programs anything you want, but boiled down they are just fancy baby-sitting services. They are not there for the kid's entertainment; they exist so parents can get away from the kids for a time and enjoy some peace and quiet and some adult conversation.

On the Disney Wonder and Magic, the restaurant Palo's is totally kid-free, yet not an eyebrow is raised. There is an adults-only pool, the Quiet Cove and on Castaway Cay, serenity bay is for Adults only. As long as there is equality for EVERYONE, there should be no strain. With 98 restaurants on property, even if Disney made three or four more kids-free, or limit the hours small children can dine at them, you would have to be really jaded to deny people an adult place to eat. This is a smart move, and you can rest assured that reservations to them will be hard to come by.

Now personally speaking, I cannot blame any loud and obnoxious children in restaurants. How many times have you dined out, only to be annoyed by kids who are screaming and running around and making your meal miserable? I put the blame square on the parents head. We have run into two basic types in our dining history. Either the parents are totally oblivious to their offsprings behavior, or they have this Cheshire cat grin on their faces as if to say "Aren't my kids cute" Either way the parents are selfish and rude, and have no consideration of other diners. It is the parents that cannot control their kids or refuse to that Disney made this decision.

Kids will be kids, but there is a time when the parent's authority must prevail. However, it seems today that many parents are afraid to discipline their kids. Many of my own friends with kids say that times are different. How can they be different? Has respect and consideration for others gone out the window. When my sister and I were young, my parents were the boss, and my father usually just had to give us that "Look" and we knew it was time to cease and desist. In addition, I know that if my kids were making a scene and disrupting a restaurant, I would be embarrassed to say the least, and their antics would be stopped.

In order for every guest to fully enjoy the Magic that Walt created, there must be something for all. Barring kids from a few restaurants on property so that couples without kids can enjoy a meal is just good policy. Disney can do this because of the number of restaurants they have. There would be more than enough places for parents with kids to eat and special "Adult experience Restaurants" for those who choose some peace and quiet. And remember, loud and misbehaving kids also make it miserable for families with kids who are behaving to enjoy their meal. In fact, the majority of feedback on the blogs and websites support Disney's stand. I hope Disney decides to choose a few more eateries for adults only; it is only fair, I am sure Walt Himself would have agreed.
