luckystarmom, I usually appreciate your posts, but I do not wish to post to you in anger.

And right now I am very angry that you don't give me the courtesy of at least reading what I say before you respond. You don't seem like that kind of person.

I made it very clear that I would never tell someone else's child that fictional characters are just that, fiction. Not if their parents want them to believe it.

I don't have a problem with the children, my questions are aimed at the adults posting on this thread.

I think it is disingenous to equate Santa with myths and fictional stories just for the sake of argument.

By the way, when I was a child (age of 4), I went to Disney World, but somehow I knew that they were characters. It was still fun.

I understand that you wouldn't tell other people's children.

Do you have children of your own? Because I am thinking that you are young. Disneyworld wasn't opened until the 70s, so I am thinking you are younger than me.

I just don't know of any parents that tell their kids that the characters at Disneyland (or Chuck E Cheese) are not real. What about seeing a magic act? I don't know of any parents telling their kids that the magician is just using tricks and doesn't really use "magic".
