I imagine that happens a lot, but then, I also consider the view of the people they're blocking. In the case of Sunday night, my husband and I were there with a friend, her daughter and her 6-year-old granddaughter. The daughter and granddaughter are from out of state. The daughter hasn't been to Disneyland in at least more than 7 years, and it was the granddaughter's first visit to Disneyland. So while I get that the Dad wants his son to see the fireworks well, I don't think that should be at the expense of my friend's 6-year-old granddaughter. If they had said something before hand, we could have asked them not to have the son hoisted up or maybe tried to arrange something else, though at that point, there wasn't really anywhere else for her to go where she'd be able to see. But, the dad didn't pick his son up until the lights went off. No warning.
