I agree with that because as independent as my child is, when we go to Disney she is stuck to me like glue. The crowd scares her to death at times. Also moving rides like the haunted mansion she can't move fast enough to get in the car on the moving sidewalk.
We also get the hate stares because she taps someone on their shoe. I totally hear you.
