Disneyland's New Child Admission Policy

Disneyland has just announced a new rule that will be effective this weekend. Children under the age of 14 will not be admitted into the park without a parent. This poses a problem for parents who don't want to pay for parking and prefer to drop their children off at the park. Or worse, children on vacation whose parents didn't buy a pass to accompany their kids. Personally, I don't think this rule should exist at all. By the age of 14, aren't kids responsible enough to spend a day at Disneyland alone? How dangerous could it be? 10 or under, I'd understand, but 14? Those kids don't want to go to Disneyland with their mom and dad! I'm curious to see the controversy that will ensue.
