Disneyland - The Happiest Place on Earth

For the past week and a half I've been away from work at Disneyland - The Happiest Place on Earth. The place is a lot of fun especially when you take young children. The glow in their eyes as you go on rides is so much fun to see.

One thing I learned is some people have no concept of what a line is. Last Monday night we stayed "late" to watch the fireworks show. It was awesome. A few problems with staying for the end of the show is that almost everyone else at the park does the same thing and young children who are used to going to bed early don't do so well. Everyone else staying late makes it somewhat difficult to get out and back to the parking structure. Mix in crying children and Disneyland quickly becomes The Most Anxious Place on Earth.

There is a little tram that takes people from Downtown Disney to the parking structure. The lines for the tram were huge after the firework show. As we were standing in line, this young couple came and cut in front of us. I was ticked. My son that is about 8 months old was not having a good night and was crying. The guy in the couple glared at me with a look of disgust almost to say, "Get your child to stop crying." I was even more ticked. So I took my son away from my wife and stood right behind the guy, and pointed my crying child at him so he could enjoy cutting in line even more. When the line moved a little bit, I noticed him try to move up further away from us, but I made sure he didn't get away. I pointed my son's mouth right at the back of his head.

Maybe next time he'll think twice about cutting in front of a family with young tired children. Then again probably not.
