I chose poorly.

Magic Kingdom is a zoo. Do people just pull their kids out of school to come here? Getting food seems an impossible proposition right now, but I don't want to leave until I use my Space Mountain Fast Pass.

More than the number of people, the thing I notice most is the range of parenting ability. Some people really suck at it. Those are the ones you notice the most. But if you look, you do see the good ones, and they make me smile. For every kid getting yelled at, there is one having a moment with mom and/or dad.

And come to think of it, the same is true for other relationships too. There are couples of all ages who are assholes to each other, while others are also making moments.

It just goes to show that the fantasy environment can't compensate for your perception of the world.

Good thoughts. Beth & I were overwhelmed with the shitty parents and families at Disney. A place that crazy certainly can bring out the best and worst in people.

Ugh... psycho parents. Parents where every other word at their child is some obscenity in order to get them in line. It doesn't work and it makes it fun for absolutely nobody including those around them.

It's break week for many of the schools here in Michigan (mid winter break). I suspect the same is true for many school systems and would account for the larger than normal number of kids.
