10 Things I Learned at Disneyland

I just got home from a week-long vacation to Disneyland with my wife and 3 small children. Three of my sisters went as well, with their spouses and kids (children totaling 16 under the age of 10). I learned a few things, and thought I'd share.

1. A child CAN have too much fun.

2. The happiest place on earth on the first day can easily change to the grumpiest on the fourth.

3. The child-swap-pass and fast-pass are the best inventions since the coon tail hats.

4. Wagons are not allowed, no matter how far across the country you drag it.

5. Pluto doesn't like to be mistaken for Goofy (My wife's mistake).

6. The best thigh-master is lugging a loaded backpack and a tired two-year-old through Tarzan's Tree House.

7. The bathrooms ROCK! Clean, great soap, and stocked with ample supplies of TP, seat covers and changing station disposable pads!

8. Buzz Lightyear has to have African-American blood. That guy can dance!

9. A $2.50 wedge of watermelon seems like a steal on a hot day when you're junk-fooded out.

10. There are some truly ingenious imagineers behind the magic at Disneyland!
