I’ll make this short given my love for theme parks (no, I’m not serious)…
    Aaaah theme parks.  Screaming, never-seemingly satisfied children.  Parents that are exhausted both physically and financially.  Searing sun.  Long lines. No tranquilizers.  And that’s just Disneyworld in Orlando.
    The flowers are in bloom.  The people are nicer.  The weather is kinder.  The size is more manageable.  The rides are longer.  There’s medicinal weed. It’s California.  It’s Disneyland.  It’s well-organized…and I mean the other park, California Adventures is a one-minute walk away not a 45 minute commute like Disneyworld.  Heck, even Downtown Disney is a walk away instead of another drive.  Even the expensive food is tastier.  Disneyland is friendlier in every sense.  The lines might be longer, but they move in a more efficient manner.  The only complaint I have is that the Fast Pass for the major rides is exhausted within the first couple hours of the park opening.  
    If you have kids, you will probably have to go to some theme park throughout the course of their first eighteen years of life.  Most kids and parents will not have an agreement on theme parks like my parents and I did.  I was nine.  We were walking towards the exit at the end of my first time in DisneyWorld.  My mom turns to me, with a sympathetic hand on my shoulder, and said “I hope you enjoyed today because I don’t think we are ever coming back”.  I looked up at her with adoring eyes and said “Thank you”.  I knew that day while riding Big Thunder involuntarily, that theme parks were not for me.  However, chances are that if you have a kid, you will not be as lucky as my parents were.  If that’s the case, I hope you live in or near California and can take them to DisneyLand.  And if you live in or near Florida, as I do, then I’m sorry…just get the time-share now because you will be in Orlando’s DisneyWorld nearly every summer, wondering how this all happened, and my answer to you: no birth control is how it happened.
