- The Pooh ride is scary
- It's A Small World is too loud
- You have to wait in line
She talked about it for weeks: the trip, meeting the characters, seeing the castle. And even more interesting, she played it for weeks. We set up boats and sang the Small World song. Her "buddies" got in the bus and drove to Disneyland. Her bath toys got in plastic tubs and floated down river.
But best of all was the waiting in line. Remi and I waited in line. Remi's buddies waited in line. Remi's bath toys waited in line. The rides themselves were pretty short--the focus, seemingly, was waiting in line. And there was no resentment about it, no impatience. It was fun. Everybody was having a good time. And when each toy reached the front of the line, it returned, uncomplaining, to the back of the line.
And though the waiting sometimes culminated in a ride, it never culminated in the Pooh ride, because the Pooh ride is scary.
