How to Express Admiration

Not to mention the subterranean city hidden beneath the Magic Kingdom.

I once had two middle-aged men walk up to me while I was working in one of the parks and ask me to solve an argument for them. One of the men said that he had heard there was an extensive tunnel system under the Magic Kingdom.

The other guy said, “No, there isn’t.”

I said, “There is.”

The first guy said, “I told you.”

The second guy said, “No, there isn’t.”

I said, “I’ve been in it, more than once.”

The second guy said, “You’re lying.”

I don’t have a lot of faith left in mankind’s ability to settle our differences.

How to Plan a Group Vacation

In a group vacation, it doesn’t matter how many members of the party are planners, how much thought they’ve all put into the plan, or how enthusiastically everyone agrees to the plan. It only takes one member of the group to be a play-it-by-ear type to completely derail the plan and force everyone else to play it by ear with them.

Want to see this in action? Go to the Target store near the main entrance to Walt Disney World some morning at about the time the parks open. You will see multiple clusters of frustrated looking people with one member of their group saying that they’re “just popping in” for sunscreen, ponchos, and “while I’m here, I’ll take a quick look at the sweatshirts.”
