In reading many of tonight's posts, it is clear to me that SLATE has misspent corporate funds by sending an uninformed reporter with a biased eye for "magic". My husband and I are veterans of multiple trips with large groups of kids and just as the older adult couple alone. We choose to spend much of all our visits engagedin conversations with cast members and other guests. We always seem to run into someone we know from home at the park. We pin trade and get autographs (still). We are surprised Seth totally failed to mention any of the fabulous live performances and the parades. How sad!

I am holding out hope that I can fill in for the Fairy Godmother on her off day when my hair turns white enough! Thanks Disney - it remains a blast to travel to your facilities. If a guest has a bad or boring time, it is pretty much their own darn fault.
