Beanma, I'm only thinking of scenarios where a kid attended this park at least periodically in the past. For instance, my son has been going to DisneyLand since he was born. He'll be ten next year. I would absolutely let him and a...

Philo, I wish it were that easy! She got *pissed* at me when I told her we should just skip it. Sigh. I just don't know how to help her. I think if she brings it up again, instead of making lots of suggestions, I'm just going to try...
