Some observations....No this is more like a rant.

While I was at Disneyland last night (it's sooooo pretty at Christmas time!!) I was reminded of a few things.
1. I really don't like being in large groups of people. It just realllly bugs me.
2. I don't really walk super fast or anything, but when I'm restricted by people walking slow, I want to walk fast. Does that make sense?
3. I HATE it when people stand in the middle of a main walk-way and try to decide if they want to wait 45 minutes to go on a ride...Move out of the freaking way!! There are 10,000 people wanting to walk right through here!! That reallllly bugs me.
4. If you're going to Disneyland you should be in a good mood. If you're fighting with your significant other, or you're just a jerk...please don't come to Disneyland, and if you do come to Disneyland, do not be mean to innocent fun loving people! (Yes, there is story behind this...I'll get to that in a minute.)
5. If you're an employee in a store, please do not practice your Cheerleading moves while I am in the store. (Yes, there is a story behind this too.)
6. It's really the company that you're in that makes or breaks any place that you go. ( I believe in this very firmly)
7. Thunder Mountain is more fun with your eyes closed. (It really is.)

So quick story about the meanest person to ever sit in a teacup. So there we were, having a good time at the "happiest place on earth"... Looking at the overly lit "it's a small world"...having a jolly little time, when we decide to venture through the heart of Fantasyland. As we pass the teacups we see a stationary teacup near the teacup ride. The purpose of this teacup is to sit in it and take pictures...it's a community teacup. You hop in and take a picture and you hop out. Nobody gets to sit in it all day...it's a photo opportunity. So just as we decide to take a picture this terribly, miserable, unhappy couple gets into the teacup. Now mind you, it looked like they were moving into the place, and weren't planning on getting up anytime soon. So, I took it upon myself to ask them if we could just hop in really quick to get a photo. I was literally being sooooo nice! I kinda bent down and smiled and did my best nice girl voice, ohhh they were soooo not having it. Let me just say that If looks could KILL!...i'da been a goner for sure!! This chick was a beast. Seriously. The look on her face was so mean!! I kinda knew going into it that it might not have been a positive situation, but was the meanness really necessary? There are a million other unhappy places to sit and be miserable. But a teacup? A teacup is fun...and you should be happy when you're sitting in one. I mean how often do you get to do that? So anyway, she kinda mutters "sure" and they begrudgingly get out of the teacup and let us in. By this time, I can feel her casting some sort of evil spell on us as she watches us try to take the picture...I'm getting upset that she is so rude and it's so dark that the my camera had to do this flashy thing to try and focus...I didn't give the picture enough time to focus because I thought she was going to go crazy on us. Yeah, so we didn't get the picture. Argh! We just got out of the teacup as to not disturb the unhappy couple anymore. I didn't even say thank you...I was too scared. I've never experienced such unhappiness at "the happiest place on earth".

As for the cheerleading while at work story. Suffice it to say...there were no girls practicing their moves...and let me tell you that these fellows were taking their cheering very seriously. I mean really, I came into a store the sells candles and other cute stuff, and you're getting your "cheer on" in the middle of the place? Yeah, it was pretty ridiculous.

Oh, and there was this one lady who referred to her grandson as the "spawn of satan."
Not totally sure if she was kidding or not.

It was still a total blast though. That's why number 6 (above) is very true.
