You don't need to check it. Cause I'm a big dork.

To all who come to this happy place, welcome. Disneyland is your land, here age relives fond memories of the past and youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America, with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.

And yes, that's from memory.

Don't be too impressed. It's in the firework show and I've probably seen the show at least 200 times (okay, more heard than seen, since I stopped watching it long ago) and that is all in the show.

good memory.

But yes the "age relives fond memories..." comes before "Youth may savor the challenge..." and both are equally stressed. So from the beginning (literally) the park(s) are dedicated to everyone of every age. Not just children or even families. Everyone.

And those MiM's programming morons removed that speech from the public service announcements. What a loss that is. To remove Walt for a generic welcome or happy birthday. :mad:

[font="Comic Sans MS"]On the subject of cutting lines, I can't remember if I told this on this forum or not. If I did then just skip over...a few weeks ago I was at WDW. We were nearing the front of the Q for Soarin'. I don't remember now how many seats there are across, but I did know at the time. After some quick calculation, I determined that based on the numbers in front of us, our party would be able to ride in the front row. No feet hanging down in front. Yippie! The CM was standing there waiting for the modular Q's to clear when the group in front of us told her that there were a group of people about 50 ft back that they wanted to ride with. To my amazement she told them, "OK, we will just leave that many spaces open in your row so they can join you when they get down here.

I couldn't believe that the CM basically ignored our hopes and did an authorized "cut", with these people. Now if the fall of the line would have made it so we weren't able to ride the front row, I wouldn't have been concerned at all. I would have just gone into line #2 and enjoyed the ride. Due to the fact that I was losing my favorite spot because the CM let them get in front of us, was a different story.

I didn't go ballistic or even get angry, I just decided that I wanted a front row seat and when we got to the inner Q, I just said that I preferred the front row and that these people cutting ahead had taken that away from me and I wanted to go into the front row of the next inner Q. They agreed and we got in line #1 there instead. I know it had a happy ending. No one was yelled at or harassed, and I got what I wanted, but, I still am in amazement that it even went down that way.[/font]

At rock n' roller coaster, that happened all the time. A more aggressive group would rush to the front of the line coming out of the preshow and would get up to me at the grouping position. They'd then indicate that they were riding with "those people back there." I always made them wait until "those people back there" caught up then sorted them into rows together. Some of the more aggressive ones we made wait until the very end of the line of people coming out of the preshow (including those that "escaped" the preshow early to try to get ahead of everyone else).

I've never understood those who push and shove their way out of RNRC - it loads really fast most of the time, so you are gonna push people over to get on the ride what, a minute or two sooner?

Of course, don't you know that extra minute or two is gold, especially if you can grab it away from some family from Des Moines who have never been to Disney. It makes you the big man (or woman, or SG) on campus! :mad:
