Well, yeah. The child doesn't need to know about anything else fun either....and then you don't even need to take them to Disneyland at all!

But there were rules and we followed them.

I'm sorry babe, but the idea of rules like these being kept on a vacation....a
Disney vacation....it's beyond my ken.

Now, the one teevee show a week rule was extreme. But not bedtime at that age. Not after a full day at the park with more fun than we could have ever imagined with mickey mouse pancakes and frozen bananas and dole whips and goodies galore.

So what's so horrible about staying up late? What damage would it have done to you? Yes, bedtime is important on school nights. But come on, tucking a child into bed before the fireworks even go off, simply because "that's the rule"? That's just sad in my book.

Although when I was a pre-teen, it *was* cruel and unusual punishment to make me go on the matterhorn with my brother. Ewww! How was I supposed to meet cute guys with my brother along?

Ok, everyone knows that's the absolute worst.
