FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Just a few months after Walt Disney World first opened to guests, my family hopped in the wood panel station wagon and took the endless journey down from Connecticut. The trip took many, many hours. I had my ipod and PSP to keep me entertained, except back then they were called “Coloring Book” and “Crayons.” That trip was long and boring, but it was the line of cars from the highway from the Magic Kingdom gate that really tried my patience. After a couple hours we finally passed through the gate into the parking lot. In the family wagon, surrounded by stale sandwiches, a game of “Chutes and Ladders,” as well as quarreling brother and sisters, I had my first experience of waiting in a line at Walt Disney World. I’ve been waiting in those Disney lines ever since.
