Peak Season

We are now into the full swing of the peak season at Walt Disney World.  Currently I am scheduled 21 days straight with no days off!  This is madness.  Magic Kingdom reached capacity today by 11:30 so the park closed for three hours until they started letting people in again.  It is spring break across the country, and not everyone has spring break at the same time so for about a month the lines are enormous here.  The ride the Dumbo the Flying Elephant was a two and a half hour wait today.  This place is a magnet for families from all over the world.  I can only imagine what that parent is thinking after they do all that traveling to finally get here, spent the money on tickets, and when they actually get to Magic Kingdom, its closed!  I am going to take a picture of these never ending lines to illustrate the absurdity of all of this.  At this time of year, the tourist really just ends up waiting in a bunch of different lines.  A line to purchase passes, a line to get in the park, a line to get on a ride, a line to grab a bite to eat, a line to use the restroom, line after line after line.  Patience is a virtue, but even Ghandi would have a problem with this scenario.  It is amazing to see though, and it is fun to be a part of it,but I just definitely would not want to be on the tourist end of things.
