I seen a peanut stand / And heard a rubber band /I’ve seen a needle that winked its eye / But I been done seen about everything / When I see an elephant fly (from Dumbo)

Yep, we been done seen Disneyland.

The proper Disney headgear is giant round mouse ears. These ears will protect one from all dangers in the park. Unfortunately, they do not increase one’s ability to hear.

Disney Imagineers created the above rock formation that is supposed to represent Yosemite or Yellowstone or Rocky Mountain National Park or  anything else in America that has jutting rocks.  They also designed the rocks to magically resemble a wolf’s head.  Make no mistake, these Imagineers are very dangerous people.

Upon completion of each ride, Disney dumps you into a consumer frenzy. My son escaped this one by climbing to the last patch of snow in California and joining the friendliest creature among the hordes, a snowboarding bear.

Disney is a land ruled by goofy animals with a strange obsession for safety. Yet here, should we really be taking safety cues from a giant bear who holds his kerosene lamp so near his inflatable raft?
