I am so tired and overstimulated by reading this. And it's also incredibly entertaining.

You are a gift, Sara!

My brother and his family live in Orlando, so when our daughter was 5, we planned a visit to take her to Disney. My brother said “leave the planning to me, we do Disney a lot, we know all the tricks.”

And what were “the tricks”?

1-Know someone that can get guest passes for free or a discounted rate.

2-Never wait in a line. Just walk up the lightning pass lane confidently like you have the pass. 99% of the time, they waved us through. The 1% that stopped us were charmed by my brother saying “it’s my birthday (this was true) and my niece’s first time at Disney. Please?”

3- Pack your own food and drink in the stroller.

That’s it. Use your white man privilege and good looks and connections. A lot like real life. My rule-following self felt bad going along with it….but also…did it anyway. 😬
