Traumatizing pre-schoolers: Or Reverse Beatlemania

The show started off normal, they did these annoying cheers and whanot. The crowd cm's got everyone worked up with, "Are you ready to see Mickey, Handy Manny, Little Einsteins, My Friends Tigger and PooH!!!!???!!!

Pandemonium.

Children taking off their diapers and throwing them towards the stage.

"Casey" the MC of the show comes out, acts like a children's television twit, and lets everyone know that it's Minnie's Birthday and we are going to make a surprise.

Then the puppets and the stage all broke.

"Casey" tells everyone it will just take a minute, and leads us in some more mania inducing cheers about how kick butt this is going to be.

The Puppets come back on: Sing one song, and introduce Handy Manny.

Everything breaks again.

Without a moment of hesitation, "Casey" says, "Well, folks, come back and see us again when Handy Manny and all the gang is ready!", and SPRINTS OFF STAGE.

The crowd control CM's are freaking out, "Everyone exit to the right, there has been a malfunction, if you have any questions, please visit a cast member."

Meanwhile, EVERY child from the age of 1-6 inside that show is now crying hysterically. And loudly. And whining and dropping to the floor, and tantrumming.

It was really something to see.

I was torn between pity and laughter.

I think this could become a must see attraction if it continues to break down like this, if only for the people-watching sadistic aspect.

Mr. F, I do not know why you ever decided to work at Disneyland. I am not going to get in the "kids are stupid" debate again since I have already rgued that with you. I am going to say that someone that feels the way do about Disneyland should never have applied for a job there. One would assume that you were aware that a large (probably the majority) of the people you wold be dealing with would be kids. Seems like a very odd career choice for one that obviously does not like or understand them.

It helped that I've got a fresh cocktail in my hand as I read that, but still. Thank you for that.
