So, Nekojin and I decided to take a trip back to Disneyland last night to catch the fireworks. If I had known that yesterday was a holiday (I could write an epic on Fratching about the individual in question), I would seriously have considered putting off our next trip.
So, it's a holiday, and they're running a stripped down weekend schedule, with the fireworks show, Fantasmic!, and all the rest. We've been there a while and get a pretty nice spot to watch the fireworks. Once that's done with, we head over to Adventureland. Or, at least, we try to.
Due to the crowds they get for the fireworks show and for Fantasmic!, they have a lot of special pathing they set up to help ease congestion. However, making people who want to get to Adventureland go into Frontierland and go all the way down to the lake, with a string of attendants, and then going around a planter to go all the way back to where you started, only on the other side of a long row of benches, seems to be notably counter-productive.
Needless to say, I'm not the only one who thinks so, or I wouldn't be writing this post.
So, we've gone all the way down, and are most of the way back, when I spot a small group of people having "words" with one of the hapless herders, a young kid standing on a bench with a wand to direct traffic.
So, because I'm a nosy individual, and because I want to cheer the guy up, I wander over and let him know that even if the whole process is annoying, it's no reason for them to get into it with him 'cause it's not like he can really do anything about it. Turns out that in addition to some lovely criticism from the group, the lady also flipped him off as a parting shot.
He did tell me that people like me made it worth it, so that was worth a few warm fuzzies.
As an added bonus, by that point the only person not in a good mood was the lady who ranted at him in the first place.

How could anyone be so mean and angry at the happiest place on earth?
