The Surge

Probably my least favorite part of a Disney day is being stuck in the surge. Whether it's at the beginning of the day or the end (but especially at the end), getting stuck in the mob of people herding their way toward the exits leads me to be entirely on edge. Tempers are usually running high. People, like the little girl in the foreground of this picture, are often exhausted. Strollers are pushed with no regard for the ankles and heels of those in the immediate vicinity. It is utter chaos.

Which is why I love the sight of those balloons. Once again, they just bring me back. It makes the disorder a lot more tolerable.
