Listener Feedback on “Don’t Waste Your Time”
Patti chimed in with a very good answer: “I have nothing. We always try to check everything out and experience different things we haven't before.”
Debbie said: “We do everything and hate missing anything. FYI: I forgot ..we don't do everything in The Circus area.”
Pam has a very well thought out answer: “The tea cups. They look fun. I want to like them but they make me nauseous.”
Sheila and Chrissy have the same thought: “Waiting in line!”
Lastly, Pam sent us an E-MAIL!!! Yay Pam! Here’s what she wrote: “Hey all. Really enjoyed the show and it gave me a few new things to think about. I have to add this though. Don't waste your time laying in bed in the morning! Set that alarm on the phone in your room and let Mickey wake you up. Get up, get out, get to rope drop. It really can make a difference. You can nap later in the day or when you get home from your vacation. But take advantage of the early morning admission time and get out there and have fun! Mike, I know we've talked about this before. I can't stand to waste my morning time at Disney. I'm raring and ready to get going in the morning. Just ask my 2 teenage granddaughters I had to "drag out of bed" last year when we took them for our girls trip. No many how many times I go, I can't help myself from the go go go in the morning mentality. Keep up the great work.

A little bit of Walt
“The immediate need for education and practice in using our natural resources of soil, forest, water, wildlife, and areas of inspirational beauty to the best advantage of all, for this generation and others to come, is again apparent to every observant citizen. My interest in these problems has been sharpened by our motion-picture production of wildlife subjects and the relation of animal life to all the other conservation issues during the past few years.”- Walt Disney
