I've returned from a day Disneyland yesterday with my fellow co-workers. While navigating through the park I noticed a handful of readers passing the time in the epic long lines. I spotted a mother reading aloud to her young son and daughter in line for Space Mountain. The book? Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. It was really sweet to see the mother taking this time to read to her children and help draw her children's attention away from the long wait.
Near this mother was a man with a travel book entitled Kalifornie (California travel book in Czech). Behind him was a man reading a script.
Maneuvering through the crowds setting up camp before the light show in New Orleans Square on my way to the Haunted Mansion I noticed a woman leaning up against a rail, reading a roman novel of sorts. I could not make out the title but did see the man with the bare chest and flowing hair holding a voluptuous coquette in his arms.
Good to see people thinking ahead. I, on the other hand, left my book at home so I resorted to good ol' conversation with my friend while queued up.
Do you remember to bring a book to amusement parks?
