Oh, this gave me a good laugh.
About 10 years ago before my husband and I had kids we went to WDW with his sister. We had such a blast. But one of the very first things we noticed was how stressed out some families become in "the happiest place on earth". This was best illustrated on a fairly small walkway somewhere in the MK where a Dad was on one side of the "street" and the wife with the three kids was on the other. There was hardly anyone around and they could not have been standing more than 15' from each other. They were arguing about something, that the mother wanted the father to take one of the kids somewhere so the dad yells to her "Send Trevor Over!" and all three kids start to go toward him when the dad goes ballistic and screams "NO....JUST TREVOR!!!!". It was so crazy.
At that moment my husband came up with a game called "Stress Factor 10" and for the rest of our trip to WDW he would randomly point our a family in stress and ask his sister and I to rate them on a scale of 1-10.
To this day we'll look at each other and say "NO! JUST TREVOR!"
So in April we are going there again with my SIL but now with her 3yo daughter and our 7 & almost 4 yo sons. Our whole goal is to never get over a stress factor of 4 on the trip.

(The show was one of those cook off dishes with Guy where TGI Friday sells the winning recipes. Sounded great and I want to eat there to order it.)
