We just spent an amazing 2 week vacay at Disneyland. But I felt so sad every time I saw people with their faces stuck to their phones instead of looking around, being in the moment or GASP...talking to the people they came with!! Some sad examples was a Dad with his daughter on the teacups and he was on his phone while she looked sad/bored. Another time we watched a boy ahead of us playing on the ropes be told by a cast member to stop, he continued and fell off on his back hitting is head, the Mom didn't even bother to look up from her phone but dug in her bad and handed him a lollipop and told him to hush
. In lines parents/kids were texting, playing games, etc instead of being with each other.
I don't get it. I like my phone and its convenient, but I love my family and time/life is short. Yes I brought my phone on vacay and checked it every night for messages..but it stayed at the hotel!
So please put away your phones, if you must check for line times do it quickly and then put it away. Talk to your kids, play games together, hold hands and talk with your partner, be in the moment. Take it in, you can't get it back.![Title :love: :love:](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/love01.gif)
