This month at the Magic Kingdom, my family discovered routine two-hour wait times for both the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Peter Pan’s Flight. You can barely take three steps in any direction without bumping into a little kid racing along giddily to the next attraction. The fine-dining establishment in the fairy-tale castle, Cinderella’s Royal Table, where a bottle of Dom Perignon costs $320, has been booked up for months.

Why would ANYONE want to experience this horror, let alone shell out thousands for it? I'd rather take my kids out to the wilderness, to camp, hike, fish and shoot.

Because it's extraordinarily entertaining....if you plan well.

“I’d rather take my kids out to the wilderness, to camp, hike, fish and shoot.”

You’re a good parent. Instead of being mindlessly entertained, your children will learn skills, self reliance, & how to think independently outside of the common `culture’.

I can do both by camping at Knoebels Amusement Resort in Pennsylvania. Its like stepping back in time. Very affordable, clean, and not too much diversity in the form of burka wearers or MS13 types.
