You Would Think For The Price Of Admission You Could Stay Awake.
There are plenty of great things to photograph at Disney. You know like these type of things.

But I found something better. My 8 year old son and I were on a mission for ice cream. As we made our way through the crowd, I noticed something . . . something interesting . . . something strange . . . something quite funny! A whole family asleep on a bench. We stopped in our tracks. Time seemed to stand still. I immediately went for my camera in the Black Rapid R-Strap hanging on my right side, drew it to my face with haste and SNAP! I actually took more than one shot of them. Then 2 guys behind us started laughing. They asked "Do you even know those people?" "Nope", I replied. Which caused them to laugh even harder.
This was the beginning of a photo theme for my day. One might think that this family would be the only people sleeping in Epcot. One would be wrong. So just like you when you get a new car and you start to notice all of the other same cars on the road. We began to spot the sleepers. And I proceeded to photograph those dozers. I guess the happiest place on earth wore them out.
I love this one. Somehow her flip flops make it.

Do you really trust that no one is going to steal that backpack?
This guy I can relate to. Looks like a Dad who has just had enough.
I can't talk though, we had a snoozer in our ranks as well. She's awful cute though.

So thank you all of you unsuspecting sleepers. I pray your Disney dreams came true!
