You'd think amusement parks are all about the fun, but a place like Disney sneaks in the learning, too.
I visited the Hall of Presidents, and I said the Pledge of Allegiance with George Washington.

| I think he chose me because of the Montreal Canadiens cap. And I think the little fart is trying to steal my thunder. |
We learned about greenhouses and weird plants they used to get more veggies out of them, like tomato trees that produce more than 600 tomatos.
 |
| Disney. Inventing ways to feed the hungry and tired. Maybe they'll consider sharing this with the developing world. |
I learned which countries invented what...desserts.
 |
| Japan invented kaki gori - flavoured shaved ice. |
 |
| France invented pastries. Altogether now... "Thank you, France!" |
 |
| China invented red bean and strawberry ice cream. Not a combo Canadians are likely to come up with. |
 |
| This is Miyuki, a Japanese candy artist who made amazing lollipops out of hot sugar. How can you not love a country where this is a job? |
I visited Tom Sawyer Island, which
of course just brought to life the novel (thanks Mr Rutherford!)
You can find knowledge anywhere. Collect it and become smarter, don't just turn your back on it and ignore it.
