My Stride and Crowds

I was reminded of this post that I had planned on doing while walking with my mom.

When we were in Disney, we did a lot of walking.  I'm good at getting through crowds, and tended to leave the group behind, when I knew where I was going.  Anyway, as we were trying to stay together through a big parade, I tried matching Grecian Girl's pace.  Right, left, right, left.  Nope, that didn't work.  I left her way behind.  My stride is absolutely huge.

I am 5'7" with very long legs.  I never realized how very big my stride is. 

I have nothing more to say on the topic of my stride, so I'm going to go into why I'm good at slipping through crowds.

First off, I am not apologetic.  I am going to get where I need to go.  I am NOT going to wait for every single person who needs to cross, sorry, but I paid to come here.  I'm not going to push someone over, but don't expect me to crawl like a turtle just so everyone can get their way.  Nuh-uh.  That ain't how WDW works.

Secondly, I am relatively small.  Relatively being the key word.  I'm hardly a mouse, but I'm not struggling to get through doorways, if you know what I mean.  I can get through smaller openings than some can. 

Thirdly, I do not get nearly as hot as others.  It doesn't slow me down.  I had expected to be very very hot at WDW, but it really wasn't that bad.  Maybe it's because I am used to the heat, maybe it's because I just don't get that hot while I'm walking, but I really didn't get too terribly hot.

So now you know about my stride and my ability to slip through crowds.  Whoop-de-doo.
