Re: Disney on a Dime on The Travel Channel

good. Information never changes human behavior.

Sure it does. That's how parenting works! :-)

I didn't see Disney on a Dime :-( but I think I would have been a little
surprised to see behavior we all pretty much know is a no-no, getting a
thumbs-up. It's not as though anyone believes that no one ever jumps on
the beds; it's just that showing it on the program is surprising because
that gives it the air of being acceptable. If you've never seen it
legitimized like that, you might let the kids jump on the bed a little bit
but keep it to just a few moments and maybe feel a little guilty about it.
Seeing it on a show about WDW, you might then think, Hey, no problem;
everyone does it. Might as well let my kids go crazy with it.
