I'm not admitting to any sort of shenanigans whatsoever, but LOOK! MILA HAS BEEN RIDING STUFF AT KENNYWOOD!
::cough::ahem::cough::
She didn't magically grow the half inch she needed to grow. Rather, there's a hole in the universe that I dove through because screw it. If companies want to create dumb rules and then fail to train their employees in the proper enforcement of those rules, fine. I can't make the entire world understand that good training leads to consistency and is a money-maker.
As you can well imagine, the magic that made all of this riding possible has Mila over-the-moon happy. She is OBSESSED with Kennywood. Every day there is a radio commercial that comes on for them and every day she yells, "KENNYWOOD IS OPEN! LET'S GO!" She does not understand that it is not a every day sort of thing.
She's lucky we have season passes so it can be an almost every weekend sort of thing.
So, shout out to the Disney Store for having the exact right accessory that made this all possible. And another shout out to the employees who don't care enough to catch on to that accessory.
Nobody tell them, internet. It's better this way.
Except for the part where going to Kennywood means we eventually have to leave Kennywood. The last time we did so, Mila spent the entire walk back to the car crying about "My Kennywood" and "My rides need me" and "We have to stay here because My Kennywood is still open."
It's her's. She has claimed it.
