Attraction in Disney's California Adventure theme park was too severe. Disney has a small sign to alert parents that this attraction may be too intense for some children, and I highly advise parents to heed this warning. As a child care provider, teacher, and mother, I strongly disagree with Richard. In fact, I think that many people who bring their children to Disney parks would probably disagree as well. Heck, even the Disney marketing department would also disagree.
Young children are concrete thinkers.
This means that they don't distinguish between real and pretend. The Princess they met at Disneyland last weekend was not a senior at UC Irvine trying to support herself by working at the park, but the actual girl who rode on a magic carpet with Aladdin, or the book-loving, village girl who taught Beast how to love. To Be a Bug show and Barney, the big friendly purple dinosaur in his own TV show. Yes, there are physical differences between Barney and insects, but there are some profound differences. One of the show's main characters is Hopper, the main nemesis in the original movie.
