So, do not be discouraged, pull out your phone and play Charades with the other guests in line or go old school and actually talk to strangers. Shucks, everyone’s wearing those dumb hats for a reason! Have fun. If you open up your hearts, YOU can become part of the magic and be a new friend’s favorite memory of the Park!
