On the other hand, the monsters and special effects at Disney's Hollywood Studi-
os seem more real and sinister than those in the other theme parks. If your child has
difficulty coping with the ghouls of The Haunted Mansion, think twice about expos-

One reader tells of taking his preschool children on Star Tours:
We took a 4-year-old and a 5-year-old, and they had the *^%#! scared out of them at
Star Tours. We did this first thing in the morning, and it took hours of Tom Sawyer
Island and Small World to get back to normal
.
Our kids were the youngest by far in Star Tours. I assume that other adults had
more sense or were not such avid readers of your book. Preschoolers should start
with Dumbo and work up to the Jungle Cruise in late morning, after being revved
up and before getting hungry, thirsty, or tired. Pirates of the Caribbean is out for
preschoolers. You get the idea.

your young children. Be sensitive, alert, and prepared for practically anything, even
