Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

What I like about these photos is that nearly every person in a posed photo of a group is smiling. That is a strong statement about where all of these pictures are. Where else do you see photos from a specific area where everyone is smiling? It's not an event, it's a place. Everyone is happy, enjoying themselves and are smiling.
As I thought of an answer to my question about where else can one go to see this, I thought Disney? No, not even Disney. Besides places like the bdub, I think it would be very few places.
