You’re bound to hear about this sooner or later if you haven’t already. Disneyland is rehabbing the “It’s a Small World After All” ride because boats keep getting stuck going through it. The reason would seem obvious — Americans are getting so overweight, they’re causing the boats to bottom out on the ride. But Disney doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

The boats get stuck because “layers and layers” of fiberglass have built up where maintenance teams have patched and re-patched problem areas, said Disneyland Resort spokesman Bob Tucker.

Sure. There’s a reason they call it Fantasyland, I suppose.

If I were Disney, I wouldn’t worry about hurting our feelings. Considering there’s a “Fat Lady’s Guide to Disneyland,” I would venture to say our expanding waistlines are second only to our overdeveloped self-esteem.
