I knew right away it wasn't Disney, because of the plethora of benches! Love the natural rock formation of the bridge -- nature is amazing.

In grammar school it was about 35 or more, but it was watched over and taught by Nuns with very hard wooden rulers and bad attitudes I believe caused by wimples that were way to tight. (plus a very strong hatred of deodorant) The good old days.

Spoiler: Full Disclosure...

I can't tell you about 1st grade because I couldn't count yet. This was well before kindergartens and Sesame Street. I refused to learn anything before I started school and very little after.

Guess I lucked out -- our nuns were nice.

They were always nicer to the girls. But, that is the way it was through out school. They were always the ones that did their homework, got higher grades, sat quietly and followed directions. It wasn't fair I tell ya! After 1st grade, where I went to school, the boys and girls were in separate classrooms through 12th grade so my guess is that the nuns were angry that they had to deal with a classroom full of nothing but boys. We constantly heard about how smart and well behaved that they were compared to us.

However, @MinnieM123 to be fair after 6th grade we were taught by the order of the "Brothers of Christion Instruction". Fortunately, after 9th grade my family moved from New York State to Vermont where I went to Public High School. However, the three years that the "Brothers" were teaching made the nuns seem like Mother Teresa.

Girls develop their brain power at an earlier age, than the boys!

We won't be going to Disney again until we have a grandchild. Sometime down the road.

Looks like a nice day and a great place. In the second picture there sure are a lot of benches there, is there an area there for performances or some sort of show?

It was not for a show. There is no stage. I was wondering the same thing when I was there. POSSIBLY they have large group tours there? Then those tours can sit in one spot and hear a lecture from the tour guide?
