Driving ten hours to Disney for my 22nd birthday was a big reminder for the importance of media. We definitely made use of music. It was positive mood management when we were all getting cramped and crabby. We also used it as background noise. Finally it was a distraction to help us stay awake!!
I think we only turned off music for 30 mins of the ten hour drive.
Finally my friend almost forgot her phone. When I mentioned that it was good she noticed right away so she could run back for it, her response was so typical of society. She said can you even have fun? How can you last without pictures, snapchat, Instagram? It made me think of how much we use our phones for purposes other then typical communication.
Maybe I will post disney pictures next time!

Oh goodness yes! Disney music is so emotional and exhilarating to listen to but more than anything sing-along with. We were allowed to listen to it when I was a missionary, but only when we traveled - which was always a big deal, I'm talking 16 hour trips at times. Yeah, I served in the 2nd largest mission in the world, British Columbia, and we used every form of transportation: bike, car, van, truck, plane, train, boat, and fairy. And if it wasn't for the Disney music (and other spiritual music for variety, such as Motab, and Enya, lol, yet mostly Disney) I would have went nuts. Thank goodness they produce wonderful tunes
