Arson. We had entered Worlds of Fun, intent on catching the 6 p.m. “Squawk the Bird Show” performance, when my cell phone rang with the news that our house was on fire. So we never saw the show that day. Aug. 6, 2024
Fast-forward 10 months. Attempting to recover, we had no funds for season passes — 2025 would have been our 25th consecutive year — when an anonymous donor gave us funds earmarked to purchase season passes and a dining plan.
To celebrate we decided to catch the 6 p.m. “Squawk the Bird Show” performance on our first day back in 2025. This time we were able to get to the restaurant, pick up our food, and sit down at the stage to watch the show. But we were given the wrong dipping sauce for our chicken tenders. My attempt to go back and get the right sauce ended with staff members cursing and yelling at me, threatening the KCPD, and being walked out of the park by security and the KCPD. Instead of letting me sit and quietly watch the show, they had to interrupt the show and other guests by insisting that I had to stop being a disturbance — though how sitting there doing nothing was a disturbance, I have no idea.
Or rather I do, because THEY made it one.
