Modern Family to take a Disneyland vacation

Will Modern Family meet Mickey? TV Guide Following their trips to Hawaii and a dude ranch, Modern Family's next family outing will take the whole Pritchett/Dunphy/Delgado/Tucker gang to the happiest place on Earth. Disneyland, part of the ABC/Disney family, is being eyed as a shooting location for an episode to air during May sweeps.

I thought it was neat too but poor planning on everyone's part to be filming on leap year! I thought how silly to pick that day, when crowds would be crazy.

They took over rides multiple times. And blocked, literally blocked, pathways. As in, you couldn't pass. Which I would only minimally mind on a normal day, but it was a promotional and at times crowded day. And they drew crowds, so if they weren't blocking the path, the crowds were. They really should have chosen a different day. Also, just cuz you're a celebrity doesn't mean you can not watch where you're going.
