How To Bribe Kids With Six Flags & Poutine On World Tours
After dragging her kids through 24 countries, museums, palaces, and camel rides, Jamie Davis Smith admits the real MVP of international travel is amusement parks. Her gaggle didn’t just beg to revisit the same Six Flags under new flags in Quebec — complete with mountains of local poutine and fireworks — but insisted on Tokyo Disney's Tower of Terror and Osaka's anime-themed Universal Studios to reboot their patience. Despite her 'reluctance,' swapping Versailles for roller coasters has become the secret sauce to surviving family vacations. Oh, and apparently, McDonland's in India and playgrounds in Austria are the international peace treaties she needs.

When your kids'd rather queue for French poutine at La Ronde than stare at Versailles, it’s official: global culture now comes with roller coasters and bucket-sized junk food. Parenting international MVP move? Theme parks, not time machines.
Apparently the key to world peace (at least with kids) is bribery involving popcorn buckets 10x larger but replaced with local gravy cheese fries in Quebec. Next stop: Peace Treaties at Disney and Universal, just with a side of camels and castles.
Who knew the cure for children’s existential dread about art is a good Tower of Terror drop in Tokyo? Museums and palaces are sweet, but Disneyland Paris' crepes are the real visa to family joy.
