"We are not a ride family"

This is what I heard when I was talking to a family planning a Disney vacation.  My thoughts immediately went to "what do you mean, you are not a ride family"?  So what if you have kids who don't ride roller coasters or thrill- seeking rides?  What if you have a family member, like me, who escapes through the chicken door?  (They really do call it that)  Can your trip to Disney Parks be just as magical?  You bet!
