David W. Edgerton is the winner of multiple creative excellence awards including Emmy Awards, ADDYs and New York Festivals.

After earning my degree in film and television production, I brought my love of visual entertainment and production experience to the field of advertising where I am a writer and brand strategist.

A self-described Disneyland fanatic and frequent visitor to the California resort, I wrote Tear-Free in Disneyland after fulfilling dozens of requests from other parents for tips, tricks and advice to make the most of their time in the theme park.

Even more importantly, parents wanted to know how to avoid the trip-spoiling tears, meltdowns and tantrums that seem such a common occurrence at "The Happiest Place on Earth."

After interviewing other Disneyland guests, parents, child behavior specialists and Disneyland Cast Members, I created Tear-Free in Disneyland. Part travel guide and part parental handbook, Tear-Free in Disneyland offers a detailed descriptions of every attraction at Disneyland Park and California Adventure plus gentle advice and step-by-step instructions to anticipate, avoid and quickly fix tearful situations.

Readers will also find useful tips to help them find the right accommodations, select family-friendly dining options, save time, money and more.

After all, every kid deserves a tear-free trip to Disneyland – even the grownup ones.
