Synopsis:

Spoiler:
"Disneyland" - Nothing is more quintessential to good ol' family fun than a trip to Disneyland -- but not without a side of motion sickness, achy feet and a wayward toddler -- when the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan hits the park! Phil tries to keep up with Luke, Claire's shocked when they run into Dylan, Jay and Gloria disagree about what are sensible shoes for the day, and Mitch and Cam must contain Lily's new affinity for running, on "Modern Family," WEDNESDAY, MAY 9 (9:00-9:31 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.


Episode 22 of 24

Dylan always bring the funny. The Little John bit was hilarious.

I loved the bit about Mitchell and Claire making fun of Jay for crying during the Lincoln show when they were kids, and then he revealed why he was crying.

And Phil trotting after Luke, but reeling to one side.

I always love when sitcoms go to theme parks. I loved the Brady Bunch episodes at King's Canyon.

I love how Jay compared his marriage to the infamous Pirates ride segment, and that it was that ride that convinced him to get a divorce, while Lincoln convinced him to stay.

Manny as the least happiest kid in Disneyland.

Luke continued his hatred of Lily. "Have fun on the tea cups Lily!"

Mitchell losing it when he noted the guy with the socks and flip flops (a personal peeve of mine) was spot on.

the end was very touching

I loved this episode but am sick of Dylan. He made me laugh but I don't care for the character in more than small doses.

Loved the ending. The whole episode was funny and touching.

Dylan's awesome. I wish he'd join the case permanently.

Phil was the best, as usual.

Put me in the sick of Dylan camp even though he wasn't on most of the season. He's a one note character who's schtick got old a season ago. Hated every scene with him in this one.

Ty Burrell makes the show. Him running while dizzy was hysterical.

I never seem too excited to watch this on my DVR, but it always seems to deliver laughs. The jokes come off one after the other. Luke is becoming my favorite character on the show. Weird.

I know, I remember when everyone here thought Luke was the worst character on the show. Now it seems like the opposite!

Early in the series Luke's line deliveries were off and he seemed to over-annunciate the words - plus they made the character really dumb, which was overkill as Haley was also dumb. His character's been changed to a crafty genius (for a kid his age) while still keeping him sweet. This change made all the difference.

As weird as this may sound, I really liked the PDA by Gloria and Jay in this episode. It was sweet.

Glad to hear Sarah Hyland is ok. She recently got a liver transplant from her father: http://www.azcentral.com/ent/celeb/a...in-kidney.html

Great episode. I think Dylan is hilarious, and was glad to see him back. What I found really funny was how Mitchell kept saying "town" as if it were "ton", a reference to the great Donwton Abbey. I was cracking up at that. LOVED the leash. Didn't so much like Manny.

They seemed to love everything about Disneyland and had nothing to be critical about or poke fun at. I thought Disneyland was an easier target for sitcoms than that?

Since Disney owns ABC, my guess is the writers weren't too eager to poke fun at their overlords.

I knew I was a serious Disney nerd when Luke went to run to Space Mountain after Big Thunder and went the wrong way.

Didn't they remark how expensive the food is there? Claire was trying to get them to eat up before they went to the park.

They also had Dylan speaking in character. That's a big no-no.
