The following paraghraphs were pulled from a news story on CNN.COM talking about Disney cruises and how they are so successful.
Of course, vacationing with young children isn't always a vacation for parents. Just ask Ethan and Hannah's parents, Mike and Jayme Sitzman. No one wants to get up to take a child to the bathroom three times before the main course is served! But the families that recently cruised aboard the Wonder for three days agree that Disney Cruise Line does all it can to ensure that the more than 1,000 kids onboard, 45 percent of them seven and younger -- as well as the parents and grandparents have as stress free a getaway as possible.
They congregate at one of the three pools -- did I mention it is shaped like Mickey Mouse ears -- where there is a water play area just for toddlers, a water slide, an ice cream stand, another for fruit and yet another for chicken fingers, pizza and burgers most of the day and evening. "I'm even relaxed watching the kids at the pool," laughs Kalen Walker, cruising with her 7 and 5 year olds. "This really works."

Congregate means to come together in a group. Well one time when i was little i was told to comgregate by the sidewalk at a certain time and then we would leave. Well i didnt know what congregate meant so when everybody went there i was lost. I didn't know what to do.
