Things In Ferris Bueller's Day Off You Only Notice As An Adult

Ferris and his buds pack a whole lotta livin' into that one day off from school. But did they really have enough time to experience it all? Let's break it down.

Figuring in the amount of time Ferris spends at home waiting for Cameron to finally come and fetch him, plus the effort it takes to cook up the elaborate scheme to get Sloane out of Mr. Rooney's lair, we have to imagine it's at least 10AM by the time our heroes are off to Chicago. They manage to park the car, visit the top floor of the Sears tower, discuss life while traders and brokers make and lose millions at the Chicago Board of Trade...and that's all before their fancy lunch at Ferris' dad's favorite restaurant, Chez Quis.

After lunch they take in a Cubs game at Wrigley field, admire fine art at the Art Institute of Chicago, and cap off their time in the city with a ride on a Van Steuben Day Parade float. Then it's a leisurely drive to the beach where they attempt to console a distraught Cameron, take him back to his house for a soak in the pool, and only then begin the arduous task of taking the excess miles off the Ferrari. One dead car later, along with Cameron's teen catharsis, Ferris drops Sloane at home, and begins the race back to the Bueller house to greet his family at 6PM.

And they did this all without Uber?
