THIS.I hate disneyword/land and every time I'm dragged there I'm in constant amazement of the families you see there who are spending way beyond their means to go there because it's what they're supposed to do. A right of passage of sorts. What Walt created is evil genius but damn. You can take a family of four to Hawaii for a week for the price of 3 days at Disneyland when you factor in admission, parking, concessions, souvenirs, etc. I'm also amazed at the local season pass holders, I'd rather go to the dentist. And only fat chicks have Disney tattoos.
I just really don't fcking get it.
I know people who "can't afford to travel" but they're at Disneyland/world with 3 fvcking kids 5 times a year for multiple days and staying at nice resorts, eating in the park, and buying plenty of booze and souvenirs. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
IMO it's practically child abuse to deprive a kid of real travel and blow it all on Disney theme parks. I know kids who go regularly and it's the only vacation they've ever been on.
Weirder is people who don't have kids but go on a regular basis as well. Adults with no kids and they're season pass holders. WTF.
As a kid I went once when I was 8, another time when I was 12. Did not see what the big deal was and the rides were lacking in intensity.
Was given free passes so went another time when I was 23 or 24 and I had horrible gas that made me gag - spent the day silently ripping the most disgusting farts in line - had people retching. Most fun I ever had at Disney.
