And she wasn’t alone, because I seem to recall a lot of cranky parents kind of losing it at the end of the day.

I guess I just don’t like the artificiality. I’d rather walk down a real Main Street somewhere. And I don’t like crowds, lines, Florida in general.

Sounds like your parents didn’t know how to make it enjoyable and neither do you.

Unfortunate because it can be really fun.

It’s not really that unfortunate. There are tons of other ways to have fun.

Just seems like you’re basing your whole perception of it on one crappy trip you went on as a kid.

But you do you, PP.

I love Disney. Not that I would ever choose to go there myself, but I think it is great for all the intellectually-impoverished people to have somewhere to go where they can line up to hand their money to a MegaCorp in exchange for an ersatz cultural experience. It means they can all congregate in a swamp in Florida, leaving the genuinely pleasant places in the world less crowded.

God you’re a pill.

Maybe the Disney haters on here should listen to AJ from Disney Food Blog go through all the reasons some people hate Disney. She pings on everything you all have said (even though I know you think you’re so original in your criticisms), and has some great responses.

Eh, it wasn’t that clever, but if it made you laugh, great!

I can understand why people with kids go to Disney, but I will never in a million years understand childless adults who go, or worse yet, GET MARRIED at Disney.

You do realize that Disney has plenty of restaurants and rides that aren’t meant for kids at all, right?

My 4 year old is too short for a big percentage of rides at Disney.

Sorry, hit submit too soon:

On the restaurant side — while most Disney restaurants have a kid’s menu, the main cuisine at many of them are not geared towards kids. Jiko is an African/Indian/Mediterranean fusion place. Victoria and Albert’s is a AAA Five Diamond restaurant that does not allow kids under 10 at all.

Victoria and Albert's is truly wonderful, especially the chef's table.

But...you are around kids all the time. On vacation that’s the last thing I want.

It really is! We also loved Jiko and Tiffins. Some terrific African and Indian cuisine.

If my parents—who are from Manhattan and think NYC is the greatest place on earth—can appreciate those restaurants, then maybe the people on here can have an open mind too.

Disney hasn’t been all hot dogs and chips since the 90s.

I guess I would just find it more interesting to eat “African” and Indian food in Africa and India.

I always find these threads amusing. I, myself, do not enjoy Disney. Crowds, lines, mediocre food, obscenely expensive, yada yada. I feel this way about all theme parks. My kids love it though, and I love seeing how happy being there makes them so we go. Each of my kids will go around 3 times before high school. What really gets me are the people who love Disney so much they don’t travel anywhere else but think people who take their kids abroad are crazy or “fancy.” What is this? Unfamiliarity? You can have a truly spectacular week-long trip to Europe for far less $ than a week at Disney costs.
