[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm always a little perplexed by these posters that are like "Disney was so much better when I was a kid!  I don't want to wait in these long lines!"  But you can still go on the SAME rides you went on as a kid with basically no lines.  No one is waiting in long lines for Carousel of Progress or Figment Journey into Imagination.  Even Dumbo has pretty short lines.  There are a few exceptions -- Peter Pan because it's a terribly designed loading process; Space Mountain for reasons not known to man.  But generally, the older rides have basically no wait times so you can still go and have that same 1980s experience!  [/quote]

This is actually a good point.

I think that what people miss is the feeling of being a kid at Disney.  The wonder and fun.  My family's Disney vacation is one of the few kid-centered vacations we took.  That's still the case.

We as a family have been to London and Paris and Yellowstone and Greece.  I loved them all.  But my kids much prefer a Disney or Universal centered vacation.  I can't blame them.  I preferred those trips also when I was a kid.  Though the beach is great for both kids and adults, so there's that.

Yeah, I didn't go on Peter Pan as a kid.  I did this time because it was on a list and we were taking our four year old so obviously there weren't many rides meant for him so we did all of them...but that Peter Pan ride is kind of awful.  [/quote]
