[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is that people who desperately want to be some blend of hip, intellectual (they believe), urbane, educated, elite, sophisticated, etc. don't do disney because they say it isn't worth the money (as compared to Europe or whatever).  I don't think those people actually travel much at all, when they do, it is home to their parents, they don't really like laughing and being silly with their kids for the short time that their kids are kids but would rather play "we are all so sophisticated, even our kale eating snowflakes who, by the way, are grades ahead at their montessori, bilingual, immersion, organic, free range school."

I love disney.  Love travel in general.  We will do what we feel is appropriate for us and our kids at each age.  I could go jawbone with some "international friends (i just met)" in provence and drink wine with my 3 year olds but that isn't the type of vacation I want to have in Europe since i can drink wine with people I don't know in Virginia with my 3 year olds.  I'd rather go to Museums, castles, historic sites, etc. and I would rather wait until my kids are old enough to appreciate it. So maybe the first it will be London where there is a "queen" and lots of easy to see cool things (red buses, Big Ben, a place where peoples heads were chopped off!) and a big zoo.  But later it will be harder places that are a bit more of a challenge.  But for right now, with 2 little kids, Disney, cruises, the beach, exploring East coast cites are all good.  We will always go back to disney, though, because the rides are fun and the food can be good.

And 2 additional points.

Animal Kingdom has real animals and has some animals that are not seen at most zoos.  Many animals that our National Zoo doesn't have anymore.

Victoria and Alberts at the Grand Floridian Resort in Walt Disney World is ranked as one of the best restaurants in the ENTIRE COUNTRY ever year.  I have eaten there and it is wonderful.  No kids allowed.  They have babysitters at he resorts because Disney knows who is paying and how to keep those people happy too![/quote]

Nice story, bro.   :lol:
