[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The allure of Disney only proves people are emotional idiots who think with their emotions.  We want and follow what we think is cool and others say is.  I mean for all that money you are doing mostly waits or at best enjoying a purely artificial fantasy which is based on characters that your kids may not may not truly care about.  They are entertainment characters.  You could be learning seeing taking in any other place in the world but yeah, gotta mix in an overpriced overcrowded amusement park.  Got it.  And this is why DH and I joke that aliens may be out there but they may want earths resources but not to hang with us irrational idiots!!!![/quote]

Actually, I think the people criticizing Disney and saying that they would die of embarrassment are the ones who are worried about what is cool and having pictures from some "sophisticated" location for their social media.

We started taking our kids to Disney from toddlerhood, because where else is fun for parents when they have a bunch of little kids?  You have fun things to do for every age, a wide variety of food that caters to adults and kids and when kids start crying, no one glares at you.  We continue visiting because that is a place where everyone has happy memories and can relax and just be "goofy."

We also travel to other places and I can guarantee that my kids have learned about the world, its history, its art and its nature.  We can afford to do both.
I will agree, though, with posters who say that the experience has degraded and the money required to have a decent experience is getting out-of-hand.  But there is nothing inherent to Disney theme parks that makes it less worthy of vacation.[/quote]

+1 to all of this. Disney used to be magical. Tnow it feels grossly expensive, the resorts are worn out, and it feels like they’re constantly nickel and diming.

That said, you can still have an amazing vacation if you pony up. We went several times this year (unusual for us but different opportunities presented themselves) and the difference between staying at the four seasons and even a deluxe Disney hotel was vast. Four seasons (since it’s offsite which I found nicer and more relaxing, and has Disney perks like early entry), “less crowded” times and lightening lanes are the way you need to do Disney to make it a magical and enjoyable trip. Just $$$. But amazing with young kids. They are entertained, there’s a ton going on, I can let them be kids and take them to restaurants, etc. [/quote]

The four seasons isn’t really off-site. It’s right next to the dog boarding place and is technically in Golden Oak.[/quote]
