[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would rather take my kids whitewater rafting in West Virginia than on the whitewater raft ride at Disney.  One is outdoors, teaches them a new skill, involves getting exercise and is actually cheaper.  The other is more expensive and synthetic.

I would rather take them to a zoo or a nature park to see real animals rather than animatronic animals.

I would rather take them to an actual foreign country than a simulated one at Epcot.

And Disney characters are sexist.[/quote]

I do both, actually.  I've taken my kids all over the US (Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Montana, Texas) and to many National Parks. We've gone white water rafting several times. We go to zoos and science museums. We've been out of the country a few times.

That doesn't mean Disney isn't fun.

(And you clearly haven't been to WDW if you don't think it's exercise. I lose 5 lbs every time I go to Disney. It's several miles of walking per day.)[/quote]

A week at Disney though is a week not spent out in nature doing something more worthwhile.
It’s fine for some I suppose.  Thankfully, DC has not been interested.[/quote]

You're quite the Puritan. [b]Having fun with your family is something worthwhile.[/b]  [/quote]

DC had a lot of fun hiking down into the Kilauea crater; asked tons of questions of the park ranger who led the trek. 
Still talks about the hikes we took on the Napali coast on Kauai.
Really just haven’t had the time to squeeze in Disney.  Maybe someday when we run out of more authentic and satisfying destinations.
