[quote=Anonymous]I've traveled to off the beaten path Asian countries, alone; to various European countries; I've lived in a non-touristy Latin American country for brief periods; I'm not at all the "ugly American" sort of traveler.

Took the kids to Disney World and I'm a total convert. They LOVED it. It was so kid-centric, so well managed, and so entertaining that I actually want to return. I could force my six and four year old to enjoy the quaint culture of an old European city or explain to them the finer points of bushing teeth using only bottles water, but at this age, Disney is the way to go.

While we were there, we met up with a former classmate of my child and her family. It was for the Halloween party, and both parents showed up in full costume - really good ones that required time and effort - and proceeded to have a ton of fun. At first I thought it a little odd that these adults were acting like children, but it occurred to me that they were having a BLAST with their kids. Everyone enjoyed it. No one stopped appreciating fine art, exotic travel, or great literature as a result of their temporary foray into Disney fun.

So - my two cents is that people look down on Disney because they'd like to believe themselves better or more cultured than others. I on the other hand think they look down on Disney because they're just way too uptight. Go on a roller coaster and scream it out - you'll feel better![/quote]
