[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always imagine my kids meeting their freshman roommate and they review their childhoods together. [b] My kid doesn’t have to be wonder boy/girl but I would like them to have felt cared for and loved and had some middle class experiences[/b].  Also not to feel ‘left out’ when the conversation turns to summers…I loath Disney and all it stands for as a company - I worked for ABC News when they took them over - but still took my kids.  It is a quintessential American experience whether you want to admit it or not.  I would spend the money and go - even if you feel ripped.[/quote]

My kids have been all over the US and have gone to several foreign countries, plus several more low-key amusement parks. They’ve never asked to go to Disney and I don’t think they’ll miss it. [/quote]

My kid is 5 and has been to:

- Disney several times
- England
- Italy
- Sweden
- Finland
- Estonia
- NYC a lot, as my parents live there
- Arizona a lot, as the in-laws live there

This December, we’re taking her to Paris. Next December, we’re going on a Disney Cruise.

Turns out, going to other places and going to Disney isn’t mutually exclusive, despite what DCUM thinks. [/quote]

Okay? I never went to Disney and I had a perfectly fine American upbringing, thanks.[/quote]

Congrats! Just stop acting as though those of us who go to Disney a lot are somehow not able to go elsewhere. You all try to flex on all the places you’ve gone, as though those of us who go to Disney a lot never go elsewhere. [/quote]

That wasn't me. I could give you a listing of all the places I haven't been, starting with the Caribbean etc. My parents certainly did not take us international travel as children. We did a lot of camping and historical sites within a 10-hour driving radius of our city. [b]The point is to say any one thing is required for an American upbringing, to understand America, etc, is just stupid. [/b][/quote]

I never said that.[/quote]
