Disney is way overrated. There's like four actual rides in the whole park, the rest are all get in boat -> have animatronic animals sing at you. And there's no alcohol!  I don't understand why so many adults are obsessed with the place.

I enjoyed seeing the naked horror in the eyes of the staff as they grin and wave and dance for the umpteenth time that day.

Somewhere I have a picture of the fat people waiting for the scooter line.

lol

jeez look at all you hipsters pooh-poohing ordinary people having fun.

epcot is very very kitschy, but i guess if you can get over that it has its own charm. it presents other countries exactly the way you'd expect an american who will likely never actually visit the places to see them. but i guess that's why it's a 'theme' park, and not to be taken seriously. we sat in the england part in one of the 'pubs', and very felt estranged from our own putative 'culture'. i guess that says a lot. alienated in your own zone.

Is 'It's a Small World' in the Disney park? I can't remember if it is, just the catatonic look on everyone's face as they came out the exit.

Yep. And only moderately racist. I was disappointed, the Africa room should've been made even more jungly and dark and had more dancing monkeys

Hmm, I went to Disney a while back and I actually enjoyed it. Epcot was very interesting. We did a little dining/drinking tour of all the different countries. Overall, it was fun. We were there with friends for their wedding and it turned out great.

I had fun in Epcot, did the drinking tour, designed my own ride, jalapeno margaritas kicked my ass, had really crappy french food at 'chefs des france', had an awesome lunch at the german beer garden etc. I just didn't like Magic Kingdom very much. I wasn't raised on Disney movies as a kid so I've never had that 'ooooooh Mickey!' feeling. Space and Splash mountains were fun, the rest of my day was essentially spent dodging strollers and wheelchairs while letting my wife pretend she was an 8 year old girl all over again, haha.

I went to Disney when I was 11. I liked Universal Studios better.

This was my first time since I was 8. I've only ever been to Epcot, MK, Sea World and Cape Canaveral down here.

Nope, and I get made fun of for that every summer

Oh, and I marched in the parade at Hershey Park in 8th grade with the school band. I was so

I heard it is really ghetto now so maybe you shouldn't bother.

First time I went to Sea World I was picked to be in the dolphin show and got to feed them. Probably a good thing I was only 6 at the time and didn't pay much attention to the crowds in the stands.

I ruined my wife regarding dolphins haha. We went on a trip to Charleston, SC last year and I told her that dolphins have been known to rape human women. She looked it up, confirmed it, and now can't even think about one without shddering, haha.

hasnt she seen king of the hill
