3 Nights at DisneyWorld and 4 nights on their Cruise Ship, the Wonder, and I have had enough of the Disney experience for this lifetime. Guess I'm one of the last amongst us to realize it, but I feel completely violated (and disgusted) :repuke: have spent 8 days writhing within the "machine".
Yes, my 3 year old had a great time being marginally capable of enjoying perhaps 10% of Mickey's lair and that alone made it worthwhile. Along the way, I came to realize just how sheltered I am from the reality of what is the "average American" <shiver>. Being an arrogant, obnoxious, self indulgent native New Yorker apparently has it's benefits (at least to me). I have no comprehension of how the rest of these people (I must hesitate to include you'all) can accept the "pedestrian" treatment and interaction. I just spent 8 days immersed within a population of thoughtless, obese lemmings. As for the Disney "experience".... Walt might consider better educating himself as to the appropriate use of lubricant.

Yes, it's like going to the U.S. Nationals, WrestleMania, Street Machine Nationals, Kentucky Derby, Ali Fight, etc.. When it's over you have to say WTF. Better to among Friends and Enemies than unknowns!

Now THAT’S a vacation Toby :thumb:
Of course you could make it a Disney resort by adding 4,500 families, 8,000 beach chairs ("I know there's a beach here somewhere"), no more than 2 Disney characters and a single photographer... and make certain that the ship docks ½ mile away from the beach entrance with the float, snorkel, mask, fin rental shop at the far end and the souvenir shop at the near end of the beach.

Viperess…Actually not such a bad thing to be pleased to leave a "vacation" behind [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img] Thanks Laura! (Will I see you at Chuck’s on Sunday?)
Quote: I like Disney... makes me feel thin
MP…the Hindenburg would seem thin aboard the Disney Retaining Water Wonder… My wife and I were shocked to see cellulite on 8 year olds

Quote: I've been an hour from Disney for 25 years. I think I've only been there twice, not including the race track.
With 2 Vipers and 0 kids…why the hell where you there at all? Were you once entertaining some perverse human/manatee sexual fantasy??? (1 sick puppy)
Seriously though, is it a bio/geographical thing that causes EVERY WOMAN from a landlocked state to take on an additional 150 lbs. of ballast after childbirth?! WTF???!!!
Thing about Disney is - they make it hard for nonfat people to eat decent food! I mean, they have McDonald French Fry booths that only sell the fries and Coke. Whats up with THAT?
Go around the corner and see the familes eating huge turkey legs! UCK!
It really was hard to find something reasonable to eat there - why not have a SUBWAY or something where I can get a nice turkey sandwich without all the crap.
You're a sad, strange, angry little man City. Last time I was there for VOI4 we had a great time.
I will grant you "sad and angry"..but, I am no longer "little" (not that I really ever was). I am likely 7 lbs and a belt notch NOT "littler". I did have some words on board with the lead Radio Shack "golden sales" group junket prick. My buddy was simply falling all over himself with laughter hearing me threaten this diminimus asswipe with, "if you don't remove yourself from my path I will proceed to squash you like a grape". He was apparently upset that I was attempting to give the matre'd a quick $20 to get me in the dining room 5 minutes early. To his ultimate dismay, my early mess gallery entry was causing him to loose face with his Des Moines wilderbeast sales herd.
Later that evening, my bud was heard over the ship's PA system ..."and if any Radio Shack sales staff want's a piece of me, I'll be on deck 9 forward...". He cracked me up!
