TFA is actually about HOW Disney World purports to not have mosquitos.
WHY Disney World doesn’t want mosquitos is a different issue.
Disney World is some kind of fantasy expression of an ideal world. For the creators, this means an absence of irritants and an abundance of entertainment, sugar, salt, fat, and merch.
The difference between Disney World and the world is that one is an enclave and the other is a world.
The fact that mosquitos exist in both tells us something about the intelligence of species.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoI went to Disney World recently. We went to Disney Animal Kingdom, and the Asian section was beautiful, you really almost felt like you were in Nepal...except the lack of incense made it obvious it was all fake. Same goes with Epcot, visually everything clicks, but the smells are all missing.
- wombatmobile 5y agoWould mosquitos have enhanced the feeling of authenticity or detracted from it?
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoMaybe enhanced if they were coupled with mosquito repelling incense.
- realreality 5y agoWhat is Epcot supposed to smell like? The future?
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoThey have an international pavilion section that does a great job at setting the scene for various parts of the world. At least visually.
- closeparen 5y agoI think there is a corollary to the law of headlines. An article that claims to say “why” something is, only explains how. And an article which claims to say “how” something is, only states that it is.
- Talanes 5y agoExcept that "How Disney World deals with mosquitos" IS an answer to the "Why" in the headline. "Why Disney World Doesn't Want Mosquitos" is a separate question that has a self-evident answer to anyone who has ever been around a mosquito.
