Growing up, my parents were very anti Disney[land|world]. We always knew it would never be something we were going to. They were offended by the cost and the crowds.
Now having a family of my own, we keep the tradition alive. Our kids know Disney(place) as a thing that is overpriced and overcrowded.
But, It’s all in what kind of recreation you seek. I’m sure there plenty of people who would be put off by all the camping and canoeing trips we do.
- deebosong 4y agoI like that this is a tradition, and I would like to become a member of this party. Anti-Disney, but many, many, maaaaaaany other options for things way more interactive, engaging, interesting, etc.
- neutronicus 4y agoMy parents were the same, and at the time I felt deprived (my friends spoke glowingly of their Disneyworld trips). But I nevertheless grew into a Disney grinch. (We have roller coasters in Maryland!)
- bombcar 4y agoIn SoCal Disneyland was widely considered as being "for the babies" amongst my crowd - the real deal was to go to Magic Mountain where they had a ride that went upside down.
- ROTMetro 4y agoWow, what a sad story.
- driverdan 4y agoYou're right, Disney is sad. Everything they said was true.
- jcpst 4y agoA tear rolled down my face as I resurfaced the trauma of my childhood, knowing that I’ll never know the wonder and awe of the land of Disney. Hopefully I can get my driver’s license renewed soon, so I can pretend the line is for a ride at the land of magic.
