Subject: The Disney World Thread

Written By: wsmith4 on 12/29/10 at 12:11 pm

Who's been there? Do you friggin love like I do?  I am obsessed.  Went for the first time in 2009, went back this year, going again February.  I am addicted.  Easily the greatest place I've ever been (though I must admit I haven't been that many places!).  But I would believe it's truly the Happiest Place on Earth.  Share your stories, experiences, and praise.

No Disney bashing, please.  This is for fans only!

I've been to Disney World many times, the first time was for my honeymoon in 1989...in August.  I will never, ever go in the summer again.  Fall and winter are great.

I think the best time to go is at Christmastime.  The week before is less crowded than the week after Christmas.  The best part in the night parade.  The park closes and you have to have a special ticket for the Christmas parade.  When you walk in to the park it is snowing on Main St.,  the floats are so nice, some have different scents, one smells like gingerbread cookies and another smells like pine trees.  My daughter thought I was nuts because it made me cry.  ;D

thats too bad... the beauty of LA (if you do get the chance) is that I get southern ca resident discounts to the theme parks...and in spring I usually get in free with $10 off additional adult tickets at most theme parks for their law enforcement week.  8)

I was supposed to go to Disney World so many times but each time the trip was canceled for whatever reason.

I have gone to Disneyland once. It was my first trip to California. We stopped in Tulsa for my grandmother's 90th birthday party & stayed with my oldest sister. She worked at the Disney Store and had free tickets to Disneyland/World. Two tickets were going to expire at the end of the year and she knew that she would make it so she gave us the tickets.

We had a wonderful day and when we left, I thanked Carlos because it is something that I always wanted to do. He said to me, "I'm glad you had a good time and if you ever want to go again, TAKE SOMEONE ELSE because I HATE AMUSEMENT PARKS!!!" I was shocked! I realized that he waited until AFTER we left to tell me this-instead of b!tching about it the entire day making it miserable for me. I don't think that I could have loved him anymore than I did at that moment. My one regret was the fact that we didn't get to go on the teacups that I REALLY wanted to. We got over to that side of the park late in the day and didn't have time.  :\'( :\'( :\'(

I have only been to Disneyland once, when I was 5.  I am thinking about saving up for a  trip for Sarah when she gets out of 9th grade.  Kind of a bye bye Jr High...hello High School trip.

Life is hard when you're Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom.

Link goes to Cory Doctorow's first novel - a 2003 tribute to Disney World, available as a free-to-download novel from his own website.
