Disney is the most overrated tourist trap in the world. I laugh at the fools who go down there several times a year.

How a grown person can enjoy that place is truly beyond me.


You are clearly doing it wrong if you think this.

I used to get checked a lot coming back to the states, the ole machine to check for ether, questions about what I did, etc.

My passport had well over 100 stamps from Caribbean islands, some like Barbados over 20 times. But still Im 60 years old. Then I spoke to a friend in the govt and he said I was a prime candidate. White guy, probably divorced and looking to recoup settlement money, looking for a Buffett lifestyle in a midlife crisis, dressed for business vs a tourist. Who would a thunk?

A lifetime ago I lived in Orlando, went WDW many a time.

Go in the summer, and walk through the park and start at the back. You will see five times the attractions due to the lack of crowds.

On a sidenote, funny articles about the place. There was a family from TX who had saved to go to the park. Two weeks before the family car was stolen. They took out a loan and went anyway. On the monorail in the parking lot the dad spotted the family car. Got security and sure enough it was their car. Seems the thief wanted to take his family as well. What are the odds, and what are the odds the fella spots his car in that sea of metal?

Disney needs a taste of austerity.

All you baws that hate companies trying to appease their employees and customers by showing that they are concerned with social justice should know that Disney was the largest corporate sponsor to the America First Action PAC in the last election cycle.

I was looking forward to taking the grandkids there next Spring, but that trip is now cancelled. I'll spend my money elsewhere.

Universal is so much better but my GF’s kids have only been once when they were 6 and 4. Her youngest has never been so I’ll be making that trip to Disney at least one more time before grandkids start wanting to go

Always surprises me how poor some people are at planning.

Disney is easy to avoid lines and do everything if you know how.

Plus you don’t have to spend a fortune either

You either love fake shite or hate it. I PERSONALLY HATE IT. Well maybe hate is too strong a word. I don’t want my grandkids going there. I took my kids once and the hype and hypocrisy was so overwhelming I refused it ever go back. That was in the ‘80’s. I cannot fathom how a grown man can tolerate that place. Take your kids and grandkids fishing for God’s sale. Disney is fake and hype and sets young people up for the BS politics that we have in todays world.

Recently cancelled my Disney+ subscription. When they asked why I simply said Get woke, go broke. It felt good. It’s a shame what is happening with them. I have a lot of fond memories of Disney World but those days are over. I will not go back.

Why would anyone these days go there? Serious question.


Woke or not, it's always been a miserable experience. The best part is going in the summer, guaranteeing you get absolutely doused at some point.

The real issue is do you want to wait an hour for almost every ride and wear a mask in 95 degree heat? Not me.
