The World of Disney

Thoughts about my vacation to Disney World.

  • It was draining on the wallet. But it is an interesting thing to behold.
  • Going during the time I did, it has a more international flare: many families were from the U.K. and Japan on "holiday."
  • Under the section of TMI, the restroom facilities were VERY clean. When I'm in public for a long time, I often alter my eating habits so that I don't have to use the restroom for other than #1. With Disney World, it wasn't an issue.
  • The Epcot Center is nothing but a great big advertisement for things other than Disney. For some reason, I can understand Disney selling Disney, but I couldn't understand Disney advertising GM, who paid Disney to advertise for GM.
  • Kids who are tired, become "bad" kids. Kids, who are bad AND tired are on their own level. A few times, the wife and/or I wanted to scream, "Smack the kid then give him/her a nap!"
  • Women, with low/no waist pants/mini-skirts/mirco-mini-skirts, a size or more too small, with "dunlap disease" is NOT a good sight.
  • Tatooes on kids, even the "fake/temporary" ones are a no no. What the HELL are parents thinking?
  • Disney has taken customer service to a level of true art form. You are PAYING for the customer service and the temporary suspension of reality, but you don't mind because you are customer serviced to death.



    I often tell people around me that the lack of customer service on the day to day level is in indicator on the "fall" of the U.S. society. In fact, I now NEVER go to a drive thru because it is a certainty that your order will be messed up, and never in your favor. With Disney, there is a glimer of hope.

How's that for a non-political post?
