    I don't really get the appeal of Disney World/Land? Then again I'm not really a Disney fan. It's insufferable to me [​IMG]. Call me crazy but I'd rather plan a vacation around museums, good food and unique cultural experiences. Not some manufactured corporate nostalgia.

    It's not difficult to understand the appeal of a place like Disneyland. It's actually very easy to understand, even if it doesn't appeal to you.

    I don't like girls with fake boobs or butts but I could see why that would appeal to someone.

    Go to Disneyland and magic mountain
    About a 45 minute drive
    Like driving from the sf to San Jose
    Hit up the malls
    They there's one mall
    I think it's called foxhill
    Think of it like 2/3 story southland
    Also hit up egg slut
    Ice cream lab
    Roscos but it tastes exactly like the home of chicken n waffles In Jack London
    Also the fashion district u can hit up "the alley"
    It's like an outside version of durant
    People selling stuff from shoes
    To clothes
    To electronics
    To baby turtles parrots and rabbits
    Don't forget to buy one of those bacon wrapped hotdogs :pimp:

    that ride literally made me cry when I was 6.

    Is it still around? The one in Disneyland is a Toy Story or Lilo version of it now.

    I was deprived as a kid because my parents could never afford to take my sister and I on vacations. I went for the first time about 7 years ago with my girlfriend and some friends and I was mind blown. I felt like a little kid again. Disney pays so much detail to everything, it's hard to grasp it. The first time I went, everything was so magical (cliché, I know). I remember they were preparing for the parade at Magic Kingdom, so we wanted to avoid the lines and jetted towards Splash Mountain. As we were running to the ride, they cut us off at the where the parade started and we ended up getting a front row view 8). We found out later Splash Mountain was closed due to renovation so it worked out. Also for the closing fireworks, we were able to get on the last Astro Orbiter ride of the night in Tomorrowland and got an amazing view. I remembered for the last day we had an afternoon flight and wanted to get in a couple of rides before heading to the airport. As we were heading to Hollywood Studios, we got a call from our airline to tell us our flight has been delayed. We were able to do the whole park before leaving :smoking

    The past 2 years, I've taken my daughter each year and she absolutely adores it. At the time I was planning my second trip (her first), they were running a deal for free dining if you stayed on their property. I ended up booking at Port Orleans Riverside and that place is beautiful. I usually hate planning trips but Disney has made it so simple that I actually enjoyed setting up reservations for the dining. I was able to book dining with characters, dinner at the castle inside Magic Kingdom, etc. My daughter loved every bit of it. They introduced the Magic Bands that year and we were one of the few that tested the program. I loved the convenience of not having to carry my wallet everywhere and charging everything to the band.

    This year I decided to drive down from NY and it wasn't such a pleasant experience (with kids and a gf that doesn't like driving). I drove 20 hrs straight and was ready to pass out as soon as I hit the room but once I saw that "Disney World. Where Dreams Come True" sign, my eyes lit up. I stayed at the Boardwalk Inn this time and again, this place is beautiful. I didn't do the meal plan so we dined a lot outside of Disney. I like the fact that we weren't on a schedule and able to go as we pleased but the convenience of the meal plan makes it simpler.

    I've already typed more than I should but Disney really brings the kid out of me. I'm 30 btw. I plan on going every year, thinking about doing the cruise next year. If you want the full experience, stay on Disney property. Their customer service is top notch.

    My wife and I have lived in Orlando for the past year, annual pass holders. We love going a couple weekends or weeknights a month, even if just for a night out or dinner. One of the perks of relocating down here from North Carolina for my job.

    Just came back off of a 6 day bender at Disney World. I have two daughters. One is 7 and the other is 11. My 7 year old absolutely loves the place. My 11 year old does too but she's getting to be too cool for school so it doesn't show as much :lol: I love it. My wife, on the other hand, wouldn't mind if we never set foot in the place again.

    They are both dope, but these places aren't for the timid. If you don't hold your nuts your kids aren't going to get to see **** and enjoy anything. :lol:

    best theme park ever (disneyland) on the sole fact that they not even checkin for alcohol or drugs, way too many times we've just walked in with vodka in water bottles and the dutch......good times. :pimp:

    most memorable times with my wife were when we did NYE 2012 park reached full capacity by 10am :x though and if you left you couldn't come back in, think it closed at 2am

    and my sister in law's 21st, pretty wild, we all drank & rolled and went to the mad hatters party rave thing, my bro in law couldn't handle himself though and security started following him around, so we had to dip, not trying to get banned or get in any trouble there.

    we go usually in october/november(never crowded) when the christmas stuff is up. LOVE the haunted mansion when its the nightmare before christmas, space mountain,splash,indiana jones. star tours is great too.

    I like getting out of space mountain and right after heading to that arcade/gift shop at the exit

    toy story mania is my fave attraction at california adventures, wish pixar movies had more of that kind of 3D interaction, like for monsters inc or the incredibles

    tower of terror is great too(love doing funny poses)

    love the muppet 3D attraction too, wife be hating because i will always laugh at the same exact jokes :lol:
