- disnetland/world have been caricatures of overcommercialization for *decades*. they seem to still be doing decent business. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 08:22 1

  - I certainly think there can be a balance of both. -- nm - Remlik Jan 21, 08:16
seriously, that place is a wallet cleaning machine. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:11 31
- yep. But it's fun. ST should do a Disney trip -- nm - Remlik Jan 21, 08:14 30
  - if ST wants to guarantee my lack of attendance, sure. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:15 29
    - Leave your cares behind and escape to magical lands of fantasy and adventure :) - con_carne Jan 21, 08:30
    - you'd have fun. Lots to do. -- nm - Remlik Jan 21, 08:18 27
      - for me? like what? -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:19 26

        ST logic: "If you don't like the exact thing I like, you are no fun and you suck." -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:26 14
        
        To be fair, you often jump on people who genuinely enjoy Disney. nm - Dignan Jan 21, 08:28 1
        
        maybe I do. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:30
        
        but the point of all this is, there is lots to do at Disney. There is Epcot, there is shopping, there are exhibits, there are fabulous looking rides - Andie Jan 21, 08:27 11

        I asked what would be fun for me, there is no need for people to get angry. - loosilu Jan 21, 08:29 4
        
        then don -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 08:30 3
        
        then don't go. if you are determined that absolutely nothing there will entertain, then don't ask. -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 08:31 1
        
        I thought someone might come up with a different answer. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:32
        
        I already said I wouldn't. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:31
        
        And no shit...it is hands down the cleanest amusement park I've ever seen. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 08:29 4
        
        i read something once (years ago) that if a Disney worker (anyone except a character) walks by a piece of garbage on the ground, they'll be fired. - Andie Jan 21, 08:30 2
        
        Don't know about that...but I ended up at a Conference on the Disney property a few years back. From my room to the conference room... - Jim Jan 21, 08:32
        
        my cousin dated someone who worked there and got to tour the underground. She said it was pretty incredible -- nm - oblique Jan 21, 08:32

        what do you do, walk around and make fun of people? - loosilu Jan 21, 08:22 8
        
        no, not me. i would soak in all the awesome stuff. i'm saying, for you. - TFox Jan 21, 08:24 5
        
        I enjoy different activities. People are different, that's what makes people cool. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:24 4
        
        you asked what you'd do at Disney. i supplied an answer to your query. -- nm - TFox Jan 21, 08:26 3
        
        and it was a blatant insult. well done. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:26 2
        
        no. i mean, it wasn't intended that way. - TFox Jan 21, 08:29 1
        
        it's hard to take it otherwise. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 08:31
        
        or just come here. only no walking. - mafic Jan 21, 08:23 1
