When coworkers say they are taking vacations to Disney properties I say I am sorry for them. When they go practically anywhere else, I say I am jealous!
And yes, I have been twice. Waste of time and money. Even brought my young son thinking perhaps seeing it from a child's perspective would change my mind. He was meh. He did during the same time love Sea World, which has its own issues.
