"Disney destroys creativity/imaginations"
This quote should be on the pet peevs thread. It really fries me. Disney was built on creativity and imagination.
"Disney destroys creativity/imaginations"
Hi everyone, I posted this on the WDW board a couple of years ago and thought it might be fun to also post it here.
Each to their own, I know, but it puzzles me why some people have so much negativity and hatred for all things Disney. Why are there so many misconceptions and generalizations about Disney vacations?
Here are some statements I have heard:
Disney is for kids. As an adult, you really should have grown out of all that long ago
There is an inner child in all of us. I am not so jaded I stoped believing in magic.
Disney fanatics/obsessives scare me. It's really creepy!
Not much you can say to that. People who think that probably have never even seen Sleeping Beauty.
Walt was a communist/Disney is an evil corporation, blah blah blah
Ask where they get their "facts".
Disney vacations are too expensive/over-priced
Compared to what? Staying home. Yes, it cost a lot more than that.
Disney is too artificial/sanitized
Ok, go down the street and do a tour of the county jail instead.
I hate crowds and waiting in long lines in hot weather
Visit the DIS!
You go waste your money on over-priced/sanitized Disney/Epcot, while I visit the REAL countries with my REAL passport
I do both
I'd rather visit a REAL zoo than Animal Kingdom
I'd rather go on a safari then go to the local zoo. So I'll go to Animal Kingdom.
Disney food is crap. Disney caters to the chain restaurant crowd
Disney counter service is better than many chain restaurant I have been to.
Having your wedding at Disney is weird and creepy
A wedding is basically a girl trying to be a princess, why not do it in front of a castle?
I went to Disney once and I was bored out of my mind
See all of the above.
Have you guys heard similar things?
What do you say in response? How do you deal with Negative Nellys?
