I went to disneyland in the 60s the lines were too long.

They even had the whole "It's a small world after all" brainwashing stuff.

I read an article in the 2000s when they started using bio metric passes and face recognition

In the 2010s I heard ads nonstop on the radio about how you could audition to make your little girl the next disney slut.

I think it highly unlikely that I would ever pay money for anything disney today.

My Grown kids were upset and boycotted disney when they got rid of the starwars kickboxing chick.

When Disneyland changed from being themed and having a wonderful atmosphere to being an amusement park and operating as babysitting services for the local kids/teens, it stopped being fun.

Likewise, I went to Disneyland in the early 70’s, my first and only time. My girlfriend at the time thought it was the greatest place you could ever think of going. I thought it was pretty good...for kids, I suppose.....and overpriced bigly.

I remember disney “gay day” and reports of homos trying to drag off children every time “gay day” came around.

Following a visit to Disneyland in August, 1959, my father complained that we had spent too much money there. For our family of five, the entry fee and ride tickets, food and parking set us back a whopping $30.00!

I was there even before it became Disneyland. My uncle had a chicken ranch on the site. It was there that I first heard roosters crow in the morning. Some of those roosters may have wound up lying next to some mashed potatoes, peas, and a roll with boysenberry jam, because Knott's Berry Farm was one of my uncle's clients. By the way, my mother worked at Knott's as a waitress at the time of Henry Wallace's vice presidency.

I haven't been to Disneyland since 1969, and I live nine miles away.

There's a solution parents:

1) Don't raise your kids on Disney or Nick television, so they won't hold their breath until you take them to Orlando.

2) Take your kids camping or hiking or golfing or bowling - anything. Do something with them other than use the product of evil minds to babysit them.

3) When reward time comes around (all chores done, report cards all pass inspection, etc.) go to a place like Knoebels Amusement Park or another family owned/family themed park. You'll have just as much fun. Knoebels is the best (w/ free admission and free parking), but there are many others out there.

Wife and I have been to Disney World several times, we have no kids and we were never in a hurry. Yep, lots of people even in October and November but we never rushed, rode what we wanted to ride even if we waited a bit, (my fav is Tower of Terror at Disney Studios.
Yes it’s expensive but we always felt like we got our monies worth, we’d saved up and had the money to spend.
Some if the best stuff is later in the evening after the crowds thin out.
Its disappointing to read DW is going downhill.

they should develop a ride with Taylor Swift. She seems to have the midas touch right now.

She is making a fashion statement tonight at the Chiefs game with a windbreaker wearing it off the shoulder on one shoulder. That would drive me crazy. The windbreaker by Erin Andrews is already sold out on two sites.

Billion Dollar woman and no stopping her yet.

Obviously people like it or she wouldn’t have to stand in long lines. They try to raise prices to cut the amount of visitors so lines get shorter, but it hasn’t worked yet.

It’s a total rip off...why give money to a gay propaganda machine? Overpriced self advertising trinkets....overpriced foods and hotels...it wouldn’t be bad if they weren’t propagandizing....even then..may be best for up to 9 year olds..I was trying to bust the autopia cars off of the rails at age 9
If the young boys want a thrill...take them on a police ride-along when they’re old enough...teach em judo or boxing if they have lots of energy...take them to historical sites..teach em horseback riding...survival tricks...batting cages, weightlifting, concerts, habitat for humanity..oh, yeah. star wars rides...gay day... it’s a small world....what a crock of lameness...

I was there two weeks ago and this guy is exactly right.

I saw a fellow wearing the perfect Tee shirt. The shirt said “ Disneyland Resort, The longest, most expensive day of my life!”

I am amazed they didn’t throw him out.

We were there for 3 days averaging 4 rides a day. The rest of the time was standing in F-ing lines.

It’s never been worth the money, which is why we never went there.
