I can’t stand Disneyland/world. Too loud, too bright, too hot, and too crowded. Furthermore, I always end up getting pushed into riding rides that I don’t want to ride, going places I don’t want to go, and eating food I don’t want to eat.

To the rest of my family, it was a vacation. To me, it was an exercise in frustration.

Ride parks are fun. Disneyland is an experience.

Most people who hate them either haven’t been there or have predetermined that they can’t have fun there. Or they just suck at life.

When I went to Cedar Point, I rode a fair amount of the rides there on the first day. Then on the second day, Millennium Force’s lift engine overheated and stopped working… and then it blew out part of the power grid? I forget… But the power went out for about a third of the park and I didn’t get to ride Millennium Force a second time. And then, since it was one of the few things still working, the lines for Top Thrill Dragster were so damn long that by the time I got anywhere, the ride had begun to have compressor problems and they shut it down. Then I had to go on the rest of the road trip through to Minnesota, and I didn’t get to spend any more time at the park. *sadface*

Cedar Point is such a better deal. Costs less to go to and there’s actually amazing rides to go on there that are worthy of the trip to get there. Disney is cool if you are still of the mind of an adolescent or have kids of your own. Otherwise, the charm of the place isn’t as effective.

My father took us to Cedar Point every year for several years. I’d advise going on Monday or Tuesday. The lines are much shorter on those days than on the weekends or Wednesdays. The last few times I went with my children, we drove down early Monday, rode the rides all day, stayed the night in a hotel there, floated around Soak City Tuesday morning and had a leisurely drive home. I live in Southeast Michigan, about 2 1/2 hours away. My grandkids are almost old enough for me to take them now!

Just go to universal. Much more fun and a lot less crowded at the moment.

Anyway, it’s not totally fair to blame Disney itself for the problems you had eating at downtown Disney… the vast majority of the stores and resturants there are not owned or operated by Disney.

Since you mention overpriced sandwich and 2 hours… my guess would be that you ate at the rainforest cafe. If so, that’s one of the worst places you can pick there; the wait is ridiculously long, the food is mediocre, and the prices are high. You’re much better off hitting the Earl of Sandwich … less wait, better prices, better food.

I really have no idea what you’re talking about being a “prisoner” … it’s not hard to get away from the parks at Disney World.

Then again, I probably have an abnormal view of Disney in general…. even though I go anywhere between 4 and 10 times a year, I haven’t *paid* for it in more than 15 years (go-go gadget seasonal castmember wife)

A LEGO store that DIDN’T HAVE HERO FACTORY.

This is Hasbro’s fault. I’ll find a way to make it their fault. It’s always their fault.
