Our last family vacation was our biggest by far (aided by Dad’s boss lending him the Cessna 310 that Dad flew for him), and included a visit there in 74. I was 20, my sis was 23 single and living on her own. My younger brothers were 15 and 11, and I’m sure enjoyed it. We stayed there one day, then flew over to the Bahama islands of Eluthera (2 days), and then Exuma (2 more days), and loved it. Sis and I would have been glad to have stayed there for the duration of the trip. But no, we stayed another day at the ‘magic’ kingdom before going back to IL.
After that, i referred to those places as “dizzy world”, “six drags”, and “misadventureland”. I saw it as a glorified county fair midway, selling junk and thrill rides at inflated prices.
