I could pitch a tent outside “It’s A Small World,” and live there forever. I don’t think any negative PR could keep me from Disney World. Love the place. But then, I love D.C., so what do I know? :-D
Good to know where the money goes from $100+ Disney park tickets!
Nice that “conservatives” with “family values” support organizations that give their political enemies 3.2 Million dollars to cancel out your values...
