Simpson's quotes...

"When the family visits Sideshow Bob in prison, Marge says she doesn't think prison is "a great place to bring the children", to which Lisa replies "It still beats Disney's California Adventure.""

"Homer promises to hide his fugitive mother "someplace where there's nobody for miles, Disney's California Adventure."

Disney California Adventure (and most of today's mass media entertainment):

Products of the imaginations of fools. Intelligent fools, but fools no less.

Lesson for the student: Discard truth... and communication/connection (being able to speak to the heart of the common person on the street) is also discarded.

I took my mother to Orlando two weeks ago. she had never been. (happpened to be during the time the nephew walked out)

First night in town we went to "Downtown Disney" and ate a Wolfgang Puck's restaurant. Probably the worst meal with the worst service I had seen this year.

We enjoy eating at the character meals at the resort hotels because many of them are very beautiful. One evening we ate at the Wilderness Lodge, which I particularly like. The have a fun-for-kids restaurant there with good food.

At somepoint during the dinner, I went to the bathroom, which is just outside the restaurant in the hotel lobby. Someone had vomitted all over the bathroom floor something fierce. It was really quite bad, and smelled quite foul.

I went to the reservation desk at th restaurant, told them about it, and they said "Yes we know.".

For the next two hours I watched others do the same thing I did. They never cleaned it at all while I was there. The meal for four is about $100, and I know the nightly rate at the hotel is close to $800 a room. I think motel six would of done better for its customers.

My mother's over all comment on the entire resort was "I thought it was supposed to be cleaner than this".

I've been to DCA twice. It's fine as far as it goes -- although I've not visited that California Dreams (??) attraction voice-over'd by Whoopi -- but by no means is it a park that should cost as much as Disneyland next door does. Disneyland is $47 for a day's ticket; DCA should be $29 -- and should include a little coupon book for discounts on the food and m'dise in DCA, which appear to be 35% of the reason for its very existence.

Good corndogs though.

I couldn't agree more with this article. I've been to Disneyland twice and would love to return, and I've been to Disney World once and said, "Never again." I've always told people that at Disneyland, you actually feel in the presence of Walt Disney (or at least you did years ago, the last time I went -- I hope Eisner hasn't ruined it). But Disney World felt like a PC-obsessesed, money-grubbing corporate committee tried to take a few of Walt's ideas and use them as a base to build a dull, soulless machine designed to do nothing but separate visitors from their money.
