It continues to baffle me why people who clearly don't get or like theme parks decide to write about them.
I don't complain about your snobby, expensive Manhattan restaurants - really if you're going to complain about Disney don't complain about the essence of what it is. It would be like me going to a football game and complaining that all there was to see was men throwing a ball around and cheap fast food.
Like really, if all you see are screaming kids, inflated price tags, and kitsch you're not paying attention to what's in front of your nose. Or perhaps it's just not for you. A weeklong vacation to Yosemite doesn't appeal to me much but I'm not about to denigrate the whole thing.
