maybe they haven't been there to experience what we have... and IF they have been and still make comments like that.... well then shame on them! they don't deserve to ever go again :king:
crazygirley said:The other day someone said something to me about Disney World that made me cringe in a way that only a WDW-fanatic would. It was a comment that is up there along with "So you are going to Disneyland," and "Are you going to Disney World and Epcot?"
I was asked in regards to Animal Kingdom, "Who would pay $50-something just to go to a zoo?" I cringed in my head and refrained from going into detail about how AK is not a zoo (... nahtazu), but still felt a little hurt by the comment, and really felt myself get defensive.
Has anyone else ever had the experience of a "below the belt" comment?

Huck said:how about "There are too many other places to see to keep going back to Disney. Once is enough."
soccer9miahamm said:Stuff like that happens all the time for me. I live in South Dakota, which is a ways from the World. People just don't understand here. Everyone seems to think that it is just a place for elementary kids. It is very frustrating. People laugh when I tell them that I've been there 11 times. They tell me, "Don't you think you should go somewhere else for a change?" It really gets to me. yet I feel kinda sorry for them as they are so naive.

While I love Disney World, when i get home from a trip i don't sit there daydreaming about how soon I can start planning my next trip there. There are many other places to see in this world, Disney World just happens to be one of the greatest must-sees. But what about Europe, the Far East, Australia, India, North Africa, South America, the Caribbean (if anyone says you can see the caribbean in POTC they're getting shot), and Polynesia. It's not where you go that makes a trip magical, It's what you do when you're there. I took a trip to Italy, France and Spain this past July with my orchestra and (I know I'm gonna get shot here for saying this) It was the best trip I've ever had. Disney World didn't even come close. Why? Because on that trip I gained a new outlook on life, I made friends that I'll have for the rest of my life, I played concerts in some of the most reputable halls in the world, the Queen of England came to see one of our concerts. Don't be afraid to see other parts of the ...planet. Disney World will always be there when you get back. And don't scorn people for encouraging you to broaden your horizons.

crazygirley said:Exactly, that's the whole point!
I don't like NASCAR, but I would never say to a NASCAR fan, "Why would anyone pay money to watch cars drive in a circle?" ESPECIALLY if I didn't know anything about the thing in question.
