Quite possibly the worst Disneyland experience ever!

[Deleted member 107043]

To the folks here chastising the OP please remember that not everyone likes Disneyland. My sister says the worst day of her life was at Disneyland, and swears she'll never go back. I've had a few trips to DLR where I've been annoyed and bothered too. It's nothing unusual, even for those of us who love the place.

Well once you're dead it's kind of hard to go back even if you wanted too.

It's been done before.

This is known to SoCal locals and Disneyland Annual Passholders as the Hot Dog Season. It's the only food there. Bring your own mustard.

Well, yeah, I'm not slumming it with that cheap yellow stuff even when it isn't Hot Dog Season.

OK, I actually prefer the yellow stuff to Dijon and the like..

We were there for hot dog season once. Being from out of town, we had no idea what hot dog season even was. But let me tell you, it was INSANE. By the end of the first night we were picking hot dog bits out of our hair, my husband got a piece stuck in his eye, and when my son took off his shoes for the night back in the hotel an entire hot dog fell to the floor! It was the best thing I've ever or will ever experience.

I've had some terrible experiences at Disneyland. Not everyone can deal with all the awkward bottlenecks and massive crowds being directed by cast members with miniature lightsabers like it's an airport. It isn't WDW with its massive open areas of concrete to better contain crowds and there are few places to retreat. It's basically a rat race most of the time. That's a big difference.

I smuggle in packets of brown mustard with horseradish in it. Not as pretentious as Grey Poupon, but has more kick than the yellow stuff.

My God do I love Hot Dog Season.

Valid point. But I'm dedicating Hot Dog Season to the OP's mother, who even the OP admits has some issues to work through aside from hating her trip to Disneyland.

You got to admit the overlay for pirates called Pirates of the Sauerkraut is pretty cleaver.

Settle down folks. The topic title is "Worst Experience", not "Wurst Experience".

Oh how I love Hot Dog Season at Disneyland. My absolute favorite time of the year outside of the months of June-April. I only wish I could be there but I (and my wallet) left dead from Disneyland and vowed never to return.

Do they still serve hot cheese in Disneyland?

No, after the "hot" lawsuit barrage of the 90's and 00's, it's mainly lukewark and sometimes cold. Whether it's even cheese is another lawsuit waiting to happen.

I've never had a good, I mean bad time at Disneyland...well, except that one time where I choked on a hot dog...and it wasn't even hot dog season to make things worse.

The slinky dogs taste like metal.

Hot Dogs in CA, I thought they were banned. I thought all you could get now was Tofu dogs. Junk food in CA was banned a few years ago. Also anything with a high Sodium count. Basically, if it does not have Bean Sprouts or Avocado or is considered Ethnic food it is Banned.

Sure, and smog was eliminated back in the 80s *.

I heard @Curious Constance made out with a hot dog.

Any state that has to make a commercial about how the residents are normal people is not full of normal people. We're just like everyone else. Yeah right, I use to live there. Not trying to be mean to Californians but it is a completely different culture, they are a country of their own.

That commercial was almost like satire, and it was a promoting California as a vacation destination.

In regards to the bolded, a case can be made for each of the fifty states, not just the Golden one.
