I live in California and people don't understand why we would go "all the way to Florida" more than once a year when "we have Disneyland right here". These people assume that "Disneyworld" is identical to Disneyland, only a lot bigger. They really think it is just the theme park (yeah, only one theme park) and nothing more. It kind of annoys me actually. I mean, I don't mind people not knowing any better because they never really thought to look into it, but it frustrates me when I try to explain it to people and they don't get it. I'll explain that WALT Disney World (not "Disneyworld") is an entire resort (actually, technically a city), that it's twice the size of Manhattan (or the same size as San Francisco) and that it includes more than just the FOUR separate theme parks (a lot of people I talk to think that Epcot is PART OF "Disneyworld" (i.e. Magic Kingdom)). I tell people that when we go, we aren't just spending our time going on Space Mountain again and again. I tell them that we go canoeing, ride horses, go to nightclubs, rent speedboats, go on nature walks, eat in a countless variety of great restaurants, go to water parks, play miniature golf, see awesome dinner shows, etc. And still, people just don't seem to get a clue. It is like it is a concept people just don't seem to grasp for some reason.
On that same note, I've had people ask my advice about making their own trips to WDW and then they don't listen to me and then don't understand why they don't have a good time. For example, I worked with a woman who took her two daughters there right smack in the middle of easter vacation a few years back. I begged her not to go during such a busy time. I even told her which days to avoid which parks because of crowds and told her which days she should go to the water parks and do other stuff. She completely ignored my advice and when she came back, she said she would never go to WDW ever again because it was so crowded and all they did was stand in line the whole time. If only she'd listened to me, she could have had a completely different experience.
