Doin' Disney

So in April we took 2 of our grandsons to Disney World. Why would 2 intelligent adults decide to go to a place where there are wall to wall people, it's hot, sometimes it's raining, you wait on line after line, but then you also see the wonder and excitment in the people you love getting to experience this "magical" place. It's been a very long time since we were there. We did all the things we promised ourselves we wouldn't do, like dragging the kids to rides when they wanted to stop and go to the shooting gallery. Like not going back to the room for a nap when everyone was grouchy. But still, we can't wait to go back. What draws us to such a place of commercialism? What draws us to a place that sucks every last cent out of your bank account? Is it the escape from everyday life? I mean you can do that on the beach.

I haven't figured it out yet, but I do know that I want to leave this life and live at Disney World. I don't want to go to work anymore, or sit around the house anymore. I want to be at Disney World. My husband and I sometimes think up ideas for stories. One time we thought of a place like Disney, where terrorists could shoot chemicals thru the air while everyone is waiting on line and pretty much just take over the world. Maybe that's what happened. I am drugged. I have an unending yearning to go back and give them even more money.

It is fantasy vs reality, it is buzzed vs straight, it is insane vs "normal". Help me escape! Take me to Disney World!
