Too Late

I can remember as a kid how badly I wanted to go to Disney World. I always thought that the "rich kids" were the only kids fortunate enough to go. The only family vacations we ever went on was to Roxie, Mississippi to visit my grandmother for the summer. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed that as kid, and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. But somewhere in the back of my mind, I always wondered what it would be like to travel to different places. As I matured, I accumulated some independence, and I started going out of town with my cousins. Once I got to law school, I started travelling by myself. And once I got into my profession, I began to travel either for professional reasons or leisure. But the destinations were more conducive to my adult personality. I think after I made 27, I stopped thinking about visiting Disney World, so I didn't have an interest in spending a lot of money on an amusement park(s). If I'm going to spend over a thousand dollars for a trip, I want it to be serene, exotic, and adult with a sexy ambiance. As for Disney World, I think I waited too late in life to take in this experience. I don't regret visiting because I can add it to the list of places I've been to, but I know this is not on my "must do again" list.

Of the four parks, I went to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios. I only enjoyed Epcot, and that was probably because of its educational and cultural aspects. Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios was an absolute bore to me. I think that's more for the young, or young at heart. Now my opinion of Disney World isn't law or gospel of course. Everyone else there seemed to be enjoying themselves. I've come to the conclusion that I'm the odd one. If you like theme parks and make believe fantasy stuff, then this is the place for you. If not, make sure you have kids with you if you plan to visit.
