Disneyland, the happiest place on earth MY ASS!

Recommended Posts

Oh yeah, it's the 50th anniversary. Everything's Disneyland Disneyland Disneyland. So I agree to go for the weekend with my honey finally. All I have to say is FUCK that place! You turn a corner and suddenly there's 40 strollers coming right at you followed by hugely overweight families from all over the country stopping right in the middle of the street all holding hands in a line and blundering on about nothing. The lines are all over an hour long. I don't see how anyone can possibly go to Disneyland for just one day and get to go on all or even some of the good rides. It sucked. "the happiest place on earth!" Yeah right.

Never go to Disneyland on the weekend.
Bob's stayed Monday and Tuesday and said the lines were more like 10 to 20 minutes long so I guess weekdays are ok but they don't do the firework show on weeknights.

Mickey Mouse can kiss my ass.
I didn't even see Donald Duck and I wanted to see him running around with no pants on. >:(

Stupid Disneyland.

The rides we did go on weren't nearly as fun as when I was a kid too.

Did I mention there were even lines to get your picture taken with a freakin character? Lines for goofy, the Little Mermaid, pretty much anyone in a suit. It was retarded. Why are people waiting an hour in line to see a fucking man in a suit acting like a dork? I can do that on halloween man.

(sorry, just felt like bitching) :)

I loved the tea cup ride when I was a kid. :$



Teacup ride wait, 80 minutes. I think not!

And ACME I do realize the weekdays are much better. Bob kept telling me that but I'm stubborn and I don't want to take days off other than for skyding. I'm an idiot sometimes.

I think Space Mountain is STILL one of the all time best rollercoasters. The darkness and ambience totally make that ride.

But...I don't really want to go again UNTIL I get an opportunity to go DURING the week while school is in session. The lines SUCK!

Disneyland is only good if you like Mickey, Goofy, Minnie, etc. I went when I was 10 and only liked the Pirates and the Haunted House rides.

All the staff there have strict appearance codes - men are not allowed to have facial hair (it frightens kids apparently) and no piercings or visible tattoos and head hair a certain length.

Women have to have their hair styled in a certain way, hemlines are set at a certain length and no unsightly piercings/make-up/visible tattoos.

Everything is controlled down to the last detail.

Universal Studios rocks, especially as the Warner Bros/Nickolodean cartoon characters kick ass!

I suppose Disney v Warner Bros is like Barbie v Sindy....

Obviously I was a Sindy girl as a child!!!

In reply to the facial hair.. disney has finally relaxed on that, and allow a mustache *if it is already grown* but must be well groomed, not to go past the lip line.

I'm sorry you didnt have a good experience with the crowds. this last weekend was surprisingly busy for the time of year. its been very busy then dieing down in the late evening.

so if you want to go again, and try to enjoy your visit *free if you talk to me and i sign you and 2 others in* and i HAVE seen some of the characters run around in there undies.. oh do i have stories i could tell! *shudders*

yeah, i work for the mouse, so what! who cares.. its fair money. so what if they treat me like a pile of cow dung, and they treat the animals in circle D better than they do the cast members in foods. bitter, i think not.

The closest I have ever come to a nervous breakdown was Disneyland last MLK day...I was watching a 4 year old girl, 3 - 13 year old girls and my sister had her 5 year old.

I finally told my sister to meet us somehere later, told the 13 yr olds to go do thir own thing and still almost went nuts trying to watch the 4 yr old. It will EXHAUST you...I was even more pissed because my sis PROMISED me they sold beer.

The little girl I was watching is the cutest thing and the love of my life but I almost got my nuts cut off after that day.

I did have one funny moment, and I made a lot of people laugh,,,,,That one bitch from 101 dalmations,,,,Curella DeVille??? Some lady was dressed as her and she told Destiny in a snotty tone "I don't like children, get away from me!" or something like that....

I said...."Wasn't I married to you once?"

Everyone around laughed their ass off, she even smirked.....

This is what happens when our kind tries to go out among the "normals." As time goes on, you will learn that we cannot interact with them. During the weekends, it's important to remain among your own kind and only go into their world on occasion.

Symptoms of exposure to "normals" may include; general irritability, diarrhea, depression, sudden urges to bitch-slap, and in some extreme cases, the feeling of your skin being peeled off.

If you find yourself with any of these symptoms, please immediately stop interacting with "normals" and go see your local Doctor of Manifest.

This has been a Public Service Announcement.
Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

The popularity of Disneyland and Disneyworld is symptomatic of our nation's completely skewed views on the nature of fun. This is an excerpt from a blog post I made on the subject:

"I believe the second pitfall of most fun seekers is a problem of mythos. Our society holds to too many deep-seated myths about what is and is not fun. Most of these myths glorify activities that, when put under the microscope, really aren't much fun at all. I challenge anyone to explain to me what about Disneyworld is fun for anyone over the age of ten. Why do we think paying sixty dollars a person to spend all day standing in lines for bad, overpriced food; poorly made, overpriced trinkets; and rides that were outdated twenty years ago is fun? We think it is fun because society tells us it is! You can only hear the trademarked slogan 'The happiest place on earth' so many times before you start to believe it."
I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

Wow...Great Post....
That is EXACTLY how I feel about a lot of things....I have never been able to 'fake' having fun...

Concerts bore me, State Fairs suck, and going out to smoky clubs with a bunch of drunk asshoes I dont know is not fun either.

Getting shitfaced in the Bombshelter where I know EVERYONE is a blast. Actually, skydiving kind of bores me...The people keep me entertained.

Does that mean I am not a lemming?

The best weekend day to go to Disneyland is Super Bowl Sunday. Really. Did that a few years ago and it was great - waited about 10 minutes for Space Mountain and about the same for Splash Mountain and those were the longest lines we encountered.

But I agree, any other weekend day, forget it! It ain't worth the hassle.

Greetings from Disneyland!

Saw your boyfreind yesterday. He's hanging out with another skirt.

Dumb ass! You went on the weekend! Even Jett know that Mon and Tues are the best days. Better yet if there is a chance of rain.

The longest we've been waiting in line is 10 minutes. And that is for that stupid story book ride. But on everything else, we're running up to the front every time.

I came once on the weekend and almost popped a blood vessel in my head. No more of that!

I have to go eat with the Goofy now...... see ya!

Peace and Blue Skies!

Sorry you didn't enjoy your experience. Maybe it was because of the anniversary or you were there during peak season. I was there several years ago and had a much better experience. Give it another try sometime, and hopefully you might find it quite enjoyable.

Cheers,

Richards.

PS. you are obsessed with seeing Donald Duck without pants....you perve!
My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

I'm glad you liked it. HERE is a link to the complete article. I agree with your evaluation of most concerts, but I did concede for the sake of the article that engaging concerts can be fun.

I think one incident changed my perception of my fellow man more than anything else. I was at a Diamondbacks game in PHX. Baseball is boring enough, but I had a free ticket and the roof was cool to watch open.

No shit, between innings, on the big screen, they had cartoon catsup and mustard bottles that were racing each other. The entire stadium went crazy cheering for their favorite condiment in an obviously fixed competition. They were cheering like it was Jeff Gordon. The guy I was with and I looked at each other in disbelief and left.

Am I from another planet? Sometimes I think so.

Your attitude sucks.

Disneyland/California adventure has to be approached like a military campaign where vitory is measured by the percentage of major attractions in both parks are ridden in one day.

Listen up, Marine:

Enter park when it opens, either one. Go directly to the ride you want to ride most and get a fastpass, ride another favorite ride and go to the other park (CA adventure/Disneyland) and get a fastpass and wait in a regular line. Alternate between parks using a fastpass and waiting once on each side. When on the CA adventure side, have cocktail.

Have whoever in the party hates rides or gets too wasted spread out a blanket in front of the fence in front of the Huck Finn island and hold spots for everybody else for the Fantastic show and then the fireworks. It helps if this person has a little barf in their hair.

You gotta Work It!

I love Disneyland. But you have to have a plan if you go when it's crowded.
