Growing up in southern California. Disneyland was common, and so common that I ended up working there. It’s changed a lot in the last twenty years.

I still go to Disneyland regularly, but it’s always because I know someone that can still get me and my family in. I’m fortunate that I haven’t paid to go to Disneyland in over 16 years, and I’ve been hundreds of times. Now, I typically get disappointed when I’m there. I’ve seen the parks go downhill and the prices go way, way up.

I’ve been to Sea World growing up, since it was a two hour drive. And Lego Land. And Six Flags.

It’s not the parks that are spoiled, it’s the flights and hotels that make these things wild trips for spoiled kids.
