The people and prices are insane. The behavior is one thing, but the sheer number of people crammed into these tiny spaces is so uncomfortable and unpleasant. I’m alllllll set with that.
Look, the endorphins and other neurotransmitters that come from floating through the air on that big swing or down the giant slide are the same whether you’re in Orlando or Oneida. Who needs all the other bullshit of Florida.
Maybe the one in California isn’t as unappealing. There, at least you’re in California and not Florida.

The worst is Magic Kingdom during the night show. It gets stupidly packed. It’s the only time I’ve needed to move through a crowd but physically ran into them as if they were a wall. I had to get back to my family after using the bathroom but I basically had to beg people to make an opening. I think they thought I was trying to get a good spot without waiting.

Had a laugh picturing this. You have to use a call to action to get people to help you get through. Get them to look at you and then look the way you’re going, and start tapping shoulders to help you through. “Coming through” “make a hole” “help me through please.” As you catch people’s attention, nod and gesture to direct their attention forward. It’s like surfing. You’ll catch waves. Helps to be male with a sobering voice I think.

The closer to the front I got the less people were will to budge. I remember one guy saying “I don’t think there’s any room up there for you,” and I had to point to my family and be like “no dude, they’re right there waiting for me” lol.
