I saw a show on the Travel Channel about Tokyo DL and one of the things they mentioned was how everyone there dresses up to go to the parks. (and they don't have them get as big of a "splash" on the water rides b/c they have good clothes on.) I learned from the photos that we were like that at one time, too! :)

    That's ironic since there weren't any mermaids in 20,000 Leagues (unless the lagoon was technically "Mermaid's Lagoon" or somethin'). I wonder how that worked, considering dangers from the sun and such...if each mermaid swam out to her station for 15 or 30 minutes or what? It's so cool and surreal seein' 'em there and wavin', though.
