I love the feeling I get wehn I'm there, that euphoric, happy, nostalgic, magical feeling. I love the way everything is clean and nice and pristine all the time. Some people don't get that. For example, the other day at school I said that I preferred Disneyland to Disney World. The girls I was talking to didn't get it. They were like, "but Disney World has so many more rides!" I knew if I tried to explain it to them, they still wouldn't get it, so i lamely said "I just like it more." In reality, Disneyland seems more charming an magical to me, and Disney World is so big and commercialized. Believe me, I love them both, both of them have made me cry with happiness, but I prefer Disneyland. It just annoys me so much when people act like that! Anyone else agree?

I can't say anyone has even been rude to me about it but I have seem some head shaking. They often want to understand but it seems to be one of those things that you either have it or you don't.
