Please define "Peopletrap".
Please define "Mouse".

I've never wanted to go to Disneyland because I get uncomfortable around animatronics. I find them creepy, especially when they malfunction.

It takes $100 or more per person, per day to stand in line 2 to 3 hours for a 7-minute ride.  Plus, ever ride exits into a Disney souvenir store full of schlock made in local Anaheim garages and sweat-shops.

Wow! Anyone would think that they are only in it for the money! Do people actually pay that?

You know, as opposed to mouse traps operated by people. To be fair, most mouse traps don't require an operator.
That would be a really boring job most of the time. :nerdy:

About 51,000 people each day.

Also, it is not unusual to pay $20.00 for a meal with the taste and texture one normally finds in a high school cafeteria.

Just before the pandemic, I took a solo trip to Disney World and I don't think it's worth it.

1. Everything is very expensive and everything is about money. So Disney tends to draw people with money and snotty attitudes
2. It's better if you go to the park with someone or a group, otherwise it's lonely. Everyone sticks together in a group.
3. In the past,before the smart phone and the mobile app, I could talk to other guests. Everyone was addicted to their fast pass on the mobile app.
4. It's crowded
5. It's always hot

I wanted to ride the Tower of Terror more than once which I did in the past.

Honestly, I would rather go to the beach when I am in FL because things are cheaper.

The quote is "Disneyland is the most successful person trap ever devised by a mouse".

Hard to argue with that.

:lol:

I have never been to Disneyland because it's too far away. Just Disney world and the mouse figured out how to set a wider number of people traps. All the while the mouse is a slave driver for people who work for Disney. They also don't pay them much for all the work those poor cast members put in.

At this point though, I would rather subscribe to Disney+ as they have some good movies and shows.

That's a smoother phrasing. Ultimately it's just a wordplay joke and we're all over-thinking a little bit. :nerdy:

Even worse is Disney World.

1. More crazy people because, you know, Florida.

2. More crowded and complex.

3. Greater opportunity for COVID spread because of more people and DeSatan's horrible approach.

Ride waits can't really be 2-3 hours..

I was there in 1991. Good memories - lots of fun. Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, iirc we swung by Las Vegas that trip, did the Oregon Coast, and we walked across the border into Tijuana.

That was 1991.  I was there about 6 months B.C. (Before Covid), and stood nearly 2 hours in the line for Haunted Mansion, and a little over 3 hours for the Jungle Ride.  That was also the last time I ever went to Disneyland.
