I work with a guy who is constantly harassing me about my and my families love of Disneyland. He can't image how my kids could possibly continually want to come back and he think I am just wasting money on Corporate America, AKA... Disney.
My wife and I came before we had kids and we've been back 4 times since we have had our kids. 5 times in 10 years for people from the far north is a lot when a trip cost thousands and thousands of dollars. we have never complained about spending the money. We love Disneyland.
What people don't realize is that Disney is a part of my families life. It is ingrained in our being. If you got Disney in your blood, no one can change you, Ever!
He is just hating because you are happy and he is not. - VfxGenie

That's exactly it... some people don't understand the purity and happiness of Disneyland, and are too bitter and corrupted to be happy in such an innocent place. - clarabelle87 182.9 #1824 9:10PM
Exactly genie! I am.surrounded with the same kind ppl - PiratePrincess03 103.8 #2984 9:12PM
If he thinks your wasting money, he probably doesn't have any. Glad you can spend the time with family 👍 - xtigerxlilyx 62.0 #3531 10:36PM
Very well said. We are all related on here with Disney blood. - PrincessDelaine

how cute. Figure out your costume? :) - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1772.5 #42 9:11PM
Decided to do the Boo thing. I love her and that's all that matters. If you see me come say hi, I'll buy you a churro :) - PrincessDelaine 170.9 #1991 9:24PM
I'll never understand why DL is so controversial. We get comments all the time, but it's no one's business how I spend my leisure time. I'd never make fun of someone for buying a jet ski or a new bike or traveling to Hawaii or Europe! For some reason, people feel the need to pipe up about DL, though. It's quite odd. I've learned to just ignore it, but it bothered me at first because it came from my family :( - Spoonful_O_Sugar

You shouldn't let anybody words bother u ,disney makes millons of people happy and he is proably someone that isn't happy. Who would want to hang out with someone who. Harasses people like that. - pikarich

There comes a point in life where you can't even worry or care what people think, as long as it makes you happy (and isn't illegal or causing harm to others). It takes some time, but it's doable. - Sweet_Irish_Cream
2523.4 #23 9:09PM
why should it even bother people what others like? Or what they DO? It's silly. It's not like it changes or impacts their life, right? You go on enjoying it and come play here with us :) - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint

I happen to be very relaxed when I visit DL. So to me it's money well spent for a relaxing vacation. - mightymike10

Got the same thing here too...Some friends who just don't get it and my future in laws too 😕 Just gotta look past it though, as long as your happy and love what you're doing that's all that matters. - disneykimmi

I like how you think!
- 559MickeyLover 266.9 #853 9:45PM
Boy. He sounds like a real peach! I hope you don't listen to him. What a jerk! If he isn't paying
For your trips, it's none of his business what you do with you spare time! Sheesh! He must be jealous or just really unhappy. Good for you for being able
And willing to do things that make your family happy! That is what it's all about! Cute Minnie's in your pic, by the way! - meridafan

I'll be honest, I did not expect to enjoy Disney the way I did. The first time I went, I was expecting to be blown away by the prices and lack of thrill-rides. Instead, I was floored by the magic that lurked around every corner. For me, it made me remember my carefree childhood when I believed that dreams not only could come true, but that they do. But let's face it, not everybody can get past the price tag, and of those even fewer enjoy being transported to a more simplistic time. It's not for everybody. I'm just so glad I discovered that it is for me. - LittleAprilShowers

Your experience was mine to a tee. Now I can't wait to get back. Thanks - Henny 9.7 #6836 10:26PM
Amen! I people tell me the same things! - rochellebrady

Thanks all. I don't harass people that want to sit day in and day out on a beach and get drunk for a week about their choice in holidays. We like to be busy and you can't have a busier holiday than a Disney Holiday!
You better do what makes you happy in this life because life goes by really quick!
Thanks again. - Henny

I used to be like that..... Part of it comes from an honest desire to put corporate money to work for the less fortunate. I will leave politics out of this, HOWEVER dude shouldn't be knocking your FAMILY and your happy outlet. Even if I have my opinions, they are just that... Opinions. Since having my daughter i have learned to lighten up, enjoy the innocent parts of life, and re-embrace magic. Hope your coworker can too. It is nicer on this side:) - templeclan

That guy needs to take a chill pill ! You know what it's your money you can spend it as you like ! It's the best thing to have family memories that live on through you and your family !! I don't mind soending on that as that guy said "wasteing money " on my family who I know will enjoy every bit of that hard earn working money that my hubby has worked his lil tush off . I have tons of awsome memories w/ my parents when we went every summer when we were kids ! It was the best feeling and still is till this day!! So whatever to that dude and awsome for you 👍.. Keep on having wonderful trips and make those memories last a life time !! - jmza4

We live in nor cal and try to go 3-4 times a year but our friends and family know how much we live it. We don't go on cruises or fly to far away places. We go to DL and never feel bad about spending 'our' money the way we want. - Pinup Princess

His name doesn't happen to be Isaac does it? Just kidding, sorta. I know someone who is very negative about Disneyand, but he's just a big bitterbuns. - aidensmama

When you've grown up with DL, it becomes part of who you are! You want to share it with those you love. And you can't stay away. We've embraced the magic and are better people for it :) - azcoolmom
