Are you kidding me? A seven-year-old boy actually asked this question a couple of days ago while his dad was tucking him into bed for the night.
“Daddy, why do we go to Disney World, like, every weekend almost?”
The dad blinked and said, “Buh … wha … because it’s DISNEY World! Are you serious? What kind of … why WOULDN’T we … I … it’s. Oh, just go to sleep.”
Well, we’re going back again, even if Jay has a difficult time figuring out why.
Surely, it’s self-explanatory? I mean, if I was seven, and someone said to me, “Hey, guess what? We’re going to Hollywood Studios on Saturday and Epcot on Sunday! And we’re staying at the All-Star Movies Resort, which has giant statues of dalmations and other rad stuff!” — I’d be all like, “Awesome! Can’t wait!”
But this guy, my older son, kind of yawned it off.
Seriously?
What about this:
Or this?
I’m hoping he was just tired when he asked that silly, befuddling question. I know his brother is fired up. Even though we just went on Saturday, and we went two times before that since purchasing the seasonal passes in February.
OK. Maybe it’s overkill. There just might be a point of diminishing returns for the Year of Disney. I find it hard to believe we’ve approached that point just yet, though. I mean … really. We’ve got another 11 months to go with this. He’s just going to have to suffer through, I suppose.
Kind of like he and his brother suffered through this day at Epcot:

Damn it he’ll like it! having to put your foot down on Disney World sounds un-American. I asked my boys if they wanted to go to Disney World. One was nervous to fly. The other was more enthused. Both however were leery when I said we would give up our typical summer trip to the Jersey Shore (Ocean City). Like you, I was flabbergasted.
I think he was just tired. I hope so, anyway. We’ll find out tomorrow.
There’s photo of me taken when I was four. I’m by the Dumbo ride, wearing a set of ears, and I am not happy. At all. I was hot and tired and ready to go home.
Man was I a little sh*thead.
Ha! Funny thing is, so far, our little ingrates have been grinning ear to ear in just about every photo we’ve taken at Disney this year. I think they (like me) just enjoy complaining about stuff.
