captain_slinkyWhen I tell people that I prefer Disneyland over Walt Disney World, even though I've never been to Walt Disney World, they're usually incredulous and try to convince me that no I really DO love Walt Disney World MORE Than I love Disneyland and that I really really want to go to Walt Disney World instead of Disneyland. It's almost like they're *offended* that I'd rather go to Disneyland!
The best way I can put it is like this:
Disneyland is an awesome book, like... like The Hobbit. One of those books that you want to read over and over again, and every time you read it you pick up something new or a new hidden meaning or new understanding of a character and it just seems different every time you read it even though it's the exact same book.
Walt Disney World is like a DVD Boxed Set of The Lord of The Rings Trilogy. They did an awesome job on the adaptation even if they did have to make some parts shorter and omit certain scenes or characters, but they got it *right*. And the Deleted Scenes! And the extra disk of Behind-The-Scenes documentaries and interviews and don't even get me STARTED on the Director's Commentary! SO MUCH TO SEE AND DO, you'll need to devote several days to watching these DVD's to get everything! It's just so EPIC!
But really, I don't want to sit down and watch those DVD's... I just want to go back and read The Hobbit again. Lord of The Rings is awesome and all and I'll watch that when I'm in the mood... but for now I'd rather just read The Hobbit again :)
