I spent my whole childhood in Alaska and my first trip to Disneyland was as a early teen, which is a shitty time to do anything as a family really. More so when your family is poor and you cant spend any money at all while in the park.

By comparison going to Disney World and then Disneyland again as an adult, when you never had good childhood experiences in theme parks, has been great. Sure John had fun this last trip, but deep down I still feel like I had the most fun of everyone. So screw you guys and you grown up negativity, I don't need magic to enjoy the hell out of rides. I never knew what the magic was anyway. Also I'm cool with waiting in lines so maybe that helps a bit in the end.
