What your favorite thing about Disney World
This should be a safe subject. So lets hear everyones favorite thing about Disney World.
I totally agree about some of the Disney Movies, I get so emotional because a lot of the movies the parents are killed or taken away. It is sooooo sad, I remember watching bambi at such a young age and crying because bambi's mother was killed. Dumbo had me in tears when his mom was in a cage and she swung her little dumbo in her trunk and sang to him. Ugh!!!! So sad. It didn't get better, Tarzan the little baby gets eaten by a tiger, Lion King, dad gets killed by his brother. The only ones that weren't sad like that were Aladdin (one of my favorites because of Robin Williams), Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty. There are a ton of others. But it did always make me angry that the movies were like that.
Laura - I hear ya about the Maui plane fare, it must have been expensive. I think going away with the kids is so fun. I want to do a family trip to Puerto Rico. My fiance's family live over there so we tend to stay with them to avoid paying for hotels. I would like to go back to Disney, hopefully when the baby is older so he can remember.

I saw you let your kids watch south park? Have you ever sat and watched South Park with them? That was one that my parents blocked with parental control.
My husband and I are very careful of what our daughters watch, and wear. Heck we went shopping one day for jean shorts for our 5 year old, well we went to Old Navy first, and their shorts were the type that were as my mother would say "too much mattie, not enough shorts" We ended up paying 3 times more for shorts from Dillards just because they were longer.
One thing about Disney is the people that do the movies now, aren't the same that did the movies when Walt Disney was alive.
Our daughters like Cinderella and all the stuff to do with princesses, just because they have beautiful dresses on.
Bambi the movie, gotta say I love that movie. My husband is a hunter though, cause he is from the country so the killing of Bambi's mom isn't too big of a deal with us.
The one thing that we don't allow our kids to play with are Bratz. As I just feel they are too trashy. Barbie's aren't getting much better.
My husband is the type of person that would rather go to South Dakota then to Disney any day, but he is looking forward to seeing it for the first time.
Next trip we are off to Jamaca man... We were going to do that this year, but it is such an issue with getting passports right now so we aren't doing it till probably next year.
The one place that we do go each year is to Smokey Moutains. The problem with that though is Pigeon Forge has gotten out of hand. It seems like it is just one big Panama City there. We took our daughters there and stayed in the cabin where we stayed on our honeymoon.

Oops, "two of my kids" - I edited it because ot all 3 were terrified. Sorry.
Laura - I didn't say Disneyworld was sexualized. I said Disney enterprises. Their movies are extremely violent, and the lead characters are very sexualized. And they're for children.
And no, we don't ever plan on vacationing there, largely because my husband can't stand concrete and crowds and all 2 of my kids were terrified of costumed characters when they were small. So we steered clear.
And my kids had a lot of the disney videos, the ones that weren't impossibly girly - because I have only boys - so it's not like I'm a big prude. They also watch South Park and all the classic horror movies (the classic ones, Hitchcock, etc., not the chop movies like Saw and Friday the 13th, etc.)
I think the Disney movies are very off-putting. Most of the ones of the last 20 years have extremely sexualized male and female leads, the families have only one parent and often that parent is killed in a horrific and memorable scene, and often the child actually causes the death of the parent. Gads!! Even in the old Disney classics, the child is parentless and defenseless in the face of a very threatening world.
Think of the horrible scenes - the death of the Mufasa, the death of Bambi's father, the death of the toymaker by a hitman while the little mouse girl cowered in a closet in Great Mouse Detective. Where was her mother to begin with, and now she has NO parents!
I have kind of shocked other parents with what I'll let my kids watch movie-wise, and I don't think they've ever been as disturbed as they are watching Disney stuff.
Ah well. Carry on.

I loved going to Disney growing up. It was alot of fun. I as you stated didn't become more sexual from going there. Heck I was one of those girls that didn't like the attention I got from guys.
We also use to go to Maui every year day after Christmas for 2 weeks. That was great too. I am looking forward to taking my family there, the plane fair is outragous though. If I remember right the plane fair was about 1300 per person last time I checked into it.
I am going to make reservations at Narcosis here in a bit.
My parents always liked going to tea at Grand Floridean. That was their little hour get away from us kids on our vacation. haha
I think it is important to travel with our kids. My husbands parents never took them anywhere, and he hates that he couldn't see things growing up. Heck he's never even seen the ocean yet, so we are going to rent a car one day we are down there and head over to Daytona Beach so he can see it.

Narcosis is casual, I know the place you are talking about and no you don't have to dress up for this one. They have great seafood. Disney is a wonderful place for children, it teaches about different cultures at Epcot, it is also extremely entertaining for children. I really don't think little girls sit and watch the disney movies and go gee, that girl is over sexualized. It is enjoyment for the entire family and the women in costumes aren't showing cleavage or being sexual in any way. I think it's a wonderful place to take the family.
