You feel superior if you go to Tokyo Disneyland many times, while it makes others feel they must go as well.

    I quite enjoy Disneyland, despite the crowds. I guess I have been there about 30 times in the past 20 years. The little children look so cute with their Mickey Mouse caps.

    One of my wife's former HS classmates got married at Dizzyland. I was able to get out of it and once I saw the pix I'm so glad I didn't attend. So incredibly artificial, complete with a visit by the rats themselves. I completely understand it as a fantasy theme park for children but as a setting for two adults for their wedding, I am befuddled.

    Why would you feel superior going to Disneyland? You don't need to be a rocket scientist or anything to go there just pay a bit of money.

    On the occasions that I go I enjoy myself but feel superior?
