Does anyone know people that just don't like Disney???
I know, it's a horrible question!!!!
 I only ask because my mother's partner and his son just (in my opinion) don't get it. He goes with us anyways, but he's not into the magic I guess.  Does anyone else know people like this??

Re: Does anyone know people that just don't like Disney???
One of my best friends doesn't like Walt Disney World because he says it's "too fake".
 The ironic part is this: one of his favorite vacation destinations is Las Vegas.

Re: Does anyone know people that just don't like Disney???
Yes, my nephews mother-in-law. She only went once and says she'll never go again. She doesn't understand "why in the world do we waste our money every year at a kids playground". I was totally surprised at that statement, first, it's Disney World, not a kids playground and second, SHE goes to Vegas every year. Talk of wasting money!!

Re: Does anyone know people that just don't like Disney???
My sister in law decided to go to disney during spring break and could not understand why it was so crowded. LOL. Now she swears she will never go again. I tried to tell her to go after Thanksgiving but she does not believe the crowds will be any different. Now she wants to go to the NICK hotel next summer... Doesn't she learn.

Re: Does anyone know people that just don't like Disney???
I worked with a woman who owned stock in Disney, went to WDW once, it rained and they hated it, will never go back. I explained that Disney had no control over the weather, but she wouldn't listen. Just crazy. hehehe Oh yeah, if you have google earth, check out 20:23:45.75 N 81;34;42.16 W. Very big hidden mickey....seen only from sky i think.

Re: Does anyone know people that just don't like Disney???
My brother-in-law hates Disney. He gives me a hard time about it every time we are together and I give it right back to him. He took his daughter to WDW about 5 years ago and they cut their trip short and went to the beach and space center because they had such a bad time. I wish I could take his daughter with us and show her how fun it can be at WDW but I'm worried that she may really dislike it and it would ruin our trip.

Re: Does anyone know people that just don't like Disney???
Almost everyone in my family and my dh's family think we are nuts. They are also of the persuasion that Disney is a big waste of money and can't understand why we keep going back. They,sadly, will never get it!

Re: Does anyone know people that just don't like Disney???
My entire family except for my aunt thinks I am weird!
 And a couple of my friends hate it.. I don't know why, I guess they bought the official guide instead of the unofficial.

Yeah...my BF is very anti-Disney...but he has issues with commercialism.
I'm working on converting him (it's very slow, though)

Re: Does anyone know people that just don't like Disney???
My friend dislikes Disney because she just 'doesn't see what's so special about it'.

Re: Does anyone know people that just don't like Disney???
I'm not close to any people particularly like this, but I definitely know some. I worked with a lot of CMs at Disneyland who "hated" the company and never even thought about playing at the parks...cuz they were "lame".
