>Obviously you never took a photo of your 3-year-old daughter shaking hands with Minnie Mouse or accompanied a 2-year-old through "It's a Small world" or sailed with them into the Whale's mouth on the fairy tale ride? ;-) Sheesh, at age 15 I went on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and even as an oldster almost as disgruntled as you, I still enjoy sailing through the attack on the fort.

I was raised in a fairly anti-Disney household. (I've never seen a lot of the Disney "classics" most people my age have.) But taking my 3 1/2 year old to DisneyWorld and seeing the look on his face when he saw a larger-than-life Winnie the Pooh was priceless. We have a great photo of him hugging Pooh. (FWIW, I was raised on Milne--the books, not the movie.)
