Neo,

re DisneyWorld
I am sure I would have had an even more negative impression of the place. My parents, however, were impressed by Epcot when they visited a few years ago. My niece and nephews who went were delighted by the whole thing, their parents were noncommittal when asked for an opinion which may have had as much to do with the cost as the "tawdriness" of the place. ggg

I like to think that if Walt had survived to oversee the project to completion it would have been better. He was an artist after all, no matter how commercial.

Does the phrase "herding cats" come to mind? 8<}

>> It depressed me to think that this might be the only trip that some of them take to the States, to experience this great country as a set of theme parks.

They could worse. They could visit Maryland. But then again, no one would pay to do that.

I remember when I interviewed at Johns Hopkins. My father told me I would go to that dump over his dead body.
