I work with a ton of Disney die-hards and it is going to be interesting to see how they handle the grooming news. My husband and I call it The Disney Cult because of the trance it has over some families. I know of two couples who honeymooned at Disney World and always thought that sounded strange to want to celebrate nuptials there.... different strokes for different folks, I suppose.
Nobody wants to find out that something they've loved all their lives is rotten to the core. People have bonded with Disney over decades, growing up watching Disney cartoons and movies, singing its songs, loving its characters, saving up for months or longer to take their children to Disneyworld, where they made wonderful, happy family memories. True Disney lovers are not going to believe Disney is evil until the evidence isn't just murky rumors of a dark underbelly, but out in the open and undeniable. That hasn't happened yet, though there are clearly cracks in the facade.
I don't know when Disney was corrupted; whether it started out corrupt, or was gradually infiltrated the way everything else in our societies has been.
It's tragic to find out that those we trusted have been evilly hurting and manipulating us, but if we can identify how and when the corruption happened, we can take comfort in the fact that it was actually something good once.
OMG! My husband's sister and her family are EXACTLY like this! They can't get enough of Disney World. They make the trip down there several times a year. They are Biden people so I'm sure they won't believe any of this. So sorry for their small grandchildren whom they take along.
I realized something was terribly wrong with Disney after the death of that little boy in the lagoon. Any park that entertains millions of people a year should not have alligators lurking on their property within proper protections in place. There is also this Creepy Pasta from years ago that didn't help my stance on Disney:
Disney land mostly consists of 80% standing in line for overpriced food or for a ride and 15% of your time walking to the food or the ride. When you do get to the ride most of them feel like they take 5 - 10 minutes. Maybe if they had a first of the line pass that works for all the rides all day (like Universal) so I can do all the rides in one day I might visit again.
I know dis. I just thought it would be funnier to throw in some really mundane, uneventful destinations in place of Disney World. Kind of like "I'm going to Dollar General!"

I think you just illustrated “cognitive dissonance” very well. Popcorn indeed. This is JUST ENTERTAINMENT, which is elective to consume.
Do government next. (IRS would be a great start). Talk about people's brains overheating.
I’m ready. So ready.
I guess some discernment is required.

We obviously don't want to find out bad shit but we certainly don't want to ignore and blindly support it.
With all the info out there if you are shocked at this news then your head is stuffed way up your ass. You deserve a shock.

The gators get through the grates when they're small. It's Florida and there's few ways to make any area in that region "gator-free"
This. If you're anywhere in the South near a body of water, assume there's an alligator in it.
That was fucking awesome, thank you, haha
You're welcome! And, creepy is an understatement for that gem!
...or as Kamal-a would say "Cweepy."
I bet the lagoon had a viewing window below... and the entire thing is on video someplace ... These people are sick

"You just won the superbowl, what are you going to do next?"
'I'm going to Disney World!"
This was the catch-phrase of its time. Why Disney World? Why not Waffle House or Western Sizzler?
I'm going to the Bada Bing! (Sopranos fans, looking at you)
From the start they've been paid to say it.

BEcause Disney would pay an athlete $1MM for saying the phrase on TV.
Because it was considered an expensive, exotic get-away vacation type place

I have family member who won't go on vacation anywhere but Disney in Florida.
