I used to take my kids to World's of Fun before I could afford to take them to anything Disney owned, in fact, that's where my first wife and I went on our honeymoon.
I haven't been to Branson in years. There are way too many people around the KC area as well, and we are looking to move. Sad to hear SDC is doing that. I heard COVID almost put them under.
Who needs cheap Chinese shit sold at an amusement park? Take a hike in the wilderness and bring a naturalist book and figure out leaves, flowers, and geologic formations in your own! Don’t wait to be entertained, discover the world yourself!!
It took me too long to figure that out for myself.
Now that our kids are out of the house and my wife has taken on added responsibilities at work I've started solo backpacking through different countries in Europe.
I'd have had a much different life if I'd started doing that forty years ago instead of waiting until I retired.
I think at our stage in life, we realize the time we wasted pursuing career and family was fulfilling, but we are remis for what that time could have been... Not that it is wrong to want to pursue either career or family - it’s just that as our time on earth becomes relevant, and we look back at what we thought was important, and see that the time ahead of us is limited, well … it all starts to shrink… and the relevance of what we thought we wanted to be vs what we could have benefitted from the start makes us question our choices.
But make no mistake, we are where we are because of our choices. So we HAVE to accept them. And gain comfort in the journey.
However, I do envy those “hippies” who do understand that and just take themselves and their families along for the ride. As long as that journey is faith based.
I’m just not sure about Dolly. She’s either got great genetics, plastic surgeon or into Adrenochrome. She’s really chummy with Miley Cyrus & just did a phone company commercial with her.
I’m not saying I wouldn’t go to Dollywood, just have suspicions.
I am still on Disney World groups on FB. The parks are still full. People are having trouble getting in, since you not only have to buy a ticket, but also have to have a "reservation". They forget to make the reservation and the park is at max capacity so they can't go in. People are complaining about the crowds. I think the 70% saying they won't support Disney sounds good, but it must be in merchandise and TV/movies (which were killed by covid anyhow), and not the parks.
I agree, it’s probably mainstream families aren’t buying merch, movies, music & not letting kids watch. I have unfollowed all the Disney accounts on Instagram. I used to follow a lot of fan accounts, shopping & Disney. I had already unfollowed before the pedo news surfaced. I’m a life long Walt Disney World fan & have been a lot! First time was 1973 & I don’t know how many times I’ve been.
The mask mandates got me. I know lots of people were going during that time because the parks were almost empty. If it was free I wouldn’t have gone. For months I read the comments on accounts between pro mask/vax & anti. It was very entertaining🤣
Honestly I keep reading because it was so entertaining. Finally I unfollowed them all. Disney accounts pop up on my feed & will read comments.
If you think the majority of people are awake take a look at accounts like that. Anything that’s dedicated to obsession of someone or an activity. We have a long way to go before the masses are awake!
I’m not saying I won’t ever go back to WDW. I absolutely do love it. However I’m not defending anyone with Disney! Disney has been loosing its way on the business side for almost a decade or more. That’s something I’m seeing in the comments a lot! They have taken away many free perks & are charging for things that were free. Or, it’s just not available anymore if you don’t stay in a deluxe resort.
Their deluxe resort prices were ridiculous years ago.
Now people have were shut in so long or not taking scheduled trips Disney is at max compacity daily. Even in the winter months they were packed every day. When the Europeans were able to fly here it really didn’t help. (Not saying they don’t deserve to visit)
I don’t have small children or grandkids, my child watched the movies in the 90s. But she watched just about every other kids entertainment. We were not Disney centered with TV.
DeSantis also signed into law Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education” bill. The bill prohibits teachers from giving classroom instruction on “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” in kindergarten through third grade.
Though DeSantis is trying to do something good with this bill, as a parent and a grandparent, I think he should prohibit teachers from discussing/instructing these things with any child in the school system, no matter the grade/age. It's not the place of a teacher to discuss/instruct these things with their students.
I just attempted a search on Brave browser. I couldn’t find anything. In the 90s when my child was small in I would see news magazines on this topic at church and the Christian book store. Now magazines are almost obsolete, I would think someone at a church or “family morals” based group would have a link,
If you are on Facebook or know someone there might be groups dedicated to this topic.
Something I’ve noticed months ago across all my searches on Google, Brave & DuckDuckGo the normal type content I can’t find.
I don’t use Duck anymore, only use google if I can’t find on Brave. For example looking up information on herbs or essential oils I used to get sites by certified people in those fields. Now I get gov & hospital medical sites. Even on Brave it’s censored.
Search for Christian, faith based, morality pages posting kid approved. (You don’t have to believe in Christianity or other religions to agree with raising kids with morals) I used to think people that went by these guides were the crazy religious nuts. Fast forward to my child almost 30 & being here I finally get it! However, my daughter didn’t have free range of the TV. We were very blessed she wasn’t a kid that tested limits. Everyone at church used to tell us how well behaved & sweet she was. It scared us & it’s probably why we only had one. (Don’t rock the boat)
I believe there is Amazon Kids. However I wouldn’t trust Amazon or any media company. I’m 55, rated R & PG content certainly isn’t what it was when I was a kid. Heck I didn’t grow up with PG 13, etc. I saw one rated R movie before I was 16-17. It was Stripes, my friend got her mom to drop us off at the movie. We paid for some kids cartoon movie & snuck in Stripes. I was 14, 1981 & that wasn’t like it is today with six+ movies at one time.
From my experience with some friends and family kids & myself, they will find a way to watch or do what you deny. It’s human nature. I also think that comes back to having a respectful relationship & pushing a kid to hard in your beliefs. My cousins son wasn’t allowed to have junk food or sodas. As soon as he hit my house he went straight to the snacks and sodas. He’d drink one in seconds and ask for another. (He turned out good)
Good luck, I can’t imagine raising kids right now. Every parent has a fight on their hands.
PS: after I mentioned Amazon kids I remembered years ago Ellen Degeneres came out with her own version of YouTube for kids. I think there’s a YouTube kids. The 💡 just went off. I bet she was tracking accounts that signed up on her kids video app.
Set up Jellyfin or Kodi. Its not hard and you can use any old computer, even a Raspberry Pi. Then get a DVD ripper and rent movies from the library. Rip them, then add them to your collection. The best part is that most of the stuff at the library is pre-woke.
Majority were also against mandates, vaxing the kids and following mandates, but they followed and obeyed anyways...I do hope Disney goes down but I doubt it as Gov is financing them
I still see comments about that. Disney accounts pop on my Instagram feed & I’m nosy. I just read a comment talking about the mask. Said they had a great time but because of the mask police all you can’t see their faces. (I’ve already posted here, I have been my entire life) I would not have gone if it was free & wear a mask.
Do not hold back. Continue until there is nothing left. Do not be complacent. Do not give them an inch. We need to work hard to ensure this perversion and filth is minimised, and if possible, cleansed from this world. Fuck groomers. Fuck pedophiles.
They were warned.

Come to Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri! Awesome rides and attractions, and a beautiful lake area that is majorly based and patriotic!!!
There's also world's of fun / oceans of fun in KC. And six flags in St Louis if it's still around.
In Florida, there's Busch gardens.
No idea if any of those are woke, though.
I used to take my kids to World's of Fun before I could afford to take them to anything Disney owned, in fact, that's where my first wife and I went on our honeymoon.
My brother and I went every summer when we were kids. I think it actually has more rides than Disney World. 😂
Left Bramson for AK - way too many people in Branson! Ruined the area I grew up in. And SDC sells cheap Chinese shit now.
I haven't been to Branson in years. There are way too many people around the KC area as well, and we are looking to move. Sad to hear SDC is doing that. I heard COVID almost put them under.
We'll be there in September. We are doing our first ever family reunion in Branson.
It’s so much fun! Branson is a great family friendly, clean, Christian, and patriot town! And the area is beautiful in general!
Ty fren and remember this

Like Trump said, giving the power back to you the American people
Yeah, but what alternatives are there that aren't pulling the same crap?
dollywood
Well, and no one ever died from not watching cartoons or going to amusement parks. Disney is dispensable.
very true

you don't need it, but the kids like roller coasters. I am getting too old for them. :)
I’m just not sure about Dolly. She’s either got great genetics, plastic surgeon or into Adrenochrome. She’s really chummy with Miley Cyrus & just did a phone company commercial with her. I’m not saying I wouldn’t go to Dollywood, just have suspicions.
oh, I agrer, I dont think much of her. But, dollywood as an attraction is not like disney and doesnt seem tainted.
Maybe🤷🏼♀️ That’s what I thought about Disney for fifty years. I just saw she now has an ad with Taco Bell & singing.
true, probably still feeding the beast.
we repeat twitter. we wait until the price bottoms out, buy it, and make it what it should be.
Carefully selected books.

A lot of people have already spent the money, taken off work etc. I would bet that the parks start drying up in 6 months

70% out of how many? Who did they ask?
Are the parks full or empty? Do people still buy their stuff or not? How many even give two shits about any of it?
This is just as bad as the lefties and their surveys saying 90% want to be fucked harder in the ass by their government.

You reminded me of something so I posted it. CDAN post about Disney. Satanism connection. Drugs and pornography.
After all these years, Disney is losing it's "brand" Sux to be them.
Anyone have a good list of family friendly alternatives to Disney Plus , Netflix, and Amazon Prime video?
Carefully screened books.

Yeah, Disney can fuck off and bankrupt. Sadly this won't happen because the politicians help them financially
They are dead to me and having raised six kids they got more than their fare share of my income over the years.
I can promise my next three generations won't. Beyond that hopefully they'll learn from their pops about how disgusting and evil Disney is
This is the way.
Oh we didn't have to resort to censorship?
Do not hold back. Continue until there is nothing left. Do not be complacent. Do not give them an inch. We need to work hard to ensure this perversion and filth is minimised, and if possible, cleansed from this world. Fuck groomers. Fuck pedophiles.
Crash and burn in their deception! It’s a great sign!
I'd rather kill the roaches and rejuvenate Disney.
It's difficult, I know, but not impossible.
