Probably because my parents took my brother and I to real places, with real people to see real things.

And if there was a Barney's World or Land of the Teletubbies for little kids, that's fine.

But for actual adults to be addicted to Wally World seems more than a little strange to me (if not downright pathological).

I have been to a couple of world's fairs. Waiting in line is NOT my favorite occupation. Glorfindel Oct 2017 #7

So you are denigrating a place you've never visited? ClarendonDem Oct 2017 #9
