My parents never did any extravagant trips like to Disney world or Sea world. Knowing what I know now I'm kinda grateful for that.

What do you know now that makes you grateful?
Just saw Blackfish?
SeaWorld I understand but why Disney?
Is there a documentary about mouse abuse? Unlike SeaWorld, Disney World seems a large enough environment for a human sized mouse to thrive.
Ah, but you're forgetting, there's a population of 200 TNR cats at Disneyland! Oh wait, I'm not sure if DisneyWorld has cats too. In California, cats have been there longer than Sleeping Beauty's Castle.
There's a Clickhole video about it
Kids who go to those places end up clinically depressed later in life.
Because they understand the exploitation involved in a giant corporation controlling all aspects of life for profit and the shallowness of detached and alienated entertainment?

God damn Lemmy is full of sad sacks.
For real, it's the doomeriest.
I went to Disneyland as a kid, don't take my word for it 😉
Just that these are corporate entities that care nothing for the world they are a part of and are just trying to leech off society.
You know corporations are what people make them, right?
These places have their goods and bads.
Disney in the past weren't nearly so exploitive and expensive. They truly did give an extremely fun and entertaining experience to the guests. They did much better at treating their employees. They have pushed technological boundaries on the entertainment front. They built parks that have genuinely made millions happy. They aren't perfect as a corporation and I have a shitload of gripes with their management and leadership, but they put out a pretty damn good product.
Nowadays, they do underpay and over charge. They are cashing in on nostalgia and not doing enough to foster that in the next generation. They're no longer targeting family fun but are instead putting more towards the mid-20s to late 30s market. I haven't felt it was worth the money in a long time.
Sea world. While they have done terrible things especially in the Orcas, they also put on a very, very entertaining theme park. They do fund a lot of research and coastal animal refuges.
