So, last night out of the clear blue, someone I know basically "Disney Shamed" me. Like, it was that "(As a single adult with no kids) Why go to Disney when you can go so many other places?" conversation. I basically told him, "You know, I like it. If it's not for you, that's fine."
I must say I was annoyed by it. This is someone I'm good friends with, so I know he didn't really mean any harm, but why can't people just respect the fact that we all have different tastes in things?
Has anyone ever encountered this? How did you deal with it?
Grrr, that kind of thing makes me so mad, and frustrated. I, too, had a good friend who would tell me, "You've been there and done that. Try somewhere else next. We always go to Paris and it's wonderful. You should try it." Don't they realize that they just said they go to Paris many times and love it, but because I go to wDW as an adult, then that's not "right".
It is a frustration and I just think some people will never "get it", so I just avoid telling certain friends about our trips to WDW. Maybe I'm a chicken, but it saves all the same old tired remarks. It's also kind of sad that they never get to experience this wonderful place because of preheld prejudices.
So, yea, I know what you are gong through.
