A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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. (self.showerthoughts)

huh, i guess I hadn't heard anyone's actual experience from it. I've never been myself. it's only interesting enough for me to want to know that it exists. there is no world in which I would actually pay what it costs to go to Disney world. it's just not my thing. I'd rather find some elk to watch frolic or some shit. that sounds when more magical. still neat to see that it's kind of real now.

but yeah, my biases make it easy to believe that it's all cheaper and shittier than they lead on. that sounds like what a company like Disney would do. make something that looks flashy and makes a good headline, but disappoints when in person.

thank you for sharing your experiences.

Oh I’ve not been on the Starcruiser. It was like, $6k for two nights. Screw that.

I’ve been to Disney World though. The Star Wars area (in Hollywood Studios) is really cool. And Animal Kingdom is fantastic. The whole place is fun, but not everyone’s cup of tea certainly.

It’s way better than Disneyland, IMO. Which is underwhelming in comparison. Although the Star Wars areas are essentially identical, which is nice.
