That is the sweetest story, thanks for sharing

The trend of garbage guys being mini superheros for kids always cracks me up

"Mom! Look! Its the guy who pilots the dragon truck!" Yall might as well be a power ranger, driving down your street once a week

Also, to show how much we rely on them, look at those garbage collector strikes in France.

Yeah, it would be like that without them, but much worse long term.

Not to mention they helped save all of humanity while dealing with the crack fox

Everything is amazing and nobody is happy!

I definitely remember those trips and cherish them. I didn't get to go until I was a bit older and those first few times were absolutely incredible. That's an incredibly cynical take tbh. Some people just want to share the things they loved with their kids. Reducing it down to "they just want to brag" just sounds very bitter.

I still remember stuff from my visit 30 years later so I guess I enjoyed it as a kid

Cringy cynic take.

And for the kids it's usually an awful experience too. I don't know many if any kids who had positive experience with Disney

This place is way more fun than you might think.

Nah, kids are just into that shit.

I got my driveway paved a while ago, and there's a preschool across the street. They basically had to cancel everything on their schedule that day because nothing could keep the kids away from the window.

As an adult man, I can say that whenever i have the chance, i watch the garbage truck pick up dumpsters, empty bins, operate the hydraulics etc.

Suppose you're going to disney for a week as a family of 4.

6 days of tickets for 4 people is $2,400. Cheap jetblue tickets on sale might be $1000; honestly, they're probably more. If you're staying at a $350/night hotel room, you're already up to $5,500.

Then, figure at least $50 in food per person per day, or $100 for the adults if you get alcohol. That's another $1,200-1,800. And if you go to any of their fancier restaurants it'll be a lot more. Add in a couple hundred in souvenirs and you're there.

Of course, if you're within road trip distance and just go to the park for two days, you could do it way cheaper.

Most people don't live close enough to Disney for a day trip. A significant portion of that 8k is probably the other costs of the trip like airfare and hotel rooms.

That's like a couple parents and a few kids. I don't get the appeal of spending thousands of dollars just to wait in line and be surrounded by a bunch of annoying people.

The hotel can run you 300-1000 a night, depending on which one you choose.
