disney world

We made an escape to Disney World this weekend with Corrie's folks.

I expected to be shocked by the American-ness of the laboratory-controlled environment. But the most American thing about the place was the urgency with which visitors consume it. I mean, you pay $100 for a day pass so you'd better get your money's worth. Everybody's running from ride to ride, jumping strollers and tossing little kids out of the way.

Didn't have much time to notice, though -- I was too busy dodging those crazy Americans to get on the rides in front of them. A very successful day.
