I'd prefer Dick's house myself, and I don't even know Dick.

Every normalish person should have a kid or two, it really is the most wonderful thing.

Well, the kid on the left is small enough to not know what is going on and cry just for no reason, the one in the middle is still small enough to be irrational and prefer Dick's House, but it's the almost-a-teenager who is the ungrateful shit.

Maybe they just wanted to spend some time with their family and not go to the crowed shit hole of Disney.

They're obviously pretty tired.
But still, Best Friend Parents usually pay for it by having ungrateful children. Children with mohawks.

Why in god's name would an almost-teenager want to go to fucking disneyworld?

Yeah, he looks like he's at that age where he feels he has to make a conscious effort not to enjoy anything.

I stand by my assessment.

I hope y'all realize it's a girl, and probably older than you think.

Also: Smoking Area.

Also I hated going to Disney. I don't blame these kids.

This was my assumption as well. But she doesn't let them call him "Dad".

Seriously, I think it says more about the parents that they're so out-of-touch/full of themselves that they think that by spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars on a vacation without spending 5 seconds seeing if its something their kids actually even like or care about in the first place their kids have to like it.

What kind of asshole tries to surprise people they love with something nice.

WHO DOES THAT.

But they're not surprising them with something nice.

They're surprising them with Disney World.

Or Land.

Like it fucking matters.

I surprised you with something I had no idea if you wanted so you better like it!

That's how surprises work, Mike. You can either ask someone if they'd like something, or you can surprise them with it. You can't do both because people have memories.

This lady's mistake was that she went about it in a profoundly stupid and obviously rehearsed way, basically trying way too hard to recreate a commercial.

Now if the parents had the good sense to take the kids to Bon-Bon land in Denmark; that would be an awesome gift and remembered well into senility. But, Disneyland? And let me guess, afterwords we'll all have dinner at McDonalds. Sheesh.

You surprise people with parties for their birthday. You don't surprise someone with a thousands of dollars investment unless you are absolutely certain it's something they need/badly want and have talked about forever. There's no way--NO WAY--Hoodie McDougal wants to hang out with costume Disney princesses for a week.

No you bumbler. If you surprised me with Taco Bell tonight I'd be excited because I got to eat and I enjoy eating at least once a day if possible. If you surprised me with a kick in the balls I would not be as happy.

Re: hanging out with princesses: after their shift they hang out at Pleasure Island, where beer is sold in buckets (don't forget, it's still Florida). And you can call them princess without getting slapped.

They got the kids all psyched to go to Dig House, then they cruelly yanked it away.

Yes, I'm certain it worked out just like it does in the Sunday funnies, Grandpa.

Yup. Sort of funny that everyone's having a "who's more jaded" contest while expressing surprise that this didn't go like it does in the commercials. They'll still end up enjoying it. (FANTASMIC IS AWESOME)

The employees at the park wondered why there were dotted lines crawling around everywhere on the pavement.

I was seven when we went, and the part I remember best was the guitar pool. That and I cried after Aliens Encounter.

I got to go a few years back with someone who was an employee of Disney. Everything was half price, and because he'd interned at the park, his old friends put us on rides via back doors. In 4 days we got to see and do almost everything in the park, and every night it was drinking and dancing until 3 or 4 in the morning.

They closed the clubs now, which is a shame. Then again, a male friend of ours did get roofied, but he was sort of asking for it.

It's a fake town full of people who are there with the sole purpose of having a good time. It's crass and commercial, and Disney the company sucks, but god damn it a vacation is a vacation.

Because THE ESTABLISHMENT IS PLASTIC, MAN!!!
