i can feel the judging in this post omg.
and i'm sorry my expectations for park standards are lower than yours, but to be blunt just because you say so and you provide evidence i already know of doesn't make your point any more valid. and i've been to a Fair before, of course i have why would i be comparing Disneyland to it if i didn't at some point in my life. what i meant by the comparison was that it just felt dirtier to me and it had an atmosphere that just screamed FAIR. and i'm not going to skip around it, the castle was downright puny and made the park look and feel smaller just by the look of it. i didn't understand how much a mascot amounted to a park's feel until that moment. idk, i had a fun time but the park overall just felt like crass. and i mentioned posts ago that i admired the Pirates ride, it's one of the things in the park i enjoyed and thought had much more quality than its counterpart.
