ooh! I have never been to Disney Land (or any other Disney type place) but I think it would be pretty cool to go :-D

Oh, you should! I can really recommend the one in Southern California-- the original and still a classic. Plus, the Florida one doesn't seem to have the French Quarter, and that's my favorite area for atmosphere after Fantasyland.

It's a completely different kind of experience, but it's not just for kids!

Nicely done!

Its a lovely story and a nice tribute to impoetry.

Thank you! I hope impoetry finds good things at Disney, and that they find the good in him and nurture it well. :)

I was honestly expecting something gruesome to change the mood of the story. That`s the reason I kept reading >.< But by the end I was happy that nothing of the sort happened, and things are working out for Bob. It`s so ordinary and everyday that it left me with a pleasant feeling.

Hahahaha! And I don't blame you for it, not a bit.

He got a glimpse of the real "magic" behind Disney for a bit, and then went back to not seeing it. But it was good magic anyway, and it seems to have helped him as much as it regularly does the park's visitors. :)

I really loved this. I've never been to any of the Disney places, but I hope to one day.

Thank you!

I hope you'll get a chance to go, and to take the kids. It really is like entering a different world-- not just because of the fantastic creation of otherworldliness, but also because people are nicer and better-behaved when they're there (at least, by American standards), and that's practically a miracle all by itself. It's as if everyone is an example for their own children or someone else's, and they moderate their more selfish and self-centered tendencies.

Add a giant Mickey or a random, darting Peter Pan to that, and it really IS magic. :)
