You are right, I have never been to Disneyland, but I've been to Disney World a bunch of times. The hedges are neatly trimmed, but the fancy stuff is fake.

Then you must come to the original--and best. Their topiary is not fake!

I've seen knock-off Disneyland in Beijing, and also real Disneyland in Hong Kong.

Knock-off? What do they call themselves? Is it fun?

and also real Disneyland in Hong Kong.

Forgive me, but as a SoCal native who grew up going to Disneyland, watching Walt Disney on TV every week, knowing he had an apartment overlooking Main Street, and whose mother's best friend worked at Disney studios her entire career, there's only one real Disneyland. Everything else is an imitation.

When I lived in Florida (my husband's home state), I didn't even care to go to Walt Disney World. That usually shocks people, knowing that I'm a Disneyphile and lived in Florida for a time, but DIDN'T go to WDW!

You've never been to Disneyland?

I am proud to say, NO! I have never been to that hellhole of plastic fakery and false expectations.

Oh, if only more people--many, MANY more people--shared that misguided opinion! That would make it so much nicer (uncrowded) for the rest of us.

One thing I have learned* in almost a year of marriage: There’s a fine line between not getting in trouble for staying quiet and saying the wrong thing or the wrong way.

Hang in there, buddy. You'll get the hang of it...eventually...

Plastic hedges? Luxury!! At Eurodisney, we make do with a couple of twigs and a mouldy leaf!

Although if you're from Poland you have 20 fingers. Not taking the piss here they literally have no word for toes so they call them fingers as well. I work for a refrigeration company and a fridge fell and landed on a Polish guys foot. Once we got it off him he said that he couldn't feel his fingers. Not the time to be laughing but it was ****ing funny. Luckily he was alright or I might've felt bad

Why does everybody going for surgery remember the ceiling lights more the the anesthesiology prep?

Because modern methods of anesthesia use chemicals that directly affect the memory.

One wonders what happened to the "full butt".
