Here is my disconnect - if this really was a show, there would be a director whose vision would presumably be played out by the cast. Is the directors vision an attempt to recreate an authentic environemnt? Is this an ideal representation? a fantasy? if so is it a sexual fantasy as well?

What characters are the "cast members" really playing? What is their background, their motivation? or are they not characters at all but rather stage decoration?

If Disneyland is a show - then really go out there and make it one, the half-assed version doesn't do it for me. It's a nice metaphore and all, but I don't buy it.
