There are plenty of people that tell themselves that they go to Disneyland for their children’s sake...Even if they’ll never admit it in the company of others, they’re there for their own fantasy-come-true. Dad takes Junior on Space Mountain and for just a minute, in the dark where no one can see, Dad lets himself see that these really are stars all around him. He really is rocketing through space itself. Mom looks at the Storybook houses and just for a moment ponders the little people that live inside. And then there’s that moment during the fireworks when Mom and Dad lean against each other with contented smiles.

It’s escapism. It’s clean and kind and there are magical things happening everywhere you look. Good triumphs and evil is delegated to its proper place. Did you ever dream of a real castle, of talking animals, of picturesque mountains, of serene waterways, of a pixie that flies around and sprinkles fairy dust with a tap of her wand? Disneyland is everything you’ve ever wanted – and each new innovation is another piece of the magical puzzle falling into place.

The more we believe in it, the more real it is.[/i][/b]

You must spread some Mojo around before giving it to Cadaverous Pallor again.
