It's a Mickey world after all?

Why would the adults of 20 years from now be looking for thrills? Are they somehow going to be even less adult than the adults of today? Will lifespans reaching prod people to stay adolescent through their 50's?

I hate to say this .... because it makes Disneyland seem like a museum. But perhaps more than any attraction, the unique stylings of Mary Blair make a trip thru small world enjoyable for the exploration of art, not thrills. There's also the exploration of joy and the exploration of the world in a fun way. These are adult pursuits, and I don't see them changing in 20 years even if the dolls remain real and not holograms.

In fact, the more things go to holograms and 3-D movie screens, the more the wonder of elaborate physically created environments becomes fantastical in the extreme.
