    When I was young, I wanted to go to Disney World because most other kids I knew went there. Now, I’m 28 and no longer interested. Maybe I will be one day, but not now. Disney as a company has gotten too big and the “magic” isn’t really magical if 35% of entertainment media is a Disney property. Not to mention the state of Florida is run by a tyrant, and then Disney Land in California is just in one of the most congested states in the nation. Haven’t visited a theme park in years but the best ones are Story Land (lots of toddler stuff there, but still fun) and Canobie Lake Park. Maybe Knotts Berry Farm or Busch Gardens are some better theme parks in the southeast.

      Canobie Lake Park

      Dang, so weird seeing a local shoutout here. Canobie and Story Land were part of my childhood.

      Beat theme park in the country is holiday world in Santa Claus Indiana!

      Free soft drinks, free sunscreen, free parking, not crazy congested, lots of cool rides and a great water park attached that is included in the ticket price. Plus good food, nothing beats getting a pizza for the fam and then riding one of the wooden coasters
