Disney World
It is mind amazing to think that Disney world was once 24 thousand acres of orange groves and swamps (pg. 271). According to Hiaasen it is now "the world's largest and most artificial entertainment complex." Yes, Disney World is made up of make believe but I think it is important for people to go there to escape from their everyday lives. I get a kick of just watching the children eyes light up when they get to meet their favorite Disney character for the first time. We took my step daughter two years ago to Disney and Animal Kingdom and it was so much fun!!! I felt like a child all over again and wished I could be a kid again to appreciate it even more.

I think that's why Disney World is so popular! It is such a magical place for so many children. It's a place where they get to live out their dreams. What child wouldn't want to meet Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck? They are characters who are introduced at a young age, and often become a very big part of childhood memories. It's understanding why parents would want to give their children the opportunity to visit Disney World. Keeping with the ideas of fantasy and make-believe, it's probably one of the most magical places a child can visit.
