Disney World: Utopian Decontextualism or Magic Kingdom?
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 04.24.02 | 7:51 PM ET
Richard Todd and his wife recently visited Florida’s Disney World for the first time, and they found certain advantages to seeing the Magic Kingdom through virgin adult eyes. “You may come here just to notch your traveler’s belt. But this is not the Lincoln Memorial or the Louvre,” Todd writes in the Atlantic Monthly’s May issue. “Monuments and museums yield their meanings readily, but Disney World is complicated. You tend to Have Thoughts. Your inner voice begins to sound like one of those hectoring French critics who can find the soul of America in a Happy Meal.”
