After reading everyone's post, I am glad to know that everyone else is as big of a "disney world dork" as I am. I LOVE going to disney world and getting caught up in the childlike attractions, bright colors, and the excitement that surrounds you. This weeks reading was interesting because it made me think of "places" and the meaning of places differently. After reading this, I looked at Disney World, and some other "themed" park places that I had visited and realized that they are in fact modeled to make me feel as though I am part of an adventure. When I am at the theme park, I feel as though I am in another world, just having fun enjoying the rides, and walking through the stores.
But as I though about this, I also thought about what it would be like if the park was closed. It would not be the same without the bright lights, loud sounds, vibrant characters, and crowds of people. The park is actually meant to create a world for you to get lost in, but as soon as closing time comes around, the "world" you are in ends, and you have to wait for the gates to reopen the next morning to start again. It is funny how my attention is attracted by the sights in the park and how that is what draws me in to want to buy and participate in everything.
