Disney images

It's hard to justify taking the cheap shots at Disneyland, because Disneyland doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is. There's no irony, no wink, the only place the facade breaks down is in "Innoventions", but elsewhere this is "the happiest place on earth", and the space believes that with every fiber.

But I thought the "waste, please" request outside of at least some of these shrines to consumption deserved a little notice.

And the fact that there can be big banners proclaiming "We Love Pooh" strung across a store is testament to just how unlike, say, San Francisco this space is.
