I find Disney a pretty hard place to get good photos, since most of the subjects are way too boring.

Boring? Friends of ours went to Disney World, spent three days, and came back saying it was boring and three days were too many. My wife and I went a year later, spend 8 days, and came back thinking we had not been able to absorb it all, pining for another visit.

I think boring comes from boring people and not boring locales or subjects.

In my first marriage, my wife was the foreign military liaison officer, and part of her job was to take foreign officers to Disney. So, for a couple of years, I went a lot.

I think you either love Disney, or you don't. There aren't many in between. Fortunately for the company, it seems quite a lot of people love it. I can take it in very small doses.

It's not that Disney is "boring," so much as that it is just utterly relentless. At some level, I appreciate and admire what they've achieved. But it's not for me. I have friends who have year-long passes and go many times a year. My wife has a cousin whose husband works for Disney and caters to well-heeled fans who own homes and live on a Disney property. I don't profess to understand the attraction, and the affection, but I acknowledge that it is real.

All that said, there are photo opportunities you'll find no place else, if that's the subject that interests you.
