Soon my sister's kids will be old enough to visit the parks, so
we'll probably return, but chances are that we'll go to Disney
Land instead, I hear that the Universal park on that coast is
nicer.

Why do you think food services at Disneyland in Anaheim are going to
be any different to what you would find at Disney World in Florida?

You snipped the question I answered, so there's a bit of confusion here.
Andreas asked why I came back to America if I've had such bad experiences
with the food, and the answer was that I go there for business and because
I have kids that enjoy the Disney (and Universal) parks. As do I, I might
add!

So I have no reason to expect the food in the LA area to be any better than
in the Orlando area, but I'm not choosing LA over Orlando based on food -
but based on what I said above; I've head the Universal park is bigger (and
better) there. Also, I've been to Disney World three times now, and never
to Disney Land, and that's a good enough reason as well.

The tourist traps of the L.A. basin are no more appealing than the
tourist traps of Florida.

I can imagine.

Anaheim is a wasteland connected to L.A. by the freeway system.

Much like Disney World is built in the swamp area west of Orlando, right?


All concrete and parking lot. DisneyLand is an aging (60 year old) theme
park where the shine has been worn off years ago. As for Universal, that
is a totally different level of commercialism. There are other theme
parks in the area which specialize in thrill rides such as Six Flags
Magic Mountain, but I wouldn't think that would be suitable for very
young kids. https://www.sixflags.com/magicmountain

The son and daughter is 11 and 13 this year, but will be considerably older
when my sister's kids are big enough. It may be unfitting for them though.

Personally I do whatever I can to avoid the L.A. area and I only
travel down there rarely these days to visit a niece in Huntington
Beach, and my one movie star friend. When I visit I try to take in
places which interest me and go beyond the artificiality of Disney.

We love theme parks. We have Liseberg here in Sweden, which is actually
larger than Magic Kingdom (which I actually find strange, it feels
smaller), but don't have as much rides/activites.

Disney World is amazing, and I really like the Universal park which we
visited for the first time last year. The Transformers ride was awesoe.

snip list of suggestions

Thanks, not sure if there would ever be a time to look into any of that if
we went there, but I appreciate it.
