Probably because you realized that "stick with one
ride until the end" was part of a dogma that was
carefully *taught* to you, and you rejected dogma,
not the ride.  As a result, you're still on the
ride (although a different ride), while others are
merely out walking the dogma, in circles.  :-)

----Nah, I probably didn't think of it because:
(a) I don't go to Disneyland to get enlightened,
(b) There's too many spies at Disneyland to be able to do anything truely fun,
(c) I never much liked Disney as a kid so don't find it appealing as an adult,
(d) I once was not let into Disneyland because I was a punk rocker,
(e) Once on a ride I finish it because getting off midway just is not a consideration,
(f) I prefer Six Flags,
(g) Enlightenment is not a ride that you can get on and off of,
(h) Enlightenment is for those who have left childish toys behind,
(i) I'd rather ride my fallen guru,
(j) Disneyland specifically is for children,
(k) There's a lack of any real thrillers,
(l) I prefer drugs,
(m)I prefer sex,
(n)I prefer rock n roll,
(o) I could complete this silly excercise mid way, but I'm getting off the ride.
 
Which reminds me of smoking a joint on Mr. Toad with a friend named Tara as a kid. Halfway through a security guy stepped out from behind an effigy and told us to put it out because the figures were all made of paper.  He was cool.  Another time, we smoked a joint on the sky tram going to some ride.  I've been to Disneyland probably about 30 times in my life. Disney World I had always heard had twice the shit, but actually it doesn't, it merely has two exact achiral rides for each one of Disneylands, so as to cram more people in.  (Not considering Epcot). 
 
Disney recently started making films that are Pg, to try to grab more of the market. Their original mandate has changed from kids entertainment to young adult. This shows that kids in general are growing up. And it also shows that at heart Disney is about making money.  Once the original Disney passed, (RIP WD), it merely became a corporation just like any other devoid of a through-line of originality based on vision.
 
Bob, do you take refuge in the Disney, the Rides, and the E Ticketholders?
