Everyone in Waltham Goes to Disney World


like, every year. I don't get it.

My almost 10 year old has been begging to go for a few years now, so I visit here every day because I really don't feel like spending a couple grand to go.

I went when I was 12 and it left no impression on me, or my brother....or my parents (I just asked them), except that it was really clean. Scary clean. Maybe it's so popular with Waltham-ites b/c it's the antithesis of Waltham in the winter.

Though I think we secretly embrace the opportunity to settle in for the cold season, Waltham folks also love to complain about the weather and the crustiness that results from sand and salt trucks that lasts well into July. What else is funny is that snow shovels and window scrapers outside the front door or in the front seat of the car are usually not removed in the summer. My own included. It's like we're just waiting for that summer blizzard.

I guess this is some of what makes Disney appealing to the locals....but I prefer the crust.
