WDW stirs up so many good emotions and feelings inside for me. I love going with my family, having fun, enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells. The atmosphere is consistent with my idea of the perfect place. There are stories of good vs evil with good fundamental lessons to be learned in each. I know that there is no such thing as the perfect place and that there is not always a happy ending, but the escape to WDW makes dealing with the real world a little easier.
And of course WDW represents "one man's dream" and encourages us all to dream and then pursue it. Sometimes dreams do come true.
