Dr. Beckett compares going to Disney World with attending The National sports card show, drawing on trips to Disneyland and Disney World from the 1960s to the 1990s and his long history of attending The National, including taking his family in 1990. With an extended-family Disney World trip planned for early next year, he discusses shared challenges like long days on your feet, routing, and dislike of lines, and contrasts how Disney is typically more expensive while The National involves spending on items with tradeable value. He notes differences in solitude, age-appropriate activities, and family logistics, and suggests The National could learn from Disney’s crowd flow, cleanliness, signage, and food options. He concludes neither is “better,” emphasizing being fully present wherever you are and encouraging people to attend both if possible.
