Jim Gaffigan gives his side-splitting take on visiting Disney as an adult, and he makes it sound more miserable than magical!
The Disney experience in Orlando consists of four parks: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disneys Animal Kingdom, and Disneys Hollywood Studios. Magic Kingdom is said to be The Most Magical Place on Earth. For kids and kids at heart, a pilgrimage to one or more of the Disney parks is a dream come truean enviable vacation, for sure!
Jim Gaffigan, however, doesnt see it that way. In his down-on-Disney comedy routine, Mr. Gaffigan compares a day at Disney to one spent at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Clearly, he knows that every licensed driver in the United States will relate to the analogy. Long lines, wasted time, too much closeness, and grumpy moods come with both.
The comedian continues by describing the heat of a July day in Orlando, saying that its like standing on the sun's surface!
He recalls being a kid and wondering why his dad was always in a bad mood while on vacation. With raised brows and a knowing look, he now understands. He jokes that Disney is just the place for fathers wishing to spend an insane amount of money, desiring to be incredibly uncomfortable, and hoping to hear their youngins whine and complain!
Known for his jokes about laziness, fatherhood, religion, and food, he goes on to say that Disney may be the only place where visitors can walk for 12 hours, sweating incessantly, and still gain weight. The fries get the guests every time!
Born in Elgin, Illinois, the 57-year-old clean comic has five children, and hes probably made a few trips to Disney. Nominated for seven Grammy Awards, Mr. Gaffigan makes hilarious observations on daily life. And he is right. Disney is not a relaxing vacation for us moms and dads, but were betting that, like parents everywhere, hes felt blessed to be able to make the trip.
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; Psalm 103:13
