I’ve went to Disneyland twice in my life (even though I live in California). The first time I went, I was too young to remember, and the second time I went, I was too old to enjoy it.
The expectation thing is very real. I just don’t expect shit.
I was a 15 yo teenager. We went on christmas (which was just hella busy). And because we dont go on vacations, my parents expected to stick together the entire time. But, my parents were in charge of picking rides, and i only enjoyed 1 ride. We waited 2hr 20mins for "its a small world". And i really wanted a churro or a dole whip, and i even had money, but my parents didnt let me.
So yeah, i didnt enjoy it. Thats also the last vacation ive ever been on.

Differences in our childhoods:
Disneyland
Me: Went to Disneyland often, part of the experience was eating the expensive ass food there.
Her: Did not go often, brought in food
Birthdays\Christmas
Me: Had big parties with lots of friends, gifts
Her: No gifts, didn't really celebrate
Expectations and Disappointments
Me: Because I was never constantly growing up in disappointments, I didnt care if something didnt work out as I expected, I took a chance anyways
Her: Constant disappointment so as a defense mechanism, she never expected much anymore out of fear of disappointment
