Just remember this little tidbit from (the late great) Jean Baudrillard--it's not that we think Disney is "the real thing." Come on! We're smarter than that.
It's that we know Disney is not the real thing, we know it's fake. Because we know it's fake, we (foolishly) believe that the rest of the world going on outside of it is real. Its status as fantasy serves to anchor that other fantasy: the real world.

Ditto profunditorium ad in/finitus andronicus. WTF did I just say! Trying again...Lemme hear an amen!
