Disneyland is like viagra in that they both make you wait an hour for a 2-minute ride.
Disneyland is presented as imaginary in order to make us believe that the rest is real.
Disneyland is not just an alienated idealization of American life. Rather, it exists in order to hide that it is 'real' America that is disneyland.
Disneyland is presented as imaginary in order to make us believe that the rest is real, whereas all of los angeles and the America that surrounds it are no longer real, but belong to the hyperreal order and to the order of simulation. It is no longer a question of a false representation of reality (ideology) but of concealing the fact that the real is no longer real, and thus of saving the reality principle.
Disneyland is the Happiest Place on Earth while also being too expensive now for the poor families who need happiness the most.
