The Happiest Place on Earth - Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Or is it actually Disneyland in Anaheim, California? Both parks have similar attractions and philosophies, but the size and amenities of the two locations create a clear preference of visitors for one park over the other.

The ‘shopping montage’ is a well-worn trope in film and television, and so many recent examples of the montage deliberately call attention to it and subvert its conventions for comedy. This is clear in the Parks and Recreation episode “Pawnee Rangers,” in which the characters of Tom and Donna go to the mall to try on clothes in an annual ritual they call “Treat Yo Self.” During this montage, Donna and Tom alternatingly appear in incredibly gaudy clothing and explain their desire to have that outfit, to which the other dramatically declares, “treat yo self!” In context, the characters ...
