That Darned Mouse


AARP Bulletin had an interesting feature that listed the most popular tourist attractions in each state based on the annual number of visitors. Disneyland won out in California with 14,721,000 visitors. Other eight digit attractions areDisney World in Florida, Boston's Faneuil Hall, Minnesota's Mall of America (the winner with 40 million), the Las Vegas Strip, Times Square, Myrtle Beach, Seattle's Pike Place Market. The only one I have questions about is North Carolina's Blue Ridge Parkway with 10,943,831 visitors compared to Virginia's Blue Ridge Parkway with 5,365,474 visitors. More than twice as popular? I don't think so.
