they are just incredibly good at what they do
This. I recommend -World, actually, because you have 4 parks to choose from now (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios) plus Downtown Disney (which replaced Pleasure Island, the grown-up, after-dark Disney destination, with booze). There's more to do and see, and if you're going that far, you probably want to go to the place with the most to offer and stay for a few more days.
Disclaimer: I have never been to -Land, this is just what I have heard from people who have been to both. But their information may be out of date.
What really made it fun for me, besides having kids and enjoying their enjoyment, was that I got one of the guidebooks that tells you "behind the scenes" stuff and trivia about each park -- stuff like what the names on the shops above Main Street refer to, and what the house numbers around Liberty Square mean. It even talked about the little details in the individual rides -- the tombstones in the Haunted Mansion, for instance -- and it is absolutely amazing how nothing about the park is there by accident.
Everything you see, if you think it has some kind of secret meaning, it probably does. I spent the whole week with my eyes open as wide as possible, trying to notice as many of the "secrets" as possible. It does inspire a sense of childlike wonder and curiosity in that way, which is a rare thing in modern life.
Anyway, back on topic: Pedro has never lived alone either. I really liked living alone, but one of my roommates wasn't too bad because she was a design student, so I was in class all day and she was in the studio all night. I only had to see her on weekends, and we were friends so we hung out and had fun.
I live three hours from a ski resort but I've never been snow skiing. I was going to say I've never killed anything but then I remember that I hit a deer with my car about ten years ago and it definitely did not make it out alive. (Neither did the car.)
I have never had so much to drink that I lost the ability to remember what happened the night before, or passed out.
