Once you set foot on any Disney property, the sounds and colors will haunt your life for the rest of your days.

This week, we're talking about tourism. Specifically:

  • When’s the first time you remember hearing of the idea of traveling for fun, or to go see a thing/event?
  • When was your first “touristy” trip?
  • When you travel, is it for tourism, or is it task-oriented? (“I’m going to New York to see the Empire State Building” vs. “I’m going to New York for a work thing.”)
  • What’s the most touristy thing you’ve ever done?
  • What touristy thing do you hate?
  • What touristy thing do you want to do?
  • What’s something that you’ve gone somewhere to see, but very few people would even bother to seek out?
  • Do you wish you could travel for leisure more?
  • Have you ever worked in the tourism industry?
  • Have you ever had to deal with tourists?
  • What’s the future of tourism?
