Well not all of them, but enough to make me feel good. I'm talking about The 50 Best Tourist Spots in the World. A lot of them I only got to in the last 4 years but that would be why I am laterbloomer  |

I've been to 23.
I could have another 10-15 just by going to Hong Kong and California! Geez! |

There was way too much Disney on that list!
I just had 4. Three were in NY and the Smokey Mountains.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

I have 7. I don't think my 15 minutes at Disneyland Park to shop counts.

 I have been to 12 of them. There were a few on that list I don't have much desire to go to ever... If I travel all the way to Japan I will NOT be going to Disney!

I've knocked 32 off the list. There were only a few in the US that I haven't been to, and as I've not been to Asia, all of those.

23 and nearly all of them in the U.S. I've never been overseas - guess it's time to start traveling there!

It is interesting how they decided what was a spot. The #1 most visited spot was an entire city (the strip) but NYC was broken up into individual museums and parks. Seems a little arbitrary.

20/50, but it was a poorly diversified set IMO. If you haven't been to NY for example (and I haven't) you lose quite a few. Similarly any Disney-haters are not going to score all that great. Good thing I actually like Disney  |

I got 6... half of the list is comprised of places i hope to never ever go. I also tend to like things off the beaten path and not covered in tourists.

The only reason why I was able to knock so many off the list was because I have hit all of the Disney attractions in both Orlando and LA. However, if I ever get to Japan, going to Disney there is not on my bucket list. Nor is the one near Paris if I ever get over there again.

I don't think so. The Strip is commonly identified as one destination. I don't think it is even the size of Central Park and definately not as big as any of the Disney's. I found it funny that the Disney Parks were split out into the separate parks. |

Probably because unless you have some sort of park hopper pass, you need to pay to get into each one.

24 for me.
Luckily I've done Paris plus most of the US ones.

They're the most visited spots, so I would guess that each Disney park is separated because they can count the number of people that go into each separate park each day.

I haven't seen a single one on this list. But, I have been to some terrific places in the U.S.
I don't feel sorry for myself. My BIL & his wife have done a lot of traveling, but have almost nothing saved for retirement. |

that is as impressive. Almost as impressive if you had been to all of them. You like to take a path less traveled. That is to be commmended. |

Equating Disney with the British Museum and the Great Wall in China is ridiculous.

17. It's weird though - I've lived in Korea but it doesn't count because I haven't visited the amusement parks there. How could you have lived in Korea, and not have gone to Lotte World?  They have a great diaorama (??) museum that is free. |

I am embarrassed to say I only got 4 and Disney made up 3 of them. I agree way too much Disney on that list.

I don't think it existed 28 years ago.  Yes, I think that you're right. lol So I'm guessing that '81 is not your birth year. |

33. I've been to all the countries and cities listed, but I've not been to Disney's contributions.
