Wow, four theme parks and two water parks in two hours? You must have all had your jet packs on!

Anyway, I can smell the condescension of all-things-Disney from here; I am very familiar with it because my in-laws exude it too. I am also not at all surprised that your child did not enjoy the trip, given the negative vibes you must have been giving off during the visit.
And just as an FYI...WDW has a zoo...and a wildlife preserve...and an aquarium.
