I agree, with clarifications. I really can't recall anywhere in WDW where you can look out and see "reality". DL hides the fact pretty well that it is inside of a major metro area with the berm, DLRR and trees. DCA not so much, especially on California Screamin.
Regardless, at WDW when I am going up the EE ride and look all around, I see Disney stuff. Hotels, rides and lots of trees. That is part of the WDW bubble and I think it is real. However, the price you pay to stay in the bubble is lots of buses and boats and time lags to get places. Many WDW vets do not feel that price you pay because they are so accustomed to it. DLR vets feel it more intensely because they are used to walking to the parks and know what that is like.
