I want to use Disney World in my interactive fiction. I've been there
hundreds of times, know it very well, and think it would work a lot better
than a Generic Theme Park. However, it would feature a prominent role, and I
don't think I'm allowed to do that, am I? Use a known place, I mean. If it
were satire, would that make it okay? I hadn't planned to make fun of the
place at all, but I could, if that meant I could use it ;)

I realize it doesn't really matter, since I won't be selling this game, but
like most of us, I have grand visions of the story someday catching on and
making me tremendously rich. (Not really, but I still want it to be...
legal. Or something.)
