I think they could totally re-invent Dreamfinder into a more modern-friendly character. The design of Dreamfinder was very 80's ... but that's not to say we can't have a "wizard" type character in a new version. Spruce up Dreamfinder--trim his beard, maybe take off a few pounds, update his...

Yeah, I'm not sure how Canada's costume is any more stereotype than the other countries. None of the costumes in WS represent 98% of the current wardrobe style of their respective cultures. Each costume is distinctively identifiable as belonging to their respective country. And then you get...

I can confirm that they at least enforce this rule on New Year's Eve. NYE 2010 was apparently when they started to enforce it, and my friends and I were turned away from entering the beach by a CM. She said only resort guests were being given access to the "special events" on the beach--which...

Besides, don't most--if not all--of the other pavilions feature CM costumes that are considered "old traditional" attire? Do most people in Germany still wear lederhosen? Do most modern Japanese wear kimono every day? I don't buy the effort of "modernizing" the pavilion's CM costumes when it...

I'm sure it's all a part of Environmentality--recycle old parades! Make them seem like they're new!

It seems to me, and this is my own opinion, that there are two types of Disney enthusiasts. Those who go to the park often and enjoy everything it is supposed to be, regardless if it is actually there or not. It is not to say they are repressing anything or choosing to be blind, they simply do...

Something this awesome will likely go to China, I'm sure.

I would have much rather they come out with an entirely new parade. However, if they manage to put together a completely new day parade ... I'll let Spectro slide. Ironically, even though I was a kid for most of Spectro's run, it's MSEP that gives me the fondest memories. I always considered...

As much as I'm excited and hopeful for some actual work on the descent, at the same time, it doesn't make sense to me for them to actually add any scenes because the guest is looking at the computer screen the whole time. Why invest in surrounding scenes? Maybe it's possible they're just...

I'm also on the Disboards, and holy cow, if you say anything negative about something, you're flamed. Or at least given lectures about why your issue is YOUR problem, and not Disney's. But yeah ... I'm a born and raised WDW resident (not just vet) and even I have to admit that DLR was...

Unfortunately, I think the only voice Disney listens to is the Almighty Dollar. With the sheer numbers, both domestic and international that WDW pulls in that are not die-hard fans (or even repeat visitors), what motivation do they have to fix and plus everything when the current status-quo...

But there is the risk factor in taking a chance on something completely new that no one has previously heard of versus an established story/character/world that the company already knows is very profitable. The risk-taking ended a long time ago. I think we got EE and M:S only because their...

A new country would be nice, but it would be nicer if they just plussed the existing countries with more than just more eateries. Or gift shops. I'd love more cultural entertainment and museums. Rides would be nice, but I'd rather they put all the money into Future World where it is...

Incredible, but I couldn't expect less from such a fantastic author. I was amazed to learn how involved he was with EPCOT in the beginning, and of how much of a fan he was. Let's hope he haunts those in charge to do another revision to the attraction!

Very disappointing that they're charging so much, in addition to needing to be a member as well. I can see having this "fan con" type event in addition to official, public events--but not as the be-all, end-all for their celebrations. Besides, thanks to the internet, most of the information...

Sadly, I have to somewhat agree. Disney is what put Orlando on the map. Prior to that, we were a podunk country city surrounded by orange groves, lakes, and alligators. Though there has been a little movement toward bringing more culture into Downtown Orlando (the new performing arts center)...

Exactly. The current script is like talking to elementary school children. Let's face it ... the current tourist wants to be on vacation: mentally and physically. They don't want to be enlightened or educated. That's why we have Nemo, Soar'n, Mission:Space, and Test Track--why we have a...

I like the idea of the "build your own future" but other than the few seconds of amusement as I watch the latest ridiculous photograph of mine go through an episode of The Jetsons--what does it have to do with communication? What does Seimens have to do with it? There's no repeat value in it...

Several elements weren't working when I saw the show last month. When will they finally commit to giving the show either a complete overhaul or a re-do?

I really hope that this "refurb" actually "refurbs" ... the last time I saw the show a few months ago, the audio was horrid, the movements all off, and even the lighting wasn't working right. Not to mention the "slide show" portion needs to enter the digital age ... as in, cleaned up so you can...
