You see, that is probably my biggest problem with the expansion. I'm still really excited about it but my problem with it is that it's directly aimed at little girls and little kids in general. This is exactly why Walt built Disneyland in the first place; so there can be a place where people of all ages can have fun, not just preteens. To be honest it seems sometimes like TWDC sees their parks as a place where they can steal money from parents of little kids and this expansion really isn't helping them with that. What they should really do is take a look at the plans and see what things they can do to change this to a land that everyone will love.

Gonna have to trust me on that one. Disney hasn't delivered anything on the level of HPatFJ since maybe Indy or Tower. Maybe.
With Mermaid, they didn't even aim that high.
If and when Disney calls Mermaid an E it is purely marketing and PR.
Nobody in the industry, even at WDI, considers it to be an E. It's a nice D, nothing more.

It'll still be a good ride. Remember, TSMM is a D as well.:shrug:

I guess I was just hoping for something on the scale of HM!

Exactly. Nothing wrong with Mermaid at all. It'll do it's jobs of adding capacity to the park, and entertaining the dark ride lovers and kids.
Why does it matter if it's a D or an E Ticket? A good ride is a good ride, and I'm confident WDI will deliver.
Things I like (so far) from FLE:
- Little Mermaid ride
- Be Our Guest restaurant/Gaston's Tavern
- The atmosphere and theming
- Dueling Dumbos/mini-Circusland
- Cinderella M&G...I'm fine with this one. It sounds more like a real attraction than the others.
, especially since "Sleeping Beauty" would actually make a cool dark ride. If Disney was looking for this to be their Potter Swatter, they are wrong. Harry Potter Land looks awesome, and it is a major incentive for me to visit Universal again despite the fact that I thought the resort was overall "meh" the first time.All in all, though, I look at this an overall net gain. We're not losing anything, and the things I listed above are an incentive to return when it all opens. I just hope this doesn't become the model for future Disney theme park investment.

Be Our Guest Restaurant looks like an E-ticket restaurant to me.
Except with the current dining options, it'll be impossible to get in!:lol:
I know you keep saying that it's supposed to be a D but judging by everything I've seen; the size of the show building, the models for the scenes,and the detailed artowrk for the scenes, some of which look massive, if it's not supposed to be an E than it's going to be some type of Super MEga D.

How do we know TLM won't come out better than expected? How do you know the FLE won't have some surprises?
It's one thing to expect your reaction, but I think you are really jumping the gun.

Exactly.
If TSMM is accepted as a D, then after TLM it should be a low C/B. :lol:
SO true. My family HATES making reservations too. Lucky me. UGH

They are really going with the Clown overlay for the Barnstormer? What a missed opportunity, in my opinion.
I posted an idea on my blog for a Pink Elephants on Parade re-theme for the Barnstormer.

Nope JP is way over rated and has a T-rex that moves even less than the Yeti.
Hulk is a good coaster that I CAN.T handle anymore same with DD.
Besides Spidey its all thrill rides and unlike the ones in WDW for the most part I can't handle them anymore. There is nothing in that park for me, I haven't been in 5 years and reall only like the original park.
As for TLM I was hoping for HM not just another dark ride.

Okay well, another thread in this forum states that the 40th will have a new parade and a new castle stage show?
I'm extremely excited to see DAWM go away and for Dreams Come True Parade to get burned...! Hopefully the parades will be high scope!
