All I heard was " . . . . they bulldozed Toon Town." To which my reaction was: :sohappy: And then I read it again. :mad: For those complaining that a villain themed 5th park would be too limited, that's exactly what I'd say about a certain "theme park" devoted to animals. *yawn*

That kinda bums me out. I know how miserable WDW was during last February's Daytona 500/cheerleading infestation/winter break. 45 minute line times for anything remotely worthwhile. I suppose that's what I get for trying to cram a Disneyland detour into a Comicon trip. :(

What does July of 2008 look like as far as crowds are concerned? I'm getting a 3-day park hopper for both Disneyland and California Adventure and was hoping to get in as much of the park as possible between July 20-July 23.

Yes, but that's not an excuse. Disney would not have simply sold off the retail operation with no strings attached that would permit it to step in and protect its brand. The Disney mall stores near me in Chicago are absolutely atrocious. Poorly lit, stock all strewn throughout the aisles...

Having never been to DL, but having been to WDW many more times than I can count, will I be disappointed about DL's size? Is it noticeably cramped in other words?

Let me just add that I never understood the persistent claims that Animal Kingdom's "theming" was so mind-bogglingly good, "the best of any Disney theme park." (Sorry, but just the photos of the DisneySea park in Japan prove that theory completely and utterly wrong.) Yes, the details in the...

Dead on in every single respect jimbo! Bravo! I never understood the high praise that seems to be heaped on the half-baked woulda-coulda-shoulda-been Animal Kingdom. Beyond Everest, the Nemo musical and portions of Dinoland (yes, I "get" the deliberate Route 66 theming and thought it clever)...

But honestly, Disney suits seem much more willing to part with the cash when the addition to the park is movie-based. They're looking at product synergy, not necessarily original, novel properties. What has continued to bother me about the parks is the tendency to lock up whole genres in...

I guess I'm really, really not understanding this whole "it wouldn't fit at Disney" thing. If not "The Hobbit," then what? Could someone please explain exactly what would "fit" better? So no Tolkein? No Rowling? Nothing even remotely swords-and-sorcery-like or medieval-esque? No...

Otherwise known as the "VERY BEST PART" of World Showcase.

I'll tell you who I'm really not fond of: flash photo-takers in dark rides. Last February as we were taking our first Pirates of the Caribbean ride, this family of four in front of us decided they needed to literally document every 10' of the ride. They passed a flash camera back and forth...

More "Nightmare Before Christmas" please. A l-o-t more.

I stayed 2 nights at the Best Western Movieland in late February of this year. I'll be honest. I'm a big guy - 6', 250 lbs, not a stranger to the gym - and I felt unsafe in a ground floor room, just feet off the side door entrance. The outer doors to the hotel DO NOT LOCK. Unless there...

The song better make it through this update mostly, if not totally, unscathed. I shall be very "put out" if it's hip-hop-icized, or re-imagined in any less-than-flattering manner. In other words, I better still be able to wave my arms in the back of the circle-vision theater, feign...
