Yes
That's a pretty good summary

Another "good" is all of the discounts/promotions that they offered in 2009. It allowed me to go to 'the world' 3x last year

Thank you it was added! If it wasnt for the Disney Salute Discount I probably wouldnt have gone so many times this year. (3 trips for me too!)

Great list! The good outweighs the bad!

One thing-it was Roy Edward Disney who passed. Also,you should add new breezeway paint,railings,and the removal of a cable structure in Innoventions Plaza.

Disagreements:
Pirates League - It was better as a gift shop.
__DTD__ - No. Nothing good happened there at all.
Skyway Station gets leveled - Way overdue getting rid of that thing.
Tomorrowland Transit Authority Refurb - Really? That was good?
Space Mountain refurb - On the good list? Uh-uh. Nope. Failure on almost every level.

If you took into consideration what could have happened. If you don't, it's a pretty solid refurb.

I can`t see that. It`s saying the UOE refurb a year ago was solid because we got new carpet when all the work went into the RCS. Space Mountain - the actual ride - got minimal attention show and story wise. It is better than before overall - anyone would agree - but the actual attraction got 1 LED screen, 3 new projectors and a starfield that can`t reach the floor. Whoohoo. The queue has 13 new projectors, the actual ride 3. Somethings wrong somewhere. Solid refurb? No. Much needed ride technical overhaul? Yes.

The queue now seems much more tolerable, they darkened the ride, changed the post-show with an added green screen not yet implemented, technical issues resolved. So yes, I say solid refurb. Sue me.

Nah, I won`t sue you. I`ll just say easily pleased - just what management want.

What you have described right there is a solid refurb....of a queue, load and exit.
The ride....no. So little was changed there is no way to call what was done "solid." It's still the weakest Space Mountain of the bunch.
Shame.
