OK, I know Disney didn't pay for this coverage. And this view is pretty universal ... but wouldn't you like more indepth (no pun intended) reporting on why Pirates is so damn good?

Is nobody going to comment about how good Mickey's new head looks in that video?

SDL opens in less than 4 hours!
That one did rub me as something that's not his true opinion.
But what shocked me even more was "The paving changes from land to land and area to area. That is impressive.” Really? That's impressive? Because it doesn't already do that at nearly every Disney park in the world?
Glad he made it out for the opening. But that's just ridiculous beyond words. It's not good for the company, it's actually kind of embarrassing. If you're going to talk about something in specific, Marty, please choose wisely next time!
Miceage/Micechat having a less-than-glowing outlook on a park that isn't Disneyland? Unheard of!
I actually don't think it looks better than the old one. I don't mind it, it has it's plusses, but I think the older face had a more captivating look to it.

Sigh....beautiful and I like the idea of no incessant, repetative song. Yet another well executed, perfect example of "show" and placement that I will never see.
Good read from Julie Makinen of the LA Times:

Celebration Cafe, which you listed as one of the food places in Toy Story Land back a few years ago, is actually open and serving food. Though it's not themed to Toy Story at all, and I don't know if that plans to change.
I hope they at least change something, because nothing in that picture invokes the feeling of a celebration. Except for the fact that celebrations usually look temporary...

Yeah about that: Universal's planning on reviving the Shrek franchise now that they own Dreamworks

Soon all will be reminded that Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life.

I know. They also have a third park coming where Shrek can easily move to and have something better than a DVD bonus feature

I hope it is more a prequel following Donkey or Shrek than either a sequel or a full on reboot of the original. But by far the biggest thing in that article is that there could be a 4th Austin Powers!

Indeed.
I personally find the 'copycat' inscription for Shanghai's Park mimicking Disneyland's original Dedication to be in very bad taste.
Call me a purist or a nutter if you wish, but that famous set of words on the Orignal Disneyland's plaque mean something and should remain only at 'Walt's Original' and not be 'bastardized' elsewhere....exspecially with such a poor attempt to try to emulate the source.
Just rubs me the wrong way....and I cringed when I first saw the text.
At first, I seriously thought it was a joke.
Nope. It's really the Dedication for Shanghai Park.
Eh.
Seems rather shallow and empty worded to me.

You mean the "To all who come to this happy place" thing? All the international Disneyland plaques use it.
