I still have so much to say. Tower of Terror is one of my MOST FAVORITE rides in all of Disney. And Toy Story Mania is epic. I've seen all 3 movies a bunch of times. Soarin and Test Track are my two most favorite rides in Epcot and I see a ton of women in line for them.

In fact, last time I rode Test Track I sat next to a LITTLE GIRL who was dressed like a PRINCESS and her daddy. She LOVED IT. And they were going to Akershus that night.

And I saw a little boy taking pictures with the princesses at Akershus too.

Are you all finished yet? Please do not let me stop you if it makes you feel better about yourselves when you collectively gang up on a person whom you clearly misunderstood. If it is helping you all releive stress by continuing this bashing festival then by all means keep going. If you need help finding more memes or images to help illustrate your insult then please use google or bing as helpful references. And to the person who found it necessary to question my parenting skills, thank you. You do not even know me yet find it acceptable to judge who I am as a person and a mother. So thank you for showing that insight into what kind of person you are. For the rest of you who actually care about this subject at hand, I will once again repeat this is NOT about womens rights or education or skill levels. As a female myself of course I encourage girls of all ages to persue whatever dream they may have, and I also believe that any person male or female can BECOME whatever they choose to be. But this is not the issue. I am talking about two WDW parks in particular which seem to cater more heavily toward one gender rather than a fair balance such as MK. I admit I was a bit harsh toward DHS, and forgot about the Mermaid stage show as well as Fantasmic. Perhaps it is more of a balanced park than I originally gave cerdit for. I was afraid it was turning over to "Star Wars Central" especially if this rumored Star Wars land ever gets approved, then it would seem the park is geared mostly toward boys. Epcot could use a good attraction geared mostly toward girls to help even the playing field. I like my original suggestion of incorporating Belle into imagination. Look at how she and her father Maurice acted. He was an innovator. She used her brain over Gastons braun to outwit him. Does that not sum up many of the key points of which the imagination pavillion is all about? Today as it sits, it is more of a pavilion revolving around the human senses. It is outdated and could use an appropriate update. And for the final time, I never suggest there should be a park solely for girls and themed to the Disney princesses. That was never an issue. If any of you feel like backing off the attacks and care to discuss this topic based on attractions and how the parks could be ore balanced, I am all open for discussion. But please do not attack me personally or my parenting skills. I have two beautiful children who I encourage to go as far as their dreams can carry no matter if it is my son or daughter.

I really have to disagree with the op post suggested that females have no interest in math, science and exploration. I am saying this as a male who graduated from high school in 1997 at a public school and got a college degree in 2001. Unless if something changed since I was in school, the remarks by the op are outdated based on what I remembered in High School.

When I was in high school, I took a classes that gave me an opportunity to decide what degree I wanted in college that included classes in Computer programming, drafting, and accounting. I had classmates that were female in those classes. The Computer Programming class I took even had a female teacher who know her stuff. The females in the Computer Programming class was honor roll students. I mentioned computer programming because you need math skills for that class or for that profession.

It is granted that not every female is going to like every subject, but the same thing is true with males.

OK everybody- chill out! Give the OP a break! She was just making a simple observation. If you agree, fine. If you disagree, fine. In general I believe WDW is for all ages, races, creeds, genders, etc. Nothing is truly gender specific! Heck- my boys still enjoy Sofia the First and Doc Mc Stuffins- and they're 9! It's simple, family fun cartoons that teach good lessons to our kids! EPCOT and DHS have so much for all! My boys enjoy Phineas and Ferb, which replaced Kim Possible! Girls or boys can enjoy the adventures, the world showcase, test track( women drivers such as Danika Patrick), mission space ( women astronauts), Tower of Terror and RNRoller Coaster, plus BATB , Little Mermaid, etc... etc.... etc....
I do think in general EPCOT and DHS need to make some changes, but hopefully that's coming ( not gender specific). Boy or girl, man or woman, WDW has something for everyone!:joyfull:

Sorry... I read your post numerous times before I commented... I tend to do that, particularly since I'm an English teacher. I don't like to misread anything, so I'm always very careful to be sure I take my time and fully analyze something before I comment on it. Just to be clear, YOU made an offensive post and then tried to backpedal when people called you on it. Now you're attacking us and saying we are trying to relieve stress by bashing you? I'm glad to hear that you encourage your daughters to be successful and smart, but that's a far cry from the vibe you presented here. You can't get mad at people for reacting to what YOU put in front of them.

I can assure you that I didn't misunderstand you. I respectfully disagreed. You're the one who came back and further supported all of the implications you made in the first post by further adding to your own list of stereotypes.

I still don't see how you can justify saying that we "misunderstood" you when we were just responding to what YOU said. No one misquoted you, that I saw, and no one personally attacked you; we just took offense to the ideas you suggested in this post.

OK...all nastiness aside. I wholeheartedly disagree. Plenty of variety and appeal for the family in the parks. You may need to look a little deeper to find it in certain parks but nothing...not an attraction park...not a department store...not an educational system and certainly not society can be everything to everyone. If you disagree then you are free to move along to another venue or diversion.

As an aside to this and a very personal opinion (take it or leave it) I am routinely disgusted by the over the top prissifications perpetrated by BBB that I see toddling around the parks. Dressing up as a princess is one thing but looking like you are made up as some first round reject from Toddlers and Tiara's is quite something else. I have a DD age 11 now and regardless of how happy it might have made her (which it would not have) I would not have allowed her to get so dolled up at such an early age setting (and this is a personal feeling) a damaging precedent of society's expectations of her. Take it or leave it those are my own feelings I do not expect anyone to subscribe to them nor will I be swayed by internet trolling so please do not try.

But that's where you are wrong. You keep saying gender specific. There are boys that like mermaids and princesses. There are girls that love Star Wars.
