I am convinced an Electronica type offering in Future World that was open after the park closed would be a cash cow though.

Not my cup of tea but I would imagine it would appeal to a large enough number of guest to work well. Just think of such an offering with the fountains and SSE acting as backdrops. WOW!

I actually agree with you completely here...may be the day for both of us to go out and buy Lotto tickets.

When I stayed at BW last june there were few eople useing the acess to bw from EPCOT. I am not sure even the BW guest realized there was a walkway. I cant even imagine the average guest know its there. Boardwalk itself wasnt exactly crowded. ADH is FREE to get in and there was maybe twenty people in there. Maybe if they do a ton of promotion but as noted in another post TDO dont want people to visit ADH...:shrug:

Well given the fact Eastside is covered it can only lead us to believe that springing to life could only mean that huge vacant space.....:) At this point does it really matter what goes in there?

But wouldn't that attract all the miscreants, underage drinking, and drunk driving that "plagued" PI, JT?:rolleyes:

I have already addressed this point. The reason that something like Electronica works at DL is it is a controlled environment. Even when PI was gated there were issues with spillover and loitering. Security was a problem to a degree not suffered by places like CityWalk which has areas that function as control points.

I can't think of a much more controlled area than Communicore Plaza. Especially after the rest of the park is closed. They could put on an amazing tech show and it would be a very safe environment.

As for the potential for drunk driving, Disney could offer perks for designated drivers and have sobriety check points for those leaving the parking lot run by off duty police.

Ok....so you ignore my post but I dont ignore yours....A Rave type atmosphere just dosnt fit EPCOT or WDW. The guest clientel isnt the same here as it is in DL. Even you said so yourself in a earlier post. The guest clientel at WDW is a little more mature. Plus I think this dosnt adress the need for the missed oppurtunity for the convention buisness. These guest absolutely are of the mature group as I mentioned.

Nothing I can release. But personally I am quite happy with the changes. Look for an overall relaxed shopping experience but it will also include some fun elements as well.

One more question.....sorry for the inquisition...LOL Will the fans of PI be happy as well?

I would hardly compare Electronica to a "rave". And what did I ignore? (rhetorical)

Anyway, I am beyond tired of covering the same subject over and over. But thanks for playing. It has been a hoot.
