I would just like to say, I LOVE DHS, but they could eliminate the Narnia attraction or upgrade the theme of it. To wait 30 mins to stand in a room and watch, what basically is like trailer of something you already seen is kind of a huge bore. There was nothing to it and could be developed into a really extroadinary attraction considering the Narnia films.
Aside from that, TOT and the Citizens of Hollywood are by far the best! and just the atmosphere of DHS is amazing, I love it.

Ha Ha. I know, right? ... Seriously, your at a theme park ... have we really become that lazy as a society that we can't walk that far in the course of a day?Agreed, the meatloaf at the 50's Prime Time for lunch, although good, makes we want to run a few miles to work it off. :lol:

This was discussed in another thread just last week: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=687426
As I said at some length then, the biggest issue with DHS is its split personality. The front of the park is a thematic marvel, all the way down Hollywood Boulevard and off down Sunset. I'll even throw in Echo Lake, although there's not much there.
Behind the hat, it's a mess — a haphazard thematic jumble, and a lot of what is thrown together back there just isn't very interesting.

Sorry but when you said since A Bug's Life that meant starting with A Bug's life, and in case you didn't know that is how the English language works, it doesn't just simply bend it's rules to make your statements correct. You were wrong get over it. :wave:

Ah. Well, as long as you have a good reason for being pedantic. I'd hate to think you just got your jollies by being a jerk to random people online. Good to know that's not the case!If you start throwing nonsense at me sure.
For the record, either usage of "since" is acceptable. Bolded examples below would fall in line with the usage you were unaware the English language allowed for...until now. You're welcome.

Doesn't look like it. I don't know how to adjust the world dollar, but just from domestic inflation alone, you're tacking about 115 million on to A Bug's Life.

Yes but the way he stated it implied that it started with A Bug's Life. IMHO if we wanted to avoid confusion he should just not said anything about a Bug's life to begin with and said starting with Toy Story 2 or since Toy Story 2. Either way A bug's life did not do as well as Tangled, his statement was incorrect, and my point has been made.Ah. Well, as long as you have a good reason for being pedantic.

People young, old and childless visit Disney World every single day. My wife and I have no children and even if we for some reason (will never happen, we cant wait to have kids) never had any we would still visit as many times as humanly possible.
PS: Sorry about the double post btw

Sorry maybe I wasn't clear enough....it is not a long walk as in too far...a long walk as in maybe something besides food and shopping would keep it a little more interesting.....that is what I meant. I have no problem walking at WDW.....I do have a problem with your snotty retort that has nothing to do with the OP's statement. I was making a suggestion that is relevant to the topic. I do not believe your judgemental (and incorrect) comment has a place in this thread. Maybe I wasn't clear with my original post but your response is pretty clear as to what kind of a person you are! I see you have been a member of this forum for quite some time....tell me what is it called when people make a rude comment towards others which has nothing to do with the topic being discussed? If you wish to continue discussing this in a mature way please feel free to PM me so we do not hijack this thread. Thank you.

I was thinking that the movie would be implemented in the ride. Something along the lines of Spiderman at Universal. Can you imagine a 3-D ride with Titanic? I can't believe someone hadn't picked up the rights to that yet.
By the way, there is a wonderful attraction in Orlando down International Drive called "The Titanic Experience" which I am sure you and others are aware about. I wouldn't say they don't take what happened seriously, because they do, but the tour guide is always in character and there is a fun element to the attraction. It can be done at Disney for sure

I agree with you totally. It is nearly impossible to tell a skeptical adult who has never been there this story though. They always fall back on the commercials they see on TV or Mickey Mouse, or Dumbo or stuff like that. They have no clue that an 80 year old can enjoy the place just as much

Actually this idea was developed from EPCOT. They originally were going to make a "how the movies are made" pavilion but discovered it was enough to turn into a park.
ToT at DHS opened before the one at DCA... so it's actually the reverse and the Florida version has more features than the DCA version (probably because of budget). LMA looks really cool and I like that they brought in a "how moves are made" show since that's what the park is suppose to be.
That's because when it opened it was MEANT to be a half day park. I believe the plan was you would go there then go to a water park in the afternoon since Typhoon Lagoon opened the same year.
I think this is what makes this park amazing. I was always a run-to-the-ride person but this past trip I looked around more and it was really cool. I'm not a big thrill ride person so this park isn't necessarily my favorite for rides but I love the theming and could wander around for a long time just seeing things.
I agree though, it could use a BIG sprucing. I wish they would do more with the Animation Courtyard that had more to do with animation and not just playhouse disney or shows. I miss what that tour use to be. I also would love it if they updated their shows and utilize the "blessing of size". There is so much that can be done... maybe after FLE they will consider it, but I'd rather see Beastly Kingdom happen first (even though I don't know if that would ever happen...)

That's Disney speak...that is NOT why the park was developed. Universal studios was seen as a direct threat to any dollars Disney might make in Orlando, and DHS was rushed into existence to directly compete with Universal and beat them to the punch.
See "Disney Wars" or "Realityland" -- both books, in addition to many others that are not Disney-written document it pretty clearly with timelines.
