First, Kevin Lee is a bit of a clown.

Editor's Note 8/17: People think I hate Disney World. Nothing could be further from the truth. What I do hate are the people running the place. Kevin's article today details a perfect example. And don't blame him for the headline -- that was my idea. - Al Lutz
That "Star Wars Dream Park" art was pretty awesome.
It completely baffles me why Disney and Lucas have not collaborated on either a large LucasLand or an entire theme park. The amount of money to be made on such an effort would be astonishing. Sadly, I think that ship has sailed.

I am usually against the idea of a 5th gate, but when SW and LOTR are in question I change my mind.

What's LOTR?
A fifth park is the last thing I want from WDW. They should fix the parks they have now, THEN go on to the 5th gate.
I appreciate all sides of this thread - the even-handed replies and even the posts that are critical of my writings. I like to think I practice what I preach - that if I want Disney to listen to criticisms, I should listen to criticisms myself. So even when they sting, I try to find the value in them.
And there is *always* value to be had in people's opinion. It's seldom the reader's fault when the writer can't express something clearly (unless someone is reading too quickly, maybe, but usually it's the writer's problem to deal with at one level or another).
So I welcome the criticisms, especially when they offer constructive ideas for doing things differently.
As for insider scoop, I won't pretend that I am anywhere near Al's league, nor do I have his roster of insiders. I do offer my opinion and perspective on things, which is sometimes all I can do. I agree it's not enough for a reader to form a comprehensive opinion about something you see in the parks - I urge everyone to read widely and gather other opinions and experiences. Mine is but one voice.
And if my tone should forget that from time to time, I deserve the smackdown to remind me of it.![]()

Is there an HQ version of that map? I want to read the captions.

Last Tour TO Endor, not Last Tour OF Endor.Well, if we REALLY want to get technical, we never actually TOUR Endor (or even it's moon), do we?
I want my money back!!!!
I guess Al really does read these boards:
Ha, I guess Al really does see this forum!
Last Tour TO Endor, not Last Tour OF Endor.
Kevin Yee is a fine reporter on WDW. I don't get the aversion. I should hope the more mature posters / readers would understand the concept of critical reporting.
