Just a quick note...Not meant to rattle anyone, just my opinions on some of the things said here:
EPCOT and Animal Kingdom are REALITY type parks, they are both about education of some sort. Would you rather be spoon feed some sugar-coated FAKE story? Or be told the truth?
I'm proud that the American Adventure stresses both the negative and the positive, America has done some horrible things in the past, and it would be wrong to just *gloss* over them. While we are still a great country, we need to learn from our mistakes..
As for Animal Kingdom...Once again, it is the truth...Rain Forests are being burnt to the ground every day, poachers are driving animals to extinction..I hardly think they are CRAMMING anything down your throat by adding a 3 minute story to a 30 minute ride..And I could further argue that the logging scene adds not only an educational element, but also, an element of thrill. Fire is always thrilling.
I know it may be ugly, but sometimes ugly things need attention, this happens to be one of the things.
Disney's Show was called 'True life adventures' not 'Candy Coated happy stories' life isn't a walk in the park, and Animal Kingdom is a Different species of park, not just a fantasyland.
