Why? What's wrong with it? I like the new lobby. So to each his/her own.
lost the wow factor with the mini tiki god as opposed to the giant water fall? I loved walking in and hearing the water fall and the smell of the tropical plants.

I think it's way better. But this thread isn't the place for serious discussion of such things. It's a place for hyperbole, revisionist history, and sarcasm.C'mon. At least have ONE real reason.![]()
Hmm, I never thought - wow - when I entered the lobby. I thought - where the heck is everything, since I can see nothing else, and, where do I tell someone to meet me here in the lobby? I just always thought is was too big for the area. Now saying that, could they have made the new one larger? Yes, and they probably should have, since I agree that it is a bit small, but over-all, I like the look of the new lobby compared to the old one.lost the wow factor with the mini tiki god as opposed to the giant water fall?

do you mean you think he would have run it into the ground?
I doubt it.Yes. I am thankful that he did not oversee any development of the project at all. We would with out a doubt not have a Disney World to enjoy today.
Why? He had lot's of corporate sponsors all over his park. Starbuck's presence is there, but muted.I think he would have been outraged by Starbucks' presence in the parks.![]()

That is an excellent article that everyone who thinks that Walt was perfect should read. He left things unfinished, sometimes for months on end, even in guest areas. Nobody is perfect.I think this is a question that will never have an answer.

I also don't think Walt would mind Starbucks. You guys are hilarious. He could not have BUILT Disneyland without corporate sponsors.

You can't go there, since Club 33 has had alcohol from day one in DL, and it was his idea. And as far as drink prices go, if it's too much for you, or not worth it to you, then don't pay it. While I can certainly afford it, I would not spend $39 for a drink with a souvenir cup. But I will get multiple Lapu Lapu drinks from the Tambu Lounge!would he have gone along with the price structure for drinks and meals since family was his thing. I went to the new Sam's Grotto at the Poly , $39.00 for a drink in a souviner glass submarine. OUCH. Would he have approved of the alchol in the parks?
I think he would be disappointed by the lack of good show in the attractions and parks overall. Many of these boards contain recommendations for simple painting refurbishments and repair of audio anamatronics, Walt would not have tolerated a "bad show". Additionally I think he would be disappointed in the lack of imagineering new concepts in the sense that many of the "new" rides are simply duplications of existing rides (Ariels Under Sea Adventure, etc.).
On the other hand, I think he would have liked the idea of continuing progress and innovention with the current technology capabilities of today and would have looked to utilize those opportunities wherever possible.
