Originally Posted By Cindermomster Well, Sorry, But I am so so anxious to know just about anyting about Pirates changes. It will still be a big surprise to me when I actually see it in person.

That Disneyland would never be completed as long as there was imagination in the world.

Originally Posted By dizzdis hmm we will see if I can stand it. For now I say I am waiting to see it for myslef first. BUT sometimes my need for a Disney fix gets the better of me, and I may end up looking anyway! Anyway, I am never disapointed with the real thing.
Originally Posted By dzy76 My first thought is I'll wait. I'll be there July 27th to see for myself. But who am I kidding - I'll look at everything posted until the day I drive off from Oregon to California!
Originally Posted By peanut34 hopefully I will get to ride POTC the day after it's reopening YAY I say hopefully because I know the lines are gonna be crazy. but I think I might just stand in line all day just to be one of the firsts to ride it.
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I'm hoping I'll wait until I ride it for myself to find out anything about the changes. It depends on whether I'm going to get to go before 2009 though - atm that's my next trip time, and that seems a little TOO long to wait. I would rather wait, though, partly because I want to experience it for myself and be surprised and partly because I don't want to hear negative impressions of the changes and have that colour my opinion before I see it for myself. Yes, I know, mind of our own at all but that sort of thing can make a difference.
Originally Posted By Sweeper I'll read and look at pictures. We avoid the summer crowds so I won't see it until September.
Originally Posted By ilvdland I don't want to know until I see it. Of course, curiosity will probably get the best of me, but I'm going to try and be surprised. I just have to remember to tell Deogges Mom and Darkbeer not to tell me anything.....LOL!!!

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I won't look.

With Monsters Inc I avoided reading too much. I'll be there the week after opening and I'm ready to stand in line

Originally Posted By SuzieQ LOL! Read again, Darkbeer. He says, "There are currently plans to offer a soft-opening to park visitors on Sunday the 25th, the day after the premiere, but that may not pan out..." That's a cut and paste quote from the bottom of page 1. BTW - there is an option to skip the spoilers in this update for those like me who don't want to know too much ahead of time.
Originally Posted By SuzieQ ^But don't read the last couple of summary paragraphs on page 5, because they have a couple of spoilers.
Originally Posted By love DL Well I already read all about it. Couldn't wait. Thanks Darkbeer April was the first time we had ever been so I had never rode POC anyways. Going back next year and looking forward to it as well as nemo and other changes.
Originally Posted By mickey42397 Even though I plan on being among the very first to ride, I will not look at video until I do. If by some chance somebody gets video before opening day I don't want to see it. I will however look at pictures up until the 24th, if there are any.
Originally Posted By CrouchingTigger It will probably be a couple of years before I'm able to go on it, so I'm ready for all the spoilers I can find.
