    But then again, Disney hasn't exactly been too concerned about proper theming lately...

    People have always been fascinated with things that are either really big or really little.... such things are whimsical.

    <<I certainly don't understand how it helps further the theme of the park>>

    It's not meant to further the theme, it's meant to scream DISNEY to the masses.

    I would have thought Big Sorcerer's Hat would be more fitting.

    Thanks for your response and sorry for going OT.
