It's not cynical, it's the reality of big business and ESPECIALLY Disney.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros It's kind of interesting how this promotion (as usual) excludes TDR in the lifetime passes, but it seems to me that would be the most likely place for a family from China to visit, just because the other options are so far away.

Not too hard to figure out from official hospital records.

Originally Posted By Bob Paris I gotta admit, I may be in agreement with ya hear, WD. I talked to a girl at work today who was a Disney theme park virgin. HKDL was her very first Disney theme park EVER and even SHE said it kinda sucked. She said there was nothing to do and it was very small. And this was somebody who didn't even have the other parks to compare it to!!!! I must admit, this is making me think about changing my mind until this place gets a SERIOUS roster count. Some nice skyline and a cable car in Honkers are not enough to make up for a lame Disney theme park.
