Wouldn't all of you like to see that, too?

Turning FL into a walk-through for males is self defeating. I just think that EPCOT handles this so much better. EPCOT doesn't devote an entire corner of the park exclusively for princesses.

No one was ever suggesting anything like that. ORWEN: But I don't mind suggesting that there's nothing wrong with representing plenty of princesses in Fantasyland. That's their home and it irks me whenever I see somebody trying to bash the Disney girls and daring to say they have no right to be in the very area of the park where they're best suited to be.

Originally Posted By magic0214 Witches, that is a great point and I agree 100%. Essentially, anything and everything could somehow go into the Fantasy category, but the Princesses can only go in the Fantasy area.

I have plenty of complaints, but how is it straying from being a family place? Especially when so many folks complain it is TOO family and doesn't have enough thrills? Did I miss sarcasm? What would you like the tower to be, at any rate? A ride, restaurant, walk through a la tree house, meet and greet? I like the idea of the tower, but am not sure what I think it should actually be!

Just how many "castles" and towers do you want to see built? And if the Disney Company feels so compelled to devote so much time and energy toward appealing to little girls and women, then they are perfectly welcome to build a "new" theme park entirely devoted to that demographic.

A Princess Park would probably do very well. Honestly...If they would do that, could they do a all serious, futuristic, cultural park? Oh. WAIT. ;-)

And as far as I'm concerned you can never have too many princesses represented in Fantasyland. For those who can't appreciate them, there are many other lands to visit where you can avoid them.
