I felt like I was on a REAL Disney theme park ride .. instead of being on something half-baked .. like everything else in DCA. It is too short without the 5th dimension room (since I have been on the Florida version before 9 years ago ... but all the other WONDERFUL details help make up for it. Like a true Disney Connoisseur ... I got into all the wonderful details on approach to the entrance ... to the exit of the shop. more later ~dean

I guess they would be safe if it was shot from the roof but I am not familiar with Safety regualtions. In florida we were eating in the castle when that fireworks went off and some were shot from probably less than 60 feet away and were at I level with us. That was pretty exciting.
