There is no such thing as a giant sorcer hat anywhere on earth, much less one with two ears and a hand. It is nothing but a blown-up cartoon image, and completely awful as an icon for anything, much less for MGM or Hollywood. Good riddance.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip ^^^ Buena Vista Street is a huge improvement over the old sunshine plaza, but I don't see the entrance itself as being improved at all. It looks almost identical to the one at DHS so I don't see how you can consider it better. I think we are talking about different things. I am talking about the "gate area", where you buy tickets, go through security and get in to the park. You seem to be talking of the initial area you see after entering the park.
Originally Posted By monorailblue No, I'm not, but thanks for supposing. The DHS entrance has ticket booths as part of its structure. DCA's design is much more sleek and inviting without the ticket booths, IMHO. It also feels more grand, somehow. It took the best elements used at DHS and used them in a much better way.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I actually like the attached ticket booths. It gives the area depth and adds some layers to the experience. At DCA, you can see straight into the park from across the esplanade, while it's more hidden in WDW, similar to the train station blocking the view down Main Street And although I like the Pan Pacific look, it doesn't really fit in with BVS. BVS uses earth tones and mostly mission-inspired architecture; the streamline moderne structure doesn't really fit. Hollywood Blvd in WDW is much more art deco and has a more vibrant color pallet, so the sleek teal entry way is more connected

And the Pan Pacific also tells a story, which the elaborate but awkward "postcard" entrance attempted to do but failed. And although I like the Pan Pacific look, it doesn't really fit in with BVS." You're right, but isn't incongruous relationship of architectural styles kind of thing in LA? Come to think of it, it's a thing at Disneyland.
