And I would have to agree with you, from what other posters here have stated each park has it "own" merits. My post was intended for the "glass is half empty crowd". Why don't some people just post their negativism elsewhere and leave the rest of us to enjoy this section of the LP board.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN I actually like DCA and the improvements coming to it will not make this park any worst, but a bit better. The newly redone Hollywood Backlot is the first of many changes... Read Al Lutz' column on Miceage.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN I will say it again.

Plus, the CMs at DCA were friendlier than their MK counterparts and the park was much much cleaner and better maintained than the MK has been in recent times. One more thing: I love their water raft ride for it's themeing and fun factor, unlike the bland Kali. Like HKDL, there is a lot of potential with DCA if they choose to twick it, and I believe that will be happening soon since bulldozing it would be more costly.

BUt the moment you add in Epcot or ESPECIALLY DAK, I'm going to turn down DL. Epcot alone, not better than DL, DAK alone not better than DL. But MK, the crappy D-MGM (where I only really enjoy WWtbaM-PI! & ToT), and Epcot or DAK push WDW over DL for me. Even if DCA is added in to the DL part of it. Anyhow, I still adore you, just nice to see that after knowing you for so long and usually agreeing htat there are at least SOME things I disagree with you about when it comes to Disney. hehe

Which is why, come heck or high water, I *WILL* be staying at the MiraCosta when DH & I venture to Tokyo in 2010. No ifs, ands, or buts. I'll sell a kidney to finance it if I have to! lol
Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<"The Hall of Presidents in its original, non-partisan, form." My favorite Disney attraction of all-time.>> Wow, really? I would choose the American Adventure of HoP... a more moving presentation, IMO. I do agree that the original HoP was better.
Originally Posted By Labuda "DCA is no more flawed than the Disney-MGM Studios." I'd argue that it's less flawed than D-MGM. DCA has GRR, Soarin', CS, ToT, the MSEP (whatever its current name is), and low crowds. Beats the heck out of a park with WWtbaM, ToT, and an inferior Fantasmic!
Originally Posted By Labuda Russ - I'm just werid. Yeah, I like American Adventure, but it doens't move me the way it seems to do to so many others. But the HoP, original version, has been my favorite attraction since July 15, 1987 and will ALWAYS remain my favorite, regardless of what Disney does. Sentimental reasons, but NOTHING will ever take away from me what I took away from my first visit to the HoP with my father. ANd now that I'm crying a bit, I'm gonna step outside and calm down.

Originally Posted By SuperDry <<< I like DCA for what it is.."a nicely themed 6-flags" >>> ... with only a single roller coaster.
Originally Posted By Labuda It's the show itself (those AAs continue to amaze me today when I see it), but also the narration of the film. That combined with seeing it with my late father and our discussion afterwards have forever cemented it as my favorite. Second favorite is the WDW version of Splash.

And when you stay at the Miracosta...beware.. you may never see WDW in the same light again. Anyways... I am on my way to Japan now to be at TDL's Cinderellabration/Princess Days 2006 opening day on the 17th. Ta-ta!!!
