It looks to be a fantastic attraction in which the quality we look for in Disney resides. I have nothing against it, save for the fact that it's NOT Disney. ;-)

I want to see WWoHP. Really. I do. I'm excited something of that magnitude has been built. I'm also angry that Disney didn't do something like this. While there's nothing like Disney, there's probably nothing like Harry Potter in a different respect. Will I go see WWoHP? Of course. In due time. We want to go in December, but if Disney is going to make it easy to return, as they have been doing so, We'd rather return there for a lower price that pay full price at Uni. Notice, WE. Parents included. I want to see HP, but of this is the way it works out, this is how it works out. I'm not getting in a tizzy for HP, nor for Disney. As for MSEP? It's a favorite of mine. Always been one since I saw it for the first time. It's nostalgic for me. It's one of those things. You have your Adventurers Club and JC, I have the MSEP. With it back, yeah, I'd go see it, and I did. Thrilled that I did. Seeing MSEP back on MSUSA was probably the highlight of my trip. Don't see the issue with that, seeing it's an opinion, and I'm entitled to it.

But don't take it personally, I am exceptionally cynical (even by my standards) these days. Still, you are missing a lot of things worth seeing and experiencing so you can do the same old, stale things over and over again.

Not real surprised the 'MK dance party' sucks. I'd be surprised if it didn't. What few here likely recall is a time when MK had plenty of live entertainment ... bands ... performers ... during summer. They didn't have to dumb it down to a Walmart level. Not surprised EPCOT looks good. Flower and Garden residual likely. It looked great last month. Also not surprised about the poor MK show quality. And I am surprised the CMs you spoke to about the dirt on SSE didn't look at you like you were ... ah .. uh .. uhm ... special!

They put up with so much $hit that they just shouldn't. But complain to the wrong manager about the quality of a meal and watch out!

What I would do to only live 3 hours away from O-Town... btw, we're not attacking you EE...at least I'm not. I'm just having a little fun at your internet persona's expense...something we couldn't do at the MAGICal site.

Differences of opinion over theme parks wouldn;t be one. That said, I can question your or anyone's tastes (and do) ... that's the nature of life and being a mean, nasty opinionated Spirit! If we were on a MAGICal site and you were one of my fans, I'd tell you to grow a pair and stop smoking the pixie dust pipe. But since we're not and I know you have a (pretty good) brain in your head, I won't! ;-) <<I want to see WWoHP. Really. I do. I'm excited something of that magnitude has been built. I'm also angry that Disney didn't do something like this. While there's nothing like Disney, there's probably nothing like Harry Potter in a different respect. >> That's true. <<Will I go see WWoHP?

They run resident deals and AAA deals all the time. To me, the best deal will always (even now) be an AP at any/all of the O-Town parks. Unless you're only a once a year visitor. <<As for MSEP? It's a favorite of mine. Always been one since I saw it for the first time. It's nostalgic for me. It's one of those things. You have your Adventurers Club and JC, I have the MSEP.

But it is 2010 and I am kind of tired of the same two parades that I went from childhood to some gray hair with still rotating!

Why exactly do you say this?

They've read the books, but they are not fans, like me. No desire to wait in the lines, or even ride FJ. Too intense for them. Honestly, it'd be better if I went alone.

They end up loosing money on us, anyway. We don't stay onsite (Might this trip, but we've never done so.) We don't spend huge amounts on food and the DDP, and merch purchases are usually small. We aren't being discounted in, and then spending a ton to make up for that. And even if I WAS playing into the Mouse's hands...who cares!? We enjoy it.
