Isn't it sad that the most exciting thing that's currently under development at DLRP is a shop.

I'm sure I remember cases etc. in the area that would now be the Princess Experience Room. I guess with that many different themes travel is actually a good way to link them just like a "studio" themepark can get away with any attraction based on a movie!!!

Each of the rooms is themed to a different character/movie, but it's done mostly in the style of the GCH. There is a room with a big stained glass map on the wall, with a 'path' connecting all of the Disney resorts around the world. It's kind of funny how they added HKDL to the map years after it was installed, so the 'path' makes a small loop to and from the Pacific, without connecting to the main path, since that's where the edge of the map is.

They tried to do a Disney-fied version on Universal City Walk, but it never really had that vibe for some reason. "It's also good to see that Front Lot gats a repaving." I noticed that. Didn't they recently repave that area?

Originally Posted By u k fan A couple of things.... I hate myself for saying it, but the more I see the Mickey and Minnie statues the less I like them. They seem proportioned wrong or something.

They work thematically, but considering the point is that it's travelling around the globe it's very wrong. They aren't even the same continent!!! Epic fail!!!

I wouldn't have noticed that without your comment. Maybe the statues have wrong proportions, because the sat on top of the WoDS entrance in NY.
