Auberge de Cendrillon would be Princess free again and Disney could charge what ever they want and parents would still pay for it.

Originally Posted By dagobert I couldn't care less about the Princess Meet & Greet, but at least it doesn't look as cheap as many other additions to the park. I'm sure many people are already very excited. Didn't Disney refurb the fountain last year or was it already two years ago. Dave, how should the fountain work? I've to admit I've never paid attention to it.
Originally Posted By u k fan It certainly looks like they are making it look permanent. I just wish it were placed differently. I doubt I'll ever go there. Even the kids in my family don't do Princesses in the way Disney would like them to!!!

Originally Posted By dagobert >>>Perhaps I'll go this Christmas for the 10th anniversary of that trip!!!<<< We have been to DLRP for New Year's Eve 2006 and it was the worst Disney Day ever. You can't imagine how crowded the park was. While waiting for midnight children were sleeping on the floor of the arcades and on the tables of restaurants. I still don't get it why parents didn't bring them to bed. The weather was horrible too and it felt weired that it was still Christmas season.
Originally Posted By u k fan We were shocked how quiet it was that day. The weather was miserable so that could have played a part. We spent Christmas Day at the MK in 1999 and that was scary. I've never been anywhere as busy in my life. It took us about an hour to get from the Adventureland/Frontierland passage to the Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner and about the same to get up Main Street. Never again!!!
