That's like saying you have a football team that's too heavy on the sports factor. Fantasyland is all about fairies--and princesses too!" So are some sports teams too........from what I've heard. I have always questioned the "masculinity" of groups of men that want to get sweaty together, shun women from their locker rooms and shower together. ; )

Can somebody please provide CONCRETE answers as to what is being built in the FLE at the MK? Thank you!!!

What isn't confirmed is what we are getting, and where it's going. We are back to square 1, we have an idea that something is up, but we don't know what.
Originally Posted By Christi22222 It is kind of weird, though, that there are buildings going up, and we still have no idea! It's not like this is in the blue sky drawings phase. A little scary and very telling that even Disney isn't maybe sure. Yikes! (Now if they'd like us to help them out and let them know what they ought to do....)

ORWEN: And there's no doubt that a Little Mermaid attraction is being built. Anything else beyond those two things is just speculation.

When it comes to attractions, they are a mess these days. And yes, I'll help in a second. For free. ;-)

Year in, year out, one truth holds: Boys play with toys oriented to boys, and won't touch toys oriented to girls; girls will play with toys oriented to both boys and girls. Hence, toys (and theme parks) geared toward "traditional boys" will automatically appeal to both genders. Toys (and theme parks) geared toward "traditional girls" have to attract twice as many girls in order to be equally as successfull. Seems someone didn't realize this when they weighted the FLE so heavily toward traditional girl properties. Now there is a rush to "correct" the situation, and no concrete announcements have been forthcoming. (P.S. Yes, I know there are exceptions to every rule, and that it is wrong to stereotyope what is appealing to boys and girls. I am just offering what is well known throughout the toy industry. And it is not fostered by toy designers, producers, and marketers. It is just the way those darn kids are!)
