It's a shame that boys are so afraid to express their 'inncer princess' while it seems okay for girls to express their 'inner tomboy'. But the world just doesn't allow for equal gender expressions.

That's a little over the top. The princess attractions would have been lame because 1) they were glorified meet-and-greets (hey, kinda like trick-or-treating: it belongs in your neighborhood, not the MK), and 2) princess stories are too similar to begin with. Most guests don't need 8 separate princess attractions, certainly not if they're all meet-and-greets. Give me more attraction variety any day.

Only bad thing is the new BGM there. Sounds more MSUSA-ish than Colonial America. And good question! I never really thought of it. LS, I guess? It's "landing" is there...but it does take you through FrL. Hm.

Hm. << I suspected it was in Liberty Square, but that seems weird since it takes you all through the Frontierland riverfront. Never really thought about it before.

Toys (and theme parks) geared toward "traditional girls" have to attract twice as many girls in order to be equally as successfull." VERY interesting observation! "Seems someone didn't realize this when they weighted the FLE so heavily toward traditional girl properties." And once again - these people are supposedly college-trained and are paid OBSCENELY large amounts of money to KNOW these things. It is almost funny it is SO ridiculous! Idiots.

Yes, I just had a small moment of Disney Geek Out Fanboi Plush Clutching over that. Admitting it is the first step.
