Originally Posted By TDLFAN Needless to say... I am quite disappointed. First up... I am so sick of HSM, even though Zac is cute as hell... but enough already! Secondly.. Muppet Lab?!?!? What will be next? Dismantling MuppetVision 3D and moving it to HK? Turtle Talk? Is Stitch's talk show on the way out to be replaced by this babble fest? Lastly, Art of Animation...don't they already have the Academy thing there? so why the redundancy? I would have prefered the MSEP for the summer months.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN Oh I see... Thanks for explaining that. Still, I think HKDL deserves better than just more recycled crap from all of the other Disney resorts.

I mean Small World is opening next year, so why not add these small entertainment offerings at that time so when guests arrive they find things they never knew about and tell their friends. The problem with the way HKDL did it, is that they raise expectations with this little stuff.

At least there had been SOME sort of activity in the area beyond the train tracks in Adventureland a while ago.
