I admit I can't believe it, but maybe WDW is actually tired of embarrassing itself with attractions so bad that even its most ardent supporters can't even defend them. I dunno ... I am not posting anymore until I talk to some people beyond Orlando.

Does forced-pretending not work with the Laugh Floor?

I own several of his masterpieces. They keep me grounded in the true reality of Hollywood film making. Maybe Monsters Inc. laughing Floor will act the same way for the rest of the attractions at the Magic Kingdom or maybe it will turn out great. I guess we will all just have to wait, and see.

I'd like to know what happened to the great old saloon show that used to be a top draw until Disney decided it didn't want to pay real entertainers when it could get college kids to be foamheads for $6 per hour.
