People (coughHokiecough) can't look past their Fanboyism and accept that it's an odd choice.

The fact that you're one of the few who think it is an odd choice should tell you something.

They go to see the attractions, the big shows like the fireworks and stuff like Fantasmic. Standard stage shows few, except hardcore fanbois, make a trip to see at a theme park. Want to see a stage show? Take in a play or a musical in your town. Want something special? Go to Disney.
Originally Posted By MPierce I agree with Manfried, but I am very bias on the subject. I am not the least bit interested in stage shows. It's just not my thing. While I did enjoy the theatre when I was younger it was merely because it afforded me the opportunity to hold Bridget Neely's hand if I went with her (a very good incentive at the time for me). I think stage shows should be kept around because some people like them, but I think the vast majority could care less. Not because they are ignorant or lack culture. Just because they prefer other things at a theme park.

Originally Posted By MPierce I actually think Indiana Jones would fit better in DHS if they would lose the premise of presenting the operational side of movies, and just go with tribute attractions to movies.

That's the best I can help you on that one EE.
Originally Posted By MPierce >> Like meet and greets! That's what everyone wants these days, right? << Unfortunately I think it is. Now don't confuse that as thinking I feel the same way on that subject, because I don't. However meet, and greets are very popular. Therefore it is only prudent to give the guest what they want. However Disney seems to be going for overkill in this area right now. Fluff over substance is a dangerous path to go down without restraint.
Originally Posted By A Happy Haunt Well, I'm all set with meet & greets but if one of my kids HAS to meet special character of choice, then that character better be at every m & g in all 4 Parks!! We dish out A LOT of $$$ & my kids better be happy!! I hope that doesn't come off as rude but there really is a need for m &g's! I only hop in line for The Villians!!

But anyone who says they are as popular as rides has a screw loose(not speaking to you, obviously). Even some of the least popular rides in MK come close to matching a Meet and Greets HRC.
