I default to your knowledge, though!

I know this frustrates you, but no I didn't rush through and yes I was bored and annoyed within half a day at the lack of stuff to do compared to EVERY OTHER DISNEY PARK I'VE EVER SEEN. When it came right down to it, it was simply not a full days experience. Maybe it will be now that they're adding so much, I hope so!

Originally Posted By Mr X ***missed the two stage shows*** I should qualify this...yes I would've checked them out if I could've strolled in 5 minutes before showtime, but they were NOT a priority for me. I've seen enough Disney stage shows to last me a lifetime, and for the most part I don't like em. I've seen video of both of the HK ones and they're no different afaik. So no, it wasn't like "boy if only there were a couple of great DISNEY STAGE SHOWS the park would seem so much better to me!", Disney stage shows don't impress me much. Boring *yawn*.

For some reason, I, how can I say this.....I find it heartwarming to see the older park visitors amongst us acting like children. That is not an insult, Witchiepoo. And don't worry if you crack a hip or something during your exertions - I work doing physio with older people and I know just the right places to apply heat and pressure to make you feel better! ; )

I remember standing on the deck of the Columbia, arms leaning on the railing and I actually recall blanking out the road below and imagining we were just about to leave port and head out into the bay. It really does work......you just need a little imagination. Something accountaneers(what Walt disparagingly called "the sharp pencil boys")are not know for possessing.

Originally Posted By mstaft In my opinion, and maybe in my opinion only- I do not go to Disney parks for stage shows, and will only watch a parade if I must. I am not into theater, I'm into attractions. Why? Because no one does them like Disney. Pirates and Mansion still stand as the pinnacle of Imagineering accomplishments. Others can waste their time watching performers on a stage- not me. Maybe that is why people refer to DAK, DCA,HKDL, and the awful WDSP as half day parks.
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORWEN: I'm just the opposite. I go to Disney theme parks mostly for the characters and the best way to find them is in a parade or a stage show.

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 The rides are probably the main reason for me. But I also enjoy parades, shows, dining, checking out the scenery, fireworks. I want the total package.
