    Instead? Meet and Greets. It's terrible.

    Must've been July 4 or New Years, because I don't remember ever seeing the wait over 20 minutes.

    Wow - talk about cynicism. There's not really much content in the message when you parse it out. Just a form letter saying thanks for your input and please keep enjoying what we have to offer. I didn't see anything smarmy or faux about it at all.

    And I hate to break the bad news to everyone, but meet n greets are extremely popular!!!

In fact, one could successfully argue that a Princess meet and greet opportunity would be better suited in "other" accomidations; such as closer to a bathroom (so little children can whipe the sweat off their faces before picture taking). OR, could be placed somewhere in the "New" Fantasyland reclaimation ( I mean "extention" ) project as the original plans called for. In fact the "new" 7 Dwarfs mine train wasn't even in the original plans for the project and only after many, many guests pointed out that the entire project was obviously biased toward girls and had little to nothing to offer boys. Did WDW change their plans to put in the 7 Dwarfs coaster. Also, if one was to look at the 7 Dwarf's coaster online sketches there is only one indoor show scene, Snow White is no where to be found, and the dwarfs look like garden gnomes.

    Talk about downplaying a fairytale.
    The popular ABC TV show "Once upon a time" is more true to the Snow White story than this ride is proposed to be.

    ORGOCH: Ya oughtta be glad ya got a answer at all!

    ORWEN: I am! I mean, the last time I wrote to Disney I asked them to consider putting in a Krispy Kreme donut shop on Main Street. They totally didn't reply to that one!

    ORGOCH: Gee, I wonder why? (rolls eyes)

    ORDDU: I once wrote a letter requesting a kissing booth be added to the Fantasyland expansion--where every girl could finally have the chance to smooch with her favorite Disney hunk. but I didn't get a response for that, either. (sigh)

    ORGOCH: The trouble with both of ya's is ya belongs in LOONEY BIN!!!!

So much for all that 'research' they claim they do!

    ORGOCH: Give it up, sister! Ain't gonna' do no good! Walt Dizzy management doees whatever the @#$% they wants, in the end!!

    ORDDU: As for your suggestion, Dreamerica, duckling, that very same idea had been floating around a while back. But I doubt they'll be willing to spend the money on a whole new dark ride by now.
