Or not. (I'm guessing "not.")

Originally Posted By disneywatcher >> Resistance is futile, Dabob. << Yea, because 5 years later people still bring up the idea that DCA is DCA -- meaning it's second-rate -- due to the idea that Anaheim couldn't accomodate an Epcot-type park, logistically and financially. Or not too different from those people who believed DCA wasn't more popular earlier on because of the effects of 9-11, the weather, the recession, gum disease, etc.
