Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "Minus one D/E Ticket and more area theming (like facades and the like thru the entire land), this IS the first plan." Exactly what I was thinking, not to mention that the Disney Fairies area, which appeared to have had a version of the Carsland tow-truck attraction, is gone now. And how is removing Snow White's Scary Adventure and replacing it with a Princess meet & greet an improvement? Wow. I'll hold back any further criticisms until more details are revealed but for now this project seems like it should be so much more than it is. Given how long it's been since the MK got anything new it feels like something is missing from this project.

The coaster is a step in the right direction, but still falls far from what could have been done. Losing Snow White is a terrible decision. If there was an issue of space at the MK that would be one thing, but to lose an existing attraction for a meet and greet that could have as easily been included in the expansion is a shame.

I have always thought that DLR's Fantasyland was much better than the one at WDW and that's a shame because there's so much more room at WDW. Maybe this will raise the bar a little. And Wahooskipper, my son is definitely more excited about Legoland than any new expansion too...
