Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Not the last season of the show, but Simon Cowell MAY be in his last season supposedly.
Originally Posted By FenwayGirl I was pleasantly suprised at how well this attraction was done. It looked exactly like the AI set and if you are a fan of the AI, then you will definately enjoy the show.

Still, not my thing. But, still, well done.

I always felt this attraction would have a very limited shelf life. No matter how well it was done.

That's exactly the way I look at meet'n greets or the expansion in Fantasyland. I'm just concerned that they may have possibly sunk a good deal of money into a very well done attraction that just might not sustain itself in the long run. Prices are already through the roof in so many ways at WDW for them to be throwing away money on unsuccessful projects. This of coarse is only my opinion.

And hey, maybe she keeps spelling her name wrong and you've had it right all the time. She does live in MA after all, and we know how crazy those folks are! <<Proof reading is for sissies.>> Yep. That's what I tell myself when I'm doing it at the same time as posting here! ;-)
