Besides, you sound jealous since your precious WDW didn't even give you a dud of a celebration for the MK's 40th nor for EPCOT's 30th, while we in Tokyo got a TDS 10th and now a TDL 30th event within 2 years. So there. Pay attention because this is how a "real" Disney park (ahem*WDW*DLR*ahem) should be run. My only regret is this: more bratty children in the park getting their HAPPINESS fix..

LOL, i doubt Hans would be jealous. Most people here know he visit's Disneyland more frequently than WDW. I think it has been a pretty long time since he has even been to WDW and could care less about a dumb anniversary celebration.

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt LOL, not that I know of. Then again the whole DL guests are so fat that they're making the Small World boats scrape the bottom of the canal rumor was never confirmed to be true, was it?
Originally Posted By FerretAfros WDW's ride uses flooded rooms, similar to Pirates, not the trough like in DL. While I don't know the exact specifics of the system, it does allow for boats to sit lower in the water (and the boats themselves are much larger, the same size as on POTC). If they were to ever need to make the flume deeper in WDW, I think it would be a much more complex undertaking than in DL (it would likely need to be accomplished by raising the waterlevel--and everything that's supposed to remain above it--rather than pushing the floor down further)

So I guess we'll never officially know. What we do know is that the weren't fully loading the boats, leaving empty rows on them, even when there was a line.

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Well, this was poorly timed. I went to Tokyo Disneyland for the first time in December... turning 30 myself 5 days after TDL celebrates its 30th. I really should have taken my trip a bit later so I could have invested in some "30" merchandise!
