For what I have been told.. they felt the Tarzan show was way too loud and was interfering with other areas of DAK. Not sure if that is the true reason why the show was canned... However, based on that noise situation.. the theater itself is being basically rebuilt. The tent-like top is coming down, walls will be erected and the entire theater will then be enclosed to offer a much better atmosphere conducive to shows and keep the noise levels within the theater. This would be very beneficial if indeed we get a Nemo show..since a totally enclosed theater would allow such old theater tricks as black lighting and illusions..not to mention in-theater special effects. >>What's going on with World of Disney?<< A mess.. two areas of the store (formerly the Alice in Wonderland section and the Men's dept) are being turned into the "Bibbidi Bobbidi Bootique" where little girls can be madeover as princesses for a very hefty nominal fee, by stage mothers who feel their little girls are all that. The boys on the other hand are getting the "Pirates Adventure Room" which will be a tech bar of sorts with games of skills in a heavily themed pirate decor to it. There will be an interactive pirate AA that for what I have been told so far... will interact with guests. That is all I know. It should all be opening on April 5th.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I'm glad they are redoing the Theater in the Wild. It never really looked that great in general, and really stood out in the context of the park. Hopefully the new version will do a good job of blending in with the trees along the way and keeping the theme cohesive. It will be interesting to see how they handle it, since it connects the very real Everest area to the overdone kitsch of Dinorama. Hopefully, they will be able to make a facade that works with the feeling of both areas.

I am sure they had more than one, but it certainly seemed like the same guy everytime we were there. Yep *sigh* she always seemed to want to snuggle the night after Animal Kingdom if you take my meaning. Darn. Wait a minute... I recall her saying Indiana Jones was hot. Maybe I can get that guy to do Indiana Jones stunt show shirtless and flex his muscles a bit.

Me? I could not get pass the bad wig and the ugly bare feet. So, good riddance. However...let's talk about *the* Tarzan currently playing in HKDL's Golden Mickeys... or the Tarzan who performed in TDL's 100 years of Magic Parade... Talk about ATOMIC HUBBA HUBBA!!!

Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>Does anyone else feel the Everest gift shop is a little on the dark side?<< Dark..yes and a bit too crammed too. Difficult to walk a straight line out the door once you get off the ride.
Originally Posted By MinnieSummer I think that difficulty in walking a straight line out the door is intentional -- got to sell those souvenirs. But if I can't see it I'm not going to buy it. Maybe once the ride isn't quite so new they'll thin out the merchandise and it wont be so bad. Also, does anyone know when the new restaurant is going to open?
Originally Posted By MinnieSummer I think it has. It's supposed to be the first table service restaurant and it will be Asian cuisine. Of course I could be dreaming -- I've been known to do that.

It's all about the money*money*money!! You see that everywhere at WDW now a days... Photographers haunting you for overpriced photos (does anyone remember the days when we needed NO photographers in the parks and took our photos ourselves??), or Characters buffets in restaurants that used to charge under $10 per person to eat in them, or Pin carts every 10 feet or so??? But Gof forbid they fixed the broken dolls in the newly refurbished IASW ride... No siree!!! No money for that!
