The show needs some new life injected into it. If it closed and got a refurb with a new script, voices, and new ending, this will all help...especially if they can give all the father figures some new AA figures. It is the second oldest attraction at WDW, and the only disney attraction to be moved twice and the only Disney attraction at WDW to be overlooked and looked on by walt disney. He actually walked on those first three stages a long with disney legend harriet burns, etc. Just give the ride some TLC and it should do well.

But honestly, I get a lot of that still in Anaheim ... and I love Paris's attractions, if not its upkeep (much better of late) ... and say what you will about me, maybe it's the joy of being able to be a temporary 'local at HKDL, but I just greatly enjoy the vibe in that little park on Lantau.<<< Say whay I will about you? Ok, then I won't tell anyone how much you cried the day you left TDR and departned Tokyo. It'll be our little secret. leaving for HKDL in a few moments.. will think of you all day!

Hope you like more 15 story towers, just don't annoy the people, who live year round at WDW. $1,971/night rooms all year at the "big 3" hotels on the lagoon. If you can afford to take 2 weeks off as an American you can afford to be close to the magic. Over priced walking shoes and oxygen tanks and swimsuits...you'll need those to get back to the Poly during extra magic hour nights. The Magic Kingdom: Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, PoTC, Jungle Cruise, 2 parades, a 1970s evening parade, and a fireworks show from 2003...that's all that will be available at the MK...but you can get fried chicken strips, wait for fantasyland, and you'll have to take a ticket and come back to see Wendy, because she and everyone else won't be around during EMH evenings. Walking shoes: you'll need more of these because the monorails probably won't be functioning much longer. Walking shoes: you'll need these because the bus system won't last much longer...it's getting old. Taxi cab: Disney should just buy/create their own taxi service...$3/ mile to get you around the vacation kingdom. Epcot: closed WoL, UoE, Innoventions,Imagination, but world showcase, mission space, soarin, and test track will be open! Disney's Marvel studios Animal Kingdom...with disco yeti and limited animal showings Offering less, offering new things that are either rehashes from something that happened years ago or offering nothing substantially new...Meg!

(apparently they've never been to Ocala)

Or smoke and people watch on the former loading area of the CoP...you won't be able to see the gear symbol walls...those will be covered by a hedge wall. Maybe you can take a leak at the swiss chalet bathrooms...I hear theyre going to just play that old skyride BGM loop because TDO doesnt want to pay for new music.
