So there you go, all you DCA bashers My little girl can't wait to go back! And since the lines are so short and the characters are always available, Mom and Dad can't wait either.

And I love Bug's Land at night. I walk through just to walk through!

Originally Posted By Hans Reinhardt "In my opinion, attractions for everyone should be the ONLY kind of attraction they build." I agree, however I do think there is a demand for attractions that appeal to younger children that aren't going to be all that intriguing for older kids and adults. Likewise, there is a demand for more adult rides that would require limitations on height and weight which would exclude the younger set.

I'll have to make a point of checking it out next time I am at DLR.

Cater to the 2-7 set. But since you decided to bring this into a Discussion Format .... Casey Jr., Story Book, and the dark rides cater to 2-7 year olds AND adults .. and any Disney park that can accomplish things that can cater to BOTH .. will always win with me. (Haven't been back to Flicks Fun Faire since the year it opened - No point in an adult hanging around)

And Redwood Creek Challenge Trail didn't fit the description as I think it can be interesting for guests of all ages. These are of a very different nature than what's now in FFF.
