What a let down to finally getting to the east coast and the so called "B" mode was permanently on. Sorry Imagineering but flashing a stobe on "one of the most advanced and largest AA's Disney has ever produced" just doesn't cut it for my hard earned money.

Originally Posted By danyoung >DAK is a strategic park at WDW because it is the furthest from Orlando/I-Drive.

DAK is the closest to US 192. And while it is in the farthest southwestern corner of the park, it's the closest to the value resorts. I don't think DAK's positioning has anything to do with Disney putting in more attractions, or trying to keep people away from Universal, a park that's what, 20 miles away?
Originally Posted By Sport Goofy Which park is Flamingo Crossings closest to? Disney wants to have a compelling reason for families to choose a hotel/motel in Flamingo Crossings vice I-Drive. There isn't really a demand for hotels in both places. If families are going to make a choice, Disney needs to have compelling attractions nearby to tip the scales in their favor. Animal Kingdom is the closest proximity park to their newest development -- strategically placed as far from the other Orlando area attractions as possible.
Originally Posted By dshyates Does anyone have any clue what kind of C/D Tickets are going into DAK? After the last 10 years I get a little nervous when Disney goes less than full blown. I am hoping for something more than gussied up flat rides.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I wonder if the smaller things in DAK will be going over on the often forgotten Camp Minnie-Mickey side of the park. It seems that would be the most logical place, since there's really nothing over there right now, and the Pocahontas show just closed, making space for something else to come in and take it...
Originally Posted By dshyates Camp MM could def use a few rides. Especially if when they say C/D Ticket meaning TSMM level. Triceratop Spin not so much.
Originally Posted By danyoung >Disney wants to have a compelling reason for families to choose a hotel/motel in Flamingo Crossings vice I-Drive.< People overall will be MUCH closer to ALL of the parks once the Flamingo Crossings area comes online. Again, new attractions in DAK simply as a draw to FC doesn't make a bit of sense to me.
Originally Posted By Skellington88 I hate to be the one to tell you guys this but what Lee said is all just wishful thinking. The only new attraction scheduled to open at WDW in the next few years is a Monsters Inc. spinning coaster for the studios. Nothing significant on the horizon im sorry to say.
Originally Posted By DisWorldly I believe that the Monster's Inc. coaster is an inverted coaster like the door scene from the film. - According to Jim Hill the Jungle Trek premium park may be dead due to the economy.
