M&G should be added bonuses rather than the focus of a multimillion dollar expansion. << Yes I know you didn't, and I never meant to imply you did. I was just pointing out how everything went together to form the whole of WDW. And I so agree that Disney is over emphasizing Meet, and Greets. Especially in the Fantasyland expansion.

I'm OK now, my consciousness is where it should be. Better check the laundry (yeah, even Spirits must use fabric softener!)

Originally Posted By mousermerf <<You only truly fail when you give up.>> No. You fail when you fail. You succeed when you succeed - it's much more simple then any positive action "anyone can be an astronaut" nonsense would have you believe. And how is it frustrating? Disney needs to admit they are not #1 at making robotics and make concessions to the firms who are now #1 and vastly outpacing them - it's not even a matter of catching up. They look laughably amateur in comparison.
