This is not good.
Originally Posted By Justice dresswhites, I agree with all of your points. The Nightmare Before X-mas film is a wonderful Disney owned property that should be exploited.

Imagine you are a small child that got to go to Disneyland every two years in November...you would never know the wonders of the HM...you would only know HMH and to me that is sad Justice

I saw them they were staring me in the face. Those are good things to complain about. Thank God!!! Disney has a strong Fan Base who point these things out. That's one of the thing's I like about AP's. They pay attention, they know all of the little details in the park (better than most Imagineers) they know how it used to be, they know how good it can be and I'm glad that there are AP's out there who point out peeling paint and bad shows like SSL. So I disagree.... I think people should go on the attraction to enjoy it, that's why you go to the park...but if you see something that looks like bad show say something…I always do. Oh, one last thing...Disney doesn't have ride's.... they have attractions. Justice

By your standards of change (excuse me, transformation), splash would still be a cave with a recording of a bear in it, Pooh would be an abomination of nature, and DCA would be hell on earth (not like it isn't already).

There was NOTHING about the HMH that I liked one bit. I came out disgusted at Disney's attempt of blending the cult-type movie with our original HM. I have no clue WHY people like the HMH, because they are bored APer's or what?? I agree with luvdamaagic and dresswhites.

Please, don't get so crabby, CS - I was not being mean or sarcastic, and like I said, some like one flavor, some another. I was merely stating, that I prefer the original HM, all year. I love iasm done for Christmas, I am not against change. Hallowwen is my favorite "holiday." There is that holiness of Christmas, however, that Tim Burton mixes with "evil-like" characters and it bothers me. Totally my own opinion, ok? Ok! Now smile and think lovely thoughts, )
