Originally Posted By WorldDisney Sorry didnt read the thread, but I will say this about the PP makeover: In 2001, it was litterally the WORST area of the park for me! In 2001, its now one of the BEST! The farm and entrance were both much worse, but there were no attractions there, so you passed through them anyway. But PP had the most attractions, but the least interesting to me in terms of vibe or things to do. Also, in 2001, I enjoyed a total of ONE attraction: Screamin! Now there are five: Screamin, TSM, TLM, WOC and SSS. These have all become must dos assuming I have the time to do them. So yeah, things have changed greatly for me there. I can just sit in PPK for a few hours now and watch the roller coaster. When Paradise Gardens open, it will add to the experience greatly and a great place to grab a beer and relax! In 2001, I would be in that area maybe 30 mins at best, most of the time waiting for Screamin. Now I can see myself spending a lot of time here with so many rides, WOC and just all the nice sit down areas they have. And at night, with WOC going on, it just adds to the energy of the place. In 2001, where WOC and TLM sit now was probably one of the deadest areas of the place in a park FULL of them! Now its one of the most livliest. When Paradise Gardens opens up, its going to add more to it. I never thought DCA would be a place that was actually cool! See what a billion and half can get you! ;D
