I think if it was just Trick or Treating around DCA I might have something to complain about... MK was really cool. I've never been to LegoLand (or anywhere in the UK) though so I can't say I can make a fair comparison.. but I did think MK did it up really well this year. =)

First they close the park early to guest who have already paid a premium price for admission. Then they charge a premium price for their extra show. I'm sure it's great, but how about rewarding the regular guest with something extra. If they are to CHEAP to do that, at least do not punish GUEST by shorting park hours for them. Iv'e even thought about starting a thread about why I could no longer support WDW at this time, but it would be way to negative. This is one of the reasons that would be in the list.

I kid you not, those fireworks last night were amazing, and they did put the WDW ones to shame. I did say to Sarah that WDW have them more frequently, but the fact such an awesome show was put on for the standard admission or APers of Legoland, made me even more annoyed at WDW.
Originally Posted By MPierce I hear what you're saying Dave. I feel the exact same way I still love Disney, and WDW. There is no place I would rather be than walking around the WS in Epcot at sunset. There is not another place in the world that can make me feel so relaxed like I do when I ride TTA. I feel completely at home at the WL. I just can't continue to overlook their short comings, and support them with my money. I may change my mine in the future, but that's how I feel now.

I was so disappointed in WDW in 2007, and we had a great time at DLP this summer, but it still suffered from the usual ops problems Paris contends with. DL has always had the best park experience, and I am hoping it still will. But with the direction DCA seems to be taking, and the toon invasion, I am cautious. But I agree, kicking back on PotC, a trip on the rivers of america, a meal in a highly themed restaurant, these are unique to Disney.
