Before you know it they'll have a "Clubbing Around the World with Paris Hilton" ride and "Heidi and Spencer Exploit-A-Thon" ride and then I'm DONE! By the way, who are these Heidi and Spencer people? I know something about him cheating on her or something, but I see their frozen-Colgate-smile little Barbie and Ken faces everywhere and its really starting to get on my last flingin' flangin' nerve.

Profit margin is higher.>> I don't know about anyone else here but I've been to DtD one to many times where we tried to eat at a restaurant and found almost all the wait times be at least 1 hour many exceeding 2 hours. As much as I hate restaurants DtD definitively needs more indoor seating.

I'd like to know what slick MBA thought it was a good idea to close them all.

Bold in the sense they want just more of the same-ole .. same-old "more of the same restaurants .. more of the same shops". Lets take away the unique flavor of the complex .. and just make it into one giant restaurant and shop! And they call that "bold"?!! Yeah .. okay .. if you slick execs think so!

I highly recommend the show at the River Roost at POR. I can't remember the guy's name (Bob something or other) but it's SO much fun.
