I can't remember the last time I saw that theater staffed with a CM, like the Tiki Room or any other theater show. It's usually sitting there quietly with the doors shut and the little rope up across the entry. I took some out of town visitors there a few months ago, the place was empty, and so I asked the woman working the wine bar when the next show might be. She had to make a call to "her Lead", and after two minutes of waiting we were told "We don't have anyone to send over there right now.... do you want to try back in about an hour?" Uh... nevermind.

Originally Posted By gadzuux >> You know I wish people would just leave DCA alone. << Lots of people are doing just that - they won't go near the place. Classifying DCA as a "great park" is not doing the park any favors. Fact is, it's a troubled park, and both the positive and negative aspects that should be open for discussion. Unstaffed attractions, carny rides, short hours, uninspiring themes and execution, SEVEN(!) film-based attractions, and general poor word-of-mouth are keeping DCA from the "great" category.
Originally Posted By DEDE71755 I agree with carguy_16. Disney did build the hype up too much. DCA is exactly what disney wanted it to be. And it did open with the same amount of attractions that DL did. Some of them tanked right away the same way some of the attractions at DL did.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<SEVEN(!) film-based attractions>> Are we going to the same DCA?? I count four... five if you REALLY STRETCH the definition. Muppets Bug's Life Golden Dreams Season of the Vine And if you want to completely minimize the attraction by call it film-based... Soarin' So where's the other two? By the way… Epcot seems to get along just fine with NINE movie-based attractions, and only a handful of “real†attractions. Ellen’s Energy Adventure Mission Space (hey… if you can count Soarin’ you can count Mission Space) Soarin’ Living with the Land Honey I Shrunk the Audience Canada Film France Film China Film Maelstrom Film
Originally Posted By FerretAfros If we're comparing Epcot here, I have a couple things to add. Ellen's Energy Adventure is far less film based than Soarin, so I don't think it should count. Also, Living with the Land is the boat ride, the movie is The Circle of Life. Maelstrom is mostly the boat ride, with the movie as a post show. As for the other two movie attractions, possibly the Animation building, and the factory tours?
