They don't need to change the detailing, just increase the amount of interesting attractions. But that's another topic!)<<< Thanks! And it's true,...the great thing about Disney was the level of originality and storytelling they had. Over Disney-ing the Disney characters is when things get stale.

Originally Posted By vbdad55 no no no, I love Disney, but the Great Movie Ride is in the Hollywood Studios and should not be 100% Disney...I'd like to see a few scenes updated or replaced - but we've all had this discussion before...people will never agree on which ones those are.

Don't get me wrong, I would love and original attraction and I would hate them changing the GMR, but I really enjoy Pixar Place. I am really loving the DCA redo...Mickey's Fun Wheel and all. I would absolutely love a Muppets movie ride, maybe by the time the new movie comes out.

But the diversity in everything from people to weather to cuisine to entertainment options to shopping to cultural events ... you just don't get that anywhere in FLA (even here in the metro Miami area, which is supposed to be the best place in the state for diversity). ~Look for Spirited DLR Musings: Coming Soon to a LP Near You!~

Heh.
