I understand what you (and Ray Bradbury) are saying - that if it hasn't happened yet, then it is technically sci-fi. And what you pointed out regarding "Stitch" in Tomorrowland is exactly what I am refering to. It is the Stitch-like and Buzz Lightyear-like entertainment that I hope does not come to Epcot.

That's the whole point about WDI, when they do their true magic they transport you to another time, another place, another world. I don't understand how that can be a bad thing.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros It's a totally different kind of Streetmosphere! When comparing TDS and DAK, I really do feel that DAK is much more fantasy-based thatn TDS. There is Discovery Island, which looks nothing like any place that exists in the real world. Also Chester and Hester's really does have a lot of fantasy and creativity involved in it. Sure, it might not be the most flattering theme ever, but it was done creatively. Many of the other lands really feel like a postcard from the places they represent, like the World Showcase Pavillions in Epcot. They feel real, but not authentic. On the other hand, the TDS areas are totally realistic, down to signs in the "local" langauge of different areas. Mermaid Lagoon is pure fantasy, and while the Mysterious Island and Port Discovery are based in fantasy, they feel very very real. The rest of the lands feel amazingly real (excluding the other guests in them), and really make you feel like you have gone halfway around the world within a few steps. Although I do not have the same complaint of TDS feeling too real, I can definately understand the logic behind it.
