What an excellent experience all around. << Yeah, Seuss Landing is quite a neat place to wander around. It has a lot of character and surprises if you stray from the main path through the land. I imagine a Muppet land on a similar scale could be a lot of fun, not that we'll ever see that happen.
Originally Posted By ChiMike I agree. Seuss is an underrated land with an underrated dark ride. Crikes, they even have a gentle ride tour in the sky ala Peoplemover.

I forgot how great it looked originally. I can only imagine how great Tomorrowland would look after a complete refresh of paint, especially on its Peoplemover.

Where are your priorities man? ---- they are separate entities my friend- we've been down this path and included Lee last time..Bay Lake Tower did not take the place of e tickets.. etc. If one wqnts to complain that there needs to be more investment backinto the parks- it is a valid point- to blame DVC for it howeer is just short sighted and incorrect. They have plenmty of cash ( thanks for DVC) to invet in rides- they have chosen not to. It's not an either or proposition So your last posts the last few days- and the cheap shots at DVC because it simply has become en vogue here.. it's not the KT I know..but the atmosphere here I am complaining about leads to just this. very similar on W/E for a while where "Bush sucks' became part of every post on anything. In some cases it was true and fit, in others it was just following the 'leaders' So we know for sure there are NO issues with Poly from a structural standpoint ? We have that engineers statement posted ? The ONLY reason they are doing it is to add DVC ? Show me that anywhwere and I will then agree it would be wrong..somehow I don't think that is the only reason for Poly work

Went to IoA for the first time last year for WWoHP. Of course, WWoHP was my favorite, as I was totally enthralled and have always been a Potter Fan... ...but SL was my next favorite. Perfect theming, perfect attractions, just pure awesome. The aesthetics were very well done. ...Now, if Port of Entry had a attraction, we'd have a issue, LOL. But SL was REALLY cool. IS there UNIDust, or something?

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>Says the person who only went on four of the parks attractions! Trollololololo<<<< Like that really matters? And by my count, we went on 6 or 7. Not to mention another half ride on FJ (got stuck and evacuated off which was incredible in itself), the shops in WWoHP, and dinner at Mythos. We had a pretty full day that day... I do regret not getting over to JP, but I'm glad that I got my Evac Adventure on FJ. KUKA arms look awesome, did you know? LOL
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>What four. And Camp Jurassic doesn't count<<< That's right, did that too. We got caught in the rain there. LOL. That was fun, too. And we did... FJ x2 FotH Coaster Shops in WWoHP Spidey All 3 Seuss rides, carousel included, blame Mrs. LeeHerOwnSelf. Trails at JP, but not the actual ride. And dinner in Mythos. Not bad for a first timer who REALLY enjoyed himself.

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>No Popeye?? Hulk?

And I didn't know there was a 4th. We did the Carousel, the Cat in the Hat, and the SkyWay.
