Now the MK does have that AA parot strategically placed to lure us in(nice job!) but I feel DL's front is more elaborate As for the queue you're right.... MK's version hands down.

Have them out all the time. Get back to specialized merchandise in the different Lands. Get back to the Disney roots. Pay attention to the little things. The rehabs should take care of the rest.
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I prefer Cinderella's Castle to Sleeping Beauty's, although it pains me to say it because I do still love the DL Castle.

I also really like Mickey's Philharmagic.
Originally Posted By Moderation This topic seems a little myopic to me. Of course there are better things about MK than DL, though by far I prefer DL.

There are also things I hate at MK, and even a few that I hate at DL, but that's for another day.
Originally Posted By plpeters70 I spent a few days at DL recently, and one of the things that I really missed from the MK was the TTA. A few times I had time to kill before my Space Mountain FastPass was ready, and I remember thinking, "Gosh, if only they still had a People Mover here so I could ride something while I wait for SM". Tony Baxter should really get going on replacing the People Mover at DL!!

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it seems like you're saying that Canadians shouldn't move to the US or something like that.
