Why isn't any capex going to the Animal Kingdom, a park that doesn't even have enough attractions to let it's signature rollercoaster go down to fix the plethora of broken effects? Or Hollywood Studios? What about fixing Imagination or refurbishing Universe of Energy? Finally, who spearheaded the Fantasyland Expansion project? In late 2008, it was widely reported that all P&R projects were frozen indefinitely, with no new attractions coming to WDW anytime in the near future. So why did the FLE get the greenlight?
