Ignoring the other parks is probably good for you. That way you have no yard stick to see how far WDW has fallen while the other resorts continue to improve.

But, what do Star Wars and Indiana Jones (both of which I LOVE) have to do with Disney??? <<< Actually, when DL opened, not much of it except for Fantasyland were themed to Disney (ok, maybe the Davy Crockett referrences in Frontierland). And I prefered this approach. I really do HATE all the corporate synergy we have been beaten with over the last couple of decades, especially since the weatherman stepped in. Disney has always been about attention to detail, a little edutainment and a lot of show. If it fits those, I am happy.

Neither would Indy as it is now, unless you add all that crap like lights that we could see, a director's chair and cables, to make it a "set".<<< Of course it wouldn't. What I am saying, is that it needs to come with it's own immersive environment before they put it here. LIKE TOWER OF TERROR HAS. LOL. It's not like they are going to do this anyway.

I've already been to WDW this year and have DL, HKDL and TDL all on the slate before the year ends (no more Paris in 2010, alas). I hate noting how far WDW has fallen. But ... it does provide excellent fodder for fanbois who have too much pixie dust stuffed up their arses.
