Maybe if Disney would stop building knock off parks in China, they would be able to invest in their U.S. parks. It is nice to see the Fantasyland remake. Although it does seem to be much like they did when Pooh was hot. It runs the risk of running the Disney Princess thing into the ground. Maybe Harry Potter in IOA will up the ante and force Disney to come up with something good in a few years to compete. A new gate would not be the answer though. Just not mismanaging what they have and coming up with something good. The Space Mountain rehab was a major let down.

Good for you, Sue. I completely agree. Animal Kingdom is my favorite park too, and I can easily spend days there. It is so beautiful.

As much as I would love to see a fifth gate, I would rather they beef up DHS and AK before begining construction. Also, they need to continue to “plus” attractions to keep more people going back on a regular basis. The more people they can get to return as repeate customers the better financial basis they will have to make more improvements.

I live in Ohio and as long as Disney continues to build/update I will be coming down. It would be awesome to see a DisneySEA park (Like in Tokyo) here in the states somewhere. It’s the best Disney park ever!

Seriously, they need to add another country or two in Epcot. Epcot is my favorite park but it’s getting stale. They need to update what they already have. I have to mention that the American Pavilion in Epcot is by far the worst of all. They need to do something with that and add a decent restaurant to it.

What has changed code-wise that would require a complete tear down of the unused Pop buildings? If they are just shells wouldn’t a retrofit be less expensive, if needed at all? I could maybe see guest rooms or a roofing change…

AK is not a wimpy park. It is my favorite park by far. I see so many people running through the oasis to get to a “ride” AK does so much to educate people about animals and how they interact wiht the rest of the world. I can spend two days at AK if I want to see all of the animals and do everything. it is so sad so many people ignore the animals and just go for the rides. AK is a beautiful park. Please stop cutting it down.

Dear God don’t tell me they have those brain eating Amoebas in Florida too! I thought they all lived in DC.

I agree that there needs to be a 5th park to capture the teen/thrill (Universal and Busch Garden) crowd. But of course it needs to be family oriented to maintain the Disney tradition. So I’m thinking something along the lines of a Villain themed with roller coasters and thrill rides to compete. It makes perfect since each Disney movie contains those scary moments.

I totally agree about the World Showcase. It would be great to get some new countried in there, but would the original rules still apply, that the country that wants to be represented in WS would have to help fund the constuction of it? Does anyone know?
