WoM by a long shot. TT is creative and interesting on its own but should never have replaced WoM. They had the space and would have been better off keeping WoM and adding TT as another Future World attraction... And I believe the core building is the same, WoM just used the space a lot better than T...

Man - add pandas and you'd have an instant hit. And if any place could pull off both the politcal connections and the world-class home for them it is the folks at AK. That would really make the Asia area even more stellar. The DC Zoo has reported solid crowds with their new panda habitat and of cour...

Man - seems like they just walked away. After the first year it just stopped working from what I have ever seen. Making into a showpiece like the Fountain of Nations in Epcot would be cool but that takes money and effort. Dr - if you get video that would be interesting to see how much of it still wo...

Has to be the theme work and the ability to keep you entertained while you wait. Muppets, Star Tours, ToT, Test Track, Everest, etc. are great examples. They make it so you don't really realize just how long you've been there and that's important on a lot of front. Covered/indoor lines also help for...

Hah - good one! Have to wonder how long it will take to make that part fade away. And a time lapse video of the return to the true SSE would be pretty neat to watch...

Ok - so would anyone else have found it amusing if they would have creatively pulled out the P-C-T and left the rest for a bit? The things you come up with at work, that's why they don't let me work with cranes obviously.

Truth is, Disney thinks we have 30 second attention spans Man - that is so true. You just don't see them building the old rides - 15 min. WoM replaced by 5 min. Test Track etc. Sigh... And seriously - Epcot has more than enough "corp. function" space right now. Give us an attraction or tw...

Cheap as I am I still like eating in the parks. The theming is great at a lot of the food joints.... However, don't waste time in the mornings on breakfast - that's when the lines are the shortest! I bring a box of cereal in the luggage and eat it at the hotel first and hit the parks when the open u...
