Pllllleeeeaaaassseeee do NOT give anyone any ideas!!! No Pixar-go-round!!!! :shock:

As far as the discussion about TDA/TDO budgets goes, I have to (unfortunately) agree with MadEye/NaCler. I say unfortunately because even though we had APs and went to the parks several times a year, we enjoyed what was already there. We are annoyed because things keep changing to "please the locals" (no offense SoCal locals). *sigh* Oh well, c'est la vie.

Besides, TDA dosen't have as much real estate to work with either...eventually all the parking lots will be remote because they've all become park expansions. :roll:

NO!! I totally disagree!! There have been to many bad changes to WDW to mention here. If you look there are threads on Subsonic dedicated to all the bad changes!

I'd have to agree with Jacca here, not all changes are good. WDW had def. made some bad decisions in the past!

Bring back some kind of boat ride in the place where the Swan ride used to be. It just looks so empty down there when you pass it!

I'm a big resister to change, I think things to stay the same, but if I had to choose something it would be to an aisleway of some sort during parades for people who just want to walk by. I've seen it almost dangerous trying to get out amongst the strollers and people sitting on the sidewalk. Yes, I know parades are awesome and everyone loves them, but what if you're not feeling well and want to leave?

One thing I hope they never, ever, never change is the bann on beer in MK. I like having a park which is family friendly and drunk free :)

A parade path is a great idea! More realistic then most of the ideas we offer up.

Can't happen. The water way does not make a full loop around like it did in the old days.

I have to say I was shocked when I saw Disney parks selling alcohol, with the exception of WS of course. I would be o.k. with them never selling beer in MK too.

I just bring my own to the MK. I also won't want them to sell beer there!

Yeah, I can't tell you how strange it was to be standing in the middle of Fantasyland with a bar to my left...right in front of Monstro the whale! This was at the D23 first anniversary party in March, and stupid me...we were so busy running around to snap pics of the characters that we didn't snap a pic of the bar...nor did we indulge (it would have felt wrong somehow)

Bring the trees back into the center hub!!!

Stop building things like the "Tomorrowland Stitch Stage". Not a good investment.

Tomorrowland could use a rehab, and get back to the future theme with less of the character tie in, but I think they should completely change the race cars and make them more like the Hong Kong race cars. Also make the track more interesting, right now it's just kind of a misshapen figure 8

What is it about the HK race cars that is appealing leblanan?
