So Disney is in it to make money. That's not news to anyone here, and there's nothing at all profound about recognizing the fact. The underlying message though, is that "it's all about the money, so it doesn't matter what you think". Disney wouldn't know synergy if it bit 'em in the...

Okay, I'll bite. Why? Was it the "celeberate the money" thing? 'cause I really, really don't get that. Why people want to justify, even celerate, flushing their money down the toilet so a chosen few can get even wealthier, is absolutely beyond me. But then again, I've learned not to always...

I'm sorry, but you simply must be mistaken. MouseMerf said so. :rolleyes: G7

It's really not important. None of this is. G7

Forgive me for being blunt (and I know blunt will be read as rude, so everyone, go ahead and have a field day with this)--if you can't be bothered with reading my posts, please don't bother me with stupid questions. I already addressed the line issue. Go back and read. G7

Well, if you say so, then it must be true. :rolleyes: And I'm sure that adding the Three Cabs is going to make it every bit the blockbuster that pimping Figment made Journey Into Your Imagination With Figment. And it's all happening because that's what the guests want and Disney knows it. And...

This is rather like saying, "I'm an average movie patron, and I didn't like this movie, so it's no good". There are occasions of almost universal consensus. Gigli received such an overwhelming consensus against it, that I didn't bother. Ditto for SuperStar Limo. But thankfully, most movies and...

While we're at it, why don't we label ourselves by race, age, occupation, marital status, country and/or state of origin, height, weight, sexual orientation, and so on--that way, anyone reading our posts can know "exactly who we are". Except, it doesn't work like that. We're all more than a...

I guess not all of us are that cynical about it. So if the "hottub bar" was offensive to you, how do you feel about the beer ODV in front of Imag? That sent me over the edge. I thought that was a new low for Disney. G7

For me, it represents not only original EPCOT Center, but a piece of the Magic Kingdom that I loved as well--If You Had Wings. The films may be cheesy to many, but they're one of my favorite parts of the ride. I suspect that some were even lifted directly from IYHW. Beyond that, I think the ride...

Why? Has Disney become any less "demanding" of us? Of course not. They charge ever-higher prices for a product of ever dwindling quality. Why should we accept that? I despise the "entitlment mentality" that pervades our society now, but this isn't it--this is expecting an honest value for our...

I couldn't agree more. And it seriously affects repeatability of rides. If I "get it" all the first time around, there's little reason to go back. G7

How would they convey this better though? Especially to a public who probably doesn't know squat about Mexican history. I've already learned things in this thread that I never knew. I think they have to make some compromises, and gloss over some things. As to it being a "big plot point"...

My favorite thing to do is to take a slow, lesiurely stroll through World Showcase after Illuminations. I find that I get out about as quickly as I would have otherwise, with far less stress, and I enjoy the scenery along the way. G7

That is true of many Disney attractions. The backstory is usually far more complex than can be conveyed in a short attraction. Did you know, for example, that Universe of Energy's diorama covers a span of 300 million years? I didn't, until I researched it. Or even the far more obvious purpose of...
