Tue 8/16/2005 1:16p | <<< It also bugs me that the signage says Disneyland instead of Hong Kong Disneyland. >>>
Most signs DO say HKDL, but the HK part is a smaller font. |

Tue 8/16/2005 1:45p | "There are a lot of difference though and there are many things that were in the original blueprints that didn't make it into Anaheim (for cost or time or both) and have appeared at HKDL."
Can you elaborate on that any? What has been added from the blueprints? I'm curious.
About the "Disneyland" signs, I don't really mind that so much, since it's in the park. At least the train station says "Hong Kong Disneyland Railroad"...and it's also red instead of white. |

Tue 8/16/2005 1:59p | I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the pics with the hillside as a backdrop to the castle. Strange yet beautiful. Fabulous pictures!
This is my favorite...

Tue 8/16/2005 2:28p | "It would be a bit odd for the sign above City Hall on Main Street USA to read Hong Kong Disneyland, now wouldn't it?"
No, why? Doesn't most of the Euro Disney signage in that Magic Kindom say Disneyland Paris? |

Tue 8/16/2005 3:12p | ^^^ Nope, only outside. Most of it is referred to as DL. And indeed many Europeans don't even know the real DL exists. Many only think there's Fla and Paris. |

Wow, sad those ignorant, backward, geography illiterate Europeans who don't even know there's another Disneyland. Sad. And they are always giving us stupid Americans a hard time just because we don't realize Europe isn't just one country ;D.
Seriously, WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT??? |

Wed 8/17/2005 4:29a | Absolutely. The Disney empire is an essential entity in the arena of international affairs. Look at Kruschev's trantrum that impacted on the Cold War, all because he couldn't go to DL.
The amount of times I hear - "Dave, why do you waste your time with DLP, why don't you go to the real one in America?"
WhenI teasingly ask them which one they recommend, they look at me funny and say, the only one, in Fla.
Heaven's forbid if I mention TDL or TDS - they look at me like I'm insane. |
