Lots of AAU 's sports go thru WWoS and I am sure the set up is the same-- so with only 1 park to choose from - MK usually will win out.

24	vbdad55 Thu 12/29/2005 9:04a	I'd choose EPCOT -- but those with kids more likely than not are going to choose MK

26	Mr X Thu 12/29/2005 9:15a	>>>"I'm truly shocked that the MK has more visitors than TDL and DL. Just seems impossible." Hasn't TDL's attendance been on the decline in the past year or so?<<< You have a source for that? I'd LOVE to see it...

28	Mr X Thu 12/29/2005 9:25a	Untrue. Well, half true. The resort achieved a total attendance of 25 million customers, which is EXACTLY what OLC predicted prior to park opening. 12 million went to DisneySea. 13 million went to TDL. Compare THAT to predictions about Disneyland and DCA prior to THAT particular pathetic park opening. But yes, TDL's numbers did go "down" somewhat (AS predicted and expected by the company). But I have trouble believing they are still so (comparitively) low...the place has been packed to capacity pretty much for the last four months running...
