1	Roger55 Mon 10/1/2007 1:35p	Finally made it here to DLRP. My visit to all the Disney Parks is now complete! Just had a quick four hours today to check out DLP. I'll have the next three days to check out even more. Did a circle around the park. I have to say, visually, there are things that are beautiful. The castle and Phantom Manor are excellent. The dragon beneath the castle was awesome. Watched the day parade and the castle lighting shows. Parade was nice, maybe a B+. Castle candle lighting show was just OK. I give it a C. The biggest disappointment was the cleanliness of the park. It is really filthy compared to what I am used to. Why is this I wonder? Even WDW looks better, and I think WDW really needs improvement. Well, time to hit the sack. EMH tomorrow morning. More later.

Headed over to the studios for the rest of the day. Really disappointed in all the construction, but I think I'd better get used to it for my home park DCA. Must have really been a mess before Cars and Crush opened. RNRC was what I expected. Armageddon bored me, but Im glad I saw it seeing that it most likely won't be duplicated anywhere else. Crush was a nice little coaster but the Nemo effct was stuck in a 2 second continuous loop. Can't believe they let it run like that. Bad show. Expected a little more from Crush, but I still liked it. Animagique and Cinemagique were fun. Parade was OK. I probably have to reuse myself from comments because I am just too spoiled and biased from expriencing TDL's entertainment. Did the animation building which was nothing unique. Skipped Backlot Tour and Moteurs Action because it just seemed like the same offerings from D-MGM. Did all attractions and shows I wanted to, was able to take all my pics, and still had time left to shop. Small park indeed. Tomorrow I'll head back to DLP. Have a lot more I want to do there.

If you get the chance, be sure to check out Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. It really is a gem, and one of my favorite attractions by Disney anywhere. As for the parades and live entertainment, I agree DLP is behind DL and from what I hear TDL. Shame Tarzan is no longer on though - that's my favorite live show at any Disney park. Be sure to check out the Lion King show too. IMHO it beats anything in WDW and is on par with DCA's Aladdin.

7	Mr X Fri 10/5/2007 3:17a	So, how would you rate the resorts cleanliness in comparison to Tokyo Disneyland? Glad you're having fun! :D It's MY last resort to visit too, and I really hope to get there someday!

NEMO was better than the Broadway TARZAN - no joke.<< I have, but I felt it is weaker than the man stage shows at DLP and Aladdin. But maybe that's me. Nemo is good, boarderline great, but still it takes the bronze in my books. But then again I prefer Tarzan's story and movie to Finding Nemo. I also love the mesh of languages in DLP's Tarzan.
9	davewasbaloo Fri 10/5/2007 3:52a	And again, I prefer the LK for the same reasons. Ok, maybe LK and Nemo are on par, but personally I get more emotional over the LK.
10	davewasbaloo Fri 10/5/2007 3:54a	Mr X - if you do ever make it to DLP, I will try to give you the tour of your life. Ask Lulu, UKFAN or Smedley if the tour is any good ;-)
