BTW - how were the fireworks compared to normal? |

Fri 3/28/2008 4:04p | Regarding Buffets it looks like DLRP are trying to cater to people who pre book these Half Board Meal Plans. I certainly don't have a problem with the Resort having Buffet restuarants but too many is not a good thing.
I'm not to sure when it comes to Karl Holz and his Management style. He has from what I have seen made some good decisions over the last few years. I kind of feel for the guy as he's also in a difficult job and under big presure to turn fortunes around. The resorts understanding is that Buffets probarely safe them on money and thats why there are in favour of them more.
Thanks for taking the time to read |

Fri 3/28/2008 4:14p | thanks for that. The one thing that I really get bumbed out with DLP is the firework situation. Damn local politicians!!!
Good stuff. |

Tower and Stitch Live! officially opens next Saturday so I'm out there with work. Sadly only a handful of days and then back to Tokyo for Jubilation! I really can't wait to see how it turned out. |

I look forward to hearing more. Please be sure to report on the event Lee. |

Sat 3/29/2008 6:23a | I thought you and I would be on the same page. I agree. I actually think exteriorly the DCA version is more accurate, the scale of the boiler room is amazing too. I think the 3rd dimension room at WDW is ok in theory, and the first time is quite a surprise, but does not wear well. The DCA version however has great visual effects. I really do love the mirror!!! The view is amazing too compared to DHS (and it looks like WDSP will have a great view too). And the fact you are in the same shaft means everything can be quite a surprise (whereas in Fla, you know when the drop is coming). Then people complain about boarding and disembarking from the same place, but again, that is more realistic for a service elevator.
So overall, I think the DCA/WDSP is a better version than WDW (but I know our view is in the minority - hey, what's new!). The only thing I miss from the Fla version is the lights on the doors when they open, but that could be added later if WDI wanted.
I was really impressed with the DCA TOT! |

Have fun at the Resort next Weekend Tower of Terror is a big hit so far in Paris and I made a note to concentrate on other people's reactions when riding this attraction. Also heard a lot of positive feedback on Stitch so far. These two new attractions and of course the Toon Studios attractions have really had a positive impact on crowds. I'm just a bit concern now the Studios isn't going to be able to handle the larger crowds that will come because of this, already heard a few complaints about the lack of Restuarants. |
