>>>If not for the classics, I might put DCA above the MK, but I can't go that far.<<<

For me, I would rather go to DCA than the MK. And although I love Legoland, it is not a Disney Park (I've been to all the Legolands around the globe, and have been a cast member in Windsor - it is a fun day, but DCA is head an shoulders above it). And Knott's used to be good, but no longer.

The posted claiming DCA is worse than KBF and LL is clearly very biased. It is all subjective, but to my tastes, I will take this poster's view on parks and attractions with a pinch of salt as we very different views.

Well, I prefer DCA's version to DHS. I really do. In almost every way. See subjective. And you guys that rip DCS are spoilt brats. European theme parks are nothing compaired to Disney, Universal or Busch parks. It really makes us appreciate DCA (my wife's fav park - and she has been to 8 Disney parks, and about 29 others around the globe).

>>WHy does person keep on calling me a female?<<

I think it's all part of the hilarious 'troll' job description - make the most outlandish claims possible and fight like you really believe them. Eg, "The Little Mermaid is better than Aladdin!" and "William is a GIRL!" I, personally, wonder how these people have so much time on their hands but that's just me ...

>>>And, FWIW, as a Floridian I firmly believe that on 9 attractions out of 10 that are in both US resorts, DL's versions are usually equal or superior.<<<

Agreed. Hence why we are more likely to travel 6000 miles to DL than 3000 miles to WDW. As much as I like Epcot and DAK, the draw of DLR's quality is a preference. But I am no DCA apologist. THere are many things that require improvement in DCA, but ToT comparisons to me feel like comparing The Mad Tea Party in the MK with the Teacups at DL. Both offer very similar theming and experiences. Some prefer the open air lanterns, some perfer the canapy.

>>>A puppet show on the scale of Ave Q, a broadway show that sells out nightly. Aladdin is a lame attempt at a broadway show that scored a C grade in Entertainment Weekly!<<<

Shows different strokes. I have grown up in theatre, having been the son of a pro, and I have been in the National Youth Theatre. To me, almost all the stage shows in WDW come off as kiddy, amature, High School productions (except Nemo, which is not fully to my taste, but it pro). Having seen all the shows in WDW, DL, and DLP over a few decades, to me, Aladdin is the finest stage production Disney has done. It may not be to your taste, but to me it is top drawer (hard to say considering DLP's Lion King has many of the London West End stars performing in it).

>>Wow, such an untruth! Pirtates NEVER, in the history of Pirates, had a line that lasted HOURS. Even when Pirtates reopened with Jonny Depp, the line was 45 minutes, max. The line looked big, spilling out into New Orleans square. However, at 2900 guests per hour, the Pirates line gobble people up quick. Please try not to spread untruths unless you really know what u r talking about. Thanks!<<

I just had to reply to this because you are taking such and "I am right and you are wrong" attitude.. I can list three times when I have been in the POTC line in DL for more than 45 minutes.. In 1982 during the Japanese Festival, I stood in line with my dad for 1 hour and 5 minutes, and twice during the first week of the Fiftieth anniversary we stood in line for an hour to ride Pirates. And I will happily do it again because it is my favorite ride in the park.

>>Not according to Entertainment Weekly. Grade C.<<
And yes Entertainment Weekly is the Gospel according to what's good and what isn't in life...

You claim that Star tours still pulls in an incredible amount of riders, yet last month there on April 1 and 2, there was NO WAIT and CMs were outside doing carnival calls to try and convince people to ride it, whereas the wait for Soarin' was over an hour...

Actually backpaintsm, I will let you know a few things before I am through with you.

WDW - 6 weeks of experience.
DL - 300+ visits
DLP - 49 visits.

I have been to 68 parks around the globe in the US, Canada, Mexico, all over Europe, Dubai and the far east. I am entitled to my opinion as much as yours. It's all subjective anyway.

I am too busy to waste my time with such bulligerent responses. Adieu
