Very much in the minority, as always,

They were pristine when I saw them in December. Only thing that bugged me were the adults & children who thought the rope was there for fun & they could crawl all over the statues to their hearts' content. HEATHENS! |

Tue 8/24/2004 9:33a | No .. Simply an issue of opinion.
I thought they were kind of pointless and another PR gimmick in a long line of PR gimmicks to help disguise the true problems lying with in Disney's divisions. I don't really care for these temporary gimmicks, and thought they clashed with the imagineered view of the Train Station.
I wonder how much the entire program cost, in manpower and money. I'd much rather see even the marginal cost be applied towards an animated project or theme park maintenance. Something with meat (or vegetarian equivalent). I'm sick of the finger snacks. |

Tue 8/24/2004 10:40a | Mike, I'd agree with you, but as the Mickeys were designed purely as a charity event, I loved them. I can't wait for the DLR auction and hope to be able to make a bid or two on my favourites!
As with the view, I guess they wanted them to be at the Magic Kingdom, but didn't want people to have to have admission to see them. |

Tue 8/24/2004 10:55a | Very good point Lee .. I had forgotten the chairity angle.
I know they were very popular, and I'm not trying to make anyone feel worse in the slightest for enjoying them.
It's just not the, "Walk I walk" |
