assistant: It always was a fantasy view of the future. Walt intended to show what
could be done, but really it was never designed to say "this is how the
real future will be". I miss the old TL, but I expect the new one will
be great. DL is constantly changing. I miss the old attractions terribly
and love the new ones tremendously. Changes also helps us to keep coming
back time and time again.
The Imagineers were brilliant with DL. They designed it so that you
really can leave the outside world behind. From the moment you walk
through the front gate you are surrounded by DISNEY. It is everywhere.
There are characters and buildings and parades, rides and shows. You
forget that you are right smack dab in the middle of an major American
city. Instead, you have been whisked off to a new land - a Disney land.
They keep the charm by making sure nothing from the outside world is
visible from inside the park. Everything your senses picks up is a
Disney delight. The music, the smells, the sounds, the atmosphere, the
wonderment - the whole thing.
When I am at other parks I am sometimes entertained or ocassionally even
delighted (I am a HUGE roller coaster nut), but I don't leave the world
behind. When I visit Disney, I forget all else. I am a kid again, no
morgate, no worries no messes, no spills.

I just hope that the Hunchback isn't a disappointment, because I was

wasn't a great as they thought it to be.

Write your reply.

assistant: I don't blame you on going 3 or 4 times a year, if I lived that close
(an hour and a half) I would probably go alot more, like 2 or 3 times a
month, I don't think that I could get sick of the place, it always to me
a different experience.  I know I go nuts with the shopping, when I go,
I couldn't even imagine my home if I was there all the time, I could
probably open my own shop.
Don't get me wrong Blizzard Beach, is a neat place, nice theme, but I am
just attracted to Typhoon Lagoon.  Probably because it's more of a
tropical paradise, with all the exotic plants, and the lazy river is
sort of romantic.  I like the pool, you can swim in that has the fish
and sharks in it, you just snorkel across the top, but it is still a
great experience.  I think that reason I didn't care for Blizzard Beach,
it because it's has a snowy theme, and I live in Michigan, and we see to
much snow.  So when you go on vacation to get away from snow, you
definetly don't want to see it, even if it is fake.  But if I was you
check it out it is a nice water park.

Write your reply.

assistant: I am sure it will be top notch everything, because it will be only the
best if it's to have Disney's name on it.  I can't wait to check it out
myself.  We don't have children yet, but I told my husband that they
will definetly go to Disney a few times in their childhood.  I love to
go myself, I feel just like a little kid myself, I dance and sing, it's
just so much fun.  We have talk about moving to Florida, do you
recommend it?  I would love to live right by Disney, boy would I be in
my glory!  The best thing that we have up here is Cedar Point in Ohio,
so that would be great to live by Disney.
The first time we went there was in '92 and we just stumbled upon it,
and we had dinner, it was excellent, the service and the food was great.
 I agree with you that the service has alot to do with the meal, if the
service is bad but the food was good, you still would probably not go
back, but in Disney the service is always top notch, it's just like they
say, "Be our guest", and they treat you like a guest with royalty.  So
when we went back in '95, we took my husband's family with us, and
everyone loved their meal, and the service's was great as usual.
My husband and I have been married for 3 years, known each other for 7
years, and we have been to Disney 3 times together, so I think that is
like tradition, to go every 2 to 4 years for sure.
