Yes, IASW - the land of evil, smiling, dolls (can anyone find the end of that song - I've been trying for years) will close from June 7, 2004 through to March 18, 2005. I found this on Mouseplanet.com which also states that there will be upgrades to the lighting, audio, and electrical systems, rehabs to sets and Audio-Animatronic figures, asbestos abatement, roof repair, regular water maintenance (draining and refilling), and the possible addition of a new scene.
A new scene!!! More evil smiling dolls!!! NO!!!
but getting back to the article, what upsets me is that the Disney people keep refering to this 90% approval rating like it is a mantra. What they should be striving for is to please those 10% who found something upsetting, or those of us who have been loyal D-fans for decades who are upset about the direction our beloved MK is taking. I was an MK baby, and she is only 2 years younger than me. I made my first visit one month after the park opened, and to me the MK is Disney, the other parks don't mean as much. I feel like I am coming home when I go there. She is like an old friend to me. I was 13 before Disney opened EPCOT, so the only park I had to play in, and to spend my growing up years in was the MK, and pardon me if I want to see the powers that be at Disney looking at her through eyes as critical as Uncle Walt would have, because I really don't think that he would be happy with the condition she's in or the direction she's headed, so I think somebody needs to rethink the idea of opening up a new park and concentrating some time and attention on the one that started it all.
Just my opinion!!
