Definitely agree with this.

We adore Animal Kingdom, and something like this would be a FANTASTIC addition to AK...even with a hefty price tag. But I just don't see this as a standalone park. It fits better as a non-park attraction, as an expensive "experience" if you will.

I could never bring my whole family to that for an evening. Way too expensive! That is almost the same as a week pass at Disney. As neat as it would be, I just couldnt' justify the cost.

Caseys Corner · 02-22-2008

I'll give it a run.

**WishUponAStar** · 02-22-2008

I'd probably do it alone & hope to make a friend for the evening b/c Daniel doesn't do very well with 'creatures' after dark.

Just ask him about scorpian hunting with black lights in the Mohave desert at night.

I'll try anything Disney once, but like I said, I'd probably have to venture alone.... for cost & spouse refusal purposes.

Jim hill, while normally sorta right, has been wrong a lot lately. It was he who announced the Nightmare before christmas party to happen last year and MGM...never happended. That is just one of many rumors or tales I have seen from him. I do not believe that WDW will have a much anticipated 5th park only available to 2000 guests at a time...nor do I believe that they would staff it with 4000 cast members....the waste in potential profits and payroll doesn't speak disney to me. Disney, while it is my favorite place to visit, is about making mass amounts of money...this isn't their style at all.

This is exactly what I was going to say, but I was afraid I might get a few people mad at me.

The economics of this project make no sense for Disney whatsoever...there is not nearly enough profit potential.

Of course we wouldn't get mad at you!

That's what polls are for... opinions!

Disney is not stupid...they are not into "exclusive" parks where income will be limited per day...this is an insane project and it cannot be true. If it is, I think I will lose just a small amount of respect for them on a business level. You have admire their business style and ability to suck every possible dollar they can from you..lol I do any way.

Agreed...I certainly admire Disney's business style! They have an uncanny knack for sucking people dry, but doing it with a smile of course!

Thanks!

I hear things in my head and think they sound too blunt, so I don't say them...though I'm sure they wouldn't come across as bad as I think they would!

timsha · 02-23-2008

This rumor is hard to believe. Disney does need a 5th park, but a park that would have that limited number of guests is not realistic. The cost would also keep guests away.

dixie · 02-23-2008

Its a great concept for those who are interested in that sort of thing, but I can't honestly see us going to anything like that is just not us.

boucher0911 · 02-23-2008

Add me to the list of people who would never be able to afford a venture like this. I think they could certainly spend their money much more wisely!

Goofballorama · 02-23-2008

I really don't know. I thinks it sounds cool, but it's so diffrent.

gabes_mommy · 02-23-2008

I just don't see this being a huge money maker. Its cost will prevent most average families from taking part.

That being said, if it does happen I'm sure I would want to go at least once, just because curiosity killed the cat you know....
