Re: Tinker Bell and friends attraction coming to WDW

I haven't decided if I like them yet or not . . . I keep staring at the picture. I AGREE they did good casting!

I thought this part in the article was interesting:

Many think that Disney's lack of any major attractions is odd du e to the fact that Universal Studios is doing such a large scale expansion with the new Harry Potter area of the park being built. Not so, says, John Gerner, a theme-park industry analyst with Leisure Business Advisers of Virginia. "As a strategy, one thing you don't necessarily try to do is expand the same year your competition does. It doesn't tend to serve either player. The fact that Universal is putting in the big Potter area may have Disney saying, 'Let's pause and see what happens, and then we'll follow up.'

*twitch*

Well...

...

This is going to be the new Stitch/Pirate/Princess thing, isn't it?

(waits for the over-merchandising wave of overkill to hit)

David
still can't quite wrap his head around Tinkerbell talking in the first place, but it's probably not going to hurt anyone and the kids will probably like it, so he really can't complain per se

I'm not sure how I feel yet about the fairies or Tinkerbell talking, but if guests enjoy it then I'm sure it is a good thing.
I feel like the Universal expansion is a reaction to Disney's success of the past few years. Even with Universal's expansion Disney still has a lot more to offer their guests.

You know what? I'm actually helping all 5 of them at the same time. When you stack them on top of each other, I'm my actual height. Tink is actually my right leg.

Re: Tinker Bell and friends attraction coming to WDW

I'm not a fan of talking fairies! I think they should just giggle quietly. No talking please!
