If you've been to Walt Disney Studios Paris, you'd love DCA too! :wink:

ooooo I've heard bad things about Walt Disney Studios Paris. :shudders:

How do you guys think HKDL will turn out? I'm concerned they may not have enough attractions.

My department seems to be one of the only departments that has it's castmembers work in both parks. When people are in DCA all they ask are questions about Disneyland or just how to get out of DCA. Seriously. It's sad.

Alas what can you do but keep correcting the guests.
Actually, most people don't know this, but Walt Disney was actually cremated and is sitting on one of his family member's mantle, I don't know who though.

Actaully I do know that. But the rolling in his grave has a nice ring.

I remember when people insisted that Walt Disney's head was frozen.
I wonder who made that story up..

Walt did look into cryogenic suspension toward the end of his life. After discovering that nobody had ever been thawed out, and that it might not work at all after all the expense, he abandoned his interest.

Those with an unnatural lust for conspiracy theories -- plus those of us who just really *really* want it to be true even though we know it isn't -- then concocted the story, perhaps as a joke, and it took on a life of its own.

So, some of the people who think Walt's frozen aren't entirely crazy. Just the ones who still think so after reading the family's web site.

I can't really judge because I don't know what exactly is going into the park, but I'll tell you that the quantity of attractions probably wouldn't matter much to the people who would be visiting it. I'm not entirely sure and I don't want to sound racist or anything, but it's some sort of a cultural thing, that Chinese people are more into the scenery... so just a few E-ticket rides ought to do the trick.


Um... whose baby is this? :stork:

See Snopes.

That's what I thought. Found a page with a picture of the site.
