Just a few more things. You claim that you don't think DAK's education programs are up to par with many other zoos, but how would you know? You said yourself that you don't go to DAK for the educational experience; you go for the rides. And there's nothing wrong with that in and of itself...

There is an exhausting amount of assumptions and implications that you place upon me in your post, of which I do not appreciate. And wow, saying I'm "sort of like a rogue employee who abandons the corporate ideals and cultural identity of a corporation, solely to promote their own ideals and...

I said Blood Diamond sends it's message about as subtly as Avatar does. I didn't say they send the same message. I was responding to the fact that you seemed to disagree that films can send messages, so I used Blood Diamond to show that a movie can send a deliberate message. I suggest you...

Although movies are usually created primarily for entertainment, many are designed to send a message as well. Watch Blood Diamond; it sends it's message about as subtly as Avatar does. If you hated Driving Miss Daisy, it's a terrible movie from your point of view. For the people who like...

In McBride's defense, the number of Oscars a film has won does not make it a good movie. That's just your opinion. Just like your opinion about Avatar fitting into DAK's theming. I don't think it does. I think it would fit better at DHS due to its cinematic nature and popcorn-friendly...

I personally would rather they add original attractions instead of pulling from another licensed franchise, but that's beside the point. My issue with Avatar is the conservation theme. Having worked in the Conservation Education department, I know how dedicated DAK is to conveying positive...

I checked out those Halloween pics of yours! Ah, the memories. I do remember the rain, particularly at night. We rode the DLRR twice in a row at park closing (last ones on the train) and on the way back to the hotel, it was pouring like a tropical storm. Riding the train last is one of my...

Thanks Sherry! It's great to be a part of such an active and helpful community. It feels like I'm working at Disney again. ;) It's good to hear that usual start date for Halloweentime should be before we get there. I know nothing's for certain until it's officially announced by the Mouse...

Hello there, This is my first post on the DISboards, though I've been lurking around as a visitor for a few years. I was born in NorCal and lived there for the first 18 years of my life before moving with my wife to Florida to take part in the Professional Internship programs at DAK and...
