My kids love to play over there too. But I think you misunderstood the plan. The article says they want to make over the island into a "pirate playground". I still believe the island is going to be a place for kids to run around, play, and explore (with a pirate theme instead), and there's a planned interactive pirate museum in the place of Fort Wilderness as well.MATTERHORN said:Adding to myself here, just wanted to say this was not to be mean. It would be great if they could redesign it without going totally electronic. But I don't see that happening because all they see is $$$$. Just a quick question for those that said their kids don't like it there because they don't know the theming? What about going to a regular park at home? Will your kids not play because it's not "themed"? Just curious, because I don't see why it matters about who's name is on the island. It's just good old fashioned playtime over there, without anything that's plugged in. It's too bad people can't appreciate that anymore!
Afterall, if they want it to be ready by May 2007, they can't change it too much. So a play area it will stay (if I'm understanding the article correctly).
