Thanks for the link!

I'm happy that they are upgrading IASW with disney characters and a USA section. Although I'll miss the "rain" area. Sounds like it's going to breath new life in to the ride.

Hmm, looks like some interesting changes. Should I hide my head in shame to say that I'm glad Muppets 3-D will be sticking around? We love that show!

Seems I read earlier there would be a new entrance to CA--can't access the article right now, will this be just a do over in the same spot or is there going to be another entrance entirely? And when do they plan to do this if it is in a different spot? Seems it would make a big difference in where someone might want to stay ;-)

 

[bumbershoot]

I've heard of a "new" entrance area, but that's it's just b/c of all the construction at the front. Nothing permanent.

Oh OK-- that's what I thought ;-) Hi Bumbershoot!

I can't get to the article.

But I'd just like to say that I LOVE that they have to refurb. it's a small world because americans are fat. HAHAHA. That just kills me.

 

[jemilah]

Still can't get it here......everyone must be reading it!
I'm fat cuz the treats at DL are so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[actionvaughn]

[VWCat]

[pumpkin5156]

In N Out Burger would be awesome. They'd make so much money....

Now that is a GREAT idea!

 

[Silly Little Pixie]

I don't really like the idea of changing IASW... I enjoy it as the original. If you want to change it up, do so at other parks...

But maybe I'll change my mind when I see it? I'm sad to see Orange Stinger go too. I love that and love that it's in a giant Orange!! Perfect homage to Orange County.
