Because...? You feel melly can't make her points on her own, that she has trouble expressing herself? Seems to me she's doing just fine getting her points and opinions across (in a MUCH more reasonable and mature fashion than "Animal Kingdom is a flop!"). We just happen to disagree with her.
As for five people quoting her, well, that's for simple clarity. You may not agree that quoting the portion/s of a post to which one is posting makes absolute sense and reduces or eliminates confusion... but it does.
Describing what one has in common with another poster, even one with whom one disagrees, is just that - a description. It's NOT a disclaimer.
My point was 5 people saying the same thing 5 time is redundant. At some point one of the 5 people should read the actual thread and think "Wow, I agree with the other 4, maybe I should respond to them about what I agree with".
Honestly, why was I quoted 3 times when clearly I and the other recipient were finished? I was told the same thing 3 time on three diffrent occasions. The original post is over 25 posts away. It's dead. Why feel the need to bring it back up? These people are pot stirers, and do not kid yourself. I am not going to sit back and take it. If you quote me, expect a response.
It has been proven that DAK is financially not a flop. It is also not a flop with the fans. Both are facts. You know this to be true, it's been stated more than enough in this thread, the argument of DAK being a flop is dead. The argument is with people trying to correct other people's opinions. This thread has turned into a battle of those-whose-favorite-park-is-DAK vs. everyone else. The DAK people say you don't like it because "you fail to see the little details" or "ask the CM about this".
You, kaytieeldr, do not need to reply to every post that disagrees with you with something like "did you ever ask the CM about why there are no straws" or "walk the trails, they replace the little rides". I personally have done all that and I get bored around 3. I do not enjoy the bird show, I do not like the Lion King show all that much, I am not a fan of Dinosaur, Kali, or Dinoland USA. I have don the animals, but I live next to a zoo with far more exotic animals, so I go for the rides and atmosphere. I get all I possibly can get in within 5 hours and I go. It's my least favorite of them all as it simply doesn't keep me entertained. Do not try to correct my opinion of the park. I have seen everything, and done everything. I had a seasonal pass and went many many many times. I explored the park, collected the stamps, saw the animals, discovered the hidden theaming of Dinoland, I saw Lucky the dinosaur, did the safari ride in the morning, ate and the 3 main restaurants, and now I'm bored of it.
And PS-
This is, in fact, a disclaimer. Aka, I know I just said you are wrong but allow me to justify my response.
"Obviously you are entitled to your opinion but, for me, DAK beats any of our zoos hands down because of the mix of things to do (and I agree, it is not a zoo - I like WDWSearcher's description!)."
PSS-
Why is this thread still open? It clearly has run it's course. This battle goes in circles because it's a battle of opinion. I say we accept other diffrent likes and dislikes and move on without sneer remarks.
It's understood that this is not your favorite park, but you admit to enjoying it - therefore, it's not a flop in your eyes.
). Nice not to rush from ride to ride, just kick back and have some family fun.

). I freaked out when we were directed backstage at Epcot on New Years Eve 2006! It was amazing and just as magical as the park itself to me
