I am sad to see this end. I haven't been on the Matterhorn since I was a teenager. Out of curiosity what did you find uncomfortable about it? Mickey's Funwheel is a creepy ride, especially if you are in the moving cages, but you just can't beat the view.
I am not a huge fan of the churros but that is obviously what sells. I have managed to stay away from the pizza so far and I plan on continuing in that fashion. I am not sure I would eat more popcorn if there was more places to buy it.
You know the first time I visited DCA I wasn't a big fan, and was confused on how little there is to do there. But, then the next time I went it grew on me a little. Then this last trip I fell in love with it. We spent the entire day there and did everything, well within reason. We visited all the little nooks and crannies and saw things we had never seen before. I do think it needs to get all the new things and the changes made. That is what makes the Disney parks better, they are always changing.
I had a great time "going" on your trip with you.
