Interesting... then again, it could just be Disney's continuing effort to homogenize all merchandise so they can spend less and screw the guests over even more with the same generic everything for sale at every single gift shop across the globe...
But I certainly hope it means we get the characteres in IASW.![]()
i wouldn't put too much into it.. and i would check and see if DLR sells the same product with the same logo just with DLR instead of Magic Kingdom.
A lot of the new merchandise is co branded with both DLR and WDW
If they do add the characters, I hope they dont add that gawdy America scene, it kind of ruins the ride since its supposed ot be a trip through other countries, maybe they could add newer characters like put Perry amoung hte plataypi in the Australia room, and hide the house from Up in the Rainforest scene.
Many things - such as this - truly make me wish that i lived in California or Oregon instead of on the Eastern Seaboard...
I envy how imagineering is aloud to take some creative license and do things with both existing and new attractions at Disneyland that they never seem to get around to doing at WDW
Sure...we get a crappy version of an Indiana Jones "attraction" over here...an occasional clone like Soarin...but the difference in goals between the two domestic parks is apparent:
Simply put, WDW is for cash generation and guest number increases only....whereas the imagination of Disneyland hasn't been completely taken away yet.
It's sad, they open half parks in orlando and they increase gate prices and order new buses....they do it once in California and they put a paperbag over their heads and dump a mint worth of money into "saving face"
I know that WDW has the size and lead in number of diversions...it would be nice if they would strengthen what they build there...i would be happy if they never built any other parks as long as they didn't operate on a "status quo" type plan overall in orlando - fantasyland aside
