Could you flip flop more. You love Hollywood studio's and hate DCA because of the adult theme rides and horrible layout. Although in your same post you do tell us the Hollywood studio's has a horrible layout. Correct me by posting all the kid friendly rides that Hollywood studio's have that can not be found in the dreadfully hated CA.
LOL,
Definitely didn't say anything about loving MGM Studios. I guess when you put words into other people's mouths it's easy to come up with the assertion they are flip flopping.
I clearly said that MGM studios was "never an exciting theme... I understood why they built it... for park physical layout and flow, it is probably the worst... Frankly I feel it is the park that could have used a refurbishment the most."
I merely asserted that overall CA was worse and more anti Disney (he would be rolling over in his grave).
While MGM (Disney Studios) suffers from a lot of problems, CA suffers from nearly all the same plus more. DS=Lack of attractions, bad layout, less kid orientated
DCA=DS+even more adult orientated (IMO), local theming, lack of Disney theming.
Disney did not like boardwalk amusement parks, so what do they do? Build DCA with a boardwalk theme. Early Disney execs made sure not to use local theming, so what do they do? Build DCA with all local theming. Those are huge mistakes over DS, no if and or buts.

You love AK. It puts all animal parks to shame. I must suggest you get out and check out other animal parks. I am not talking about going to you local zoo either. Maybe go to San Diego and check out the animal parks they have there. I have been on an african safari (in africa) and wow this might come as a shock to you but we didn't go looking for poachers. Guess what we were looking for. (animals)
I guess you are referring to San Diego Wild Animal Park? It is pretty cool and if you combined it with the San Diego Zoo I would say it is a better animal experience than DAK. Unfortunately, you would have to add a third park (six flags or something) to top the AK's thrill rides. So to best DAK you would have to visit three different parks. I think that is a pretty impressive accomplishment by Disney. Yes I wish they didn't open AK short two lands and really think they shouldn't have opened it at all until they had at least Asia finished.
I really have no idea what a real African safari has to do with anything in his conversation? On all the above mentioned domestic attractions you will probably see a wider variety of animals and probably most of them up closer without the shots.

Don't get me wrong I do prefer to go to WDW instead of Disneyland resort but, that is only because they do offer more parks with more rides and wonderful deals that CA doesn't offer.
We plan on returning to Disneyland resort as soon as the construction of the new land is done.
I think Walt Disney and his family have done well with there money. Bet they are laughing all the way to the bank. How about you?
I'm guessing that they aren't laughing all the way to the bank considering that DCA has been operating at a loss since it opened (Hence the emergency remodel so soon after it opened). I'm sure they are very upset that they have to spend a billion dollars to fix such a huge blunder. I don't have to spend a billion dollars to fix any of my mistakes so I'm doing pretty well actually, thanks.
Frankly I would have been more confident if you were to take any Disney whako (affectionately meant) from this site that they could have come up with a park theme that would have easily outperformed DCA.
