On the west coast, they keep updating stuff to the new movies and characters (Nemo, Toy Story, etc.) so pretty soon all of Disneyland will look like the Disney channel. And California Adventure? In California? Come on. Only good thing about that place is you can get a beer. Ah well, time marches on. My six year old grandkid is not interested the original enchanted tiki room or the carousel of progress. He did like Pirates and the Haunted Mansion, though, so I guess there's hope for the new generation.
