Good thoughts, Wizzard. But if I'm not mistaken, it seems you are supporting my point that the company is being very conservative in some of what they do. I never thought that DL's 60th celebration is very thin and only involves a new parade and fireworks, that is unfortunate. That's similar to why I wish the Uh-Oa figure in Sam's had been more built out, along with the very simple mechanical tentacle. At least we got Sam's here - it's a fun place.

Now the other side of the coin is that the company is not being very conservative in other areas --- by building a new park in China, building the Avatar land in Orlando, re-vamping Downtown Disney in Orlando, expanding DVC offerings in Orlando and re-vamping the Polynesian. These are large capital projects, and given that the Polynesian had so much added and changed, it still strikes me as odd that Sam's was built with a few things so understated and simple.

I hope we're not too off-topic here. I'm in Fort Lauderdale right now, had some nice drinks at the Mai-Kai last night. Life is pretty good, Hukin' and hollerin' through Sunday at the Hukilau.
