Yes, it seems like everything is becoming one-dimensional. What with dumping real entertainment in favor of character meet & greets, or plywood cutouts to take photos in.
Soon, the whole Disney experience will boil down to taking a picture with a character for $50 and calling it a day. No more Pirates, or Haunted Mansion either. No, instead, let's take our picture next to this great looking old spooky house, and oh look, here's someone dressed up as a ghost. Wow, what a great park this is, I can't believe we used to think rides were cool! Man, they should charge me $100 for the experience I'm getting here!
Sorry to be so cynical, but it's late; I'm tired, and I just see a disturbing trend at the parks to cut back on the real entertainment in favor of crap. I mean, the kiddies can already meet Buzz & the gang over at MGM Studios, and they are sometimes in Mickey's Toontown Fair too, so why another location? I know they're popular, but what happened to the variety?
Oh well...
