| The Fantasyland Expansion |
As much fun as the new experiences look like, I am unsure what TDO is doing that can even come close to the innovative nature of the Harry Potter experience over at IOA. What I do know is that Disney perhaps needs to get back to its roots of pushing the envelope. The R&D department is always working so I am unsure as to why whatever innovations they have are not being quickly incorporated into rides. Perhaps the worst example is Expedition Everest.

| The Yeti will one day shed his '70's strobe light and return to us... |
2011 is here, and the Yeti is STILL not working. Most visitors wouldn't even really notice, but to the Disney fan (but apparently not the company) it is truly embarrassing. We can only hope that this effect is fixed at some point in the near future so at the very least people can stop having to discuss it when the "declining quaility of Disney" argument comes up. This is simply one of many effects in rides that used to work but don't seem to ever be on anymore, much like the sparking collision in test track and numerous effects in Dinosaur. We all hope that someone is upstairs monitoring this one, and that Chester and Hester aren't really in charge of the rides at WDW, as the maintenance would seem to suggest in places.
On the positive, new experiences ARE coming, along with new restaurants in the World Showcase and hopefully more new experiences at the now defunct Pleasure Island area. Stay tuned for some more Disney talk, but until then, what are you looking forward to or hope will change in 2011?
