What do you think about Disney expanding Fantasy Land in Disney World?

Disney is expanding Fantasy Land in Disney World and I saw the new plans. I think they are ruining Disney's origanal dream and idea.What do you think about Disney expanding Fantasy Land in Disney World?
Disney's original dream and idea was to build Disneyland. He achieved that dream when Disneyland opened in 1955.



The brunt of the Fantasyland expansion requires the removal of ToonTown. Since ToonTown was not an original "land" at the Magic Kingdom there is nothing original to ruin. Mickey's ToonTown Fair opened in 1996... the Magic Kingdom opened in 1971. Prior to Mickey's ToonTown Fair was Mickey's Birthdayland, but that opened in 1988... still way after the park's original opening.What do you think about Disney expanding Fantasy Land in Disney World?
Why not expand it? Disney cartoons, movies and TV shows these days are nothing like the originals. They are modified to fit new generations of Disney fans. Why not do the same for Disney World? It's not your momma's Disney World anymore. All the other theme parks in Orlando are making modifications and additions, why not Disney World? I think it's important to keep up with the times, to have a more modern Disney World that symbolizes the Disney of today, while still keeping an element of classical Disney, which of course they are still going to do. It's not like they're bulldozing Cinderella's castle and putting in a replica of Hannah Montana's beach house or something.What do you think about Disney expanding Fantasy Land in Disney World?
Walt Disney was more commercial than people want to accept.Walt Disney created the Reedy Creek Improvement District without considering the legacy of undemocratic control in Florida.Princesses need a controlled place to maintain their beauty.Miss Piggy is a princess that demands control.



Disney was damaged by hurricanes in 2004 and 2005 which I think is the reason they are removing Toontown.Hurricane Charley went directly over Orlando and the buildings at Disney had missing shingles.The next year Florida had so many storms that they ran out of names and used letters.



Space Mountain is coincidentally being refurbished.It took a big wind load and then water found the weak points.Web sites report Disney construction and wood shingles are being replaced with synthetic.Disney refurbished the Epcot ball in 2007 and removed that giant tower which is like a hand in the wind.



Disney fixed hurricane damage over time because there was so much.Outdoor air conditioners are damaged by hurricanes and Disney has been replacing those.Swimming pools are damaged by hurricanes and Disney Studios refurbished Echo Lake's finish and pipes.
Disney's original dream was for the parks to be always changing and evolving. he's quoted numerous times as saying this. besides which, fantasyland is expanding into an area that was not part of the original park anyway. i used to think toon town was cute and fun back in the day, when there were actually animals at goofy's barnstormer, and there were small building and houses that represented ducksburg, but honestly it seems like mostly a waste of space now. apparently, disneyland has a fantasyland that has more rides and attractions than florida does, so i see nothing wrong with trying to make dw's fantasyland bigger with more classic movie rides.
