Confession # 17: Disney's Dumb Decisions Part DUH

Disney has just broken ground on a new 963-acre park to the tune of over 3.7 BILLION dollars - in Shanghai, China.
Say what? Yep. Shangahi. China. Not to be confused with the Disney park already located in Hong Kong.


Well. I think that 3.7 BILLION dollars could have been better spent at the American parks. Have you been to WDW lately? Have you paid $82 for a DAY ticket? Have you seen the trash all over the ground? Has the Magic dimmed a bit?

At WDW, Disney could have: hired more Cast Members (especially custodial) / added a new land in the World Showcase / added a new area to the Animal Kingdom (this has been a rumor, but no action yet) / added new rides: like Monsters,Inc and Indiana Jones at DLR / built a new Moderate resort / extended the monorail to run from park-to-park / maybe even lowered ticket prices.
