I love Disney and Disneyland just as much as the next guy, but COME ON PEOPLE. Small World is NOT Haunted Mansion (which has been changed numerous times) nor is it Pirates (which again has been changed). DFs complain about these changes, BUT the general public (the ones paying the bills) LOVE these changes. Look at the lines for Pirates since the change. Look at the lines for Tom Sawyers Island (I admit I was concerned about that one, but pleasantly surprised). NO ONE in the general public (80+% of the people coming in the front gate) are going to say, "OH no, the addition of Disney characters changes the meaning of the message of Small World's message of World peace." They will say, "Cool, look at Peter Pan (or whoever they put in there)."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-22901903064975763252008-03-23T00:03:00.000-07:002008-03-23T00:03:00.000-07:00Am I going to have to pull this car over and come ...Am I going to have to pull this car over and come back there and seperate you two?<BR/><BR/>Guys.

I would hope that most of his readers are smart enough to realize that they are reading a gossip site and not a news site. <BR/><BR/>Lutz deals with news not yet released to the public. So when something doesn't come to fruition was Al wrong or did Disney just decide to cancel that particular project? There's really no way to know.<BR/><BR/>I wonder how many people who badmouth Lutz also read PerezHilton or TMZ and don't badmouth them for being wrong or just downright unethical.<BR/><BR/>Listen, if you just want to comment on things you read in Disney press releases nothing is stopping you from doing so. But from the looks of it many people enjoy commenting on Disneyland gossip, rumors, and speculation and they will continue to do so.Spokkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03244298044953214810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-32298076358856111002008-03-22T18:48:00.000-07:002008-03-22T18:48:00.000-07:00Lutz is very questionable.

Disney could've categorically denied this by now, but they haven't, they've just been noncommittal with their responses.
