David Friedman, a columnist at the Los Angeles Times, has some great insight on California Adventure from a recent visit he and his teen son made to the park.

My favorite quote, "...park reeks of corporate spreadsheets." How accurate and true. Also, wasn't this the type of guest that was Disney was targeting in the design of this park? The sophisticated Los Angelesite!!!
Boy, DCA has some major problems that will take more than pixie dust to fix. Tink needs to put in some overtime to create enough magic dust to make this park a success.
Tokyo Disney Sea, here I come. Also, what does everyone think about this. There have been comments that say it's not economically viable for Disney to create a Tokyo Disney Sea park in the U.S. because our spending patterns are not like the Japanese. First of all, I think EPCOT, when it opened, was as quality oriented and as expensive as Tokyo Disney Sea. And let's face it, all those merchandise shops and fine dining establishments in World Showcase are being supported by someone...the American theme park going public (and of course foreign visitors).
Come on Disney, build us some quality for a change. Concede that you've learned your lesson.
