I'll be pretty depressed if these changes go ahead, but I won't be surprised. The fallback position on everything at Disney these days seems to be "pirates, princesses and characters." It feels like a slow steady march toward a dull, homogenized future. And I'm tired of hearing the defensive cry of "Disney is not a museum," just before some new piece of banality is unleashed on the parks. I don't want everything to stay the same, but I do want to be charmed, delighted and surprised by new things, not marketed to. Ugh.
