I'll cast the first negative note in this thread. It looks like the idea was nicely executed, but I firmly disagree with the idea philosophically. The characters are unnecessary. Their presence says to me, "China by itself isn't relevant or interesting, but hey, Mulan and Mushu, huh? Africa - not worth a damn until you add Timon and Pumbaa. And hey, you can't talk about Hawaii without Stitch can ya? Of course not!" World cultures only exist for Disney to market to. Whee!
I can almost (almost) see the justification of having Alice or Pinocchio represented in the countries where their stories originated. (Still, they have entire attractions of their own already!) But Stitch!?! Yeesh. (And by this logic, Ariel belongs in Amsterdam, not in the actual ocean. And Nemo and Dory just plain don't belong!!! Okay, I'd best just stop.)
So, yeah, put me down in the "it's wrong" category. I'll still ride when I'm in town, but I'll probably be grouchy.
