DCA version 2.0 - Will It Be Enough?

California IS a wondrous place. Yet I felt mildly amused and mildly insulted by the theme of DCA. Perhaps it was the general poor quality of the park, but it seemed less a tribute to than a mockery of California to me. I confess I feel more kindly to it now that a sense of time shift is strongly set by the Buena Vista Street entrance.

There's an element of the New DCA that I quite like which won't be finished this month. When it eventually is, by the 50's-ification of the Golden State area, I wonder if many guests will even notice it. I really like that each "land" will be a different decade in time. It's a great idea, but I think it's going to be a subtlety beyond the perception of the vast majority of guests.

But at least the park will try to establish a sense of a Time I cannot otherwise visit, rather than just a Place I would enjoy far greater if I drove a few hours in any direction.

It's a start.
