Let's Do Something about that DCA Problem

[Prudence]

Moonliner has reminded me of other thing I wanted to say -- Maybe I'm misremembering, but it seems to me that when DCA opened they wanted to emphasize it's non-Disneyness. One way they did this was by not having the Disney characters there. And so forth and so on.

And that didn't work. As Moonliner points out, what makes Disneyland Disneyland is that it's Disneyland. If you make DCA non-Disney, it's never going to have that magical spark that makes Disneyland special.

I thought much of the giant re-do proposal, as described in Al's column, sounded great. It kept the bits I liked most and ix-nayed the bits I hated most.
