Anyone over there at Disney ever hear of Less Is More??? I understand that the Asian market is huge but wouldn't just be easier to promote the parks you have NOW? Bring over the Disney Store and set up shop to sell tickets and promote promote promote. Give them trip deals even. I just don't get it.

Disney's planning to build another half-assed park. That's common news now, isn't it?

Nope, not the same.

How about, "Americans eat raccoons and squirrels." As I have, in fact, eaten squirrel. And rabbit, and frog, and crawfish, and sushi, and burnt cow. And bee vomit.

So, in the spirit of a little humor based on a cultural stereotype based in fact, I, like MickeyLumbo, wonder how long the line at the hot DOG cart will be. And what is the Korean translation - frankfurter? Weiner? Tube steak? I'll bet it won't be hot dog.

As for continuing the dilution of a once unique product, feh.

Actually, it's 핫도그, pronounced "hot dog". Just came back from Oktoberfest at Lotte World, took some pics. This is Disney's main competition in Korea. http://www.fabsfaves.com/lotteworld.htm

Their space themed indoor dark coaster looks like it was designed by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and the cars spin like teacups. Rox.

But would they sell those yummy half-moon shaped rice cake things with the red bean paste inside? I can't for the life of me remember what they're called, but they are mighty tasty!

I only know them by their Japanese name, mochi.

i wonder how long the line at the Kimchi stand will be?

i know, i know, that's like saying all Americans eat potatoes.

Kimchi = free with everything edible (just about). Buy mandoo, get kimchi. It's like a little piece of heaven...
