What GD and CP REALLY did in Paris... - Page 2

I believe it is pretty much the same as WDW's - with the exception of the talent.

Matterhorn Fan · 11-02-2005, 04:35 PM

Yeah, Jeremy Irons rocks.

Of course, when we were there WDW's had some Star Wars props. Therefore it was deemed a highlight.

My lord, I had no clue that WDW's Studio tour was THAT lame, especially since it's been around for a while longer. One less reason to take on the behemoth that is Florida.

I'm sorry I haven't had time to write reports here...work is busy and so is after work, what with trying to get our house in an orderly fashion and trying to catch up on our DVR stuff. I swear I'll write more later...

WDS tour in Florida used to be quite a bit bigger but they cut it back to put in other attractions. I'm not sure it was a huge draw anyways. And, by all means, the studio tour shouldn't be the deciding factor in whether to visit WDW or not.

Even Universal's tour (the original, I believe), although much better is still on the lame side.

I always loved the tour at USH. I was last there about 4 years ago and I still dug it. It's the original way that people learned about movie making. The place has actual history, and is still a live studio. I dig that.

Yeah, the tour was tired last time I took it, but lo and behold - - there they were filming War of the Worlds! OMG, a real movie studio and not bu!!sh!t theme park fakery (um, like the rest of USH).

But I gotta say that for the bu!!sh!t stuio theme park fakery, Disney-MGM at WDW is really good.

Matterhorn Fan · 11-03-2005, 05:34 PM

Yeah, the backlot tour isn't worth your time, but that's not anywhere near a decent reason not to visit WDW. You guys would have a blast out here.

CP wasn't implying that the Florida parks are bad. Just voicing something we realized while we were in Paris. In only 3 days and 1 1/3 parks, we were theme parked out. The thought of tackling Florida with 94 parks (or 5, whatever it's up to these days) seemed rather overwhelming.

Matterhorn Fan · 11-03-2005, 05:45 PM

I know she wasn't saying they were bad. She was just justifying not coming.

One thing I like about WDW is that there's places to hang out. EPCOT is good for this, as are many of the resorts. (And there's other things to do in Central Florida.)

Someday you'll be less themeparked-out and you'll come. Just don't come in August--it's too humid then. Blech.

P.S. It's 95 parks now, not 94.
