Idea
for Paradise Pier
MiceChat member dogtherock offers an idea for
retheming Paradise Pier.
Fireworks
from DCA

of park-stopping show at DCA like the fireworks at Disneyland.
Can there be too many fireworks shows? (I don't think so!)
Fantasyland
Attractions
MiceChatter hawk671 would like to see some

gets a price boost of approximately 100%. Some MiceChatters
discuss this phenomenon and swap ideas on making the WDW vacation
a little more... down to Earth. What are your thoughts?
