This is the shot in the arm, I think, WDW was needing. I am not knocking with how the place is currently, in any way. But WDW and Disneyland need to keep up with the technology and the wonderful stories that the Studio is releasing. Looking forward to everything coming…especially Rivers of Light next spring.
