KIT BALLANTINE was saying to BRUCE METCALF...

Hi ho! Kit, couldn't help but agree with your statement.  Although being from 
Pennsylvania and only have gotten to DL twice in my life, the first time was 
as a child.  The magical memories and wonderment never left me, and when I 
went back to DL as a young adult, it clicked again for me.  Now that I and my 
wife go to WDW, we easily find contentment in that magical place! You have to 
'let go' of your worries and such and just relax and become a child again!  
I'm glad that the Disney Imagineers are finally updating Tomorrowland for 
today's tastes as that was my biggest disappointment as an adult.  When I was 
a child, Tomorrowland was right on target!  I think it's a good idea to turn 
it into a sort of H G Wells vision of the future. That'll never be outdated!
