I’ll be interested to see how Duffy rates in polls in years to come. While he doesn’t appear to be the most…

    2010 DIS Forum Disneyland Paris Awards Results: Overall Best Land/Area

    WINNER Fantasyland (50%) 2nd Adventureland (22%) 3rd Main St USA (17%) 4th Frontierland (13%) 5th Discoveryland (9%) 6th Toy Story Playland (4%) The results here go to prove two things: 1) When I left out the word area when asking for votes for best Disneyland Park land, I did Main ST USA a dis-service as in that vote it didn’t even get a mention, where as here it beat out both Frontierland and Discoveryland. 2) Even though Toy Story Playland was voted the top land/area in Walt Disney Studios, people see…

    2010 DIS Forum Disneyland Paris Awards Results: Best Land/Area in Walt Disney Studios

    October 17, 2011 /

    2010 DIS Forum Disneyland Paris AwardsWINNER Toy Story Playland (50%) 2nd Toon Studio (27%) 3rd Backlot (14%) 4th Disney Studio 1 (9%) Sorry, but I don’t agree. There’s no doubt that Toy Story Playland is a dynamic addition to Walt Disney Studios, but best land/area in Walt Disney Studios? Surely not. I’ve no doubt the rides are fun, for some, but visually it doesn’t hold a candle to the amazing Studio 1 which is an area that I believe is very under-utilised, especially in the evenings. When they have the bands…
