| Would you want another theme park resort just as big as Disney Would you? Universal isn't much of a competitor about 1/5 the size of Disney. So would you like another theme park resort destination? That would be around the same size as Disney. To the extent of Disney.

| Not so much. I don't go to Disney for the size, I go for the magic, the nostalgia and the family friendly atmosphere. I love amusement parks. I grew up going to Kennywood Park in West Mifflin, PA. It is another place I go that is magical, nostaligic (my granddad worked there as a teen), and very family-friendly and clean. I mean, you can leave a picnic basket on a table and no one will mess with it. I also love Cedar Point and King's Dominion...but I don't think any of the other amusement/entertainment parks CAN compete with Disney, because they aren't guided my the same vision that Walt laid out for his enterprise. The fact that his dream has withstood the test of time proves he was correct and that people still value the things he hoped and believed they did. I don't get that feeling from other amusment enterprises and I wouldn't want them to fail.

| Maybe not as big as WDW. Universal, for its small size, has better rides than WDW. It doesn't have the magic or the memories but it is a lot fun. Seaworld and Busch Gardens are also worth a day. variety is always a good thing imho

| Not really. I can't imagine anyone doing it better....and I think it would be overkill for Disney to attempt another large park in the US.

| I voted yes. But it really is a yes and no answer. If the other park(s) would make themselve just like Epcot for example then I would be all for it. But, if they were just bigger versions of what they have now, like Universal etc. Then I would vote no.

| My vote is NO. I would not want another park near Orlando as there is already enough to do there. CA already has enough touristy things to do. Other parts of the country "could" use something like this but places like the north would not be able to cope with the long winter shutdowns.

| I agree with a lot of what has already been said here - it's nice that Disney is so big and has so much to do, but the reason I keep going back is for the guest experience.

| I agree with several others. If it was a Disney park, I would be in favor. Maybe something in Texas/Arkansas/Tennessee area. I would love to be able to have a Disney park within a short drive from home.
