The stateside parks are squeaky clean? Hardly. Those days are long gone, well before everyone started blaming Shanghai for cutbacks.
And please, enough already about the "swarm" vandalizing the shopping plaza. All of the reports have been massively overstated. This stuff happens in the stateside parks all the time. All. The. Time.
What is it with all the Orlando bloggers and the Shanghai hate? Much ado about nothing.
It's Disney's fault that people trashed the place? How about people learn to toss their trash and not vandal? I am sure the staff was working hard to keep it clean. Yes, I am sure they hired more sweepers... and security.
The average price of a fast food meal in the US is $7. I'm not sure what McDonald's you're referring too. Disney food prices are pretty comparable to buying food in any large city.
You say that balloons are banned on the Metro due to the Hydrogen gas. Doesn't Disney fill the balloons with Helium in China like they do in the rest of the world?
Helium is an inert gas with with no side effects, apart from a squeaky voice if inhaled.
I'm sure they do. But who's to say someone couldn't take a Mickey-like balloon, fill it with hydrogen, and ignite it on a train?
hydrogen gas? I doubt it
Let the helium out of the balloon before you get to the train station, fold up balloon, take balloon home, pin or tape balloon to wall of bedroom. PROBLEM SOLVED.
