From: Jennifer K. on 1 Sep 2006 21:55 Nope, in all my trips to WDW, didn't do the beach. Grew up near the beach, not a beach girl. Just saying, I do love Big D.

Disney, unlike Six Flags, Cedar Fair, or other chains, is about national, really international, destination parks. Not just building a single park to serve a single metro area. Is the demand there for a third such park in the USA? Probably not. Such a venture would just siphon visitors off Disneyland, which is having trouble anyway, and WDW. And Dallas is not weather appropriate for a year round park. And before anyone cites the failed Virginia project, this was a special, American Revolutionary and Civil War history themed park that would be inappropriate in Florida, California, or Texas. The natural expansion for Disney seems to be Australia. Probably somewhere on the Gold Coast. Perhaps with a harder look at other appropriate places for the Virginia venture. Perhaps Delaware.

I love the weather there, year round. I was there in late July. >It's a dry heat. :o) Dallas is fine as long as it's under 100 degrees. Right now it's 92 degrees outside and it's wonderful. But let it hit triple digit and it's unbearable. It's like walking around with a space heater blowing on you all day. It just saps the energy right out of you. That can pretty much be what all of August into September can be. When that happens the idea of going to anyplace that requires outdoor activity is unthinkable. Every year I go to Florida this time of year to escape the heat of summer in Texas. I once went to Six Flags here in DFW on a hot summer day. It wasn't fun at all. I left within a couple of hours.
