  • Disney-fying Dickens

    well at least it's original....

    The indoor attraction includes a central square of cobbled streets and crooked buildings, where staff dressed as pickpockets and wenches will mingle with the crowds. Visitors who pay the $25 admission charge — $15 for children — will have the chance to see the Ghost of Christmas Past in Ebeneezer Scrooge's haunted house, be hectored by a schoolmaster at Dotheboys Hall — the dismal school from "Nicholas Nickleby" — and peer into the fetid cells of notorious Newgate Prison.

    Tourists can also have a meal in the cafeteria, which has resisted the temptation to offer "Please, sir can I have some more?" 2-for-1 specials. The little ones can play in Fagin's Den, an area for preschoolers named — alarmingly, some might think — after the gangmaster of the band of thieves in "Oliver Twist."

    If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

    BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.
