Yeah, that is what I want to see plopped down right in the middle of Town Square on Main Street. Can you imagine what tourists from other countries would think walking up and reading something like that IN the park!?

Disneyland regularly has gang fights?

A few years ago' Guests started taking advantage of Epcot's Leave A Legacy program and used it to honor deceased loved ones.

I have no problem with Disney putting this kids statue in DCA. XD

I have a problem with this. I, as many others I assume, go to Disneyland to "get away from it all." I don't go to Disneyland because I want to be reminded of how terrible of a place the world is today. The statue would be a slap in the face to anybody else who has ever lost a family member under similar (or non similar) means and not have a statue of their own. Did he work for Disney, did he work for a vendor that contracts with Disney. Even if he did there is no reason to have a statue up to remind us. Now I have no problem with it in front of the Gardenwalk...(jk)

As they shouldn't DisneyWorld isn't in Orlando, it's in Lake Buena Vista

Heck, maybe add a plaque at the bottom of the Paradise Pier Lake while it is drained. And then once the lake is filled up, nobody could see it

I might have my shootings mixed up, but isn't this the one where the supposed "victim" was standing in his front yard with a gun in his hand when the police arrived?

He might have been reacting to what he heard/saw, and trying to protect his house, but the last place that someone should be with a gun is where the police are running towards.



If it's not, my apologies...

Anytime that someone is killed accidentally, it is a sad event, and someone should pay.

But in this case, not Disneyland!

Come to think of it, Six Flags or Knott's would be a more appropriate place for this kind of stuff.
