I wonder if that is really the entire problem with Animal Kingdom - it's passive nature
We often talk about how DAK was designed to be a very different type park. Passive being the common experience adjective. Was this really the intent or an unintended byproduct of the theme? If BK had been built (per design) would DAK really have that different a mix of experiences than an MGM?
