I've been reluctant to go to HKD before the expansion is complete. I lived near Disney World in Florida and I'm afraid it would just be too big of a let down right now. I just wish it wasn't going to take until 2014 to complete. With all of the money and resources that Disney and the Hong Kong government has you would think they could complete it much faster than that. Love it!

Disney was going to go with either Intamin or Zamplera and they chose Intamin because they have a better history with Intamin.Tigerlemurguy, Toy Storyland wasn't part of the expansion plans three months ago. Basically what happened is there was going to be an area called Glacier Bay where guest would have boarded a train that took them into an indoor land with fake snow and scientific theming. However, the government would pay for research for the technologies need in the area. So last minute, Disney used the plans from Walt Disney Studios new Toy Story area and placed them as a mirror image in Hong Kong. Kind of sad.

Its going in Magic Kingdom after all and it just doesn't seem the right sort of land to being going into the park. Its lacks good theming and its too based on one film. That's my opinion!
