No Bench?

I was looking through a few articles the other day on:

re-imagineering

I came across an interesting post, talking about how Disney's California Adventure does not have enough benches. I found this very interesting considering in all of the Disney World theme parks there are more then enough benches (just ask my dad or my Grandpa). You can't walk 4 steps without finding a place to sit down.

Here is the article:

"When Roy E. Disney accused the Eisner regime of building Disney's California Adventure "on the cheap" it was very clear what he was talking about. Here was a park filled with off the shelf amusements contracted out to less than stellar vendors, no distinct themed areas and nary a penny spent on new show technology, save perhaps Soaring Over California's remarkable hovering benchseats.But what the park's few guests may not realize is that the 'cheap' across the street from Disneyland went far deeper than Wal-Mart style thrills, mall esthetics and empty sightlines. When it came to the comfort of patrons, DCA proudly demoted the guests to third world refugees by not fully budgeting for one of the most rudimentary of theme park provisions: Outdoor seating.We all know what happens to guests non-plussed by their stroll along Paradise Pier. They leave and never come back. But what about the few remaining souls who haven't yet given up the faith? What happens when, after searching vainly for any element of charm in the park, guests now need a quiet place to rest their weary feet?It appears that when it comes to taking a break from your glorious California Adventure Disney would rather you please remain standing."

Well, it seemed that I always found a BENCH when I was there... They are even "sleepable".Oh Well!!right now I bet you wouldn't go far and not hope there was a bench to sit on..Hurray for WDW, "Keep the Benches", there are still few of us 'oldies' that like to rest once in a while.. and if I see it correctly there are a lot of 'us' that keep the Park Operating..(CY)
