page is commercial...and I know that it is edited by internal Disney entities as well. Knowledge continues to allow the promotion of commercial entities...we live in a commercial world so get used to it! The real litmus test is whether the information is useful to users especially for research purposes.

Knowledge.

I have removed the section on ticket pricing because this information is likely to change faster than we can keep it updated. It also seems more appropriate to a travel guide than to an encyclopedia article. If anyone cares to maintain this information, Wikitravel might be a better place to do so.
