1. Parking sucks. It's quite a fight to find a spot and heaven help you if you forget the exit.
2. The ice rink is really really as awesome as you think it is.
3. Bourbon street, meh. Makes me think of disneyland, except disneyland does the little stuff right. But then Disneyland doesn't have a Hooter's restaurant, so that's a wash.
4. Haphazard layouts, few maps. WE Mall is huge, and confusing. It would help having clear lines of sight along the two major axis, so you could see the pirate ship from the far end. Marking the escalators so that you can see them on the same level would be helpful.
5. Food court, great idea, except when it's on the opposite side of the IMAX theatre. Statue of Augustus Caesar? Yeah, I'm going to be dining like a roman scarfing down my Caesar salad. Although, I have to say that's a plus. They don't have that Italian place here.
6. IMAX, pretty good idea, but what's the point of barring people from carting in WEM food from other vendors? Loved the movie, and I actually could make it out ok.
7. Which brings us to something else the magic kingdom does right. Bathrooms. They need bigger bathrooms by the IMAX so that don't have stupidly long lines.
8. Which brings us back to haphazard layouts, no bathrooms on the second floor? Really? Which reminds you of the fact that the food court bathrooms are a half hour away...
9. Thieves, yes. Thank you albertan people for convincing me that Canada does theives better than anybody else. At least the only thing they got was my crappy cellphone.
10. Hmm, makes it hard to text my friends without a phone, eh? Let's see if there's an alternative way that I can call them here.
11. Having a telus kiosk there in the mall is cool, but running it out of Vancouver? Really? Why don't they run the WEM branch out of Edmonton. At least they were able to confirm my account and cancel my phone.
12. Not being able to buy a telus phone card from the mall branch is really bad. I can get one from here that works in all the phones at the local convenience store, same with our shopping mall.
13. selling phone cards at the london drugs (conveniently located on the other side of the mall), and ones that don't have the correct layout to work in those handy telus phones. Gee, maybe telus should sell the proper phone cars in WEM, eh?
14. said phones taking loonies but not toonies, when long distance calls are 230 a minute? Ok. Clearly one of the reasons why nobody actually uses the phones...
15. Wave pool. Really? Wow. Amazing I could be in the mall for an afternoon, and never come across it.
Anyways, WEM gets a mixed review from me. If WEM were american and not faux american they would have done the little stuff right rather than that unique canadian characteristic of small irritations that spoil the whole experience.
