I got to grow up with DL in the 60’s and 70’s and it was paradise. 😊 Yes, in those days, Ticket Books generally came at 2 price tiers (related to the number of ride tickets), with each tier having prices for kids, tweens/teens (“juniors”), and adults. But there was also a very cheap...

In those days, the parks cost just a few dollars to enter. Everyone could afford it. Grandparents did not have to pay for rides they wouldn’t ride. The ticket books were a bargain. Everyone paid for exactly what they wanted, wasted no money, needed no reservations and had a blast at a place...

You’re right, and I agree it used to be an amazing scene in its original form. But if you were to show him out of context, without knowing what the scene is or who else is there, much of the brilliance would be lost. Until we all see the finished TBA, we won’t know whether or not the Tiana and...

Ok, imagine if PotC was the thing debuting for the first time, and they showed us a preview of the Auctioneer AA because of course they want to showcase the most complex figure. He stands there and gestures and looks great. Tiana and Louis are centerpiece AAs. There are going to be a lot of...

It doesn’t have to be an Us Vs. Them scenario. Differing viewpoints are important. So is fairness. Don’t let griping get you down; the bottom line is that everyone here is interested in theme parks. I doubt anyone here actually thinks the Disney corporation cares about the fan forum opinions. I...

Here’s the promo video: Seriously, this just makes me cringe. So much puff-talk and smoke and mirrors. Same old-same old Disney PR nonsense. They start by boasting about the place many call the worst of all Disney parks, have the nerve to describe Frozen Ever After as “exhilarating,” and then...

Exactly. 😃 Big reveal, dramatic lighting, epic music…. Old log. Maybe put a whoopee cushion sound effect at the end.

“Disney Adventure World” Featuring Cars Road Trip and the “Exhilarating” Frozen Ever After. This announcement sums up everything wrong with Disney right now.

Again, I wanna point out that Brer Rabbit did not look exactly like his film counterpart in WDW Splash, and NOTHING like his film counterpart on the DL version. I’m surprised the Tiana AA doesn’t look more like the film character, but I think it will work out just fine. It’s. A. Log. Ride.

The Hong Kong version, however, is not rear projection, but an actual AA face.

The best kind of nightmare. This is 100% the character, and I just hope she has dialogue audio that’s as hilariously hyper as it is in the movie. Lottie is one of my favorite Disney characters ever.

This reminds me to get a few more rides in before it closes. I’m gonna miss that laughably awful braking section at the end.

Never, partly because the song itself is associated with Disneyland/Magic Kingdom. Not everything in a theme park has to logically belong in an area as long as it works. IaSW is part of what the Disney Fantasyland is famous for. It’s one of the reasons families return to MK and DL. That legacy...

Islands of Adventure. Not only is it a beautiful park with some of the best rides on Earth, but the general experience of visiting Universal Orlando is, for me, a much more enjoyable, relaxed, and hassle-free experience than visiting WDW these days.

Yes, but the end result was definitely worth it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if “Zip” causally returns to many park music loops once TBA is established and all other references to SotS have been long forgotten. It’s too iconically, perfectly “Disney” to not save and further establish as its own thing, separate from its origin. And it puts guests...

Yes. I love the Louis AA, but I keep thinking it would be more appreciated and effective in an AA stage show… the kind Disney used to be famous for. How long will TBA riders actually see this figure? ESPECIALLY on the rush-through DL version??? We’ll find out soon. But I agree that, on a ride...

Lottie’s expression is fine, and captures the character 100%. Some of the greatest AAs ever made have one unchanging expression. Most AA characters are “painted” in broad strokes to instantly convey one emotion or story role (as I’m certain you know). The important thing is that they fill the...

That’s pretty much spot-on to her personality in the film. Honestly, if she stands there spouting a rapid, unending stream of hyperactive, self-absorbed babble… that will make the ride 100% worthwhile for me right there.

It’s not an imaginary issue. Song of the South has aged very poorly (huge understatement) and is a film Disney can no longer show to an American audience. And it also stinks as a feature film. Double strikes against: It’s offensive AND lousy (though it contains a few great moments). Is the ride...
