I think I'm gonna call shenanigans on the kid that said his grand dad wrote the opening speech for Disneyland. Or, is that Marty's grandkid? Oh... and Super Nintendo World may be great and all... but can it compete with DisneyQuest? (Mario was only 17 years old when DisneyQuest opened. When...

That's just because they were too cheap to replace it to "The Magic Kingdom presents".

I'm not sure about school/tour groups, but convention guests usually have a higher rate than leisure or transient overnight stays. It may be different at Disney resorts, but at least that's the way it is at Gaylord Hotels (such as the Palms in Orlando) that has about 80% group / 20% leisure...

I'm not sure those props are the real-deal. I think most (if not all) are replicas. (I could be wrong, though)

It's interesting that the paper doesn't refer to Sleeping Beauty Castle as it's given name. I'm guessing they'll rename it to something similar to what Shanghai did.

I don't like being negative, but I'll be the first to say it... I'm betting this is the only full-size animatronic we're getting. I would love to be wrong...

That "Happy, Happy Birthday to you..." song was what immediately thought of.

And, don't forget "If you had wings..." wasn't even an A Ticket. It was free. Someone correct me if I'm wrong - I was under the impression that Disneyland's version was always "The Peoplemover"; whereas, Walt Disney World had the "WEDway Peoplemover".

That *was* an E! I remember pitching an awful fit on my second trip to Walt Disney World when we learned it had been shipped off to Japan. Yes, I was one-of-those-kids.

Don't forget Mickey Mouse Revue!

Disney also released several Discovery Channel specials - all. about. the. yeti - they were the ones espousing on how grand and fabulous it is. Some of the blame needs to be laid at their feet.

A little bit off topic, but I can't find anywhere else to post. And, since this is sort of a catch-all article, I thought I'd add it here... Has anyone seen this new proposal (?) for a project called the Disney Ride Archive (RideArchive.com)? It looks like it's a crowd-funded proposal or maybe...

From the way I understand it, they've just swapped out the articulated head. For example, the current Audio-Animatronic President Bill Clinton and President George W. Bush no longer have the functionality to talk and move like they did when they were originally added. I don't believe the current...

Viacom?

I'm pretty sure that Walt Disney World's Main Street Electrical Parade was shipped to Disneyland Paris in the early 1990s. It ran there for a while before the park replaced it with Tokyo Disneyland's Fantillusion.
