I don’t know why, but that cool blue lighting that they have right before the ride takes off is one of my favorite things.

They'll have to pay extra for that.

Seeing this reminds me….
People always complained about the Effiel Tower looking ‘bent’ when seen from a certain angle.
Straight lines on curved screens sometimes don’t work nicely together.
Now…just image seeing all those ‘lines’ on the stripes of the American flag projected onto a curved screen.
Yeesh….!

The flags aren't bent... they're *waving*!!Seeing this reminds me….

“Theme” is a bit of a stretch here.

Soarin’s queue is endless, boring corridors with drab paint jobs, weird lighting, and uncomfortable families that want to just get in their seat and move on.
Which sounds to me like they totally nailed an airport!

I've said multiple times that Soarin's queue is very well themed -- it looks exactly like the long, mostly empty corridors you walk down in large airports, usually between terminals or after disembarking. Feels just like you're in an airport!
Whether that's a good theme is a separate discussion...

Until you look at the awful unthemed ceiling right before you board. Suddenly, I’m back at LaGuardia in 1997.
WDI nailed it?

Exactly!
It's not an airport. It's a gliderport.

It is not a properly themed airport …er…gliderport until it has specially themed socks.
Yes, socks.
Disney is leaving money on the table.
To complete the real airport feeling, ‘Soarin’ needs to have socks made to resemble the carpet pattern one traverses on the way to their ‘flight’.
You know, just like at MCO…!
Now that is a property themed airport….and check out these awesome socks that come in a cardboard box made to look like the famous MCO automatic PeopleMover…!
Love me some MCO airside carpet socks.
We need ‘Soarin’ socks, too.
If we can’t get carpet patterns, at least put our Chief Flight Attendent Patricks’ face on these with the saying ‘Nice Work, Pal!’ embroidered on them.
THEN, and only then, will the theming be complete.

MCO should be Soarin’s sponsor. The carpet is iconic and should be in the queue!It is not a properly themed airport …er…gliderport until it has specially themed socks.

And who needs Patrick Warburton when you could get Mayor Buddy Dyer to do the spiels!

That’s where I draw the line, Chief Flight Attendant Patrick is non-negotiable.
But of course this new partnership will require a second preshow that takes you from the terminal to the gate. That’s Buddy’s time to shine!

Why isn’t the Lightning Lane at Soarin called “TSA Pre-check”?

All of the above needs to happen.
Someone get the social media team at MCO on the phone….
