    Disney Stores to start offering World of Disney Store-like merchandise

    This is very welcome news. Bring back the Disney Store of the mid-late 90s, I say. Our mall used to have a wonderful Disney Store, complete with a gallery that sold adult collectibles and art, along with a decent selection of adult apparel and watches. Then it closed for remodeling, and when it...

    Hatbox Ghost is Disney World?

    Oh, it will absolutely help you with that depression. Good luck just the same! :) I'd also highly recommend Passport to Dreams Old and New for that Disney history fix. The Long Forgotten post about the interactive queue is the one titled Decadence, and pretty much outlines all the issues...

    Hatbox Ghost is Disney World?

    It's a slang term for the Interactive queue. Pepe Le Queue. (like Pepe Le Pew-get it?) I believe it was coined in the (beyond excellent) blog, Long Forgotten Haunted Mansion. Word of warning though: you might find yourself spending entirely too long reading and wonder where your day went.

    Hatbox Ghost is Disney World?

    Exactly! The bride used to be one of my favorite characters-the oddly somber scene was so mysterious and made your imagination run wild. She's gone from intriguing to tacky and boring.

    Hatbox Ghost is Disney World?

    Or that you were possibly forced out by some unseen entity. Notice that you fall backwards from the attic. Is it the Ghost Host spiriting you away from the bride to safety? Is it the bride herself shunning you, possibly in an attempt to turn you into the 1,000th Happy Haunt, trapping you in the...

    Hatbox Ghost is Disney World?

    She comes off like a Mom trying to be cool by dressing up on Halloween taking her kids Trick-or-Treating and being spooky, but not too spooky. Oddly-specific, I know. Nothing about her works. Nothing about her says anything other than "That's a flat projection on a dressmaker's dummy." And them...

    Hatbox Ghost is Disney World?

    Constance is one of my most despised changes to the parks, along with the CGI Hitchhiking Ghosts and horrendous interactive queue at WDW. Disney can be so tone deaf sometimes. What's weirder, I have never found anyone who offers praise for Constance, either. The previous versions of the bride...

    News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

    I really wish HD cameras were commonplace back then so we could get a better look at him. "Terrifying" is very appropriate here.

    News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

    Well, per @nbar and his recap of this rumor: "Dark ride was one of the proposals, not looking likely now" Unless for some reason Omnimover attractions are not considered Dark Rides, but that feels like splitting hairs. As far as I know, Mermaid, like Haunted Mansion and Nemo, are Dark Rides...

    News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

    That somehow escaped my mind. I knew that, too. I'm just trying to search my brain for what could fit the bill in this case. It's a ride, but not a spinner/carousel, and qualifies as a B...not a lot is exactly coming to mind.

    Would an interactive walkthrough attraction qualify as a B? Something like Les Mysteres du Nautilus at Disneyland Paris or the Sleeping Beauty display at Disneyland? Maybe something like that, since it seems a dark ride is (woefully) not the game plan?

    News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

    Speaking from personal preference, I hope that it's not Brave. The animators deserved the Oscar for the animation of Merida's hair alone, but the movie itself could have been so much better-especially if you look into its rocky production history. If Poppins is out, and it looks like it is, I'd...

    News Disney Not Renewing Great Movie Ride Sponsorship Deal with TCM ; Attraction to Close

    I've been going to WDW since 1993. I've experienced the bank robber scene maybe twice over 20 or so visits, to the point where I thought they just did away with it. I swear, getting the bank robber scene is like finding the Golden Snitch. (Also, love the username-one of my favorite LEGO themes...

    News Disney Not Renewing Great Movie Ride Sponsorship Deal with TCM ; Attraction to Close

    I didn't expect to be as sad as I am about GMR closing, I thought I had made my peace with the laughable decisions which led to its closure, but reading everything on these past few pages has made me nostalgic. I wish the powers that be had maintained and updated the attraction accordingly...

    Oh, absolutely :) As they say, the marni giveth, and the marni taketh away. Poppins was always my second choice-it's honestly in my top favorite movies of all time, and absolutely deserves a greater parks presence. (The looks a 30 year old guy can get by uttering the phrase "I think Mary...
