Yes, that's what I meant. Something involving the Orange Bird prior to the show beginning, whether it's in the queue or inside the actual building.

That line of thinking resulted in the replacement of Journey Into Imagination with the Imagination Institute - "Just let Kodak do whatever they want. Any change is a good change as long as they are paying for it." EDIT: I don't even like Test Track (in fact, I hate it and it bothers me that...

A bit of the old, newer and new. Old friends in and out. And a bit back to front to boot! Old = Old show Newer = DL version New = Orange Bird as host Old friends In = Orange Bird Old friends Out = Barker Bird Back to Front = Barker Bird

If it's true (I doubt it), I think we're burying the lead ... can you think of any more boring concept for an attraction than "How we build a car?" What a waste of money they'd be making.

I've had about enough of you people! Disney promised a "bold, fresh" concept and they gave you ... seed and mulch. What more do you want?!? Are you trying to tell me a series of night clubs, live music, comedy and a nightly New Year's Eve party is better than seed and mulch?

Me neither, but it doesn't make me feel good about things. "They are returning the original show" or "They are installing the current DL version" would be so much easier to say, yet he chose not too. Not a good sign.

Sorry, but when someone says WDW is focused on cartoons and (implies that it) can't be "too cartoonized", I reserve the right to point out that it didn't used to be that way and that 20 years ago, the only place you found cartoons was in Fantasyland, the Main Street Cinema, the Animation Tour...

Sigh. I realize you're a teenager so you literally don't know what you're missing (not your fault, you weren't even alive when the decline started). But it's depressing to me that there's a whole generation of people who don't know what Disney was like prior to the marketing shift.

It's pretty much how I feel about it. And further, it's not just cartoonified, but synergized. Apparently nobody in Disney management has said "You know, we made a billion dollar franchise out of intellectual property created specifically for the parks (not to mention they are our most popular...

I'd kill for a Vegas-themed adults only moderate or deluxe resort.

Haha, I'm glad that it's still there. Although, technically, it's the bride's ring (from the attic).* *And yes, I know it's neither.

I know your question wasn't directed at me, but if I could choose anyone famous, I'd pick Steve Martin.

I doubt it's the steel drums because that would actually take money for performers (fat chance). My guess is it's the cannon fire and Spanish soldiers.

Mid 90s - probably 1995-96. It was the dawn of the world wide web. The "mainstream print media" is news to me; as far as I know, he was involved in the music industry and then real estate prior to writing about Disney.

He wasn't (and didn't) when he started his "fix Disneyland" campaign. He became a known quantity (the guy who writes about how badly TDA is screwing up their parks) and gained a reputation (the guy who got Disney to fix Disneyland/DCA). No interest in becoming the face of the project. And a...

People called Lutz an ________; then the parks got fixed. Sorry, in this instance, the truth is negative. You can't be both honest and positive.

2005 I don't even consider all three of those combined to be as important as the restoration of the original Tiki Room.

His twelve years as head of WDW was the worst twelve years in the resort's history. Things didn't get any better the five years he was in charge of the entire Parks division.

I know you may find this surprising, but I honestly couldn't care less what anybody's opinion of me is (particularly on this forum). Not because I don't respect or like the people on the forum (I do), but I can't spend my life concerned with what might upset the delicate sensibilities of a few...
