Who else likes dogs?

I read that as drugs. Must be this thread turn.

I simply don't have the willpower to continue and further derail the thread. You do you, I suppose.

I know…you’ve just been around too long

Peter’s post was off topic addressing a misunderstanding of a previous poster.

but you’ve seen that all the time since may 25th, right?

Again….. we are not talking about threads going off topic. My post was in reference to the comment I quoted. That’s the difference. You quote posts and then post things that have nothing to do with the thread or post you have quoted.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Ok…now I give up.

Don't give up. I love talking about Mary Poppins somewhere in WDW. DLR gets a store and a cute show.

They really ought to build Tony Baxter's Jolly Holiday somewhere. It's better than whatever WDI would excrete anyways...question would be where is there room and thematic consistency.

 

[DisneyGentlemanV2.0]

All of the questions you just asked were answered in previous posts I made, which is part of what's confusing me.

When trackless goes off-track, it simply becomes pointless - just like this conversation.

I can think of a perfect spot in a UK themed Pavillion in World Showcase....

It would turn out to be a lesser version of the ride that he designed.

how you seen Tony Baxter’s original Little Mermaid ride? It was shortened and some very cool elements were cut.

 

[owlsandcoffee]

Well yes. They'll never build it anyways so I was assuming a world where Disney was still making rides to the best of their abilities.

That Little Mermaid concept is depressing. I remember watching it as a DVD extra, vaguely. And not but....20 years after its original design they put out the worst Omnimover ride they've ever made (imo).

Hopefully they would give us the classic Mary and not the new one. Because it would be like having a Han Solo ride with that new guy.... whatever his name is.

Yeah I know what you mean... it would be like having a Star Wars ride with Darth Vader chasing after you... only with that new guy. :-(

LOL, you know what I mean.

At least Kylo had 3 movies as the character. Emily Blunt was her once and she's in (what feels like) a million other movies.

Oh I was agreeing with you! Not using one of the most iconic characters of all time is crazy.

James Earl Jones as Darth Vader and Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins are literally legends.

I'm holding out hope that in the Space 220 restaurant, every so often Wall-E buzzes across the screens faintly in the distance in space with his little extinguisher propeller

Absolute brilliant idea!!!!!

Picture if Mary Poppins became evil. She could take over England with her army of cartoon penguins.

Picture if Mary Poppins became evil. She could really take over England with her army of cartoon penguins.

You talk like we haven't done that yet. We know where to find a blonde wig.

Ever see the Broadway show? What she lets the toys do to those poor children is ghastly (“Temper, Temper”).

My fan-backstory for Mary Poppins is that she's a princess of Avalon. But, she was wickedly mean and selfish. So, the fae banished her to the mortal realm. She may only return if she learns compassion and humility by helping human children.

Without gaslighting them too much.

I LOVED Temper Temper! I was so sad when they changed it to “Playing the Game” - although getting to hear Laura Michelle Kelly sing an extra song partially made up for it ha.
