Any examples of 'bad show' from years gone by?

[LuvtheGoof]

Oh and I agree with the OP...and you.

But there have been some real winners in the last year...case and point...

Those were just plain stupid, and thank goodness they're gone now!

Yes...yes it is...It's the same exact one from the opening day broadcast...


The costumes were actually from a Ice Tour show...Shown here with Walt..

Anyone else think Uncle Walt looks really freaked out in this picture?

In this one he looks like he's saying "Who in their right minds designed you?"

In This one he's saying..."I don't trust that rabbit..You are a rabbit right?"

Do you include voice artists too?

I take it you've never seen a traditional UK pantomime either, where the Dame is always played by a man? Not to mention sometimes a leading man is played by a woman.

Back in Shakespeare's time, women weren't allowed to act on stage. All roles were played by men.

Well each to their own eh?

We'd best not bring up Lassie or Flipper, then.

I'm still scratching my head over that one. Disney bean counters trying to squeeze those extra pennies.

Mickey is almost always a woman. Next time you see mickey look at his actual height. Female.

They like to make a lot of the popular characters women or especially short men to make it easier for children to hug them and so forth.

I will also point out about Finding Nemo seeing both Puppeteer & Performer work great for that show having a vibe of Avenue Q since the songs were written by the same artist (Yeah and Frozen)...Buuuut, Does anyone just get a "unsettling" vibe of the version that they use for Disney On Ice...

I'm surprised they don't use the Puppet/Performers for the ice shows...I mean it's workable as they not only use it for the Stage show but, they are also being used for the Pixar Play Parade at DCA...

What's wrong with that? Why camp out at FW when you can camp out INSIDE of MK?

eh...if it were an overnight deal, it'd be different...ish...

Lol it still doesn't change my opinion of females in male roles or the opposite.

What about Peter Pan?

Back in the day Disney would never have advertising or brand names in the Magic Kingdom ....................................... or would they?

I thought ride and show sponsors existed from the beginning? I thought that is how Walt got some money to build DL.

You do know those are long gone, right? It was a STUPID idea from the first, and good riddance to bad rubbish.

I know even worse

I've read posts on here saying 'Walt would be turning in his grave' seeing McDonald's or Starbuck's logos inside the parks etc.

Honestly he would be turning in his grave if he knew WDW turned out to be a theme park resort. Placements of third party company logos would be extremely trivial by comparison.

I don't think the sarcasm I intended for that post came through like it should have. I thought those were ridiculous the first time I heard about them.

Then explain Ford, Pepsi and GE at the Worlds Fair?

I respectfully disagree about the turn around in the last 6 or 7 years. On my trip to the MK last year, almost every bathroom I went into was dirty; paper all over the floor, counters not wiped off, multiple toilets not in usable condition, etc. I blame Disney management for most of it, but unfortunately it's the customer's causing a lot of the problem. Food is certainly passable, but not up to prior standards and depending on the refurbishment schedule of resorts, you can still get a pretty worn out room. It happens in every hotel thought, not just Disney.

When did you go? I go for 2 weeks during the F&WF and I use the restroom ALOT. Like every 45min to an hour(yes I have a medical thing). I have always found them to be very clean. Of course you get some paper towels on the floor, from pigs that can't hit the trash can, that staff has not instantly picked up. But they were very clean, especially the amount of people that use them.

They've done these things for years though some think it's a new phenomenon, that's my point.

WDW bathrooms are really quite clean when you consider that the amount of people using them dwarfs most any other public restroom you would find yourself using regularly (like at a normal restaurant)
