I can understand your point, but I am from old school. I like the AA's and the (at least at one time) quality of AA's. I don't mind mixing them both on the same attraction if AA's and 3D film are done well. Bugs life is a great attraction. AA's, film, smell, feel all in one attraction. But I also don't go to Disney to watch a big screen tv either. I don't get the attraction to TSMM. Especially a hour plus wait if you don't have a FP. To me it is just a giant wee screen that I use at home. Well maybe not as big... I go to Disney and want to be immersed into a, you might say, state of mind that I cannot get at home. That's why I love to just ride the monarail..... When I ride that, I know I am at Disney.

I'm not fond of the new spiel but I understand it had to be updated eventually but I saved a copy before they changed it so if I really need some Disney monorail nostalgia it's a click away. Also, when I'm at Disney, I change my tone sets to various monorail sounds. One time we were at DHS in the drawing class and I forgot to set my phone to silent and someone called. and my phone went ding, ding, ding please stand clear of the doors por favor ...everyone had a good laugh.

Please stand clear of the doors por favor....

I hate that attraction. What imagination went into that. What was the imagineer drinking or what dark sense of humor made them think lets pack a room full of small children, turn off the lights so they are in pitch dark and then have a monster spit on them. losers.

I agree with all of these but three:
  1. Lights, Motors, Action
  2. Mission Space
  3. Magic of Disney Imagination
Every time I've been all three had long stand by times except Lights, Motors, Action was filled to capacity.

Sure but you gotta remember that if someone doesn't like something, then it would follow suit that no one would like it, no matter how much proof to the error one might put forth.

I agree with that too :D and who knows, maybe I was there on busy busy days when any old port in the storm is good. :)

Lights, Motors, Action only has 2 shows a day when it used to have 3. It also used to offer Fastpass at one time. As for Magic of Disney Animation, when you enter the queue, look at all the extended queue to the left that sits unused. They now allow you to bypass the theater part of the show if you just want to meet the characters. Mission: Space can still draw in a line similar to others on the list, perhaps more than some of the others on the list, but compared to how popular it used to be, it has died off rather quickly for something that opened 10 years ago and is still a thrill ride.

Well then I guess its all gone to a place in a hand basket. Maybe they'll all become "use to be's" so I can enjoy short lines and lots of room like I do at Carousel of Progress. We never get tired of it. We enjoy it. Its especially enjoyable if we go during the daylight hours in the summer because it's a break from the heat.
