Disney Finally Squashes Illegal Kiddie Gambling

[George]

Not unless they like rolling and smoking their tickets. As they proceeded to do in the back of the arcade.

With associated smell of weed.

I've caught whiffs at DIsney before too.

A popular spot (as I've experienced it twice in so many trips) is the path that runs between liberty square and the castle.

A fairly sparsely used trail that is woodsy and comparatively earthy compared to the rest of the area. go figure!

A few years ago someone posted an article that was a really fun read. It was written by "dad". He was being forced to go on a WDW vacation, but he was going with a buddy how knew where to smoke pot on property and that was a large portion of the article (the where and how of the aforementioned smoking).

I don't partake, but I think that would be an interesting read.

Took some searching on the information superhighway, but I'm a badass. Here it is - http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/12/magazine/a-rough-guide-to-disney-world.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

Permit has already been filed for the arcade:

T/L Light and Power CO Video Arcade - General Construction

Has anyone been by to see if all the games are just turned off or is their a wall up or anything else? Does the sign outside still say "Video Arcade"? Wonder what the permit is for.

This has been a blessing for us. My son wants no part of the arcades that don't give tickets for skeeball and other stuff.

Here is the inside of the store and the walled-off arcade

I am glad they got rid of the arcade for one reason and one reason only. Did you ever notice the view from the steam train while passing the arcade? For years, through the futuristic plexiglass-bubble windows on the back of the arcade building, you got to look at the dusty Masonite back covers of the machines and a bunch of extension cords, how magical!

So Chuck-E-Cheeses everywhere in Florida are gonna be shut down? It's like the Rockafire Explosion are getting some kinda cruel revenge from beyond the grave.

Maybe it was the Country Bear Jamboree.

Any rumors for what they will put here instead? I would have thought it would have sat empty for a while but there is already a work permit....interesting. Hoping for more than a just a store expansion but we will see.

An extended Magic Band/DVC sales area...

Probably something Frozen related.

Think about it.. space mountain already looks a bit like ice shapes... a little facade and the arcade front could be a castle entrance.. and you have the Mountain from Frozen and your sled race from the movie!

I'm a genius!!

And some people here would vigorously defend it saying that it fits in Tomorrowland just fine.

I would guess meet and greet space for Tomorrowland characters or expanded gift shop.

"It's the Magic Kingdom. Anything Disney character related fits!"

 

[NMBC1993]

"It's the Magic Kingdom. Anything Disney character related fits!"

In that case, I call for a re-theme of It's a Small World.

I did hear a very soft rumor that Century 21 might want the space. If so, we could see another home of the future there. Take it as a grain of salt, but it would be better than merchandise expansion.
