Thought i would re-share this nice photo...of Tony holding that college project we were talking about earlier.
It would have been neat if his 'Mary Poppins - Jolly Holiday' attraction had been built at some point.
Perhaps it will resurface in the future...?
In my opinion with, the interactive idea, the story was meaningless. It is one of the only attractions that to me was an obvious smoke and mirrors presentation. (not counting Haunted Mansion, of course and that was part of it's way of having a story) I am still convinced and no one has explained how TT isn't. The "design" factor is total nothing in reality. Just a thing to do and with the help of suspension of disbelief becomes part of the ride. Nothing more.
I would love an attraction that starts off like a carousal and you hear Bert say "Very nice indeed if you don't wanna go anywhere" then you hear Mary say "who says we are not" gus appears in the middle of the carousal much like the film pulls a lever and your horses begin to leave the carousel.Thought i would re-share this nice photo...of Tony holding that college project we were talking about earlier.

Yea, I suppose, but, then there is that pesky little thing called feeding the hungry that has nothing at all to do with themes. If it did, however, what better theme could it have then a place to buy coffee and food products. Seems like the perfect theme for the purpose. BTW, I don't drink coffee and I don't think I can come up with any reason why I will be using the handy, dandy Starbucks location, so I am not defending it, just trying, in my cute way to point out the silliness of the whole Starbucks discussion. WDW will still be WDW with our without an active Starbucks, but, if people get pleasure out of it...just turn your head the other way as you pass by. Out of sight, out of mind.
Yup, I can see them lining up for that, can't you? I don't drink coffee, like I said, so I have no horse in this race, but, seriously there is way to much faux anxiety about this. It's coffee, be it Starbucks, Nescafe, Chock full of Nuts (that would have been a good brand for a Disney location). Not everything needs to be themed. How would you feel about restroom themed like a Peruvian Rainforest. Not necessary? Correct! That is a place for a human function as is drinking and eating. The opposite end of the restroom story.
Sure but that's Canada...we understand.
You know, I've
Think of an early 20th century coffee shop. Do you picture people sipping Frappachinos and skinny lattes? Do these items pop up in an image of 1920s-1940s Los Angeles and Hollywood? Universal killed the idea that themed food is too much to ask for with the Three Broomsticks. No hot dogs and burgers. No Coca-Cola products.
I guess I see what you are saying, however, there is a limit to just how realistic my themeing needs to get. I enjoy seeing buildings that look a little like I would have found in 1920 but I sure damn don't want to live in 1920. I like my current world to much and I am not in the least stimulated by no air conditioning, strips of flypapers hanging down, sitting next to EVERYBODY, that doesn't have deodorant and takes a bath once every two weeks whether they need it or not. I like nostalgia as much as anyone, but I don't want to actually be in it, just a simulated experience with creature comforts. Instead of restrooms should they have outhouses? Where do we stop with authenticity?
Romance is not historical recreation. It's an image, an idealization. There is no issue of guest convenience, health or safety in not offering trendy drinks in an unrelated experience.
