IMHO it's just like the whole M&G thing, people are just celebrity crazy. Disney capitalizes on what's popular and celebs are popular. Why risk something original when everyone in your target audience already knows who Lightening McQueen is and wants to see him?

Afer I watched it I read that a lot of it was filmed at HS but since I had only been on the ride once and it was at night I didn't reconize much of the hotel Might have to watch it again before our trip in March.

The whole movie is on YouTube.

I guess sticking with established character theming also sells a lot more in the giftshop.
Just look at how much busier Tatooine Traders or even the Muppets giftshop is compared to Space Mountain or BTMRR.

This gripe comes up a lot around here. Don’t forget that when Walt was designing Disneyland, the lands were chosen to complement what was airing on in his TV series at the time. Adventureland and the True Life Adventures, Frontierland and Davy Crockett, etc. So if Walt was doing it, have things really changed all that much?

You have it backwards. Disneyland had those segments because those were the lands of the under-construction Disneyland.

You should clarify that you mean the TV show Disneyland which later became known as Walt Disney Presents and other names (not going to list them all).

That's why I used italics for the show name.

I know, but if one is unaware of the original show, they may not pick up on that, or your point.

Yah, I realized that after I left the office for lunch. I knew someone would correct me by the time I got back to correct it. I’m having a bad day and it’s only 1pm.
