[Parker in NYC]

I just (re)watched that last night on D+!!

I love that Barbra is now an official Disney Jewish Princess and Philanthropist.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed Primeval Whirl when I rode it. Definitely enjoyed it more than Dumbo. I can't say the same for Stich or Rivers of Light.

I counted 12 ride vehicles, but there may be a couple more on the trailer that are not visible. I assume this is all of them.

You know...I won’t weep for primeval hurl...

But it is an actual moving ride that won’t be replaced.

That’s just what the underbuilt parks need: less

Happy for them. Hope they find a good home in a real carnival/fair. They just weren't the right type of ride in AK. Here's hoping something better follows.

2/3 of a functioning park never was really “right” for it either...on the other side of the coin

Well, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who actually misses this ride.

It was quite fun and a quick option for when Dinosaur had a line.

Dearies should have said "so long" so long ago!

I saw the 2017 Broadway revival of that with Bette Midler. It was wonderful.

Me. too! And it was!

Sunday Clothes, Elegance, and Before the Parade from Hello Dolly! are in the Main Street BGM loop. I wish the Dappers would sing them.

I knew Sunday Clothes was part of the loop -- heard it playing when we were there in January. Didn't know about the others, though.

Obviously you just don't understand theming.

I just (re)watched that last night on D+!!

Watched it a couple ago myself, which in turn made me watch Wall-E again.
