1)Rockin' Rollercoaster
2)Star Tours/Muppet Vision 3D
3)Splash Moutain
4)Snow White
5)Dinosaur

I think your list is pretty good except I have a few changes.

1)Living with the land(as we know it)
2)Body Wars/Star tours(again as we know it)
3)Snow White
4)Dinorama(the whole area I think will fizzle out in a few years)
5)Norway ride/El Rio del Tiempo(as we know them)

I think in 50 years there won't be many of the rides but the ones that are doing well and have lasted I think will remain.

In 50 years? I would think all of the rides would be different by then. By that time, we would be too old to enjoy anything.

Sweet Lord Almighty I hope they get rid of that insipid Tomorrowland Indy Speedway. Oh, and I know I'd going to get arrows for this one, but the Carousel of Progress via 50 years ago has to go as well.

Any attraction that has ben made recently to include characters from a recent movie I see getting made over (Stitch, Tarzan, Nemo, Muppets, etc). I don't see these movies right now becoming "classics" like Snow White and Peter Pan so I think they would be rolled over into something else.

This is only what I think just by going on what the company has done in the past. But it can go any way.

In 50 years, I don't know that any of the rides that are around now will be structurally stable enough or popular enough to still be there.

I would think that all rides would be gone.

If WDW is still here, which I hope it will be, but with Eisner who knows. I think that anything in Tomorrowland and Future World would be gone. They have to stay ahead of the future which requires a lot of things to be changed. And of course they'll probably drop anything that doesn't roll in a lot of people. Sadly I think that WDW 50 years from now will not have any of the rides we see today. I just hope they keep the main park icons. Those are untouchable.

50 years is a long time in the business world. Back before Disney built DL, i'm sure people wondered what Coney Island and the other large theme parks of the time would be like in 50 years. There's just as good a chance that the next best theme park could come along and blow us away and leave Disney's concepts in the dust. I think you have to think outside the box on this one and not take for granted Disney's apex they enjoy now.

I was a little late on this one so here goes:

20,000 Leagues under the sea
Alien Encounter
Food Rocks!
The Tiki Room
World Of Motion
Horizons
Mr.Toad's Wild Ride
Animator's Studio

It may sound crazy, but I'm usually right with these things

It might be more realistic to ask what may be around in 15 to 20 years. I think that some of the ideas would be the same, but I would guess that WDW will still be going strong in 15 to 20 years.

None of them.
Eisner will remain in power for another 50 years after having himself frozen and controlling the company from beyond the grave.
All rides will be replaced with 3d movies, stores, and hotels.
Lots and lots of hotels.
That and of course "Great Moments with Mike Eisner"

Isn't Disneyland over 50 Years though? It is still a popular place so I really don't see that happening.
