THE 1HAPPY HAUNT

It states Frontierland on the park guide map therefore it counts as Frontierland in my book.
fair enough, to me the Rivers of America really don't belong in any land that's the way I have always viewed it. I always saw it as neutral body of water that borders Frontierland, Adventureland, New Orelans Square and Critter Country. One could say Fantasmic really is on Tom Sayer's Island but I view the island being on the rivers and not the other way around. To me the Rivers is as very much apart of New Orleans Square, maybe more so, than being just an extenion of Frontierland.

See I disagree I view them as their own lands even though critter country is not much of a land it is really just called that because of Splash.
They are their own lands, but thematically they're extensions of Frontierland. Frontierland, upon opening, even had a New Orleans street as part of it with a chicken plantation restaurant. In Walt Disney World, Frontierland opened with Country Bear Jamboree which of course gave us Bear Country leading to Critter Country. They really could all be billed under one land and it'd be consistent theming.

My retort to that would be both are closer to Adventureland than Frontierland so if they are an extension of anything it would be Adventureland especially the way Adventureland beautifully merges into New Orleans Square seamlessly and leads you immedaitley in front of PIRATES.

see, i voted for little mermaid because (to me) it’s the best omnimover - the line is almost always non-existent. haunted mansion is the better ride, sure, but better omnimover? idk about all that

The Little Mermaid is wayyy too book report type for me. Plus the underwater feel is just not there. It’s unnecessary and needs to be changed to Mulan or Coco
