I was just in Disneyland and I rode the Snow White ride there. I think the Mine Coaster being built in FLE will actually do a better job representing Snow White in the park. Though I do hope the ride has at least one scene representing the Evil Queen because I did enjoy seeing her in her throne room and doing other regal things before turning into the witch and going after Snow White. I hope all of that makes it into the queue or something.
Oh yes, 2 rooms of characters is always better for storytelling than an entire ride filled with room after room of them...

This can be used as a motivational tool to plan a trip to the Land! Plus, you get to see Alice and the Matterhorn!

So is your son over the Snow White ride now? I thought about you when they said they were taking it away and I hoped that he had his fill of it. Maybe he will like the new one even more?

He's doing well. We were at the park just yesterday, and although he asked about Snow White he did not get upset or spend any time walking the construction wall where the ride used to be. It took a solid six months for him to get over it. If you are interested, I have written a book about his entire experience - it will be available at the beginning of March, I'll post links here when it is out.

To this day, I still have never understood, why WDI saw the desire to replace Mr. Toads Wild Ride. Yes The Many adventures of Winnie the Pooh is very Popular. however Mr. Toad is a Treasure. and still very popular in Anaheim.
I understand Closing Snow white, with another Snow white inspire ride popping up. But Mr Toad was one of my favorites as a child and now as an adult. I always loved the train heading towards us in the dark.

I doubt WDI came up with the idea.

I actually boycotted The Pooh Ride when he replaced Mr Toad the first trip down there after it happened. Since then I rode it my last two trips but do have a grudge against the ride. Until you see the Pooh characters who take the anger away. because. Really who could be mad at Pooh and friends once they see them.

You can still ride Toad at Disneyland.

Meh, Toad at WDW was far superior to DL. For a start, we had two different Toads. So unique.
Sadly, many of the reasons why the MK was once the superior park have been removed, while DL kept developing its strengths.

Indeed. Disneyland's facade was updated nicely (and that could have easily been done to WDW's as well like they have done with Pooh), but the core ride behind Toad at Magic Kingdom was much better. One of those few shining moments where WDW got something a bit more special that was brought over from Disneyland (basically when MK was treated as its own unique entity and a worthy park in of itself). Even though it was an old fashioned ride with a bunch of cutout props, it just had a lot of heart and was incredibly entertaining.
I don't have much against the Pooh ride in of itself, well with the exception being that it's a damn shame we didn't get the awesome trackless version from Tokyo. I actually love Winnie the Pooh and would have loved a ride to be made out of it. My problem is that this could have gone elsewhere without having to do away with Toad in the first place. They had plenty of space and we'd have had an addition instead of simply a replacement.
Sad to say that this is largely the situation behind the Fantasyland expansion. They're "new" attractions technically, but they're generally replacement for something that was torn down, they're not additions to a pre-existing roster of rides. We got Mermaid and 7 Dwarf coaster but at the expense of Snow White and (even though it has been gone for a long time now) 20k Leagues.
