The TV Show "The Middle" will be filming in Disney World the week of March 24th.

Boy Meets World was pretty great because it featured EPCOT Center before the point of no return in its ruination. That episode is now a historical document of Cory and Shawn walking through the plaza in front of Spaceship Earth, Living Seas and the Fountain of Nations where Cory and Topanga kiss and make up.

I certianly agree!!

Any idea when this episode will air? I'm not a fan of "The Middle" but I'll watch this episode for sure!

I feel stupid. I have never seen "The Middle." Which network carries it, and when does it come on? From all the comments here, it seems like it would be a Fox network type of show.

While they're at it, they should do an episode of "The Goldbergs" where they visit 1980s WDW, specifically EPCOT Center.

I typically never watch that show, but if such an episode were to be made, I'd make an exception. Too bad it can't happen.......

Man oh man, they can rebuild Communicore!

Clearly you're missing the point.

I get your point. It isn't so much about what happens in the episode, it more that if you're a "friend of.." one of the characters, you need to refer to yourself as such or get in trouble, but Disney can put that on TV and get away with it.

My kid watches Good Luck Charlie on the Disney Channel from time to time, and there was an entire story arc where Teddy and her friends were "friends of..." characters at 'Super Funland.' While it wasn't WDW or DL, I don't get why it was okay to show this to kids on the Disney Channel of all places.

I don't understand your argument with GLC. Yes there were episodes based around their going to Super Adventure Land but there was only one partial scene (two minutes max) in the whole series where Teddy was dressed as the Princess and Emmit in a giant furry frog costume and it was shown as a dream sequence. They've never alluded to they were "friends of" at all. If anything children watching this episode on tv would think they were just playing dress up, not actually portraying The Princess & The Frog.

I love that show. I wish we were going to be there.

I sure hope they show the mom trying to make dinner reservations 180 days out. Also trying to set up magic bands at home 60 days out. Then when they get to the park trying to use fp+ with the their flip phones! This would be what a middle class family going to disney entails. Not showing up and riding all the rides with no waits or fp+, then eating wherever.

Nothing ever goes right for te family! Lol love the show and can't wait to see what they do!

Never thought of that.

I think that would be great, but do you really think they would expose the implementation pains they are inflicting on their guests to the world on network TV?

I don't see why they wouldn't poke a little fun at anything WDW related. If u watch the show, you know nothing ever really goes right for them, so I could totally see them having a few mishaps along the way!

I think Tubageek's point about the character talking from the Modern Family episode may seem or come off somewhat extreme to the average person but Disney has their track record of denying tv and movies the use of the Disney name because how it might protray Disney.

Take National Lampoon's Vacation... you remember that movie and Wally world? Originally, the script was suppose to be about the Oswalds going to Disneyland but Disney absolutely denied them the use of Disney simply because they didnt want to protray the idea to anyone in the world that Disney was ever closed.

With that said, with talking Mickey now at the Magic Kingdom maybe they let it slip by as they are planning to introduce more talking characters.

Well, they have to poke some fun. After all, it is a comedy show. I'm just not sure how much fun they're willing to take. I've never see the Roseanne or Modern Family episodes.

 

[CJR]

Absolutely. Disney makes a big deal about not ruining the magic, then they turn around and do it instead, but broadcast it on a popular TV show.

It would have been out of character for the character playing the character not to do something stupid like speak while dressed up in a character that's not supposed to speak. The character's not supposed to be very bright. Also, he doesn't work at Disneyland after the episode, so it can be assumed that he either quit or got fired.

 

[CJR]

Unless they won the trip.... The Hecks, the family in The Middle couldn't afford to visit WDW. Maybe it's a dream sequence.

Families take vacations they can't afford all the time. It makes perfect sense that a family would go spend tons of money at Walt Disney World and then regret spending that money later. Fits right in line with the characters too.

I'm not saying it shouldn't exist according to Modern Family, I'm saying Disney shouldn't have let it exist as it deals with Disney Parks and THEIR rules.
