ok...a lot of you have been saying certain attractions (what i consider to be classic attractions) badly needs updating to fit in with the 21st century. me, personally? i think Disney was in perfect shape up until the Millenium Celebration...and don't get me wrong, i adored the MC, but everything Disney has either changed or updated since then has been such a huge let down for me!
Personally, i think they should stop completely redoing so called 'outdated' attrations, and start making some minor changes to better the attrations they DO have. which has been evident that they are do that to an extent with such rides as The Great Movie Ride, and adding a new tombstone on the outside of HM (sutle, i know, but still, it's an update) am i making sense?
let's take a look at Adventureland. sure, it's new and fresh looking...but think about it...which gave you a more magical feeling? i'm sure some of you are indifferent and like the original and the new version. but if you're ANYTHING at all like me, you would say the original was more magical. in my case, #1 i practically grew up with the original, and #2 it had the realistic feel/look. it almost seemed like you were really there, even though the buildings seemed 70ish, but they could've fixed that easily. instead they change the place to Agra'blah' which the new ride pushes the crowd together, they took out the trees in the middle of the place which makes it seem even hotter, and it has the look of a friggin cartoon, which, in my opinion, should be reserved for Fantasyland.
but, on to what i've been building up to. no one has said one word (as far as i know) about the resorts. and i'm not talking about the resorts like Caribbean Beach or Port Oleans...i'm talking about the ones that obvisously have had no work done on them since the 70's (maybe early 80's). sure Poly and GF have done some work on the outside, but dear Lord, look at the insides! now i'm one who loves old things, and i used to love the monorail resorts when i was a kid...but now i only see them as kind of eyesores. GF is probably the best looking one out of the three, Contemp coming in 2nd and poly in 3rd. and they have the strangest smell! if there's ANYTHING in WDW that needs an update, these resorts should be first on the list! and i'm not trying to start up an arguement here, but it's just how i feel.
