What is the best part of IASW?

I agree. I think they also shouldn't have changed it. Don't get me wrong, Disneyland's is WAAAY better. But I think the older colorful one worked better as an interior queue and Disneyland's works better as an exterior queue. But that's just me. I also miss the fountains.

No, I absolutely agree with you and I was thinking the exact same thing. They shouldn't have changed it. It was really nice and pretty before. Like you said, the clock face facade just doesn't look right inside with that blue wallpaper on the back. The fountains were very pretty. There was no need to change that.

@Yert3 BTW, I LOVE your avatar. The Rescuers is in my top five favorite Disney movies. It's so underrated but it's so darn good. I could quote The Rescuers and sing the songs all day.

Thank you. I drew that myself. Tomorrow is Another Day is probably my all time favorite Disney song. Heh, most people have probably never heard of it.

What's funny is I've sketched Bianca myself, HAHA. Maybe I'll sketch Bernard one day. You did a great job, BTW! Very well done, I can't tell the difference. That is definitely one of my favorites, too. That's my mom's favorite as well. Any Disney fan who doesn't know that song should be punished! LOL, just kidding, but still. I love The Journey and Someone's Waiting for You, but they can be a little depressing sometimes. Tomorrow is Another Day is more uplifting.

Thank you! Every song in that movie is just very well done. The funny part about it is I couldn't decide to make Bernard brown or gray. I don't know why but in the first movie he switches colors. He's brown most of the time so that's the color I chose. But then he's gray the whole time in DU. WTH?

A few seconds later...

Your welcome! Wow, I've never noticed the color change. For the most part he is brown most of the time. I'm going to watch it again.

The Florida Queue used to look like this until 2004:

Now it looks similar to Disneyland's:

The original inside area looked much better.

The new indoor looks sterile, uninviting. Shades of white look great outside, in the sun. Inside, you run the risk of looking like a dentist's waiting room.

WDW is its own product, with its own aesthetics, its own artistry. As with all copied art, when WDW copies DL the result is always disappointing. Nearly always ends up with a watered down version that to begin with is never as good as the original, and lacks the character and vibrancy of a product that is the expression of its own artistic identity.

Rolly Crumb's Mary Blair-inspired IASW façade belongs in California. Leave it to DL, where it belongs. WDW's Mary Blair is found in the mosaic in the Contemporary, which in turn would be pointless for DL to try to copy-paste a lite version of for their Grand Californian.


Also, the Rescuers is awesome.

I prefer the colored IASW, as well.

But I'm dying to see the DL IASW...and other DL things, too.

The only thing that happens in the florida version is the soilders open up with the drums. No parade.

Wow- it's been so long that my brain has repressed all of this. I had a 12.5 year WDW hiatus and I remember thinking "something looks different" and now I know I wasn't crazy. Love it!!!

I love the old colors. Best part is polynesia and all the signs at the end.
