AA, no way that goes. it would be a blow to the parks image. Maybe they felt Peter Pan could not be tampered with? and that's why they did the queue only.

Peter Pan's limited refurb was due to budget.
gotcha. I thought there was more to it.

Well, I think Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain need to stay just for their theming.
Space Mountain, maybe a new track layout, but keep it.
I also think that any ride primarily for children 7 and under are untouchable, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, Prince's Carousel, the Tea Cups,
Dumbo, and Flying Carpets. Like it or not kid's love those rides and I believe that MK should be more about making children happy than giving adults another thrill ride. Just my opinion.

NONE......so long as they get a worthwhile replacement, which Disney struggles to do.

-Big Thunder Mountain
-Haunted Mansion
-Pirates
Epcot
-Test Track
Hollywood Studios
-Tower of Terror
-Rock N Roller Coaster
-Star Tours
Animal Kingdom
-Dinosaur
-Expedition Everest
-The safari ride
The only way the ones I chose got replaced all together and not for a simple retheme would be due to either the ride constantly breaking down or it cost too much to run.

I doubt that Disney would get rid of Pooh. It's too popular an attraction. Not sure about Buzz: I can see why some might think it'd be replaced what with all the Toy Story going on at the Studios, but it's pretty popular too.
And sadly, I doubt Stitch is going anywhere anytime soon.

There's obviously quite a few rides that are in need of a good refurb/update but as for rides that absolutely have no shot of being completely replaced any time soon?
MK:
PotC
Splash Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain
Haunted Mansion
Peter Pan's Flight
It's a Small World
The Little Mermaid
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Carousel
Dumbo
Space Mountain
(I'd like to put Carousel of Progress here but I'm afraid I couldn't do that with 100% certainty. :/)
EPCOT:
Spaceship Earth
Test Track (Though Lord knows it probably should be replaced after this last update.)
Soarin'
Reflections of China
The American Adventure
Impressions de France
O' Canada (The shows are essentially cheap people eaters, don't see them going anywhere soon, and that's good.)
DHS:
Tower of Terror
Rock'n' Roller Coaster (Not going anywhere, I could potentially see a band/theme change but they won't do that until after SW/Toy Story)
The Great Movie Ride (Thank God. It was getting scary there for a while)
Toy Story Midway Mania
(But let's be honest, DHS needs to basically keep everything they have for the next 5 years or so.
AK:
Kilimanjaro Safaris
Festival of the Lion King
Expedition Everest
Obviously, a lot more is going to be kept than what I have on here. But these are the sure-things.

Big Thunder Mountain
Haunted Mansion

So you want just one spot for a meet and greet so the lines can be super long? Okay then.

People keep mentioning the Carousel of Progress, but that one has historically been on the chopping block and miraculously survived.
