Where in the World is Bob Saget?

[MOXOMUMD]

Well darn.
Fireworks are way more fun when you share the experience with friends.

The mask.

He also wore it for a while during the reception, going from table to table, scaring the wits out of people.
My dad was awesome like that.

Jennifer, that's an amazing picture! Your dad had a great sense of humor, and I think some of that gift of comedy has also rubbed off on you, too! You've said some very funny things here from time to time. Even Goofyernmost is challenged, trying to keep up with the quips you dole out to him! HA!

Okay, back from the Frozen thread.
A couple of thoughts that I have no intention of sharing over there:

- I am less upset over this than the Poly desecration.

- Disney sits on a hot property forever, they get lambasted.
- Disney jumps all over a hot property, they get crucified.

- Maelstrom needed help. Way more than a general clean up. It certainly wasn't going to happen any time soon without a pressing reason.

- And darn it all, Epcot needs more rides - not "attractions", actual rides.

- Maybe it will turn out to be fun. They might do a superb job. Only time will tell.

- Now, while they're at it, add some rides to existing countries - uh hmmm ... river ride in Germany. Heck, the building is already there, is it not? Bullet train in Japan.

- Add a couple more countries while they're at it. The space exists. Top of my wish list - Greece, Australia, Polynesia, and "Africa" (not a specific country, but a nod to the culture). Heck, they've modelled entire resorts to the last two, but no "country" in World Showcase. And yes, I know Morocco is located in Africa, but like Egypt, it seems more mid-eastern in its culture, religion, and language.

Flame away, I don't care. At least you guys are my friends, and not likely to be insulting.

I'd be fine with Australia.

- Equally torqued about both.

- - It always seems to be a timing and/or placement thing with them. The timing is pretty darn good on this one, but, the placement sucks, IMO. But, repurposing will get maximum return on minimal investment.

- Pretty sure something like this may have been put on the table quite a while ago. They knew they were gonna' have to do something about it at some point in the relatively near future. As a result, they let it languish to see how the movie would do. Either way, they looked at it as a win/win. They could then either announce a grand refurb of a classic, or a "new" attraction based on their latest cash cow.

- Agreed. I just wish that whatever they do, they would stick to the stated original intent of the park.

- I would like to ride, at some point, at my convenience, just to see how it turned out. One and done.

- Actually, only the queue/loading portion of the building were ever completed, not the entire show building.

- Yes, more countries would be good. But, again, only if they get back to original intent and not convolute them.

And, that's all I've got to say about that...

My dad's reaction: "Well, it can't be any worse than Test Track". He's probably right

Agree with you on the additional countries. Although Africa exists in AK. I'd like Spain.

OK, so a little more...

Case in point.
There is nothing, IMO, educational or entertaining about the TT "refurb".

They could just call it "Tron: The Ride." Or they could turn all the lights off and have Space Mountain: Part 2.

Hahaaa...!
Either works for me...!

Same here. But my thought was not "Woo Hoo."

 

[StarWarsGirl]

64 pages already on the Frozen thread? Not wild about the idea, but geez...

 

[MOXOMUMD]

That is such a cute picture!

This is the first year in awhile we haven't gone to MNSSHP. (due to the cruise) I usually take my daughter for her BD which is 9/28, but we but always would do the major celebrating at WDW. I've been trying to work in some Halloween stuff to celebrate in my area. Boo At The Zoo and seeing The Box Trolls top of the list.

I wish they would just go fully embrace that TT is a Tron ride and add Jeff Bridges to it. The Dude would really tie the attraction together.

After the last few months, both the cool and wet are welcome here...

 

[donaldtoo]

Yep, just plop a coupla' Animatronics of his character in there, like they did with Jack in Pirates.

The same thing happened to Main Street USA. I can't believe the wonderful individual shops that have disappeared, simply to be replaced by one ginormous shop extending the whole block.

Ha!
This was part of a short discussion I had with youngest DD (19) last night. Although she was raised on Disney and loves it, she doesn't love it like our other 2 kiddos do.
We can have some fun discussions about TWDC that aren't all Pixie-dusted.

 

[donaldtoo]

I never realized it either! I guess they should have made it more obvious - it was kinda tucked away in the corner! I would walk out of that last big store on that side of Main Street and then pretty much cut across the circle going straight towards the exit...

We visited it on every trip.
Then it was closed for our 2012 trip.

I got rid of my piano a few years ago. I used it as a release more than for enjoyment. If I was stressed I'd pick a song that required pounding the keys. That is the only time I miss it.

Same for me with my guitars. I'm only down to one now (my first one), and can't even remember the last time I picked it up.

 

[donaldtoo]

Since it's raining, my usual TSSFFBR became an uncharacteristic TSSTSBR...!

Did you leave Texas for the day?
