Don't laugh but.....

[Laurie528]

On my recent trip to disneyworld I decided to go on It's a small world after all, now, I understand that this is a thrill ride, but I thought it would be easy enough for me to tolerate. Well was I wrong! From the minute I started walking down the ramp I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, but I just gritted my teeth and boarded the boat anyway. As it began to move I ended up having a full blown panic attack. This was the most horrendous ride I had ever been on in my life.(i'm serious, i'm not a thrill seeker) I can't believe people take small children on this ride. Thoughts just kept racing through my head of being attacked by these dolls, or possibly falling off the boat and being decapitated by the so called track. By the time we reached the tropical scenese I almost fainted. I just could not wait to get off this ride. But I made it through it and I am proud of that. Thanks for listening I know its sounds silly but its true, and I just needed to get it off my chest.:(

[WeLoveDisney]

Were you the woman I saw crying on Tomorrowland Transit Authority?

[gepetto]

Weren't you the 2 sisters complaining about the GF concierge on the resort board?

[PoohSizedDH]

If IASW had you in a full blown panic attack.. one question comes to mind... HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET INTO MAGIC KINGDOM??

If the small boat had you out of it, what would the BIG boat do to you?

And I hate to even fathom how you did on the Monorail...

[Fantasia Sam]

:( Laurie

Just out of interest though what rides did you enjoy in the MK or the other parks for that matter - it must pretty diffiuclt for you if you found IASW a "thrill" ride.

[montessori]

The original post is meant to be a joke, isn't it? http://216.40.241.68/contrib/sarge/Looking_anim.gif

Like having a panic attack on the trolly ride.

omigod... So it was Laurie that started the lawsuit that eventually caused the closing of the Carosel of Progress (I knew that dog was too ferocious....)

[montessori]

It's a joke, right?

[LoriKobz]

I saw a woman who was seemingly having a panic attack and was crying while waiting for XS Alien Encounter on Wednesday, August 14th. I felt so bad, and truely sympathized as my son would have done the exact same thing if we had made him go on. I just wondered why she would have even attempted this attraction, since there were so many other things to do.

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

If you look at her past posts, they contridict themselves. She is to be at POR 8-16-8-24(today is 8-21). In fact the GF concierge post was written on 8-10 after 8 days there.:confused:

[WeLoveDisney]

She was at POR 8/16 - 8/24 of LAST year

[mrsdash]

OK.............I really needed a good laugh today!!!!!mrsdash;)

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

:o That explains that!

[Ned Land]

Folks,

Laurie is a patient of mine and got a hold of my computer. Please disregard her posts. She did not take her medication today. I apologize for the problem.

Dr. Ned Land

[figmentvi]

This thread is hysterical !!!! I love it !!!

:p :p :p

[cindyfan]

Better be careful..........
I have seen those dolls in other attractions in the other parks!!!:p
Like the boat ride in Mexico!!!! :eek:
Yikes........they have something about BOATS!!!!
Now I really need to look at who is driving the ferry to MK!!!!!:p
It might be one of those DOLLS!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

[LunarLady]

What if Laurie is the SANE one and all the rest of us are just deluded...Hmmm???

Or maybe if she's INSANE, it's often said that the autistic and insane frequently catch subliminal things regular people would not. (Such as the Dutch doll with the knifeblade sticking out of the end of her wooden shoe)

Just some food for thought. BTW, I think this thread is hilarious too! :D

[eeyore0062]

i cry on the bus ride in

With some of those drivers, I can easily understand that!...lol!!!

[BRERALEX]

this threads gonna get longr then the parks game thread lol

[WeLoveDisney]

I'm going to MK with my teenage children. I hope It's A Small World Afterall isn't too intense for them.

Laurie, Do you think they'll make the height limit?
LOL

[montessori]

It's a joke, right? http://www.smilies-world.de/Smilies/Smilies_klein_1/nixweiss.gif

[leelee1971]

Did anyone ever notice that door in the middle of the ride (it's off to the right)? Maybe HER boat made that right-hand turn instead, and slipped off into an alternate Disney universe...Bizarro Disney where those dolls come alive and attack...

[dwbakerjr]

montessori asks 'its a joke, right?'... If only it were. Unforturantely its a trip to another dimension, beyond that of sight and sound to one of mind; a frightening trip into realms of fantasy and shrouded visions not seen in this veil; Laurie's journey may well end up as one that only she can travel, because as we all are aware, sometimes the path is wide enough for only the chosen few to travel, into the SmallWorldZone...

:eek:

[eleanor]

It,s the song that makes us go mad and delusional.

[montessori]

Don't you go trying to scare me now, DWBaker! http://www.fadzter.com/smilies/eek.gif

[dwbakerjr]

There is just one moon,
And one golden sun,
And a smile means friendship to ev'ryone,
Tho the oceans are wide,
And the mountains divide,
Its a Small World After All.

I've SEEN that door!!!!!! :earseek:

Now it all makes sense.... her boat went through that door into a parallel "Evil" Disney universe!

[cindyfan]

It's a world of laughter,
A world of tears.
It's a world of hope,
and a world of fears.
There's so much that we share,
That it's time we're aware....
IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL!

It's a small world...........(c'mon folks.....sing along! :jester: )


It IS the SmallWorldZone!!!:jester: :jester: :jester: :jester:

I think I've been THROUGH that door!!!!:eek:

[WeLoveDisney]

I'm Laurie's real life sister. I actually had to sit with her on this ride (even though she's 29 I had to hold her hand). She thought those Hawaiin dolls were hiding weapons under their grass skirts.


:jester:

[Distriv]

All the dolls just stare at you.....

[kaabost]

.......as though you guys didn't know that all of those dolls are controlled by the un-happy haunts that got kicked out of the haunted mansion. Sure they act happy, making the dolls sing cheerfully, they're just baiting you....making you comfortable so that you will be easy prey. Moohoohoohahahahaha:mad:

[Higgs22]

...and to think all this time that little frowning clown at the end with his "Help" sign was not a joke after all...

He was being held hostage by the rest of the dolls...I think we should join up with the resistance and FREE THAT CLOWN!!!

He's asking for our help after all...LIBERATE THE SAD CLOWN!!!

Okay.... I'm not sure the grass skirts are a threat; but what about those kilts???

:rolleyes: Nevermind.


BTW -- Heck with the clown -- He's the mastermind!

[SnowAngel]

I always knew there was something suspicious about those dolls. They look too happy to be true. They are hiding the secrets to take over the world and Laurie really knows the truth not us. She is smart to be afraid .. very afraid :earseek:
The dolls are not to be trusted.. Spread the world so the truth can be known.. The clown knows too and wants out!!
:p :p :p :p

Actually my 5 yo dd and had a fit as we were about to go on the ride and would not go on. She was scared to death. Dh had to take her out of the que. :confused:

[GeorgeG]

One year we got stuck on Small World in the area with all the drums (Africa?) for 45 minutes. While not exactly in a panic attack, that normally delightful tune grew old quick. I think we were still hearing it on Space Mountain...

[wdisneelvr]

I will never be able to go on that ride without thinking about this thread now.

Ya'll crack me up!!!!!!


:p :p :p :p :p :p :p

[DisneyAlly]

Sorry Laurie, but I am getting my morning laugh!!!
LOL LOL LOL

You guys have been watching too much CHUCKY!!!

[scarlett873]

i'll be there in about 2 weeks...i'll be sure to look for that door! and i'll cross my fingers that we don't get sucked through it!! i always thought those dolls had it in for me...


lol

[Jackie H.]

OK! I have totally lost it....the people in my office are looking at me strangely because I am laughing so hard. I'm crying I am laughing so hard!

I don't think I will ever look at It's A Small World the same again. What has been simply a nice cool rest (the only thing that made it worthwhile), now I will be laughly hysterically through the whole thing thinking of this thread! My family will think I have flipped.

[dwbakerjr]

Has anyone ever noticed how crowded the lines are going IN to Small World, but how many FEWER people there are exiting.??

hmmm...

[aring75]

I think dwbakerjr has found the answer!!!

People are being turned into animatronic Disney dolls!!!!

Aha . . . that's how they keep opening new parks and such. Disneyland Paris . . . Disneyland Tokyo . . . is anyone else detecting a trend???

[MAC3]

hmmm...

omg, Disney with a dark side!

This is the best!!! I wonder if it is even better during MNNSHP. Now I really can't wait. I knew there had to be something possessing us all to continually return. It's those dolls. Little chucky's from every country It's like the land of the Stepford Children!

[wdwoldtimer]

That's exactly right! Ever notice how the rear seats are often empty at the end of the ride, when you swear there were a bunch of kids back there when you embarked on the "happy" journey?

I heard this story from a couple ex-CMs who worked the ride. There is a secret society of evil dolls that have infiltrated the Small World rides at each of the parks. Disney is working with the law enforcement agencies in the US, Paris and Asia, but the battle has been waging for years without any success. They evil dolls are smart. They mix with the real dolls. It is virtually impossible to tell them apart. What they do is stand there in the ride with those fake smiles on their faces, lulling you into a sense of cheerfulness and calm. Then as your boat passes, three or four of them slip silently into the water and grab unsuspecting passengers from their seats and pull them under. The victims are dragged away and undergo one of two processes. Some are bound and kept under the water for months until they shrink, after which their faces are painted with a smile and they are surgically nailed to the floor with iron rods, along with the other dolls. After a day or two of the music, they go insane, and thus become new members in the evil doll clan. Some vicitms are processed into food which DOES include a beheading, Laurie528's fears were correct. Occasionally they will commandeer an entire boat and direct it into the place CM's refer to as "The Cave". On rare occasions the evil dolls fail in their mission to snag the food source or the new members, which is why they have placed that smiling crocodile with the umbrella in the ride. Depending on the situation, this smiling croc will snatch the escapee or simply devour the entire boat in one bloody mess.

This is apparently a serious problem for Disney, but they are keeping it all hush hush. You should be very afraid on this ride. It is a very very bad place.

[Higgs22]

I agree with OT...this problem has been covered up by Disney for some time...and is directly responsible for the decline in attendance...have of the people are dissapearing on IASW...This ride must be shut down before those dolls break out and take over all of the MK!!!!!

[WebmasterBarry]

Haven't you seen "Spy Kids?" The good guy agents were turned into funny creatures by the bad guy. They were forced to be in the bad guy's TV show. It's a Small World is the same. Any bad guests get turned into dolls and have to stay in the attraction forever...ever...ever...ever... :)

[dwbakerjr]

hmmm (the same hmmm again)...

...bad guests into dolls... international ambiance... happens in groups...

maybe (just maybe) this is a marvelously devious CM's way of dealing with the unruly Brazilian tour groups....

hmmmm...

[Peg]

Good for the CM's (of course I'm never going on that ride again!):p

Peg

[dwbakerjr]

Oh, Peg.. read further back in the post. You can ride without any trepidation; just dont sit in........

................THE LAST SEAT ON THE LEFT..............

[tnkrbell]

LOL LOL :D When I was 3 1/2 I REALLY was scared to death of this ride!!!!!!! So its even funnier to me!!:D

[dwbakerjr]

'was'.... did she say 'was'... oh, boy, Tink, don't take this too lightly. I heard an advert for a movie here lately (Scooby, I think) that expressed it so very well....

"Be afraid... be kind of afraid...."

[WebmasterBarry]

You know, aren't there dolls eating turkey legs and cans of corn in the ride? If there is, I will die a happy man. :)

[Peg]

:( dw.....I..I..I always turn to the left:confused: Help me.....................:eek: must stay away from the back...must stay away from the back!!!!!

Now I know why you want to take me on this ride Barry.

[WillyJ]

Next time take a few softballs in with you. . .

;)

[WebmasterBarry]

I think we ought to overload the boat with 10 Sumo wrestlers. Then we will see what happens! :)

I thought WillyJ would have a IASW conspiracy revealed story. He had so much information on corn!

[WebmasterBarry]

Imagine this...

You see the emu farm for the turkey legs on the bus to TTA. Near City Hall, you see a couple sharing a can of corn. Then you ride IASW and while waiting, you see boats going in full and then coming out empty. Then you ride and become a doll in the Russian scene!

The horror...the horror...

:jester:

[April76]

Those AREN'T turkey legs!!!!! :earseek:

[Talky_Tina]

You better be nice to me.

[WebmasterBarry]

Haven't you seen the emu in It's a Small World? :)

[cindyfan]

OMG............LOL.........
Talky_Tina.....I just realized where you got your board name and who the picture was!!!!:eek: LOL.......
We just saw that episode of Twilight Zone about 3 weeks ago.......well actually, saw it a VERY LONG time ago, but hadn't seen it in a while!!!!

Watch out for Tina and Chuckie!!!!!!!!:eek:

[wdwoldtimer]

Talky Tina is the ring leader of the Evil IASW dolls!!

"My name is Talky Tina, and I don't think I like you."

Maybe they should rename IASW to the "Twilight Zone Waterway of Evil, Starring Talky Tina".

[BostonTigger]

Yes, yes, I...I....I remember those dolls when I was only 2, and yyyes they wanted to eat me. *sob sob sniff sniff* Where's my hanky?

[WebmasterBarry]

You think IASW is scary?

The monorail ride is the true thrill ride at WDW! First some dude says something in Spanish that I do not know. I think it will be, "Don't even think about escaping -- blades will shoot from the seats and impale you!" As we pass the MK gates, I fear baboons will leap onto our monorail and pound open the glass. Then some guy twirls his moustache and ties a fair madien to the tracks. I fear UFOs will fly from the sky, shoot laser beams, and blow up the supports!

Man, I was so terrified that my hands shook, my heart pounded, I had shortness of breath, my hair grew, my eyes looked, my ears picked up every sound, gravity held me to the ground, the earth revolved around the sun, my feet pounded on the floor, and a birdie sang a delightful tune. I am never taking the monorail again! I will depend on the free shuttle buses from the No-Tell 6. The bus drivers are hung over, but at least UFOs aren't attacking us!

:jester:

[MAC3]

Man I need to read more! Swashbuckling guys tying maidens to the track. Baboons? You guys are hillarious. I hope this thread never dies! Even if just for entertainment purposes only!!

[WeLoveDisney]

The scariest Disney ride I've ever been on is the Jungle Cruise. Wow, it seemed like we were gone for about 2 weeks on this horrendous trek down dangerous jungle rivers. Let me tell you, we were chased by hippos, squirted by elephants, and even saw some cannibals. And all this time our jungle guide seemed to be making a joke of it all. That was just sick!

The shrunken heads were the worst! And, some natives were actually selling them (will Disney stop at nothing to increase revenues?) Just when I thought we were safe, we navigated around the back side of this waterfall and I held my breath until I turned blue to avoid drowning.

I will never go on this ride again!

[SnowAngel]

Mac3.. this is no joke!! You must take care.. look beneath the surface. There is the terror.
Be afraid.. Be sort of afraid
You may entire the zone and will never be seen from again.
Ask my 5yo who ran screaming from IASW. She knew and taught me the truth. Go to know what they are doing but be aware. The boats go where no one has been before with rembering

You guys are jogging my long lost memories............(or long lost mind;) ) I seem to recall entering a large sphere where I was told to take someone by the hand and keep moving..we were herded like little sheep into some type of moving shuttle..and wisked (rather slowly) into the darkness..all around me was stange music..suddenly a soothing voice started telling us that we were going on a grand and miraculous journey, trying to distract my mind from what was really happening!!!!! IT IS MIND CONTROL!! Strange though...It really looked like MORE people came out then went in...hummmmmmmmmmmm
sob...sob...whimpering softly.. (well maybe sloppily)..why are you making me remember all this!!!!!!!!!!!!!Does EPCOT really mean..oh no...not..EmployPeopleCloningOccultismTechniques (or some such nonsense):p

I know all of this thread will be stuck in my head next month when I'm at WDW. When I bust out laughing and start rolling on the floor I'm going to tell them that it is not my fault at all. The fault belongs to each and every one of you!!!! ;) I will probably scare the little kiddies when I start laughing hysterically! :crazy:

[WebmasterBarry]

I think calling for PS reservations for Cindy's is the scariest thrill ride ever. First I pick up the phone, not knowing if someone with Malaria had sneezed in it. Then I dial the phone number, not knowing if I'm going to dial up someone, wake him up, and have him spew obscenties at me. I wait for an answer and listen to IASW hold music for 15 minutes. I fear I may be the next one to become a doll! Finally, I get to someone and he says sorry, there are no reservations available. I fear my kids and I will cry over this loss!

:jester:

[WDW Poly Princess]

Pft, you guys are all overlooking the most obvious answer here! All you have to do to be immune from the Evil Doll Attacks is have a nice refreshing glass of Small World Water before you start!

[disneyispi]

To Laurie and her sister,

I'm sorry. I've read all the posts on this thread as well as on the GF Board re: your horrific stay at GF. I'm apologizing because I WAS hoping "our" little secret with ISAW would remain just that - "our" secret but Laurie has figured out our evil plan. Originally, we thought it would be "quite" ingenious. The dolls are meant to mesmerize you, to distract you, so that the :mad: dolls can sneak up behind unsuspecting guests and.........SEIZE THEM. (we learned our tactics from Martha Stewart , IMCLONE, and Enron). Anyhow, I feel it is my duty to explain this to you. We must come clean. We must make full disclosure since rumor-mongering will just make matters worse. Georgina and Roger have authorized me to make "full disclosure".

As to what happens to the "guests" that our programmed dolls seize, that's easy to explain. They are sent to the RPC at GF, where they are told to treated guests as they themselves have been treated.

Sort of comes full circle now, doesn't it. I hope this explanation is satisfactory. And we thank you for allowing us to dispel the fiction from the facts. Thank you Laurie.

[Joy from Illinois]

My personal tragedy was that that blasted song just keeps playing and playing in my head. I'm going to sue for disability because I now unconsciously hum it all the time and have been beaten senseless by my coworkers who can't stand it anymore. They should post signs warning that the song may be too intense for sensitive music lovers and can result in battering about the head when hummed or sung later.

[WebmasterBarry]

Ever ride the new Journey into Imagination? I rode it 2 months ago and I still have the "E-ma-ge-nation, e-ma-ge-nation" stuck in my head!

[Eeyore1954]

From the song stylists at the Comedy Warehouse (Pleasure Island) -- don't know if they still do this song or not-- but it's to the tune of IASW --

You will stand in lines
That are five miles long
Just to sit in rides
With annoying songs
We will give you a thrill
Then we'll sock you with the bill!
It's a wonderful world!

Hmmm....do you think the IASW dolls are the inspiration for Star Trek’s Borg Collective...
I can hear it now:
“We are the Borg Dolls. Life as you know it is now over. Lower your Mouse Ears and prepare to be assimilated. Resistance is Futile!”

Resist the IASW Collective....save yourselves from assimilation!!

[dwbakerjr]

ooooh... There is just one ride
When you're seeking rest,
From oppressive heat,
And the constant stress,
And while you're senses are numbed,
You can be overcome,
By the Small World Afterallllllll...

Its a Small World After All,
Its a Small World After All,
Its a Small World After All,
(Soon it will be) a Small Small World......

Don't know how I managed to miss this thread for so long.:D This explains why my 3yo nephew started screaming when he saw my Small World photos. The very young can sense the terror.

Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me..........

[WebmasterBarry]

Imagine this -- the Pirates of the Caribbean vs. the IASW dolls. Now that would be a ride worth riding! :)

[Higgs22]

My money's on the dolls...all those pirates have are some fake cannons...

The dolls have that evil song, a numbers advantage, and a plot to rule the entire world, not just one oceanside village...

IASW Dolls of the Carribean...I shudder at the thought....

[ksdave]

Did you ever notice how many people come out of COP looking like zombies? Or how about the Hall of Presidents? What is it that Eisner is doing to these peoples' minds? Hmmmmmmmmm...

[aring75]

What about the Maelstrom!!!!

That ride IS terrifying! Those trolls are what happens when BAD tourists get siezed. So when you inevitably come across that rude person who just about ruins your day. . .

. . . just tell them they should go ride Maelstrom. . .


. . . and sit in back.

[dwbakerjr]

I can see it now, in a TV special featuring the Disney Channel and Comedy Central Battlebots....

"In the blue square, from Its A Small World, the Frowning Clown from the Balloon. And in the red square, from Pirates of the Carribean, the Scimitar wielding Buccaneer. The box is locked! The lights are on! Its Battle-Doll time!!!

I am NOT Kidding!

We even reported him to the transportation manager. I have never been scared on a WDW bus in my life ... but he had me praying for a safe landing.

What if there was a drunk monorail driver? There isn't much swerving involved. He can go back and forth a lot though. :)

[disneyispi]

This thread needed to be bumped up.........we need to warn everyone about IASW. EVERYONE needs to be afraid, be VERY afraid:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Pete's Mom]

I clicked on her profile and this was her last post!! Yikes, maybe "they" GOT HER! :eek:

[dwbakerjr]

omigosh, PM, you may be right.

I read in another post somewhere about 'new additions' to the IASW decor....

The horror...............................

Where's her sister? Did they get her also??? :eek:

[dwbakerjr]

Her 'sister' is WeLoveDisney, who posted on 8-24 about the terror of riding the Jungle Cruise (why in heavens name would anybody take that horrific ride...brrrrrrr). Anyhow, havent seen her posts since. Might have to ride JC one more time to look for her as well.....

Oh, the humanity of it all....... arghhhhhhhhh

[WeLoveDisney]

Yes, I'm stuck here on the Jungle Cruise! A charging rhino chased me and a few of my friends up a totem pole. My poor friend Juan is on the bottom and that sick guide circles by every few minutes talking about the rhino making a "hole in Juan".

I havent seen Laurie in about a week, but I did hear about a new hula dancer in a grass skirt in IASW that bears a resemblance to her.......

[dwbakerjr]

It is so good to see that you have returned WLD, and my sincerest condolences for the distressing news about Laurie (altho I think you know how sincere my sincerest can be). Please, please, exercise caution when visiting any of the demonatronic (oooops) I mean, animatronic attractions from now on. Try something calming, like the ExtraTerrorestrial or the TOT next time.

glad your back {{hugs}}

:cool:

[April76]

***** WARNING*****]

Every time I read through these threads I find myself humming the music from IASW.... it plays OVER and OVER and OVER again as I try to fall asleep!!!!!!!!!!!! :crazy:

I'm beginning to think that this whole thread is a well thought out plot by those dolls to take over our minds..... THEY put Laurie up to starting this thread.... SHE IS ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!!

:earseek:

[ShannonP]

and I thought I was bad when "The Land" ride at EPCOT freaked me out. After exiting, I immediately needed a junk food fix...yep, a Mickey bar, that's it...all those frightening healthy veggies...ugh!!!! I almost needed medical assistance after Food Rocks...

[Talky_Tina]

Yes, your suspicions are correct. Laurie has become .....

one of usssssssssssssssssssssssss.


As for the rest of her family...

"My name is Talky Tina.... and I'll be watching you."

[PamNC]

All I can say is...I'm confused. surely it's a joke, right? It's just impossible for someone to be afraid of dolls at Small World. Now, what you should be afraid of is the price of a coke.

PamNC

[dandave]

Now I've heard (can't be sure, of course) that all GF concierge CMs are required to ride IASW prior to employment there. Perhaps it's true, perhaps it's not. That could explain a great deal, however.

[Higgs22]

Just an idle thought....do you think all of the creatures in Splash Mountain are also wayward guests...sort of the overflow from IASW...

Once they have filled their quota of IASW dolls...they ship em over to SM...and make them sing that Zip A Dee Doo Dah song over and over and over...pure torture...


And it also makes me wonder about the Hall of Presidents...

There might be a vast consipracy here....the media should be notified!!!!

[April76]

Even the Grim Grinning Ghosts are hitchhiking their way out of WDW!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT should tell us all something :earseek:

[disneyispi]

As an official of the U.S. Government, let me make "one thing perfectly clear, there is NO conspiracy afoot at the Hall of Presidents!" As for the GF concierge CMs and IASW rides, as I posted earlier Georgina Sussan had advised (during a "classified" meeting of Disney execs) that over-exuberant concierge CMs were quickly trained in the GF way - they are required to ride IASW 3 times in a row. That cures their willingness and helpfulness to guests forever. It certainly beats Prozac and Lithium (as was prescribed originally for GF CMs, and saves on the Master Health Plan for CMs).

[SQUIGGLE]

When you get to MK do you ever get the feel that you HAVE to ride IASW? I now wonder where that feeling comes from. Hmmmmmm ;)

[MAC3]

Yes I do say that I do have the urge to ride IASW, I think it's subliminal messages they have strategically placed around the park. Kinda like the way they pipe in the smells to make you want to go buy a turkey leg, popcorn, cotton candy, ect, ect ect,

Talk about your conspiracy theory.... Eisners a genius he gets us to come to him spend our money then turns us into dolls to work the park for nothing?

Oh the Horror!

[Laurie528]

sorry it took me so long to get back.... but I just escaped the dolls.. let me tell you all it wasn't easy. They had just started to trust me so they let their guard down.. In the attic is where I was held. They're were these two little girl dolls that kept appearing saying "come play with us Laura, come play with us forever and ever and ever"... but, I was able to escape them in the frozen maze.. Once I was there it was indescribable like floating... Yes WE ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE.. but i was able to get through this maze by following the scent of fresh cooked turkey legs.. I found that strange door on the right and as i burst through it i could hear the little hula dancer yelling to another kill her mommy kill her. Thank God I had my inhaler.... as she came at me i yelled this is battery acid and sprayed her with it and she died...for now... I am so upset that this happened to me.. Just like Disneyispi I am unable to divulge any more information at this time... but just let me tell you all how happy i am to be home.;) ;) ;)

[JustcallmeBelle]

I tend to believe that the post by Laurie is not real either, and if it is, I'm sorry girl but you have some serious issues within..
If Small World had her flustered and hyperventillating I'd hate to be next to her on Peter Pan's Flight or Space Mountain..She has got to be kidding..Small World happens to be one of the cutest and most loved rides in the MK..Don't know anything to recommend for her to see or experience because somehow the Magic of it all has eluded her..:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

[WeLoveDisney]

Laurie,
How many of those late night horror movies have you watched? I bet when you were floating out to safety there was soft music playing and then a gruesome hand came up and got you, too.

Are you sure we're related?

[Aly]

Omg! it's a small world is one of the rides i consider a nice place to cool off and relax....the only thing i'm afraid of is getting that song stuck in my head...and i'm 13!

[SQUIGGLE]

WeLove Disney - can you be certain that is the REAL Laurie? It's possible THEY are getting bolder and coming out among us????

:eek:

[Little Pooh]

Has anyone contacted Mulder and Scully yet? I think we all need professional help on this one!;) I'm not riding until I know for sure its safe.:bounce:

[disneyispi]

bump up

[disneyispi]

As stated previously, I am an official with the U.S. Government, and can assure you all that even th' Mulder and Scully have been canceled, they have found new and happy homes being, uh, "official" CMs for WDW. Perhaps you will see them, the next time you travel through IASW......:eek: :eek: THEY AR VERY HAPPY THERE - Mulder especially likes the opportunity to "reach out" to others and explain his views of "aliens among us." His message is especially clear when listening to the IASW soundtrack at least 13 times and then taken at a slower pace - some say, Mulder's message could be considered "subliminal." I will investigate this matter personally when I am there, and you can be assured I will take this matter up with them as well as GF management at that time, as well. Hope this clears up all the misconceptions I have seen posted. In short, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DENIES ALL KNOWLEDGE AND INVOLVEMENT IN THESE MATTERS.

[dwbakerjr]

Now, I for one, believe that this is the real Laurie, returned to us from the SmallWorldZone (how else could she possibly have so much 'inside' info on the behavior of the 'dolls'.. <I use the term loosely>). Welcome back to the realm of the normal, Laurie (paranoid maybe, but relatively normal...). A little slack people; Laurie528 made it back from IASW and WeLove Disney barely escaping from the Jungle Cruise.. A little empathy is in order here.....

[wnb428]

but, but, I LIKE its a small world....

I dont care....

dang the animatronics and secret doors.... its cool in there, and I get to sit down for 10 minits....

I'm off to face my darkest fears.... (and try to cool off a little bit too)...

:D

[BRERALEX]

its a small world after all (please help me)
its a small world after all (help me please)
its a small world after all (help)
its a small world after all (take me out ofmy misery
its a small world after all (stop the ride me)
its a small world after all (shoot me)
its a small world after all (turn off the power please)

[dwbakerjr]

Its astounding, when time is fleeting,
And madness takes its toll.
Just listen closely, to that fanciful music,
Soon, it will take control.

I remember, doing the Small World,
Drinking those moments in,
When the music would hit me,
And the dolls would be calling....

LETS DO THE SMALL WORLD AGAIN!

Its just a step to left,
And then a seat on the riii-iiight,
Put you hands on the rail,
And then hang on tiiiii-iiight..
But its the dancing dolls,
That really drive you insaaaa-ane.

LETS DO THE SMALL WORLD AGAIN...!

I just found out that people that try to escape IASW and get caught are sentenced to finish their time in the.....

TIKI ROOM! :eek: Who could imagine that terror. That song is the worst.

In the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki room...In the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki room...

[wnb428]

Ha!!

I made it back, no probs.

'Its a smalll, small world... da da da da da..'

What the big deal...?.

hmmm?

did you just hear somthing...

[dwbakerjr]

Tulip, I think you left a couple of tiki's out..

Doesn't it go ...

In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room,
In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room,
All the flowers talk, and the birds they croon,
In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room.



Now THAT's what I call classical music....
(but be careful which birds you sit under).

It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a small, small world!!!

It's time to pee once again. It's time to pee once again. It's time to pee once again. It's a small, small world!!

I've laughed so hard at each of these posts, that I would have been better off putting on a "depends undergarment!" I nearly pissed my pants laughing!! This is just way too funny. Thanks for making me laugh harder than I can remember in a very long time!!!!!!

dwbakerjr, I left out some of the Tikis on purpose. If they heard me sing it correctly they would sent Iago & Zazu to come get me to work there again. I don't think I could take that! :eek:

[dwbakerjr]

..point well taken Tulip... my most profound apologies are extended...

I hope I didnt send you spiraling into any near-apoplexic fits (like I find myself in a few times each day).

[Tulip]

It's okay dwbakerjr but now watch out they might be coming for you! :eek:

[dwbakerjr]

just wondering... does anyone know if any of the IASW dolls have names...?

(y'know, so when you're riding you can let them know that you know..... "OK, Chuckie, BACK OFF!!", or something like that....)

[dwbakerjr]

OK, everybody... Its that special day of the year...

Who is going out dressed as an IASW doll...?

[WeLoveDisney]

Hey, dwbakerjr, hi, good to hear from you!

Ooops hold on, my doorbell's ringing....must be some trick or treaters.......uh oh....what's that song I hear on my porch?........oh my god, grass skirts - they've escaped....they're here....help, help!

[Darian]

well at least once a year the veil is lifted and the true, terrible nature of IASW is revealed. At least at the Disneyland version where it gets converted (for the holidays) to the Its a Small World Holiday. There you are treated to Christmas around the world with a zillion extra lights - truly fabulous- and we get to see Santa's reindeer's severed heads stuck on the ends of polynesian pikes. So how would you like your Rudolf steak? Rare or well done? You just ask poor Santa how dangerous that ride is... he'll tell ya, and you can bet you won't be gettin' nuthin but coal for christmas.

Why just ask my poor brother. He couldn't believe it, but before he learned the aweful truth, he got snatched from the boat and now works 24/7 as the "auctioneer pirate" in the Florida PotC. Yeah yeah, bro, tell me again how you aren't spongin' for rum, that its gold yer after... see what happens when you eat a Rudolf steak? Scary....

Laurie I hope your nightmares are fading. I always knew something wasn't quite right with that attraction. Thanks for bringing it out in the open and from now on if I'm forced to ride I shall sit further forward in the boat. Mom in case your reading this...the safest place is the back row on the left side ;)

Thanks to all for the laughs and smiles. What a hoot!

o mi gawd... we are going in march (spring break madness)... you mean they havent sent this horror ridden abomination to the land of 20,000 Leagues yet..?

i can already hear it again..... ...just one moon and one golden sun... hmm hmmm hmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm-hmmm hm hm


arghhhh

:earseek:

[goofyernmost]

I'm so glad that this thread was revived. I missed it the first time but now things are so much more clear. So many unexplainable events are now within the grasp of understanding.

For example, how many of you think that Disney took the Subs away in 20K. It is now clear that they just never came back to the home port. Since then no one has dared to go near the lagoon. What else would explain it's still being there some 8 years after the last sub disappeared. And what exactly is in those, so called, charactor suits. And do you think it was just a coincidence that the SkyBuckets also disappeared. They went over the 20K lagoon as well.

What else would explain the leveling of Horizons and World of Motion and the current topic of gutting Spaceship Earth and replacing it with a "thrill" ride. Not to mention replacing the old Tiki Room with the new one. Uggh! Have they no mercy?

We must give credit to Carousel of Progress and Timekeeper for continuing to hold out and occasionally break free of the oppressor to open up for us.

I remember being there sometime in the 80's and the Catsup was terrible tasting. Now I can see that it was just a form of mind control drug that has forced me to re-enter the Worlds on a regular basis in the hopes that they (whoever they are) will catch me at a weak moment and drag me in to their dimension.

And the worst being the forced purchase of ABC. Now with the weakened financial status of Disney, "they" can completely take over.

I must lie down.

Maybe it was the song. That makes me want to sceam:)

[crusin'minnie]

SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME ON ALL OF YOU I SAY!!!!!!!
I have never seen anything so vicious in my entire life as the way you people have treated poor Laurie.

You have mocked and ridiculed this poor girl and embarassed her to the point of being forced to join in this debaucle herself.
Escape from the dolls...frozen maze...inhaler full of battery acid...
It's pitiful I tell you.

It's OK Laurie. You should not be ashamed that you are scared of IASM. The truth is it scares the bejesus out of alot of us. I applaud your bravery in stepping forth and admitting the truth.

I am from Lousisana and I am here to tell all of you that this is not "Chuckie", or aliens, or any other such nonsense. These are VooDoo dolls that we are dealing with. They have the gris-gris (black magic) and until we can get a witch doctor in here to assess the situation people will continue to be stricken.

I say that all of us out there who have the hair raised on the back of our neck right now at the very thought of that terrifiying ride, rally together. Let's have some fundraisers to pay for the witch doctor to come to WDW.

Are you with me???

You must be pulling a joke on us. This is really a very quiet ride We agree those dolls are too many and that singing can be a little too much but wild it is not.
try the Tower of Terror or Splash mountain.

[Darian]

Yes, I'm afraid its time to contact Stephen King about this. I'm sure he'll have some insight. Ah yes, a Disney horror film.

Delicious.

Be sure and wave at my brother at the Pirates of the Carribbean - the attraction in Florida. He was kidnapped from IASW.

Darian

PS NOOOOO there are NOT enough dolls on IASW !!!! I Love that song... it should be played everwhere in the World... especially in the restrooms

[pointandshoot]

I had a friend who rode IASW with his DD. The boat stopped. But the music kept playing on and on.

The suddenly, it was quiet. The music stopped. But the dolls. Those evil dolls. Their mouths kept moving. It was as if they had something to say but couldn't.

The family returned...but were never quite the same. True story.

If they played it in the bathrooms nobody would go in and then there will big no no MAJOR "flow" problems in disney;)

[dwbakerjr]

Heyyyy.... What a great idea. If we could just get them to play the music in the waiting areas of TOT and GM/TT, think how short the wait would be... (and all you'd have to sacrifice would be your sanity....).

I HATE THE RIDE TO, BUT JUST BECASUE IT'S SO ANNOYING AND THE PROBLEM IS IT'S NOT SCARY.

BUT YOU NEVER KNOW THOSE DOLLS CAN JUMP OUT RIGHT ON YOU AND GET YOU JUST LIKE THAT. YES IT'S A PRETTY SCAREY THING.

I WISH I WAS AFRAID OF IT SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO ON IT LOL!

Hey... Have you seen the new FOX reality series..?

24 people start riding IASM, and the last one not reduced to screaming mindlessly wins...

I hear it takes about 3 episodes (1 ride per episode).... 4 tops...

LOL...that's great :)

[tommyvegas]

This thread is almost a year old,and my frightful story took place 27 years ago. i feel that i can now relate my story as the nightmares are just dim memories now.
it all started in the summer of 1976,my parents decided to take me to WDW for our countrys 200 b-day. i was a mear 10 years old at the time.
of course i was delighted to be in the most magical place on earth and behaved better then any child ever has.
you might as well consider me the best little angel of all time.
that day started out like alll the others,we had ridden many rides,enjoyed many great snacks and were 1 big happy family.
my parents decided to take me on the most exciting thrill ride of all time. "Its A Small World"
little did i know that in the next few mins my life would be affected for the next 20 years.
after entering and being seated on the ride,we began our adventure.
(cold chills running down my spine as i remember)
i was grabbed by the little dolls and pulled from the boat kicking and screaming for my parents,they couldnt hear me because of that song playing over and over,drowning out my words.
i spent the next few weeks in the deep dark depths of the door on the right,being trained to sing and smile for 12 hours at a time.
after what seems like a year,i was installed into the ride during a "closer of the ride to make your next visit more enjoyable" they placed 10 of us from the door on the right into the ride.
at that time i was a former shell of my 10yr old self,no longer able to play and just be a kid.
the years started to blur after that,i never grew any taller,and after a few years i could no longer even move my face,it stayed a smile 24/7/365.
about 10 years into my life in this endless song,i was able to start forming a plan to make my escape.
it took another 10 years,before the knock came at the door and i was able to escape.
a small group of tourists from another country we in a boat when the ride came to a sudden halt.the started shooting pictures of all of us dolls and i knew that my time had come. the flashes from their camera's blinded the keepers of the dolls just long enough for me to unbolt myself and sneek into the back of their boat.
it seemed like 5 hours before the ride started again,and i could see my escape was near.
upon exiting the ride i thought i would be caught when the friendly CM said to us "hope you enjoyed the ride please come again"
but i was able to escape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wondered the park in a daze for about 2 days before i was able to find an exit and leave.i kept getting lost because every door i went through turned out to be another gift shop.
later i learned that i had been trapped in the land of the dolls for 20 years.
it was funny to see a guy who i watched in cowboy movies as the president of the united states.
i still wonder today if maybe the dolls had something to do with that too?
i spent the next 5 years searching for my parents,and only after i returned to the scean of the crime did i find them.they had spent 20 years looking for me after that day,it finelly caught up with them.you can still see then today wondering through out the park searching for me.the are the older couple who walk around in a daze and some times sit at the food stand near POC shooing the birds away as they dive bomb the plate of fries.
it has now been 7 years since i was able to make my escape.the nightmares are gone now,but some times i do break out in "that song" for no reason at all.
the only real problem that has come from the whole horrible nightmare is i still cant move any muscles in my face.i smile at all times.
dont feel sorry for me, this has really helped me in my job as a greeter at wal-mart.
please folks if you do ever ride that ride, hold onto your children,and if the ride stops somewhere in the middle please take as many pics as you can in hopes the the flashes will blind the keepers of the dolls long enough for some other child to escape

[Darian]

I still think it would be gratifying to go skeet shooting in IASW... with the music still playing of course....

[chell]

tommyvegas - I really enjoyed that!

[MAC3]

Welcome back to the world of the living! Glad you escaped tommyvegas! That door to the right:eek: I shutter each time we pass it.

[Higgs22]

Hmmm...the door to the right....maybe THAT'S what happened to my long-lost cousin.....

[Minnie1156]

Small World is one of the most calm ride in the whole park. How could anyone have a panic attack on it. It must be a joke.



"What will be will be" :bounce: :Pinkbounc

[Higgs22]

But that song??? I break out in a sweat just thinking about it.....

[dwbakerjr]

A joke..?

A joke...?????

Oh well, I think we should all just be happy that there are some of us who have not had to suffer thru the anxiety, the stress, the potential terror, and of course the music...

Hakuna Matata, Minnie... no worries....

[sarahandhannahsmom]

Ha! A joke you say.... Thats what I used to think. My poor brother hated IASW but rode it anyway (its airconditioned after all) but when it came time to get off the ride... where the heck was he?!?!? He was gone. He made one too many cracks about how "lame the ride was" and the dolls got him. They were quick too.

Now we only get to see him once a year when we fly out from socal to WDW. Since he has a beard they put him to work in the POTC. He's the new autioneer pirate. Ah well, at least he gets to have some fun with that red head after the stroke of midnight. The poor blighter. Say hello to my lost brother and when you lift yer glass later in the day at the Rose & Crown and don't Old Bill too. (He's the pirate feeding rum to the cats.)

Darian

[ww52]

Do people ever go into Fantasyland without riding IASW? I've always wanted to, but never took the chance. We got back from DW last week; no one wanted to ride IASW and yet we seemed drawn to it; after riding probably 10 times at least, we never noticed the door to the right until this last time; we began to speculate what it would take to get the boat to go in that direction instead - now I'm glad we didn't make that happen.

Come to think of it, I've often noticed entire boats coming back empty. Never really thought much of it until reading this thread.

[dwbakerjr]

The outlook wasnt pleasant for the Mudville tourists that day,
The temp was 98, as they dreamt of Stormalong Bay.
And the leader of group, a strapping lad name Casey O'doole
Says 'Cmon boys, I know a ride where we can stay nice n cool'.
And as Casey stepped into the row that trailed the others there,
Cool air rushed over Casey's brow, he didnt have a care.
'See boys, I told ya!' Casey spoke, as normal, far too loud.
'Sit back and relax, chums of mine; here comes Casey's crowd'
Perhaps a little too arrogant, perhaps a bit unwise.
Noone in the boat did see the movement in the their eyes.
The dolls are always, oh, so slow, at least until the time
That they move with blazing speed and the silence of a mime.
But at least they choose carefully, the ones that most deserve,
To wear the bright paint and garb; to dance & sing & serve.
So when the ride was over, and all had felt the cool, cool air,
They dis-embarked the SW barge - but Casey wasn't there.
Somewhere in the Happy Place the sun stills shines so bright,
Somewhere music's playing, somewhere hearts are light.
Somewhere children laughing, and somewhere parents call.
But there's much chagrin in Mudville... Casey has become a doll.

But at least they choose carefully, the ones that most deserve,
To wear the bright paint and garb; to dance & sing & serve.
So when the ride was over, and all had felt the cool, cool air,
They dis-embarked the SW barge - but Casey wasn't there.
Somewhere in the Happy Place the sun stills shines so bright,
Somewhere music's playing, somewhere hearts are light.
Somewhere children laughing, and somewhere parents call.
But there's much chagrin in Mudville... Casey has become a doll.

LOL...that is awesome!! Truly one of the funniest things I have read in a while....:)

[dwbakerjr]

I guess I should throw something together about...


"Quoth the raven, Its a small small world...."


(((or maybe not))).....

[Higgs22]

I always thought it was "Quouth the Raven...Eat my shorts...." :)

[tink44]

The first time (1/2002) we rode IASW (me, DD7 and DH) we thought it was awesome- the colors, the details, the dolls...

The next time (9/2002), the ride stopped for about 5 minutes and DD (then 8) said there was something strange about the dolls and she really wanted the ride to end.

I noticed that this thread started in August 2002. Could the dolls be emerging from some kind of hypersleep? Are they going to being actively pursuing all riders, or only show themselves to certain riders?

[sters]

I took my 18mo son on Pirates of the Carribean, my favorite ride, early in our trip and he was TRAUMATIZED so that when we went to anything in a boat or anything in the dark... he freaked! Now that I've read this thread, I GET IT! It wasn't the PIRATES it was the DOLLS! Even before we got on the boat, he sensed their evil prescence and, wise man that he is, evacuated the building!

[cworld]

How does Pal Mickey fit in to all of this? I smell a real conspiracy.

[ksdave]

Maybe we need to put the Department of Homeland Defense on this case. Sounds like a conspiracy to bring down the whole country, if you ask me. Just think of the title: "It's a Small World". Do they maybe think it's too small for them and the good old US of A???

[dwbakerjr]

Hmmmm... not sure whether this would fall under the Department of Homeland Security..

But I am wondering if it would be under the Department of "TRANSPORTATION" or the Department of the "INTERIOR"....



hmmmmmm....

[jann1033]

at first i thought this was real...however in all honesty i have a friend who is terrified by the Norway boat ride..she actually stood and and tried to climb out when she realized it was going to go down a"mountain". if i hadn't grabbed her and pulled her back in the troll would have really had the last laugh.

[tink44]

With all of you sharp people out there, I'm surprised that only a couple of posters alluded to the Hall of Presidents conspiracy.

I'm a government worker (for real, hey I get the S/D resort gov't discount ;) ) and I happened to come across a secret memo- of which I can't tell you the full contents, or I might not get to use that S/D discount- that mentioned a connection between those lost in IASW becoming dolls to replace the real dolls who actually grow up to be members of the Hall of Presidents. :eek:

shh, don't tell anyone!

gotta go- I think they're on to me...

[iansmomm]

Dont worry Laurie, they make some lovely medications for that.....

[SpaceMounatin]

When I was 10 years old I notticed "The door" and herd a water fall behind me. it actually got me sweting. Has anyoneelse herd the waterfall?

[carene]

When I was 10 years old I notticed "The door"
What door??

[SpaceMounatin]

There is a door or a whole in the middle of the ride. i think it's were they keep the extra boats

[dwbakerjr]

Y'know, this thread has served a tremendously useful public service... But I was wondering..

With the recent box office success of "Pirates...", I wonder if someone who reeeeely know the POTC ride should start a thread to point out the hidden dangers of that scary ride...

jus a thot...

[TinkKel]

I've been really disturbed since reading this thread, the tune is somehow hauntingly familar. I have experience researching cults and decided to investigate this "Small World" phenomenen. I have made a shocking discovery. The theme song "It's a Small World" is really Hotel California played backwards!

".....we are programmed to deceive. You can check in any time you want, but you can never leave"......

[mmausse]

I am ABSOLUTELY amazed at how long this thread has gone for.

I started visiting this site last summer prior to my 5 week stay at WDW for Dec 2002, then I go away for 6 months and it is STILL going on!

Way to go Laurie!!

Yes, ladies & gents - I spent 5 "glorious" weeks at WDW - GF Concierge and it was a memorable trip.

But as for IASW - one day in Jan - I believe it was 1/2/03, the ride stopped completely and all went dark. I mean it was SOO dark even the emergency lights weren't functioning. Nada.

Fortunately being the ex-girl scout, I carry a pocket flashlight with me. Our boat was not particularly crowded nor was the boat in front or back - maybe 4 people in each.

Here we are, captive prisoners at IASW with no power, no movement......................or so we thought. One of the small IASW figures began to move - ever so slightly but it moved.

For 10 miniutes no power. I couldn't keep my light on steadily because the battery was dying. But each time I turned it on-that figure looked closer to the boat in back.

When the lights finally returned - the boat in back of us was empty - no people, nothing. They VANISHED!

And as for that figure - it had the most evil smirk on its face.

I'm just glad the lights came back on when they did or I might have been next..........:(

[WeLoveDisney]

I'm Laurie's sister. She's back at WDW this week, so in her honor I'm bumping this up again.

[cworld]

You say your Laurie's sister..., but how can we believe you?

Laurie hasn't posted since September of 2002, is she still with us? Did the seduction of the dolls become too much? Could she not handle the land of the living? Are there others in her situation? Did she really come back from the abduction, or did the evil clown send a message in her name? If your Laurie's sister can you prove to us she still exists? Do you have photos? That's not good enough, those could be doctored. Do you have DNA tests? That's not good enough, we don't have an original sample of her DNA. How about fingerprints? But can't they be faked. We will probably have to resort to sub-molecular testing, usually fatal, but it might be worth it. Is Eisner involved? The first rumblings of this came when he came to power.

All of those concerned for Laurie's safety and mental health, to unite. It's time we put a stop to this evil conspiracy. PUT THE DOLLS IN THEIR PLACE!!!!!!!

Let's make Walt Disney World save for humanity again. Retake IASW.

[jann1033]

... imo it would be impossible to retake iasw with out highly advanced weaponry since every one knows that song was originally produced as an attempt at mind control...btw when we were there in Jan I saw a few refillable mugs floating in the water from the Golf Resort and tree houses that I fished out...check the refillable mugs thread if interested

[cheerdaddy]

wow! what a strange and yet funny thread!

[jaysue]

At IASW this past weekend, I saw 999 people board but only 666 came out - I then went to the Haunted Mansion and it seemed more crowded with spirits than before

:crazy:

[ksdave]

I wonder if Comcast knows what it is getting into. Do you think the dolls know of this potential take-over? What do you think their reaction will be if Comcast buys the whole shooting match and cans the chief doll himself, Mike Eisner?
This thing could get really ugly.

[dwbakerjr]

From what I hear on the gossip line, several Comcast guys and Dis guys were discussing the takeover ON THE RIDE, when it got 'stuck' 'accidentally' and they had to listen to the music for about 2 hours straight.

Shortly after that was when the takover bid was withdrawn..


hmmmmm.....

[pointandshoot]

The dolls are large voting shareholders. I was one the ride the other day and asked the hippo how they were voting. He did not say a word but winked. I think they are up to something.

If you see any of them with cheesesteak dripping from the side of their mouth after 3/3, you know the had their day.

[WeLoveDisney]

Bump

[Rhonna]

When they grow up and their indoctrination is done, they DO "escape" ... haven't you seen the Spectromagic clowns?????

They have paraded every day (sometimes twice a day) to study the humans. They apparently are getting closer to the day they plan to take over since they are not running the route as often as they use to.

They have gathered enough info. and are planning their take-over behind the scenes. They are still performing in Specto once in awhile just so we don't get suspicious.

Hmmm....


Rhonna

[jazyjewel]

Now I know why those dolls in spectro scare me ;) I should have known they were trying to take over the world!!!!

[WeLoveDisney]

Laurie made me bump this odd thing

[LoriMistress]

On my recent trip to disneyworld I decided to go on It's a small world after all, now, I understand that this is a thrill ride, but I thought it would be easy enough for me to tolerate. Well was I wrong! From the minute I started walking down the ramp I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, but I just gritted my teeth and boarded the boat anyway. As it began to move I ended up having a full blown panic attack. This was the most horrendous ride I had ever been on in my life.(i'm serious, i'm not a thrill seeker) I can't believe people take small children on this ride. Thoughts just kept racing through my head of being attacked by these dolls, or possibly falling off the boat and being decapitated by the so called track. By the time we reached the tropical scenese I almost fainted. I just could not wait to get off this ride. But I made it through it and I am proud of that. Thanks for listening I know its sounds silly but its true, and I just needed to get it off my chest.:(
If you're getting panic attacks over IASM, than I suggest counseling and medication, unless of course, if you're Tom Cruz. ;)

omigod... So it was Laurie that started the lawsuit that eventually caused the closing of the Carosel of Progress (I knew that dog was too ferocious....)
ROFL :rotfl: :rotfl2:
So true......that darn dog.....

[luvsTink]

This finally explains the overwhelming urge I get to go to WDW...its the DOLLS! and that SONG!!!! We at the dis are all POD PEOPLE NOW!

LOL :cool1:

[Vandercapellen]

I live all the way in Pennsylvania, and the dolls found me and made me bring this post back. They told me to do as they say or they are going to rig the election this fall. They are really getting out of hand now!! Someone must stop them! Call the authorities. I told them that I didn't think that they could do it, and their only response was "You know the democratic primary? That mess was us!"

[chell]

:banana:

[SnowAngel]

Not the dolls... anything but the dolls!:scared1: Run for the hills while you can!!!:eek: :scared:

[WeLoveDisney]

I cant believe this message is back:eek:

It has to be the dolls!!

[chell]

The funny thing about this thread being revived last night was that just a few weeks ago I was wondering about when this thread was last on the top of the boards. I wanted Larry to read it before we go in December since he has never been before and wanted to get his reaction. But I don't have much luck with the searches so I'm SO happy to see it revived!!!

Dolls and clowns are known to spark fear even in the bravest of souls. My DD has a teddyscares it's really creapy and dead but she fell in love with it and I couldn't say no as it was the first thing she has ever asked me to buy kind of like a cordary bear but missing more then the button. http://www.teddyscares.com/index.shtml I wonder how she's going to like the ride? I bet she's going to freak out :rotfl2:

[inkkognito]

Most people think the following song is from the Stonecutters (remember that Simpsons episode?). But it's really sung by the Dolls after hours:

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do, We do.

Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do, we do.

Who keeps back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do, we do.

Who robs cavefish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do, we dooooooo.

( See Simpsons video clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdaRuTwWl9I )

[thesupersmartguy]

Now I see I'm not the only one that is driven crazy by the left-right head jerking dolls. I get through it by picking up a few of the Orlando area therapist cards stuck in the edge of the tunnel at the end of the ride.

[disneylvr11]

I still can't believe you guys haven't figured it out! After six years! The dude from Carousel of Progress is Walt Disney! The evil dolls captured their creator because of the torture he put them through! They used the story of his death to cover it up!

The dog is really one of them! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[WeLoveDisney]

The dolls...they're back

[WizardLarz]

You appairently did not know that IASW was what inspired Toy Story! The Dolls come alive when nobody is looking!:lmao::rotfl::rotfl2:

The truth why alot of people dislike IASW, 14m30s is how long it takes, and that is not counting how long you stand in the queue listening to the Music!:scared1:

[RachelsMommie]

IASW is the creepiest ride at Disney. My DD5 loves it, and it terrifies me.

Those dolls with their blank, clicky eyes. You know they're thinking that they want to kill you. Maybe they're holding a large knife behind their backs. Maybe I'll wake up in the middle of the night at the WL and one of those dolls will be at the foot of my bed...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHH!

Okay, panic attack over.

Seriously, though. CREEPY RIDE!

[Cee]

Many years ago when my kids were small we went to the character breakfast at the Contemporary. I asked Tigger if he had ever visited "It's A Small World" and he wrote in my DD's autograph book, "You mean the House of Chucky Dolls?" :thumbsup2

[larryz]

All right -- 'fess up! Which one of you is the escaped doll from IASW???

[tinkerbell198530]

Is this thread going to close anytime soon, becuse no one is really doing anything but attacking the OP and in my opion that is not the Disboard way.

This thread is from 2002 - and it was a joke! :)

[Chicago Mo]

I never laughed so hard at reading this from beginning to end. AS having a doll fear myself our first family Vacation was to Disney in Sept 2010. IASW was thankfully closed. UNfortunately we will be going back this year November and i hear IASW is back up and running?

[bytheblood]

WOW! A 9-year-old post and you can see that people have not changed here. Just as hateful and attacking then as they are now. ;)

I thought the first post was wonderful - a great sense of humor.

Never had more fun reading a post as i read those word to word... stupid dolls.

[Heidifrances]

I think I saw that old couple! I just thought they were looking for something to eat for under $25 each!

[2girlsmom]

We aren't going until May, but the subliminal messages have already started. I can't help myself, I HAVE to ride!

[glammadiva]

Maybe she read Kingdom Keepers and thought it was true! Trust me, after reading those books I am keeping a close eye on those dolls next time I go back!!!
