I really like and I don't find it annoying at all as some others do. I actually like the way it was first written better, as a soft ballad, but they sped it up for the ride.
When we were a cruise last year, Richard B Sherman, the song writer was on board with us. He apologized to everyone for writing that song.
Persoanlly, I like it. Anything that gives me that Disney feel is ok with me.
The ride was closed when we went in Dec 04. I was so happy last Oct. to be able to ride it again. I love the ride, the cute little characters, etc. It reminds me of my childhood.
To me, the ride and the song make me think of the MK. So, of course, I love that! Sometimes while I'm doing my obsessive planning or just lurking here reading about other people's obsessions, I'll find myself humming a happy tune.
I like it because it makes you feel like you are at WDW...one of those classics not to be missed. I did not like the musty smell that it has as you ride through though. Anyone know if it still stinks since they refurbished it?
It only gets on my nerves after I have been on the ride 4 times in a row with my little ones, then I cant get the song out of my head for the rest of the day
It has always been one of my favorites. I have sung it as a lullaby to my little ones at bedtime, and I get teary thinking about taking them on it for the first time this fall. (I also cry at just about every WDW commercial.)
1) It's one of the rides I remember riding on our first trip in Dec. '86 when my grandma went with us. She is mostly likely going to pass away within the next couple of days and we're very close so it's a memory I'm holding onto for her.
2) It's my DD's favorite ride. We rode it four times this past trip and they probably would have ridden it all day if they could have.
3) I know it sounds cheesy but there really is a lot of symbolism behind it. With everything that is so bad in this world, it is a nice reminder that kids are the same around the world - it's us adults that mess it up. For just a short little bit everything "feels" right in the World - and that's what WDW is about isn't it?
