Need help figuring out an attraction...

[DisneFamily]

Okay, I hope you guys don't think I am crazy, but DW and I are racking out brains trying to figure out what attraction our DS5 is describing. We were just reviewing some rides with him for our upcoming trip and he was so excited about this. We feel so bad we can't help him. He has acted things out, tried to draw us pictures, made voices & we showed him so many videos. Please help (oh, and I am sorry for the random details, trying to keep up with him).
*He can hear Mickey and Goofy talking and Mickey says "wow, this is scary" at the beginning and then says "wow, this is cool" at the end. Goofy also says "this is scary" talking in the beginning.
*There is "toy shop" at the end that has squeaky toys.
*There is snow behind the windows with scenes behind the glass.
*You are standing the whole time and it gets fast at the end.
*There is a red planet at some point.
*It is dark at beginning.
*There are army guys stuck in snow behind glass.

Also, this could be at any park or even Universal Studios.

Okay, I know this looks and sounds crazy, but this has gone on for 2 hours.

My first guess was Mickey's Philharmagic, but you're not standing, you're sitting. I highly doubt it is at Universal since he hears Mickey and Goofy talking.

How old was he on your last visit?

It sounds like he is remembering Be Our Guest restaurant, Barnstormer, and any ride that ends with a walk through a shop.

It may be easiest to tell him the ride is being refurbed especially because there aren't any rides where you stand for any part of it.

 

[DisneFamily]

He was 4 last time. We go every year.

Yeah, all these were my thoughts, too. Showed him videos of all these. It may not be a ride, but possible a display or show or anything. Smh. Thanks for the responses though. When I say, someone responded, he gets so excited.

Only attraction at Disney I've been on where you stand is the HS Pirates of the Caribbean ride but that's not what you're describing

 

[Bob Dolewhip]

I have a 4 and a 7 year old and they come up with some crazy merged memories sometimes.
I am thinking that the stuff with the snow is a display or shop window. I can't figure out what that ride could be.
I would just say you are not sure which ride that is, but he should tell you when you ride it.

The only thing I can think is Philharmagic. Mickey and Goofy talk at the beginning. Nothing about scary but he might be confused. There is a toy shop at the end. The red planet could be the sun in the start of "the lion king" portion of the show. The fast part could be the magic carpet ride and the swirling musical tornado at the end. If you guys went sometime during the holidays maybe there were windows decorated with snow and army guys that you happened to walk by either before or after the ride. Other than that I'm coming up with nothing.

The more I think about it, the more I do believe he is describing Philharmagic. Perhaps since he was little, he WAS standing the whole time. In the very beginning, the lights are out as Mickey makes his way to the stage and he and Goofy are talking. One of them does say something about being scared because it is dark. However, he will "see" it differently this time since he is older. I bet he won't find what he's remembering.

 

[crazedprincess]

Aw soooo cute and so detailed!!! My first thought was Philharmagic too!

 

[Accident]

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Philharmagic also. That's the only attraction I can think of that is faster at the end, a 4 year old could be standing and you would hear mickey and others talking without a visual to just hear them. And there is stuff this is similar to snow, the instruments do kind of sound like squeaky toys. The gift shop does look like a toy store and you pass next to on your way out of the theater.

I remember a ride called "The Tornado" in Magic Kingdom from my childhood. It was a dark ride that was a lot like the "Blustery Day" scene in the current Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

The only problem is "The Tornado" never existed. I have no idea what I was remembering.

 

[Klayfish]

Best match from what I read would be Philharmagic.

Or, he's an Imagineer in the making.

Have you ever been to upstate NY?

Now I'm trying to figure out what this is lol . . is HS Hollywood Studios? I don't remember any Pirates of the Caribbean ride where you stand . . .

Not a ride but I'm wondering if CAS239 meant The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow. It wasn't a ride but a walk through attraction and you stood during it. It closed in 2014.

Ahhhh, never experienced that . . . thanks for clearing that up for me!

Maybe Philharmagic, as others have said. Maybe that combined with a dream he had that mashed up different memories and made new ones. When I was around that age, maybe a little younger, I dreamt about Snow White's Scary Adventures, but that there was a hallway with lots of little wooden doors and they all had the witch inside and she would pop out of all the doors while holding her apple outstretched. I was convinced that the ride was actually like that until I rode it again a couple years later.

Reminds me of the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" scene in Great Movie Ride (just before you enter Munchkin Land.)
That scene was originally intended to be the "twister" (tornado) that lifts guests "over the rainbow" and drops them in Oz.
Disney Imagineers changed their plans, and left in the spinning and wind effects,
but just added the Sorcerer's Apprentice" Mickey footage instead of the tornado scene.

Yea HS is Hollywood Studios.

And yea it was the Pirates of the Caribbean "Legend of Jack Sparrow" show. Right over by Toy Story. You and a group of people walked in a room and around you was holograms and lights and effects bringing to life Jack Sparrow and other Pirates and stuff. Visually it was a pretty cool show, but there wasn't enough to it to be popular. It was definitely a one and done ride. It closed last year

Lucky you. It was awful. Lol
