Things you miss at Disney that should be brought back

ME


I'm on my way tomorrow.

COP - outdated, antiquated and overrated. But a great place to take a nap. Maybe they could just get rid of the show and put in recliners in the theater, then just keep looping it around while guys like me got a nice snooze.

But CLASSIC overrules all that! LONG LIVE COP!

classic attraction = outdated attraction. Bulldoze and make room for the new. Maybe a nice High School Musical themed attraction, with some cutouts of lockers and a food venue that looks like a school cafeteria complete with overweight lunch ladies in hair nets and hairy arms and sweaty armpits scooping the gruel up and plopping it on one of those compartmentalized trays.

well it IS outdated but thats how you look back in to the past, makes it all the more IN THE PAST, lol.

LOL, if they ever put in that attraction you mentioned above over a bull dozed COP....well, they will have to move me first cause i'm gonna tie myself to the COP sign, lol, in protest.
didn't you mean sweaty and hairy arms AND hairy armpits, lol.

[Born 2 Fish]

Okay, so they never did that,,still a good idea.

I miss the FW Railroad, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

I agree, naptime for bonzo.

I agree. Those are my three favorite things.

I'm sorry, but Mr Toad's was L_A_M_E! The head-on with the train was the only remotely interesting part, and that certainly wasn't enough to justify it's existence. Not that Winnie the Pooh is much better... a stiff, flat pop-up book? Seriously? Yanking 20000 Leagues to put in Pooh's play area, now that was a crime! Not that 20000 wasn't lame in it's own way, but it could have been plused. And what's with the trend of Pooh slaying classic attractions?!

Toad was a dream for every pre-driver that wanted to be in the driver's seat and be a hellion. I can't explain why pooh has slain all the classic attractions. If I must ride pooh, I close my eyes and pretend I am on toad. I also pretend I am 10 again, but isn't that the point?

The first time I went on 20,000 was on the first date my now DH & I went on. He loved that attraction & I LMAO the entire time we were on the ride because it was so L-A-M-E!!! My laughing almost negated a second date!

The one thing about that attraction that still sticks out in my mind was the fake diver. It reminded me of an equally stupid and lame Canadian kid's show of the 1960's ----Diver Dan. The show featured a plastic diver - the kind you fill with baking soda and vinegar - and they actually made a TV show based on this 1" plastic dude.

Shan-Man & Ft Wilderness Guy=Ebenezer Scrooge.

 

[Born 2 Fish]

The appetizer and tip included in the Dine Plan !

I loved that show, Diver Dan. There used to be these really crappy puppet fish. I remember the barracuda fish the most. http://www.rogersbasement.com/DiverDan.htm

20,000 leagues - no loss. Those subs STUNK!!!!! A combination of just plain dirt and b.o. Get stuck in there with a bunch of guests overdue for showers on a hot day, and you couldn't wait for the ride to be over. And the queue was a throwback to every bad carnival I ever went to as a kid - just a line in the sun. An embarrassment to Disney imagineering.

 

[ntsammy5]

Jim, you sure itr was the subs that stunk and not you? I always thought it was me.

I might never stay any place other than AFVC - I timed the trip back from Epcot last night - 18 minute from when we went through the turnstiles (might have been speeding) and from the Christmas Party the other night it was 32 minutes and we missed a monorail and a tram. There's a ton of space and it's comfortable. The only thing I object to is the 20 year olds swimming topless!

 

[ftwildernessguy]

Al - don't you have anything better to do in Orlando than write on this board? I am talking to the wife about maybe trying out the AFVC this winter sometime. Where is your condo in relation to the Big Giant Orange?

 

[jennypenny]

I miss the top of the world restaurant at the comtemporary. They had a terrific Sunday Brunch--no characters, no calling 18 months ahead for a reservation--just a nice meal and you could go outside and look at the MK.

I miss Mission to Mars. And I never thought I'd miss alien encounter but stitch YUCH!

I miss the Jungle Cruise. I know it's still there, but the story is so PC that the ride is almost a parody of itself now.

And I really miss the tram back to the beach club after drinking my way around the world at epcot. (BC is our other home-away-from-home after the fort)

 

[ntsammy5]

It's right across the street from the Orange behind Cracker Barrel. My wife is a late sleeper so I went to the hot tub and now waiting for her so we can go to Universal. This place is very quiet and last night I saw security go through about 4 times in 30 minutes. The rooms here are all refurbished. I'll post some pictures and give a better report when I get back. It's the Wyndham Cypress Palms if you want to look it up.
