    One time, when I was probably 5 or 6, I had gotten a Belle makeover at Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique. Then I met Chip and Dale on Main Street USA. Push came up to me and told me that I need to go see the Beast. For a long time until I started watching these videos, I though I was crazy that a trash can talked to me. Any video that you mention Push in just makes me think of that happy moment

    I agree with the idea of Runaway Railway and Great Movie Ride coexisting. There’s no doubting that Runaway Railway is a great addition to the park, and it’s about time Mickey Mouse got his own attraction, but there’s also no doubt that the Great Movie ride was an absolute classic at the park. Great Movie Ride was a staple attraction to all my visits to Walt Disney World. That ride is greatly missed. Also with the acquisition of Lucasfilm, Disney also acquired Industrial Light and Magic, which could’ve been utilized to create better special effects on the ride. The Fox acquisition is a great point though, they now have the rights to many classic films that could’ve been used for the ride now that Disney is no longer licensing the MGM brand for the park, and could replace some of the films they don’t own. Whether Disney made the right move is up for debate, but both of these rides have been great attractions at the park.

      One of my favorite Disneyland memories as a kid was hanging out with Push! We were waiting for members of our party using the Space Mountain bathroom and he parked himself next to the regular trash cans so he could jump scare people walking by! My dad was very obviously staring at him and Push said "Hey, you in the Linux shirt! It's kinda conspicuous!"

      I think you are right but...that is also why it went, as all the movies used were not all owned by Disney. So the licensing was up so they would have had to change it quite a bit if it was to stay. With lower attendance of the ride and paying for renewed and more expensive licenses, its sad but makes sense why they shut it down. I loved it too though.

    I agree! Live entertainment is so important to the Disney parks, along with attractions. The cast members put so much work into bringing such classic Disney stories to life. Festival of the Lion King, Magic Happens, Main Street Electrical Parade, the Beauty and the Beast Live show, Mickey and the Magical Map, Frozen Live at the Hyperion, and countless more. I know Disney are short on cast members currently, but the Disney parks would not be the same without live entertainment!

      Sadly, this is Disney's way of saying their parks are intended for the rich, or at least highest bidder.
      This is one of the problems with current society, especially Wall Street. As a public company, you need to be increasing your profits every year, and you have competitors you need to beat. If you don't, you are a failure, and you have many risks. Among them, company being bought out and broken up, all of management being ousted. Prior to the early 1990's business wasn't so cut throat. Too many bankers realized how much money could be wrong out of many companies this way.
      For those who have forgotten, look up Saul Steinberg, Arvida and the two brothers that tried to corner the silver market along with take over Disney and basically end the company in 1984. (Breakup)
      Anyway, I digress. Great video, keep up the good work.

      This is the exact reason I hate the virtual queue system. Some people live close enough to the parks and have enough regular income that they can make frequent trips to Disney; but for most people, that's not the case. Sometimes, your trip to Disney is literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To have your dream vacation boil down to a blind-luck lottery system is so unfair and really heartbreaking 90% of the time.

    It was a mistake to remove the Great Movie Ride but it was also a mistake to take on TCM as a sponsor. This resulted in the end sequence being edited to death, much to the detriment of the ride.
    It would have been better to lengthen the sequence than to remove all the wonderful clips.
    Even though the Sorcerer’s Hat was just a pin trading area, it did provide an Icon for the Park. It should never have been removed, I say this as someone who, as an adult, attended the Park since the beginning. I was never aware that the Chinese Theater was intended to be the “icon” for the Park and did not feel it was a loss when it was covered.

So less that 30 seconds after the clock hit twelve, the virtual queue for the new Star Wars ride was filled up. Over 200 groups for that ride filled up in less than 30 seconds.

    Also, the moblie order. I can't even with it. The food portion sizes are unbelievable small. It's extremely rare if a food place at Disneyland doesn't have moblie order. You literally don't get a choice if you want to use it or not. So pretty much you're forced to pay for food with your card.
    I'm not going back for a while.

    Well...screwing over the cast members when the pandemic started is one. And the new Genie+ app is going to be a nightmare for people who don't have endless money. The biggest mistake of all though is Disney forgetting about the people who made the company what it is, and totally losing their way.

    I have never been to WDW so I would have loved to go on the great movie ride, it was iconic. The Mickey & Minnie ride looks great and so cute and pretty but I agree with you they could have put it somewhere else to save the great movie ride and added movie scenes to the great movie ride. I think a big mistake is changing the theme of Splash Mountain sorry but that is my favorite ride for it being a water ride and I ❤️ the theme. Zip a dee doo dah is iconic and I ❤️ the fact they used old animatronics and I ❤️ all the animatronics it has. The princess and the frog I don't think will fit the theme right where its located, they could have made it a seperate ride. I am so sad to see the theme change. I am not ready to say goodbye to the song of the south theme. :(

    my issues with IP's is the addition of them to resorts as well when they don't necessarily belong. It's fine in small doses or even when contained to value resorts but I'm not a fan of such major IP placement in resorts (ie. moana at polynesian or incredibles at contemporary). I know I'm an adult in disney but I don't need to look at disney characters 24/7. I don't need to have pirate flags in my room because I'm staying at caribbean beach. I'd much rather be immersed in the resort's theming itself and appreciate that. That's why Old Key West has always been one of my favourites. It doesn't have to dress up at something it isn't to make it immersive.

  • @paulbeale5812

    What Disney needs to deal with the big line - ups is to simply have more attractions. When I went in 2008 they had over 10 billion guest. In 2018 when we went back I heard they had 20 billion a year. That's a big increase and they did not offer enough new attractions. Worse is the fact that some of the new stuff replaced old attractions, so no gain in numbers. In other cases they just closed an attraction and left it vacant. the Stiches great escape building still does not have a new attraction. The inability of some new rides to have a high number of riders an hour is also a problem, so we get stuck with the virtual crew bull. I still love Disney but they have work to do.

I hate the idea that the tower of terror is currently what people think of as the icon bc it doesn’t have the same meaning as the theater. I once asked those expensive tour guides what the icon was going to be for Hollywood studios way back when the hat was first removed and he said the icon has always been The Chinese theater.

    I also loved the Education aspect of Epcot at the time it was awesome my favorite attraction at Epcot is Soarin it was amazing with the score the scents everything I'm also a Entertainment person I love the show's and the character meet and greet's so cutting back on the Entertainment is one of the worse things that the company has done in my opinion.

    Probably adding Pandora the World of Avatar to Animal Kingdom. I mean, (prior to the buyout of 20th Century Fox), having a land based on a franchise that you didn't own didn't make as much sense considering the sequels were years and years away. Plus, they had other options at the time. Like actually building Beastly Kingdome or from one of their upcoming movies, like Wakanda from Marvel's Black Panther.
    The few reasons it made sense to build Pandora was the location as they could run it late at night (away from the animals) and it had the environmental angle going for it. But that new land didn't really satisfy the mythological promise in Animal Kingdom's opening statement (plus not a whole lot of people don't remember the plot of the film just the world of the film.) And we still have the dragon from Beastly Kingdome on nearly all of the signage, trashcans, and ticket booths of the park, not the Banshees from Pandora.
    But after watching some video walkthoughs and foodie spotlights on the new land, it looks nice to eat there (especially the hamburger bao buns and build your own bowls). I'll visit the new land and try the new food, and go on the new rides. Though, I would rather have had either Beastly Kingdome, some other property more memorable (and recognizable), or just the campground with new food and ride options.
