I was off yesterday and somehow forgot it was Friday.
Happy SATURDAY, which in this house is also National Try Chocolate Peanut Butter On Your Pancakes Day (very tasty, should not be a habit), National Finally It Stopped Raining Day (my yard is a fen), and National Indiana Jones Ride Might Be Confirmed for WDW Day. I am in favor of this.
I went through a very strong “don’t destroy original Walt Disney World” phase back in the day when my beloved Mr. Toad was closing in favor of a Pooh ride, but you know what? I was wrong. Walt Disney World needs to grow and change and breathe in order to remain relevant to today’s children who will become tomorrow’s Disney Adults. Is Indiana Jones an old franchise? Yes, she writes while dodging the eyes of a dozen movie-accurate replica relics.
But the show in Disney Studios is always packed to the gills, and I’ve never heard a person leaving say it sucked, and the movies upon which it will be based will always be a click away. Dinoland was a tribute to roadside attractions and that theming never fit in with Animal Kingdom to begin with. Making that area South/Central America themed can tie in Indy, Encanto, and Up if they can create a Paradise Falls reference.
Want another WDW idea? At Studios, change Rock’n’Roller Coaster from Aerosmith to Muppets/Electric Mayhem.
The Disney Parks portion of the annual D23 convention is tonight but at west coast time so I’ll get my news tomorrow morning. I used to be a D23 member until it became a program where you paid for the privilege of paying for merch and paying to go to a convention which never makes it to Florida. The magazine was lovely but the stories were already out there by the time we received it.
Let’s hit up the rest of the Friday 5 on this sunny Saturday morning. As mentioned above, this week’s theme is Wrong Answers Only.
- Wrong answers only: what is the secret of your success?
On a grade school field trip I cut myself on a radioactive staple remover and thus began a life destined for desk work. - Wrong answers only: how would you like to spend this weekend?
Tornado chasing. Let’s fire up some Carpenters, head out in my 12 year old Jeep and find some twisters! After that we’ll hit up the Sauerkraut festival. - Wrong answers only: what’s next?
If Harris wins the presidency, I’m on the short list for a cabinet position. That’s all I can say. - Wrong answers only: when will you finally get that thing done?
RIGHT after I hit post on the entry. Promise. - Wrong answers only: what do you have to say for yourself?
I’m guilty and am not at all remorseful.
I’m about to finally get that thing done. 🙂
