As is, Disney is strongly considering not letting the new addition to the show have a speaking part. So this doesn't happen again.
They do that in the 'interim' when they're getting the new president made, right? (Er.. the new animatronic. There's a conspiracy theory for you ... Disney building the president :lol: ). I remember when ... I'm gonna guess ClintonAA was being built, they were back to letting Lincoln talk a lot more. I can't say as I think that's a bad idea, to keep it that way.
The last time I was there was 2005, so Monsters wasn't open yet. I'm surprised people here don't like it, I heard it was a good show.
We've bludgeoned this repeatedly in numerous threads, but on behalf of the 'haters', it's really the location of the attraction most people seem to have a beef with. I didn't hate the attraction itself (though I found the animation kinda sub-par in some parts). It's not really a bad idea; it's just in a bad place.

They should hire Doris Kearns Goodwin and make the darn thing entertaining instead of a lecture about civil rights that most people already know, painted in such broad strokes as to make a really interesting topic pretty bland.
I have a version from.. 1971, so it claims ... on my iPod where you actually learn some things about presidents - principally Washington and Jackson. Okay, well, I learned some things. Maybe it's stuff that's covered in US middle schools. In any case, it's interesting how the show sort of morphed to become more PC over the years and more boring at the same time (though not really surprising, maybe).

I want Alien Encounter back! I dont care if it wasnt "kid oriented". There have always been attractions that werent specifically geared to little ones and aer still around. Disney big wigs just want to milk every penny out of every character they can. I can see doing somthing Stitch oriented but to ruin a great attraction was stupid. Just like replacing Mr. Toads with Winnie the Pooh. Bleh. Another stupid ride.

That being said.... 4 months till I spend Xmas in Disney!

have a wonderful day everyone!
The biggest mistake they've made with both attractions themed around Monsters Inc. is that the movie had a RIDE IN IT that would have been absolutely amazing...everything based in the million door sequence. Instead, they decided to make the DL version a subpar, and sad to say it, boring, dark ride, and the WDW version a show. I'm not knocking the Laugh Floor...I actually enjoyed it a lot, but I agree with the folks that it's not right for Tomorrowland. It's as good as the audience makes it. I was there during a Pirate and Princess Party, and the whole crowd was in a good mood and loved it.

I voted for Autotopia, because it's just so big that you could easily fit a great attraction there, and the so-called cars of the future really...aren't.

Very strange, especially since it had always been pegged with the label "boring".

The choice to make the Hall of Presidents about something other than presidents was inexplicable enough, but then to actually make it less interesting just boggles the mind. The American Adventure shows that they certainly have the capacity to make this stuff really compelling.

And, I know I will probably take some heat for this, but regardless of what you think of Maya Angelou's work as a poet, I find her speaking voice to be a bit lacking.

I'd put the HoP up there with the Universe of Energy and the Tree of Life for the most potential squandered in a given attraction.

You should be glad to know that she doesn't narrate anymore. It is J.D. Hall, he has been doing it since 2001.

Belle needs to go, It's hidden off in a corner and I hardly see anyone there during showtime. It's inbetween Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, so I'm not sure it should be there...
They should put something more exciting there.

Swiss Family Treehouse is completely pointless now. Even for new visitors.

I like the character of Stitch and so do my kids. The attraction? It has to be one of the worst ones ever. I have a problem with stinky chili dog smells.

I voted stitch. I never really liked most of the rides that were in that building. Would have voted pooh for my own personal vedetta about the bear taking some of the best spaces in fantasyland (aka mtwr & 20k). Also Buzz for if i had wings and also monsters for time keeper.

I voted for other because I love ALL of the MK attractions even Stitch. IMO it's in the right land and fits more with MK than AE ever did. It's interesting to hear people's opinions though.

Having said that, if possible, I would make the following tweaks:-

Tiki Room - I still like it but I would prefer that the old show be returned
Country Bear Jamboree - Needs some TLC
Peter Pan - 50 minute wait in September!!! We need two of these :lol:
Carousel of Progress - The ending feels so 1980's to me so bringing it up to date a little would be nice
1980, 2000, 2005 and 2008 all had plenty of magic. Hoping for a bit more in 2010.

Stitch. Never liked it when it was Alien Encounter either. A bit scary for the little ones. The darn bar came down on my shoulders so tight during my last (and final) ride of Stitch that it was actually pinching my shoulders painfully. :shock:

Stitch and Monsters Inc are just brutal. Tomorrowland could find a much better use for both of these spaces.

Yeah, but you can have a lot of fun with your family members if you take the rear car and "accidentally" tap their back bumper. I enjoy Autotopia a lot and I think it is great for kids as it lets them get the feeling of driving a car. I certainly have sooo many great memories from this attraction that I would really be saddened if WDW ever got rid of it. The best thing for this would be get some new vehicles that run on alternative fuel.

As for Stitch.... where to begin. We went on it in 2006 when it first opened and we made sure to skip it this past summer. I personally didn't see a reason to close Alien Encounter yet.

The Laugh Floor, I thought was a great show. It is something that you will probably end up doing once every trip since it has a very short wait and there is a possibility that you might laugh.
