21:08:21 [BetsyAnn] Hey DisneyPam!
21:08:24 [Moley] 1979, Big Thunder Mountain is under construction. What a drool I had seeing that huge thing behind a fence.
21:08:27 [tiltawhirl] Hi DisneyPam
21:08:37 [HockeyMom] The first time I was at Disney I could hardly wait for space mountain to open.
21:08:39 [DisneyPam] hey kids!
21:08:49 [HockeyMom] Hi Disney Pam
21:08:51 [BetsyAnn] * BetsyAnn only went to WDW as adult! 
21:09:02 [disneylove] hi DP
21:09:08 [tiltawhirl] Me too Moley! I was so drooling over watching that
mountain take shape. Me being somewhat petite, I had to find ways to
look ebyond the fence
21:09:19 [tiltawhirl] yeah but BA had the pleasure of Disneyland
21:09:27 [disneylove] same here betsyann
21:09:33 [BetsyAnn] Welcome DisneyPam to Attractions Roundup - we take a trip down expansion memory lane, and see just how many things have changed at WDW over the years.
21:09:36 [Moley] You were but a near toddler then, Tilt.
21:09:53 [tiltawhirl] Hardly Moley!
21:10:09 [disneylove] geez guys I have to admit here
21:10:34 [tiltawhirl] that's right HockeyMom! Space mountain was a real EMPTY spot in Tomorrowland when it opened
21:10:42 [tiltawhirl] before I mean
21:10:45 [BetsyAnn] Lots of Disneyland memories about change - but not much from WDW!
21:10:46 [disneylove] I didn't hear about disney until I was an adult
21:10:55 [snickerdoo] hello all!
21:11:02 [Timon] I'm sitting here with an original of The Story of Walt Disney World Commemorative Edition A behind the scenes visit to the Vacation Kingdom
21:11:04 [tiltawhirl] hi snickerdoo
21:11:06 [Moley] Space Mt. doesn't debut until 1975.
21:11:08 [BetsyAnn] Welcome snickerdoo to Attractions Roundup - we take a trip down expansion memory lane, and see just how many things have changed at WDW over the years.

21:11:52 [BetsyAnn] How cool Timon -- what do you see!
21:11:57 [disneylove] oh ya tilt
21:12:00 [snickerdoo] How is the Stampede going?
21:12:26 [Timon] I don't think the Tea cups were covered back then either
21:12:33 [HockeyMom] I loved the sky ride
21:12:40 [DisneyPam] going well....several sold out shows.
21:12:53 [BetsyAnn] snickerdoo - do you have any memories about things that have changed at WDW over the years
21:12:55 [tiltawhirl] that IS a cool book Timon!
21:13:01 [HockeyMom] 20000 Leagues filled the Lagoon.
21:13:09 [HockeyMom] Hi Andy!
21:13:10 [disneylove] oh what was the movie on main street that's now gone
21:13:11 [snickerdoo] We almost went a couple Sat nights ago but then didnt make it
21:13:17 [tiltawhirl] hi AndyL
21:13:19 [DisneyPam] characters without handlers
21:13:20 [Timon] Hey homey
21:13:22 [snickerdoo] I was dissapointed
21:13:27 [Moley] Hey Andy!!! Welcome!
21:13:27 [disneylove] something about mickey
21:13:31 [BetsyAnn] Welcome AndyL to Attractions Roundup - we take a trip down expansion memory lane, and see just how many things have changed at WDW over the years.
21:13:33 [AndyL] Hi there
21:13:35 [tiltawhirl] again folks, I must apologize. I have this stupid lag
thing, so sometimes my posts are delayed
21:13:50 [snickerdoo] there are several things I miss
21:13:53 [Moley] No worries, Tilt
21:14:15 [Moley] The movie on Main Street was the Story of Walt.
21:14:19 [tiltawhirl] I don't have clear memories for how they blocked off the area for Splash Mountains construction?
21:14:25 [HockeyMom] The Magic Shop on main street
21:14:41 [Moley] The Walt Disney Story
21:14:46 [snickerdoo] oh yeah remamber the magic shop?
21:14:50 [HockeyMom] Mission to Mars
21:14:51 [AndyL] they built the boardwalk to build Splash
21:15:22 [snickerdoo] the boardwalk was built after splash
21:15:23 [Timon] I see a picture that looks like animatronics of Mickey conducting Minnie, Goofey, Huey, Dewey, and Louie and Donald. I don't remember this attraction. Does anyone have any idea as to what it was.
21:15:30 [Moley] They closed the train station stop, too, while Splash was under construction.
21:15:32 [disneylove] Horizens I really miss that one
21:15:37 [AndyL] MM Revue
21:15:38 [snickerdoo] I didnt like mission to mars
21:16:00 [BetsyAnn] I think I rode Horizons once - can't remember for sure
21:16:12 [disneylove] Where was the ride that had themoving walkway
21:16:20 [tiltawhirl] I thought Mission to Mars was hokey myself, and was glad to see it go. I prefer Star Tours in the location of Alien Encounter however
21:16:21 [snickerdoo] horizons was where you got to choose your own ending
21:16:25 [HockeyMom] I liked Horizons
21:16:30 [AndyL] Loved Horizons Very optimistic ride
21:17:01 [disneylove] I always wanted to go live under the sea
21:17:01 [tiltawhirl] I think the Horizons fans are legion AndyL.
21:17:03 [HockeyMom] Horizons would be a good fit in tomorrow land.
21:17:19 [AndyL] you see a brief snip of one of the choices in the WDW planning video
21:17:23 [BetsyAnn] Timon that sounds very interesting not very sure what that was!?!?!
21:17:40 [tiltawhirl] hi Barbd!
21:17:41 [AndyL] the space scene
21:17:45 [tiltawhirl]
21:17:48 [disneylove] hi there barbd
21:17:50 [BarbD] Hi
21:17:52 [HockeyMom] It sounds familiar Timon, but I can't think what it was.
21:17:56 [BetsyAnn] Welcome BarbD to Attractions Roundup - we take a trip down expansion memory lane, and see just how many things have changed at WDW over the years.
21:18:00 [snickerdoo] timon are you talking about that one at epcot?
21:18:22 [HockeyMom] Hi BarbD
21:18:29 [BetsyAnn] What kind of cars were used in Horizons
21:18:40 [BarbD] Cool my years arent that long ago (first trip 199 
But I know a lot
has changed just since then
21:18:47 [tiltawhirl] Does anybody have memories of anticipation of the expansion of MGM? Do you remember how small it felt in those first few years?
21:18:52 [BarbD] ok that was suppose to say 1998
21:18:55 [Timon] I doubt it snickerdoo, this book is from before EPCOT
21:19:01 [snickerdoo] they sat 4 across similar to SE only wider
21:19:23 [Moley] I was there during opening week. It was quite small. Not even Indy was open then.
21:19:25 [snickerdoo] oh i see timon
21:19:28 [disneylove] I don't like the newest change at MGM!!!
21:19:29 [AndyL] monorail conveyor sort of suspended from overhead
21:19:29 [tiltawhirl] they were like a more rectangular omnimover buggy BA
21:19:30 [Timon] BA they were similar to the ones in the Haunted Mansion
21:19:35 [Moley] It was clearly a half day park at that time.
21:20:00 [tiltawhirl] do you mean the Hat dl?
21:20:13 [snickerdoo] MGM was kinda a waste when it first opened
21:20:18 [BetsyAnn] Thanks - now I am not sure I rode it -- when did it shut down?
21:20:29 [snickerdoo] Universal USED to be better
21:20:34 [disneylove] no.they have torn down all the houses tilt and the city hall looking building
21:20:50 [tiltawhirl] ahh
21:20:56 [snickerdoo] what a shame they tore all the houses down
21:21:23 [disneylove] I want my houses back...sob
21:21:24 [snickerdoo] that was such a great walking tour when the lights were there at christmas
21:21:51 [disneylove] I agree SD I wonder where they will put it now
21:21:53 [HockeyMom] I'm totally bummed we are going to miss those Christmas lights.
21:21:57 [Moley] Now the lights will adorn all of New York Street.
21:22:03 [Moley] next year
21:22:17 [snickerdoo] supposedly moley
21:22:19 [disneylove] YUCK! not as nice
21:22:35 [snickerdoo] I agree
21:22:54 [Moley] If you liked Jennings Osborne style on the Golden Girls house, wait til he gets a gig on a skyscraper.
21:22:58 [AndyL] they're going to have to reinforce the facades. The lights will be too heavy otherwise
21:22:59 [disneylove] I wonder as I wander why they tore them down
21:23:05 [tiltawhirl] any pink Castle cake fans here?
21:23:08 [snickerdoo] LOL Moley
21:23:20 [tiltawhirl] LOL@Moley
21:23:24 [snickerdoo] I thought the cake castle looked good
21:23:26 [BetsyAnn] LOL Moley
21:23:37 [Moley] I loved the Pink Castle! I have a model of it in my living room.
21:23:40 [Timon] Hey yous gotta problem wit New Yawk?
21:23:43 [snickerdoo] I know I was inn the minority tho
21:23:52 [tiltawhirl] put me in the 'hate' category on the castle transformation
21:23:54 [AndyL] well it was certainly a look lol
21:24:03 [Moley] I love New Yawk!
21:24:06 [HockeyMom] I thought the cake was kind of neat.
21:24:08 [snickerdoo] well at least they put it back!
21:24:18 [DisneyPam] I thought the castle/cake was cool but was glad it was only temporary
21:24:19 [Moley] LOL Andy!
21:24:32 [disneylove] ewww that cake was baaaadddd
21:24:38 [Moley] I agree with Pammy. Temporary on that one was good.
21:24:49 [snickerdoo] Hi Miss B
21:24:52 [HockeyMom] Hi MissB!
21:25:00 [MissB] Hi!!!
21:25:00 [Moley] Cake Good. Liver Bad.
21:25:13 [BetsyAnn] Welcome MissB to Attractions Roundup - we take a trip down expansion memory lane, and see just how many things have changed at WDW over the years.
21:25:18 [snickerdoo] what Moley?
21:25:30 [tiltawhirl] How about the anticipation of a NEW park opening? I was not really that excited about the opening of AK. I was there opening year, and was a bit let-down. BUt again, a similar theme to the first years of the Studios
21:25:36 [tiltawhirl] hi MissB
21:25:37 [disneylove] what was the building that had the NASA control roomin it,It also had the moving walkway
21:25:41 [Moley] That's Tarzan talk Snicker doo
21:25:41 [HockeyMom] Yep. If they decorate the castle like a liver, I AM NOT going!
21:25:42 [snickerdoo] the prices have sure changed!!!!
21:25:51 [MissB] I'm with Pammy on that pink cake, too, but I never saw it in person.
21:26:04 [Moley] LOL, Hockey Mom
21:26:06 [BetsyAnn] Now we are in my time lol -- Animal Kingdom had my interest from the start!
21:26:20 [tiltawhirl] lol@hockeyMom
21:26:21 [Moley] Mission to Mars, DL
21:26:29 [snickerdoo] did any body see the Tarzan cast on Wayne Brady today at epcot?
21:26:39 [disneylove] thanks moley
21:26:39 [AndyL] that'd be the wurst thing they could do to the castle.........
21:26:59 [BarbD] We got to go the first year Animal Kingdom opened and one change is the name on the dinasaour ride. It use to be called COuntdown to extinction
21:27:03 [Moley] Snort, Andy! 
21:27:28 [BetsyAnn] lol AndyL!
21:27:41 [HockeyMom] LOL Andy!
21:27:43 [Moley] Dinosaur is a much better name for it.
21:27:55 [BetsyAnn] Think the name change came out with the movie called - let me see Dinosaur!
21:28:00 [BetsyAnn]
21:28:06 [MissB] I was disappointed they never really got the boat ride working at the Animal Kingdom
21:28:11 [snickerdoo] that was done to coincide with the movie dinosaur
21:28:15 [tiltawhirl] it sure did BarbD! And I disagree with master Moley. I
thought countdown to Extinction was better
21:28:21 [HockeyMom] I didn't see Wayne today...
21:28:26 [BarbD] The ride is exactly the same ride as Indiana Jones at Disneyland so I keep thinking its that ride. lol
21:28:30 [AndyL] yeah and they toned down the ride too
21:28:39 [AndyL] less bumpy
21:28:43 [tiltawhirl] sans spiders eh Barb?
21:28:47 [snickerdoo] it used to work the boat ride) but they closed it as no one really liked it
21:29:14 [BetsyAnn] whispers - what a waste of great attractions technology on a attraction that should have rocked like the Indy ride at DL!
21:29:32 [BarbD] Another thing I think they changed the name in was the train ride to the back area. Cant remmerb the old or new name
21:29:35 [snickerdoo] Florence Henderson was on Wayne today live. She said the word @#$*! and the sensors missed it
21:29:41 [tiltawhirl] Is there anything that has you guys excited for the future of expansion? I am absolutely ECSTATIC about Expedition Everest
21:30:06 [AndyL] speaking of wasted tech, the first sound show was way better then Sounds Dangerous
21:30:13 [disneylove] umm in a word...no
21:30:22 [HockeyMom] Everest sounds neat... I'm sorry we have to lose food rocks to get it though.
21:30:23 [BetsyAnn] New name is Rifki planet watch
21:30:26 [BarbD] The first time i went to AK there was no ASIA land, now I love that raft ride but its way too short
21:30:26 [Moley] Old name: Conservation Station. New name: Rafiki's planet watch.
21:30:34 [DisneyPam] did anyone see me in Wayne's audience yesterday??
21:30:46 [BarbD] Ding sing sing. Moley has it, :-)
21:30:52 [snickerdoo] were you Pammy?
21:30:55 [Moley] Same here, Tilt. Expedition Everest will be my favorite ride.
21:31:00 [snickerdoo] I wish I would have known
21:31:05 [BetsyAnn] Can't wait for the Expedition Everest!
21:31:10 [Moley] Very much agree, Andy.
21:31:10 [HockeyMom] You were there? Neat.
21:31:15 [BarbD] Isnt Expediton suppose to be rllercoaster like?
21:31:20 [Timon] I agree with both Tilt and AndyL, can't wait for Expedition Everest and The first sound show was much better.
21:31:21 [disneylove] night all
21:31:27 [BetsyAnn] I agree Andy
21:31:32 [BetsyAnn] Night Disneylove
21:31:33 [tiltawhirl] I don't think they are taking away food rocks to get Everest installed HM?
21:31:34 [snickerdoo] I was there for Rosie a few times and Regis
21:31:45 [Moley] Durn, pammy. I didn't tape it.
21:31:49 [AndyL] they need more family rides at wDW, Thrill parks have no interest for me
21:32:00 [Timon] No Pam, missed you
21:32:01 [Moley] Yes, Barb, it will be a thrill ride.
21:32:23 [HockeyMom] Yep, I read they are using it for part of the que area.
21:32:24 [tiltawhirl] I think that Expedition will have the same thrill value as say BTMRR, but who knows
21:32:38 [BetsyAnn] Missed you today - Pammy - don't think I taped it
21:32:40 [Timon] I liked the TV thing better than Who Wants To Play Millionaire too.
21:32:47 [snickerdoo] well all, gotta go. Painting the dining room and getting yelled at because Im goffing off!
21:32:50 [BarbD] Cool, I imagine it to be like the one roller coaster they have at Sea World, not the kracken one but the one that goes through water and roller coaster tracks
21:32:54 [snickerdoo] goofing
21:32:55 [tiltawhirl] Food Rocks? I think you mean Sarin' over Orange
Groves
21:32:55 [Moley] A Soarin over Calif type ride will be where Food Rocks now is.
21:32:59 [BetsyAnn] I think the rumor about food rocks is something like Soaring over California
21:33:02 [tiltawhirl] soarin
21:33:03 [HockeyMom] night snickerdoo!
21:33:16 [snickerdoo] night HockeyMom!
21:33:30 [Moley] Triple Park Ranger jinx!
21:33:31 [snickerdoo] talk to yall soon!
21:33:31 [BetsyAnn] Good night snickerdoo! lol
21:33:37 [MissB] that's too bad snickerdoo--I always wanted to see more of the plants around the island
21:33:39 [BarbD] SOarin over is a great ride too. Theone in California is funa dn I finally got to ride the top row after 4 times riding it. I loved that even more as no feet to look at
21:33:51 [tiltawhirl] gnight HM and snickerdoo
21:33:52 [Timon] Night snickerdoo
21:33:52 [BetsyAnn] LOL - one mind - three bodies!
21:34:03 [Moley] Soarin' over Very Large Sinkholes.
21:34:05 [DisneyPam] LOL...thats okay guys....I think if I was on it was
only the back of my head.
21:34:09 [HockeyMom] oh yeah... your right... everest=Ak I'm a little slow tonight.
21:34:22 [Timon] Nite HM
21:34:40 [MissB] Man! I just watched the whole page fill up between the time I pushed send and my comment appeared!
21:35:11 [AndyL] yep having a bad lag too
21:35:25 [AndyL] nite HM
21:35:25 [HockeyMom] (I'm not leaving... just saying goodnight to snickerdoo)
21:35:34 [tiltawhirl] oh...lol
21:36:02 [Moley] Tilt is having that, too, everyone. This chat software doesn't agree with aol for one and others have some problems with it, too.
21:36:29 [MissB] gawrsh, at least I have good company!
21:36:42 [Moley] If you have heavy firewall security on your computer, it can cause a lag in here.
21:36:43 [BarbD] Can anyone tell me about MK parades? Is there one now and it continuining next year? Im sure this is one area wiht a lot of changes often
21:36:44 [HockeyMom] I had a hard time getting in the other day... it kept showing me in, but I wasn't there.
21:36:48 [BetsyAnn] So have there been a lot of changes at Pleasure Island?
21:36:50 [PaulF] Hey there
21:37:16 [HockeyMom] Finally BetsyAnn took pity on me and e-mailed me to get out of AOL.
21:37:22 [Moley] There have been quite a few parade changes over the year. The current one is popular and will probably stay for awhile.
21:37:24 [Timon] Yeah NO MORE WILD HORSE SALOON! &^#)&^$#&#
21:37:25 [BarbD] I still have to log in every single time I come to the site and Im not AOL
21:37:27 [DisneyPam] no more country music at PI.
21:37:31 [BetsyAnn] Welcome Paul F to Attractions Roundup - we take a trip down expansion memory lane, and see just how many things have changed at WDW over the years.
21:37:33 [tiltawhirl] if everyone could name their FAVORITE expansion thing over the past decade, what would it be?
21:37:36 [Moley] my own favorite was Mickey Mania back in the 90's.
21:37:39 [AndyL] Well Wildhorse and Neon Armidillo are gone
21:37:40 [tiltawhirl] hiya Paul!
21:37:45 [MissB] Yeah, what was the original Country place?
21:38:01 [MissB] And the Jazz place doesn't serve food any more
21:38:03 [BetsyAnn] No problem Hockey Mom --
21:38:05 [HockeyMom] Hi PaulF!
21:38:11 [AndyL] only place to line dance now is All American BBQ
21:38:16 [Moley] Tower of Terror, Tilt.
21:38:31 [Timon] Andy got it the Neon Armidillo
21:38:37 [AndyL] beside the goofy Show in MK
21:38:40 [BarbD] My favorite expansion has to be Rockin Roller coaster, (of course I havent had a chance to try the Mission to Mars yet)
21:38:43 [Moley] It transformed MGM studios and became an icon for it.
21:38:59 [tiltawhirl] I couldn't agree more Moley
21:39:25 [MissB] Asia is my favorite expansion, or maybe the AKL
21:39:27 [BarbD] Moley you know there is a Tower of Terror in California? I think it opens next year
21:39:27 [Timon] I think the best expansion was the openings of the Moderate hotels. Gave people on a limited budget a chance to get in on the Magic.
21:39:50 [Moley] here, here Timon! Good answer!!
21:40:06 [tiltawhirl] that is a great point Timon
21:40:09 [BetsyAnn] Sounds like the move to shut down the country clubs at was a bad move
21:40:36 [Timon] We stayed in AS Sp a week after it opened and I fell in love with staying on the grounds.
21:40:40 [Moley] The first moderate, Caribbean Beach opened in 1988.
21:40:45 [BetsyAnn] great, timon!
21:40:50 [PaulF] My favorite expansion would be the Boardwalk/Epcot resorts area, but I have a personal stake there. Just love the whole area to bits.
21:41:25 [Timon] I think the Wild Horse Saloon was too big but the Neon Armadillo was the right size for the country fans.
21:41:50 [AndyL] Miss the Fireworks Factory too
21:41:53 [tiltawhirl] <cough>DVC member<cough>
21:42:11 [PaulF] where?
21:42:12 [BetsyAnn] lol tilt!
21:42:29 [Timon] I'm w/you tilt, DVC member too at BCV
21:42:32 [BetsyAnn] What was that Andy?
21:42:36 [Moley] LOL, Tilt
21:42:43 [AndyL] eatery
21:42:50 [DisneyPam] yeah....wish Jazz served food....would be nice on Toxic Audio nights.
21:42:54 [Moley] It was the predecessor of the Wild Horse Saloon
21:43:01 [Timon] good food too AndyL
21:43:09 [tiltawhirl] I enjoy an evening there too Paul
21:43:10 [AndyL] county western type food
21:43:10 [Moley] They had great ribs there.
21:43:31 [MissB] How about Disney's West Side and especially DisneyQuest--those were good expansions especially for teens
21:43:39 [PaulF] Never made it into the country bars at PI. Just not our 'thang'.
21:43:45 [HockeyMom] I can't believe there's not a country western venue at PI
21:43:53 [tiltawhirl] lol@paul
21:43:54 [PaulF] Virgin Music Megastore!
21:44:01 [HockeyMom] We've never been to PI
21:44:04 [Moley] Disney Quest was a wonderful expansion.
21:44:05 [BarbD] DIsneyquest is my favorite and Im older than teen, lol. this 40 something love Disneyquest
21:44:11 [MissB] Me, either HM, it's the most popular music in so much of the country
21:44:16 [tiltawhirl] The Lego Store!!!
21:44:23 [Moley] it gave somenight life to teens too young for PI by themselves.
21:44:24 [Timon] I miss all of the bar tenders at The Adventurers Club being named Nash too.
21:44:30 [BetsyAnn] I love DQ too - how much fun is that!
21:44:33 [MissB] World of Disney!
21:44:41 [BarbD] When I went in 1998 it just opened and they charged to get in plus you paid for points to play, now its unlimited and I love that a lot
21:44:41 [Moley] I love it, too,Barb.
21:44:52 [Timon] HM you've got to go to the Adventurers Club. I'm sure you'd love it.
21:45:04 [tiltawhirl] as far as best show, Cirque takes the cake
21:45:17 [tiltawhirl] um, I mean, Circus of the Sun
21:45:21 [MissB] I love the Adventurer's Club! I never get past that and the Jazz place before it's time to go!
21:45:27 [BetsyAnn] I guess one of the changes I didn't love was when they stopped the boat ride from PO to DD
21:45:30 [BarbD] I especially love to make my own roller coaster. I made one that did nothing but flip over and a little bit sideways. It was a blast
21:45:35 [MissB] Cirque takes the gateau
21:45:37 [HockeyMom] Hi TwirlerGir
21:45:44 [tiltawhirl] hi TwirlerGir
21:45:44 [TwirlerGir] Hi everybody!
21:45:53 [BetsyAnn] Welcome TwilerGirl to Attractions Roundup - we take a trip down expansion memory lane, and see just how many things have changed at WDW over the years.
21:46:06 [HockeyMom] They are doing the boat again though aren't they?
21:46:07 [BarbD] I saw Cirque and I guess Im strage because It didnt do anything for me, I thought it was weird., but my husband loved it so hes our normal one I guess
21:46:10 [PaulF] BarbD, did you know you can just ask them for a Level 5 coaster and ride it?
21:46:33 [tiltawhirl] WAY too easy Paul! LOL
21:46:40 [BetsyAnn] Yes - I think they are HM
21:46:42 [MissB] Paul, what's a L5 coaster like in the DQ simulator?
21:46:52 [Timon] I know what you mean BarbD. I love cyber SM
21:47:02 [PaulF] I kept trying to build a nasty coaster and Level 3 was the best I could ever do. lol
21:47:04 [BarbD] Paul it was my birthday when I did it and not only did I ride my own level 5 they let me ride a second time with out getting off the guy who ran the rides favorite level 5, that was a great day
21:47:24 [BarbD] I built all level 5's
21:47:24 [PaulF] Lots of upside down time. ;-)
21:47:30 [PaulF]
21:47:32 [MissB] eek
21:47:33 [Moley] Does anyone remember when Epcot had a daytime water show, followed by hard balloons of giant characters arising around the lagoon?
21:47:44 [MissB] No!
21:47:54 [tiltawhirl] I sure don't moley
21:47:56 [HockeyMom] no
21:47:59 [MissB] When was that, Moley?
21:48:00 [AndyL] Level 5? Sound like potental protein spill to me
21:48:00 [BarbD] No moley sounds like an Epcot thing though
21:48:07 [BarbD] :-)
21:48:37 [Moley] I don't remember if it was our 1985 trip or 1989.
21:48:48 [AndyL] yehh someting with hovercraft, kites and waterskinig
21:48:52 [Timon] I don't remember that Moley, but I remember when they used to spot light all of the different countries. I liked that better then the current illuminations.
21:48:58 [Moley] Andy, that was it!
21:49:14 [HockeyMom] we weren't there either of those years...
21:49:27 [MissB] Waterskiing at Epcot???
21:49:30 [tiltawhirl] unless you were into the MExican Purple-tops that day
Moley
21:49:38 [PaulF] My recollections only go back to 96. I'm such a punk.
21:49:54 [Moley] LOL, Tilt
21:50:00 [MissB] I came to WDW late in live, never went until 1989
21:50:03 [DisneyPam] I am so glad they changed IllumiNations...you can't beat the current one. It has an awesome original score.
21:50:06 [AndyL] only by performers Miss B
21:50:13 [BarbD] Until 1998 I never visited FLorida. We always went to Disneyland in California
21:50:23 [MissB] and there was no waterskiing there...lol, Andy!
21:50:47 [PaulF] well, gotta go. You folks all have a good wek.
21:50:55 [PaulF] or week, if you'd rather
21:51:00 [AndyL] bye Paul
21:51:02 [Timon] DisneyPam did you see it when the spot lighted each of the countries?
21:51:09 [MissB] Wek to you Paul!
21:51:09 [Moley] Night Paul.
21:51:13 [BetsyAnn] Good night Paul - thanks for coming
21:51:13 [tiltawhirl] gnight Paul
21:51:16 [Timon] Thanks PaulF you too.
21:51:34 [Moley] That was a very beautiful effect, Timon.
21:51:35 [BetsyAnn] I think I remember the spotlight on the countries
21:51:38 [HockeyMom] night paul
21:52:01 [tiltawhirl] wek-Vulcan for kiss
21:52:02 [HockeyMom] the last time I was there they were still spotlighting countries.
21:52:09 [MissB] It was a nice effect, that spotlight. I'd like to see something with elements of both programs.
21:52:11 [AndyL] how about a recent MIA =TON
21:52:35 [Moley] I'll miss that one, Andy
21:52:41 [MissB] Was TON Epcot's first parade?
21:52:52 [Timon] I don't remember seeing that happen in May HM.
21:53:02 [HockeyMom] I wanted to see TON so bad... but missed it completely
21:53:14 [Moley] yes, it was, Miss B.
21:53:15 [MissB] HM, when is your next trip?
21:53:17 [tiltawhirl] Whats everybodys vote on the WORST expansion of the last decade?
21:53:27 [DisneyPam] yep TImon....hated it.
21:53:29 [HockeyMom] I was last there in 99 timon.
21:53:40 [Moley] Journey Into Your Imagination.
21:53:42 [BarbD] I saw the TOD and I thouhgt it was a great parade with a great soundtrack. I listen to it in the car a lot of time
21:53:51 [tiltawhirl] mine would be Journey Into Imagination, Your Imagination, and whatever the heck else they call that attraction
21:53:52 [HockeyMom] I mean 98.. We're going in Dec.
21:53:55 [AndyL] AE for it's location. Not a MK ride IMO
21:53:55 [MissB] heheh, I'm not going to be popular but my pix is Tower of Terror
21:54:04 [HockeyMom] JIYI
21:54:10 [Timon] I never saw TOD
21:54:19 [BetsyAnn] Would be my vote too! -- that change was not pretty
21:54:23 [BarbD] tilt I have to agree. I never understood that Journey to imagination and Im sure I still wont understand the new one either
21:54:31 [AndyL] would have been better in the studios IMO
21:54:36 [Moley] Andy, that's another good 'worst' pick. I hope Stitch transforms it back into something attraction worthy.
21:54:56 [Moley] Oh Boo, Miss B!
21:55:14 [MissB] The thought of it is tooo scary, Moley!
21:55:22 [HockeyMom] I just watched Lilo & Stitch for the first time Monday... that could be an awesome ride.
21:55:23 [MissB] Brrrrr
21:55:24 [tiltawhirl] I agree Andy
21:55:24 [BetsyAnn] lol MissB -- you ever been on it?!?!
21:55:29 [BarbD] Now ask the same question about California Adventure and I have to say Superstar limo. It was so dumb and I think thats why it closed down so fast
21:55:34 [Moley] Interesting point,Andy. I think I might have liked it okay there, now that you mention it.
21:55:46 [MissB] no way, BetsyAnn!
21:55:54 [BetsyAnn] So has all the imagination for a better future been lost at Disney?
21:56:11 [tiltawhirl] Superstar Limo is the lame west-coast counter part of JIYI Barb
21:56:14 [MissB] Nope--look at Mission Space!
21:56:20 [Timon] I think I agree w/Andy AE just doesn't fit in at MK. I never liked mission to Mars either.
21:56:24 [AndyL] Imagine it reworked as Alien with Ripley
21:56:28 [HockeyMom] I thought A.E was okay, but not really scarey... more gross... alien drool ICK.
21:56:37 [BetsyAnn] and thus tomorrowland has become obsolute?
21:56:47 [tiltawhirl] I think there are some REALLY cool things on the horizon at WDW BA. I have a positive and less cynical outlook these days
21:56:57 [MissB] Well, it's now the tomorrow of yesteryear
21:57:00 [AndyL] put a new scene in GMR where Alien is now
21:57:03 [Moley] No, BA, not at all. If Expedition Everest is what I expect and Mission Space continues to wow the crowds, Disney is not down for the count in Imagineering.
21:57:14 [MissB] I think the Tomorrowland at EuroDisney is the best--Jules Verne theme
21:57:20 [BetsyAnn] From my childhood - Tomorrowland was my favorite land - now it seems to be a leftover
21:57:38 [Moley] Plus the best theme park in the world in terms of innovations is Disney Sea, all Imagineered by Disney American Employees.
21:57:48 [TwirlerGir] I agree BetsyAnn
21:57:54 [MissB] I'll tell you some lame ones--the two Dumbo rip offs in Dinoland and Aladdin
21:58:08 [BetsyAnn] Both coasts have the same problems with tomorrowland --
21:58:12 [tiltawhirl] tomorrowland is the largest waste of prime real estate in the MK BA. I sure hope they give it the cash infusion it needs
21:58:29 [MissB] Buzz is fun!
21:58:42 [BetsyAnn] Just thought I would ask?!?!
21:58:49 [HockeyMom] Gotta run... have a Disney night everyone!
21:58:57 [tiltawhirl] there was a story Moley of the folks that built DisneySea coming to Disneyland to see where it all started. They were HORRIFIED at how things have changed. Not to be an Al Lutz or anything
21:58:57 [TwirlerGir] The land that time and Eisner forgot.
21:59:01 [AndyL] nit HM
21:59:02 [tiltawhirl] gnight HM
21:59:05 [BetsyAnn] Good night Hockey Mom!
21:59:05 [Moley] Destroy the Little Cars and put up a Matterhorn!
21:59:12 [Timon] Other than Buzz & SM there's not much that interests me in tomorrowland
21:59:20 [tiltawhirl] here here Moley!
21:59:23 [Timon] night HM
21:59:30 [DisneyPam] gotta hit the hay....shopping with Sammie tomorrow.
21:59:36 [Moley] LOL, Twirler Girl!!
21:59:44 [Timon] Ditto Moley
21:59:45 [tiltawhirl] gnight DP take care
21:59:48 [TwirlerGir] Night!
