I see this article has poped up on msn.com, http://cityguides.msn.com/citylife/a...7443&GT1=10269, and just thought to share it

I just finished reading that and was going to post something about it (great minds think alike ). It was a really nice article. I actually remembered a few of those things.

Good catch!
Stupid me just started a thread and accidentally put it in the Entertainment section here............

Ignore mine everyone!

I'm glad someone else posted about this. I agree with some of it, mostly just about the roaming characters. I do feel like a stalker now when I try to find them, and frantically try to take a picture before they disapear.
I never got a chance to see some of the things in the artical, they were gone before my time, but I found it interesting.

What a great article. I totally agree on most counts. It's not just us geeks who care...

Thanks for posting the link. awesomeman.

LOL

Perhaps a slasher-movie take on “It’s a Small World,” as Chuckie of “Child’s Play” fame takes a troupe of ethnically diverse dolls on a terrifying yet ultimately heart-warming rampage.

The author's top ten things he misses about Disneyland:

10. Flight to the Moon/Mission to Mars
9. House of the Future
8. Adventure Thru Inner Space
7. Carousel of Progress/America Sings
6. Country Bear Jamboree
5. Indian Village
4. Pack Mules
3. Skyway
2. Swiss Family Treehouse
1. Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln/America the Beautiful

Personally, I would replace Flight to the Moon, Carousel of Progress, Pack Mules and Indian Village with Golden Horseshoe Revue, Tahitian Terrace, Sleeping Beauty Castle Diorama and Captain Hook's Pirate Ship/Skull Rock - - but a great list nonetheless, espcially Swiss Family Robinson, Skyway and Adventure Thru Inner Space.

[Goofy Daddy]

Yes! Bring back skull rock!

[AwesomeMan33]

of course now I would be sure to put up the Original Disney Gallery too.

MSN reporter Rick Vanderknyff has done a fun article about our beloved park, and the top 10 attractions he misses. The attractions are:

Rocket to the Moon / Mission to Mars

Monsanto's House of the Future

Adventure Thru Inner Space

Carousel of Progress / America Sings

Country Bear Jamboree

The Indian Village

Rainbow Ridge Pack Mules

The Skyway

Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse

Great Moments with Mr Lincoln / America The Beautiful


He also has something to say about the lack of 'free-range' characters wandering around the park, where you didn't have to get into a queue just to have your picture taken with them. To read the article, please go to http://cityguides.msn.com/citylife/a...7443&GT1=10269

Leave it to Disneyland to turn Snow White into the preschool version of Paris Hilton, kids into celebrity stalkers and parents into slightly disgruntled paparazzi.

My new favorite line ever.

Just thought you guys would like to see what was on my MSN splash page when I logged in today.

Looks like someone has been reading Yesterland.....

EDIT: Well, guess my thread got mertged with this one. Teach me to read the boards before I post....

I was impressed with the article. It was refreshing to read something from someone who is a big fan of the park, obviously informed and not afraid to talk about faults he finds with the park. It was a nice change of pace from the usual sugar-coated "Disney is the greatest and most perfect place ever!" articles that one usually sees. I'm also glad this one didn't have a picture of Cinderella Castle.

This attraction—with people in native costume on display—would never fly today, and rightly so.

How could anyone find Indian Village offensive?

How could anyone find Indian Village offensive?

Because as a group, if you can prove something offended you, your constituants may be in for a monetary bonus to pay for the obvious pain and suffering.
