Future fanbois will rejoice. My reaction simply is another REALLY?!??! They feel the need to waste time, money and resources on this? What's the backstory for turning Main Street's west side into a giant World of Disney crap outlet? I have asked this question many, many times and never gotten an answer, nor do I expect one now. But both examples showcase how out of touch TDO is with what WDW was, is and always should be.

Frankly, this whole FLE gets a big yawn from me. Call me when Disney decides to build rides like Horizons or Pirates again...

They are likely the second largest group that loves that stuff after the stroller brigade.

Honestly it has never been anything other than Cinderell's carousel/merry-go-round. I assure you my kids never asked to go on 'Cinderella's Golden Carrousel' & they rarely added the 'Cinderella' when address the ride. I could be wrong(I often am) but this looks like a clear case of someone trying to justify their existence/paycheck. Look how busy I am thinking(notice I didn't say creating) up these 'cleaver' ideas...Yeah me! OMG I just realized Disney must be hiring ex government workers.

There are plenty of other deserving candidates for rides before the princess: Robin Hood, Jungle Book, Hercules, etc.

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer Yes. Was thinking about that the other day. Build elaborate sets, and put a screen behind it to REALLY jazz it up. Would work wonders in the TLM ride they won't be putting any effort into.
