And I'm sure he avoids all toons throughout the parks ).

I don't hate toons per say, it is more like I like Ice Cream, but if I ate too much, it would make me sick. And that is what has happened here for me with toons. Sorry, but Mickey Mouse has no place in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Meet and greet before the show, I can kind of forgive, being a part of the recreation of the rough riders show in Paris over 100 years ago, unforgiveable IMHO.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Well, once upon a time, there were plans to build a moderate resort called Buffalo Junction between the Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness (think the Cheyenne with more facilities and a steam train). This was supposed to have a BBWWS. But this was back before Eisner got scared and they decided to build stupid All Stars, Pop Centuries and Animation Resorts. Also, to be fair, Buena Vista near Disneyland used to have Wild Bills (now a Pirate show) and Medieval times, and Orlando is competing with Wild Bills, Arabian Nights, Medieval Times and Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede (now closed). I have been to most of these shows at BBWWS is the very best IMHO. That said, there was once a plan to change BBWWS to a Zorro show with mexican food at one stage.

Disney has to change the show in the future. I just hope it will not be a toon show.

I doesn't have that cold look anymore.

I hate the toonification.
