Low tech, nothing fancy, certainly not E ticket but people just love it. I rode it twice on our last visit and would have gone a few more times if I thought I could have gotten away with it.

Originally Posted By Spyderman The way John Lasseter was praising it at that D23 presentation you would think it was an exciting e-ticket. I know its his job to play company man but come on. The whole bugs land thing is cheap and out of place in DCA.

We say go ahead and embrace Heimlich and enjoy yourself as much as you can. It's these little treats in Life that serve to encourage us in an, otherwise, dreary world...

Originally Posted By ImTempest Ah, Heimlich was a wonderful friend to us on our son's first trip to DLR four years ago - he was the starting point for us to work our way up to the bigger rides! Loved it!
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 We get a kick out of riding it once or twice a year. You are right, it's low tech and corny, but the theme is so cute and the narration is so funny that it draws us back just for the fun of it

Originally Posted By dizkid YES!!! I've been accepted by the Witches. I can cross that off my bucket list.
Originally Posted By Schmitty Good Vibes I'm like danyoung. While it's tempting because of this topic, I just don't want to give something such as this even one turnstyle click to give anyone the idea that this kind of stuff is acceptable in a Disney theme park.
Originally Posted By crazycroc If you give it one turnstyle click, you will give it hundreds. I think once you ride it, you will see that it is acceptable.
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I just want to say that I'm glad that Witches of Morva are back. Gals, you've been missed!

I just might have to check into it on my next visit!? I'm in that boat. It just never seemed like something I'd be interested in. But hearing all these adult-types say they enjoy it - maybe I'll have to try it next time.
