Imagine that if everything went the way Walt wanted it, there would be no other Disney parks beside the one in Anaheim.

@TheCubanGringo actually, I believe he wanted to build a second Disneyland in Orlando but other than that I don't think he had much else in mind other than his EPCOT city. In fact, half the reason for wanting to go to Florida was to be able to build Disneyland and not have a bunch of cheesy hotels surrounding the place and screwing up the atmosphere. I think his original idea was to build Disneyland and then have EPCOT surrounding it

The carousel at 1:19 reminds me, that's like a running theme with Disney World. Carousel of Progress, Fantasyland carousel, the one in Small World. I think it's because that's where Walt first conceived Disneyland.

@jackhornsby

That's an interesting point. Walt also once said that he felt "Every park should have a carousel" which is why he put one in Disneyland

[ztslovebird]

@jackhornsby I think it might be an homage to the carousel that Walt's little girls were riding on when he thought "Hey, why can't there be a place where kids AND parents can ride side-by-side and have fun?"

[Dragonrider1227]

@ztslovebird I always liked how he said that. It's like Walt speak for "Why can't there be a place that doesn't suck?" XD

Walt would have loved this ride.

the old one is so much better than the newer one!

[AEventyr]

We would ALWAYS save this for the final ride for our day at Epcot. I miss the Dreamfinder version terribly. Poor Figment, having to share the space with Dr. Channing now. It's just not the same.

hey, ant about 5:25 is he mocking the hitchiking ghosts on HM?

[pariskt]

This is still an incredible ride. It's unconscionable that Disney took it out and replaced it with the epic fail of a ride that's there now. If rides like it's a small world, Peter Pan and Jungle Cruise can survive intact, why did they have to ruin this one?

[whitewolf1310]

The music from 1:06 to 2:15 was so beautiful and full of nature

[Hottelio120]

This is better than the new one

[HouCuseChickie95]

Looks like a hidden Mickey at 1:12 w/the bird's tail on the carousel. Oh how I miss this original version of the ride :(

[clayrox117]

@greekyct it is. I saw some ride blueprints of both this original one and of the new one, and the new one blocks off, like, a third of the ride system

[RossEStern]

why did they change this! i like how the new ride uses modern technology but its not as creative and its not even the same theme! USE YOUR FREEK'N IMAGINATION DISNEY!!!

@Thoralmir Everyone experiences their mid-life crisis differently. If Walt Disney's led to the creation of Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and the other Disney Parks, I won't be the first to start complaining!

[Thoralmir]

@ztslovebird Well, moreso after his mid-life crisis for sure.
