ever since Walt died everything that made Disney good is gone. Think about it, the original shops on main street each had a them( wizard of bras, the candle shop, flower shop,) Now all of the stores at Disney sell the same stuff but they just have different names. Disney channel used to be all about mickey and his friends, Now Disney channel only has bad TV shows with bratty teenagers. Walt's original concept for Disneyland was a place where parents and kids could have fun together, now Disney is all about making money. Walt didn't care if he made money or not on Disneyland, he just wanted families to have fun together. Disney is all wrong… Walt wouldn't want this.

they are also getting rid of the peach swing. They are going to remake it to be a mickey themed swing.

you are wrong to say “most kids don't care about Goofy or the Silly Symphonies or the Carthay Theater”. not that it isn't true, but the point is they SHOULD be interested in history and it is up to the parents and the park to show the history so the little kids don't grow up being idiots like some people who post on this site. I do agree that the entire idea of putting a California themed land in California was the single dumbest thing they ever did (pixar or no pixar). The reason New Orleans Square wasn't put in Disney World was because they thought it was too close to the real thing. If you travel to California and want to see the landmarks you are going to visit the landmarks (related dumbass theme area: Universal Studios actually has a mural of the Hollywood hills as a photo backdrop on the same deck that overlooks the Hollywood hills.) Back to Disney, just build a replica of Tokyo's DisneySea instead and I'll call it good enough.

You are wrong. Michael Jackson's 3D attraction was a Walt Disney Production called CAPTAIN EO by producer George Lucas and director Francis Ford Coppola. It had nothing to do with Thriller. It was a Walt Disney movie that showed within the parks themselves much like AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL which used the CircleVision process instead of the 3D process.

Splash Mountain was INDEED based on characters from the Walt Disney Classic SONG OF THE SOUTH. If you actually rode on it (I suspect you haven't) you couldn't miss Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear or the fact the entire song track from SONG OF THE SOUTH. Though you may not consider SONG OF THE SOUTH a hit, many people do.

i agree with many here, some of this is great, but all of the re-theming is silly. Most kids don't care about Goofy or the Silly Symphonies or the Carthay Theater… the front gate was beautiful and unique while the new entrance looks just like another ripoff of Florida. Hollywoodland needs the most help – the Muppets are old retreads, the Millionaire building is still empty… the whole park needs rides NOT newly faced shops and a mickey face on the Sun Wheel. and the scary thing is they're doing so much at once, we will be stuck with all this for a long long time. Someone needs to reel in John Lasseter and whoever else thought up “California Pixar Adventure Land” Disney can and has done sooooo much better.

Splash Mountain WAS based on a popular Disney Movie -the Song of the South. They also used some of the characters from a Disneyland attraction “America Sings”.
