I have such mixed feelings about a literal "Walt" show in Disneyland. I guess I just hope the animatronic is really, really good, because I think most of us that would see a show like that have seen a lot of footage of him. It's not like the Hall of Presidents where a recent one might just stand up and say a few lines. It's all him.

I'm also a little worried about the attendance for it, knowing my kids were acting like I threw them in jail when I took them to Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. It's a whole other world of audiences now, and I hope it's part of a whole engaging attraction about Disney history, done in a way that gets eyeballs. I kinda think you need to go rather big with this, akin to some of the Disney Vault museum shows that have been traveling around the country, which were very good and a lot of people came to.

I hear what you are saying Brian. And I too hope that the show generates lots of interest and high attendance. But I also think it would be okay to have a really good attraction devoted to the man who started it all that doesn't necessarily draw huge crowds and long waits. It’s important to honor Walt and tell his story. And there is no better place to do that than at Disneyland.

The one that excites me the most is the Magic Kingdom finally getting a new nighttime parade.
