Another interesting video! I will say this is what I miss about current Disney is theming. When back in Eisner and Wells's time as CEO they can put that much effort into working with imagineers on theming when designing ( parks, upscale restaurants, shops and hotels) and now with Iger and Chapek it is all about slapping a IP on an existing ride and/or restaurant.

I parked and walked through the Boardwalk on my way to Flying Fish the other night and I had never realized how interesting and well themed the hotel was until then. I had never approached it from the front, but to see the lobby propped up on a hill with the driveway symmetrically flanking the portes-cochère allowed it to feel grand and exciting when walking up. It had also been my first time exploring the lobby and I saw so much cultural context popping out from the props, paintings and architecture throughout, that it made me realize how much contemporary Disney hotels are missing. It would never be an interesting throwback to Coney Island, but would instead be a slightly more themed Hilton.

The immense care that they took recreating both spaces is honestly something to be praised. Right down to the wallpaper, color palletes, to the light fixtures. One of the last things I got to do with my grandma now over a decade ago was on our Disney trip just me and her went to eat at The Brown Derby while the rest of the group went to prime time because we wanted a GOOD meal and to take the chance to dress up a little bit. When we went in, my grandmother was taken back a little bit and started tearing up which o had no idea why. It was during that meal that I learned that during the war when we was in LA working with the military hospital, one of the girls she lived with was a seamstress working at Warner Bros and took my grandmother along to show her the sets at the studio and many nights at the Brown Derby. My grandmother was a troubled and somewhat complicated person, and sadly I don’t have all that many good memories of/with her. But that night will always be one of my favorites.

Dining at Disney has always been one of my favorite parts of my trips, no matter the price range. Imagineering seems to know that since the sit down locations are simultaneously a place where you will be a captive audience to sit and look at details while also not having to make every space usable like a queue line is, they can cram it with so much atmosphere and fun references to the theme they’re going for. I had just as much fun sitting in the DCA Starbucks and picking up on the Silver Lake Sisters lore the other day as I did eating at the Carthay Circle restaurant a couple trips back and enjoying the pristine vibes of that. Not to mention that Disney is largely very good at food overall.

It's so sad that these parks once seemed to celebrate the golden age of Hollywood (to varying degrees) but have moved away from that. These restaurants now feel like relics not only of golden Hollywood but also a Disney company that cared about what it was doing.

The next time we go to Disney in September will be the last time until they learn to shape themselves, but we will totally be going to the Brown Derby when we go to Hollywood. It sounds like a fun dining experience! While they are really declining in ride and land quality, Disney is really good in terms of food. On the topic of nicely themed restaurants, I really love the visuals and atmosphere of Be Our Guest, though I will definitely say it’s a very overpriced restaurant. I remember in my last time to Islands of Adventure, I walked into the circus restaurant in Seuss Landing. Not for the food (I’ve heard bad things about it), but for the theming and the interesting circus antics on the ceiling. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or bad thing…

Mythos and Confiscos are alright if you order the right dish and the Three Broomsticks is decent, but otherwise the place is a minefield. Circus McGurkus, Cafe 4, and Comic Strip Cafe are abysmal. I would genuinely say that the City Walk Burger King is a better alternative. I can't speak for Burger Digs or Thunder Falls Terrace, but I'm inclined to think that those aren't much better either.

When I watch the videos of it, most of the movies are movies I have never seen, don't have a desire to see, or have watched and didn't enjoy.

MMRR has no thematic sense in the park. It doesn’t fit in a park that’s about experiencing the movies. MM wouldn’t even fit the old Hollywood Studios theme. Most of those films that were in GMR are films that have been highly praised and believe it or not are still talked about to this day and are referenced in many movies and even used as lessons in filmmaking by college professors and film enthusiasts on KZread. Like you, I sometimes find myself not enjoying some of these older films like I would enjoy a modern action film, but I could certainly respect and admire their effects on the film industry and the art of film in general. I’d say there would still be many people that love those movies like Mary Poppins, Wizard of Oz, Alien, films that have gone down as classics and are favorites among many people. I agree that maybe GMR could’ve used new scenes at some point. It would have maybe helped it give a longer lifespan. However, MMRR, while not necessarily a bad ride, I think is semi decent. It really is just bland tacky cartoon wackiness that is not fulfilling in any substantial way. I guess MMRR got the whacky part right but it follows no clear narrative and never really feels like a runaway train. Just a sightseeing tour in different areas of the Mickey Mouse cartoons. The transitions in between scenes is very jarring (you go from the Old West, to a carnival? And then to a sewer? And then to Daisy’s dancing class? Huh?). The trackless system is underutilized (no unexpected movements and the ride vehicles or tracks don’t follow along with any story beats, besides the swaying motion in Daisy’s room so points for that one), there are no effects to immerse you into the experience (is it really that hard to put like two fans set on high in the tornado scene to simulate the tornados wind? Or vibrating seats in the jackhammer scene when it already vibrates at the end of the ride?). The 2 1/2 D tech is really just advanced projections that don’t even look that impressive.

I cannot speak for others but I don’t believe that Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway was a worthy replacement of Great Movie Ride. Also it is the fact that Disney could have done so much more with The Great Movie Ride and a missed opportunity especially with all the new IP's they acquired like Marvel, Star Wars and 20TH Century Fox they could have added newer movies and maybe even expanded the building and put more scenes with more animatronics and screens into it. That’s what should’ve been done since allegedly there is such a huge part of the show building that was not used when the Great Movie Ride was converted to Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway. They absolutely had the room for 3 more show scenes and then some; which really makes no sense; seeing how the Great Movie Ride which is based in Disney's Hollywood Studios could have illustrated their new IP's. In closing while I do not disdain Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway I just feel it would have been great as another addition to Hollywood Studios, instead of replacing the iconic Great Movie Ride. Disney could have created the Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at another location. Seeing how Disneyland Park Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway building is larger and has room for a few additional scenes just shows Disney knew they need to do better on the next version.

What? MMRR definitely does not utilize any classic style for Mickey or the characters. Their character design is from 2013 and emulates the Canadian studios that became prominent on Cartoon Network.

The attraction was created to celebrate cinema and explore a variety of interesting film genres, all the while covering significant films that influenced the industry in one way or another.

Umm guy, this channel does way more than just Disney lol. In fact some people despise this channel because they think Poseidon is a Disney hater and Universal shill, but he’ll even do some international theme parks. Personally, I agree on your statement of Universal being the new king, but I think Epic Universe will really get that message out there. I still love Disney, but cannot deny the quality of the experience has overall deteriorated. I hope a resurrection or revival of sorts is in order for Disney in the near future… who knows, we could have two kings. I haven’t lost that hope…

Okay, and who do you think was a major proponent of that narrative?
