Esp. the girls.
Seriously, ...What all of you said. Esp. the girls.<br /><br />Seriously, I love this little ride. It's quiet and serene, the stories are suited to small kids, no flashes, bangs or scary things, except the whale at the beginning. I think coming out into the daylight softens that shock too.<br /><br />The meticulous little buildings and miniature landscape are one-of-a-kind in my experience. And the topper for me is the view of the Matterhorn beyond the forced perspective mountain peaks in the little alpine village (Pinocchio, I think).<br /><br />I also like that they have delicately added little models of buildings from later movies to "update" the ride, without changing it's character. (Aladdin's Palace, Triton's castle, etc.) In my youth, the boat storage area was "Never-Never Land, because we never never take you there...". Ha Ha. I think these changes will help the next generations love this ride as I do.<br /><br />My kids won't ride this with me anymore...they're "too big". :^(<br /><br />Thanks for this!<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19940374.post-46723783373304059412010-04-01T08:16:22.878-07:002010-04-01T08:16:22.878-07:00I prefer the cute girls at Storybook Land!I prefer the cute girls at Storybook Land!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19940374.post-56607973935561773512010-04-01T08:15:33.619-07:002010-04-01T08:15:33.619-07:00Everything Thufer said!

I always enjoy seeing 'male' boat helmspersons. Sorry, couldn't resist.<br />I always, make time for this ride when I go to the park. For some reason, I feel this ride evokes a 'closeness' to Walt and his early vision. This is what the 'little train park' at the studio would have been like (IMHO).<br />I truly hope THEY never remove this gem. I personally feel the value and integerty of Disneyland whould be deminished if they did.Thuferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692445357659425688noreply@blogger.com
