I do get some things right from time to time. And, please, feel free to call me "Patchy". My friends all do!

Oh, please. I don't think anyone could reasonably match changing the name of a carousel, one small and, if I may, rather generic ride, with changing the name of a huge, iconic structure. It isn't a valid analogy, and I think you know it.

Nether WDW or DL belongs to any one character. They are there for ALL of the Disney characters we love. It isn't "Cinderella-world" nor "Sleeping Beauty Land". If any character should get special honors, it is The Mouse himself.

Correct. That's always been the name of Disneyland's carrousel. :cool:

Ok,

So now I am a purveyor of urban style mass transportation.

The catchy new name goes with the flashy new outfit.

Wasnt it that carousel, or was it the one at WDW that was purchased from Sunnyside amusement park in Toronto?

But alas even the mouse himself has been evicted and replaced with the spreading of pooh and stitch.

Thought the parks may not belong to one character. it has always been Cinderella's Fantasyland at MK and Sleeping Beauty's Fantasyland at DL.

Why do they always have to trash WDW with this crap? Pile some of this on DL for a change. They come in a tear down everything WDW fans love and replace it with garbage. Yet those SAME rides remain at DL. Would be nice for my children to grow up knowing what Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was. But no, if they want that now, they have to go to DL and ride that half baked version, that though it came first, was made 100 times better at WDW (as with most of the rides at WDW).

Nothing at WDW is sacred anymore.
