I know, with the DuckTales reboot now ended and not as recognized as the original anyway, they really messed up on that.

With the news of Phinneas and Ferb coming back I’d love rocking roller coaster re-themed to feature them and all the awesome songs on that show. SIMP (squirrels in my pants) is an all time favorite in our house.

There’s so many, we have the original CD from when the show first started. My son was a toddler when the show debuted and while he didn’t get a lot of the stuff thrown in for adults all the music kept him interested.

I had “there’s a platypus controlling me, he’s underneath the table,” stuck in my head a couple day ago.

We love Little Brothers - “cause you’re younger, we’re related, and you’re boys”

I Ain’t Got Rhythm is also a banger.

Perry the Teenage Girl is a classic refrain

Dude, we're getting the band back together!

This looks like the one Tokyo is getting too. I assume Hong Kong's version will have every character looking like this one too. I would 100% be up for a refurb that replaces the screen faces for these.

I would agreed except...have they fixed the animatronic of Ariel in WDW MK yet? Is her mouth still not working and does she still have a droopy eyelid? This was back in spring 2022 and I haven't heard mention that she's working again. The maintenance at WDW has been atrocious and it was made more obvious to me after our December visit to Universal and all the rides felt sooooo smooth (with the exception of flight of the hippogriff). I'd rather they stick with the off color screens if they aren't going to fix what they already have.

Is it just me or have Ariel's eyes been like that for a long time, maybe even since the beginning? (Jan 2017 was the first time we'd ridden this attraction - so I don't know what it looked like prior to then). Both Eric and Ariel looked stoned to us, lol. DH and I always comment to each other on that each trip. It looks like Eric's eyes were fixed in the last couple of years though.

Fantasmic Performances at Disneyland Canceled Through February 2

I wonder if it's because of all the wet weather CA has been experiencing and they decided to just wait until things were clear.
