"Collect your things and get out" Completely justifiable Pete. Well done. Dreamfinder and Figment are some of my happiest childhood memories.

Pete: "I'll take Vapid for $1000" ROTFL

I definitely learned from maelstrom. I took AP human geography freshman year of high school and the exam had a question about Norwegian industry that wasn't in my textbook but because of that ride, I knew they had an oil industry, so thanks maelstrom

Charles is a legend

Are we not going to acknowledge that the current Journey Into Imagination is at least better than the previous iteration from 1999? You know, the one that had zero Figment and the ride began with Eric Idle telling you that you suck at imagination?

Charles and your commentary on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, I am getting you more and more! I like your style Kid! Keep it up!

I agree with Steve. The best thing about Maelstrom was that it was low-key. There was hardly ever a wait, so I could ride it easily. It was like the People Mover, or the boat ride in Mexico. Yes, Frozen is "better", but I almost never ride it because I'm not waiting in line, and I can't get a FastPass.

Sean saying, “That was a wild ride!” After Charles explained why Mr Toads is THE BEST made me laugh for a good 5 mins 😂😂😂

I was so mad that Disney changed journey into imagination the original was so much better and memorable.

I would also make an argument for Horizons becoming Mission Space.

Why wouldn't they use the ruins of Cranium Command for Inside Out? It's still there rotting. Besides I can't be the only one who wants them to reopen the Wonders Of Life Pavilion.

I still miss Mr. Toad and like you said, so glad it’s still at Disneyland. I often skip Pooh when I’m down at the park unless there is no wait and I’m killing time. However, I love Pooh’s Hunny Hut in Tokyo. If we had that it would be great, though I’d still miss Mr. Toad.

OMG I'm dying.. 😂😂 Sean #idontcareaboutculture

I really like Winnie the Pooh, but I never got to experience Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. Sounds awesome, though.

Pooh may not be considered a better ride for you, but it creates more revenue than Mr. Toad would based on merchandise, movies, and Crystal Palace. Mr. Toad also is not a world wide known IP like the princesses, fab 5, Pooh, etc. I think most children/ families would prefer "heffalumps" over Hell as you said.

Figment and Bing Bong would be the best of friends

Fun Fact: It is shocking how popular Duffy the Bear is at Tokyo Disneyland. We’re talking 3 stores plus a Meet & Greet.

poor figment, never gets the respect he deserves ;-)

Sean Faulk...you're FIRED LOL! A purple dinosaur?!!!

1:07 good joke by Pete went unnoticed. "Thought youd be used to that by now"

😂😂 “collect your things and get out” 😂😂

I think people forget the second version of imagination. Almost the same ride as it is now but with no figment. There was such backlash against removing him they had to close the ride after being only open for a year or two and put that patched together version we have now. For those who don’t get figment, it’s because you never saw him in the attraction he was designed to be in.

Two comments: If a commentator has no idea who Figment is, why is this person giving his opinion of the attraction? Secondly, his comment about not being interested in the culture of Norway shows he also does not understand the idea behind The World Showcase.

I like Soarin’ Around the World better than CA ... but I’ve always requested the middle (or waited for it) 😉 Agree they should fix that. Sounds extremely disappointing.

I've been binge watching these Disney videos so much cause I'm going to Disney world in March! I'm so excited😁

Wow, Charles made some outstanding good points. Well said.

So glad that you guys are so open and honest without being afraid of the backlash. It’s refreshing

I love Charles' take on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride! What a great ride.

Love your show! You guys are so informative while also being so very entertaining!!! 😊

I loved Maelstrom. The majestic fjords-- even the movie at the end. I look forward to riding Frozen but definitely will miss the old.

Great episode!! Loved the different opinions and debate! :)

It is so cathartic to hear you all talking about Soarin'; it felt like I was the only person who thought this. I live in So Cal, so I would go to Soarin' in California Adventure - it made sense that it was about California. I really do miss it being about California, with actual film, no crappy CGI or curved mountains or towers, not having to ask to sit in Concourse B to get decent seats, and no overwhelming smells of dirt or cloying jasmine (where's the citrus, the pine?)... that's one ride I would change back in a heartbeat if I could.

OMG, I was there at Epcot Opening, I loved Figment and Dreamfinder Original! That ride inspired me to change careers when I retired and become a writer! It was that literature segment to got into my head, and now I AM A WRITER, all thanks to Figment and Dreamfinder, I agree "Institute of Imagination CRAP"! I was and have been made at Disney for that for DECADES!

Really enjoyed everybody's thoughts on these rides..great show!

Accurate list, I so badly wish we had Mr. Toad back.

Just rode Mr. Toad last week in DL, and it is better than Pooh. (The ride broke down and we had to walk through the attraction to get out!) Pooh is my least favorite dark ride in MK. The dark rides at DL are SO much better than WDW. Alice and Wonderland, Snow White, Pinocchio.

Love this show! Our first trip back to wdw was in March 2018 and I watched every show to get as much info as possible! Thank you guys for the content I miss seeing Steve in the show

One of the funniest videos you guys have ever uploaded! I laughed so hard!

I agree with Pete soaring over California is way better

omg this was hilarious xD really loved this video. Sean is really naive and I like it, he is kinda honest and I don't find anything wrong about that.

I'm with Kathy! Keep Figment around! I don't see why they can't turn it back into Figment and Dreamfinder; they didn't lose the rights to Dreamfinder or anything. Just knock down the stupid Disney/Pixar Film Festival (which I can watch at home, thank you very much) and expand the attraction back to its original glory. Same with ImageWorks!

Bravo Charles! Amazing job

The more I watch Charles the more I really like his style. :) Great work all :)

I actually enjoyed Journey into Imagination, but I think that was because I had heard such bad things and didn’t know what to expect. The surprises were cute, and the older gentleman who was loading the ride vehicles was an absolute gem. But going back to ride it again, I could see it wearing thin on me.

Gahhh!! I'm such a huge fan of Figment! I love the upside-down portion and the magic trick at the end!! I'd be sad to see it go, but then again I never experienced it with Dreamfinder so maybe I'd feel differently having that comparison 🙂

You guys are adorable. Love you all. New favorite channel

I LOVE WIND IN THE WILLOWS. I am that advocate

the day they bring back soarin over california will be a great day

I didn't even know Maelstrom was there when we visited before. You can't miss what you didn't know existed. :D I do agree about Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

I miss the original Journey Into Imagination. However, I do think the Imagination Institute is an interesting concept, and could have been successful if they had executed it in a different way. The Dreamfinder should have become the doctor, and they should have kept it closer to the original, but with a slightly more scientific approach.

Charles- your assessment of Mr. Toad's nearly brought me to tears. That is 100% why it blew my mind and rocked my world as a 5-year-old. Worth the flight out to California. Horizons was such a masterpiece, it's a shame it wasn't on the list- but being the total knock-down transformation that it was, I can understand why you left it off.

Great show guys! Figment is the embodiment of your imagination. He's not a dinosaur or a dragon. He is the example of the lack of limitations to a creative anything you want. More specifically what a child's mind can create. He's an imaginary friend a child may think up.

Seriously just realized why my family and I loved Mr Toad's Wild Ride! Now I'm pissed!

I'm 29 and I remember the Wind in the Willows just fine! I loved the book/movie as a kid. That being said, the WDW ride TERRIFIED me as a child so when it was turned into Pooh I wasn't pressed. We went to DL in 2015 though and were able to ride Mr. Toad and I found it much more fun and enjoyable than I did as a kid.

Charles just did the classic quiet cool guy mic drop.

100% agree on Soarin' Over the World, especially the heavy use of CGI. The entire Taj Mahal scene looked fake. Every single thing in that scene screamed render. I didn't mind the polar bears, and the elephants were ok I guess, but if you have to render the entire scene what's the point? With the original Soarin' I felt like I was there, but with the new one I feel like I'm watching a movie. And I don't need to go all the way to Disney to watch a movie.

Replacing the Wonders of Life pavilion attractions with a Seasonal event center for Food & Wine/Flower & Garden Festival. I wouldn't have minded if they had updated those attractions or replaced them with new attractions, but they were literally replaced with event space that is only used for half the year.

Duffy? GET OUT! 😂😂

Pooh is one of my favorite rides in the Magic Kingdom. Admittedly though I never experienced it as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Kathy is screaming right now. "two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow, horns of a steer, but a lovable fellow! From head to tail, he's royal purple pigment, and there, voilà! You've got a Figment!" .

I have a complaint about Space Mountain. I prefer the pre-renovation time before they put in that ceiling over the queue. You could see up into the ride and see the coaster cars zipping back and forth overhead and it was so cool! Also, they had to add that safety wall on the People Mover track that also blocks some of the view of the ride :(

Here we are in 2022, still waiting for a replacement for Stitches Great Escape. I love watching these old episodes to see what came true

Mr. Toad is in Disneyland because Wind in the Willows was Walt’s favorite book. It must remain forever because it has a great link to Walt. I think it was a mistake to replace it in Magic Kingdom.

Maelstrom was always my favorite in Epcot,Frozen belongs in fantasy land.Blasphemy.

Figment?? Who doesn't know Figment? He's a figment of your imagination! Oh well! -- But it's funny seeing 4 grown men arguing over Mr. Toad vs. Winnie the Pooh! TOO FUNNY!

This is some great subject matter. I agree with Charles. The reason Epcot is my wife's and my favorite park is its uniqueness. The concept for "Frozen" is fine, but not for Epcot. MK or HS. NOT EPCOT! I just fear that the warp speed that Disney is blindly throwing IP around the parks is that it might change Epcot to just "another" Disney park. The IP is fine, just make its placement and use make sense. And, as one poster said, I disagreed with everything Sawn said, lol. No big deal, just disagreed. Yes, "Frozen" brings people to the Norway pavilion. Yes it thins the crowds at other attractions. BUT, still, you can accomplish that by making the IP and non-IP attractions pertinent to the pavilion, Land, or section of whatever area/park it's being added to.........I totally agree that Sorin' Over CA is MUCH better than Sorin' Over the World. Not because it's CA, but because the video/3D in the World version is horrid. Cheap, crappy, and distorted. I would've loved to have seen Sorin' Over America. smh........I love the Winnie the Pooh ride, but Mr. Toad was better. I agree. I would like to see BOTH attractions at Fantacyland, not one there at the expense of the other. Charles' assessment was great and I wholeheartedly agree with him........GREAT show! I really loved this episode. I look forward to the attractions that were bad a made better.

Oh Alien Encounter was a GREAT attraction...

Nice work Charles.

I’m surprised you didn’t include the changes in Test Track to make it more interactive with guests.

Sean is such a blonde.

I like both Sean and Charles. That said, Charles is the guy who would want me to use analytics to make my little league baseball team better. Sean would just tell me to scream "hit the ball!" at the players.

We were there when the froZen meet and greet had a 6 hour wait. It was total madness

Mr Toad was far superior.

I loved maelstrom!! I agree with Charles!

Mr Toad's ride was gone well before my first visit to Disneyworld but Charles has just sold the ride to me!! Loved his passionate defence of the ride..wonder if there's footage of the ride anywhere. Go Charles

Sean is highly entertaining even though some of the stuff he says bring out the "what" factor in his cohosts. He's very childlike and it's quite endearing

Horizons to Mission: Space was, by far, the worst change for me and it's not even close

Has anyone here rode Fly Over America? Its a total soarin' knock off inside Mall Of America, but the funniest part is, its so much /better/ than soarin'. The smells are better, the shots are better, and they use water as well.

Mr toads wild ride and snow white were the most vivid memories of my first trip to disney world at 5 years old. These two rides are what made me a disney fanatic! Also Snow whites scary adventure > 7 dwarves mine train.

I wish new Test Track vs old Test Track would’ve made the list. They wrecked it with that “design your car” stuff. I like the old queue much better. With actual stuff used in vehicle testing.

No arguing with any of your choices. Great show today!!

If you like soarin’ (either version) you guys should check out Wings Over Washington. It’s like soarin but 1 it’s over Washington State, 2 it’s got way better technology that makes every single seat have a good view and is completely hidden, and 3 the indoor theming is WAY better in the starting area. It’s got a loop of a totem pole with a roaring fire in front of it inside of a room with wooded benches on an observation deck (that’s the actual ride part that moves) surrounded by UV paintings that create a night sky setting and to top it off, an animatronic owl and raccoon. You guys really should check it out if you are ever in Seattle for any reason

As a huge Winnie the Pooh fan, I'm glad it is there. It is so nostalgic for me. I went to Disney as a child but I don't remember the Toad ride to be fair.

Oh my gosh! Sean is getting so much hate in these comments! Be nice people! It’s ok not to agree with him and honestly he’s kind of the voice of the coming up generation who have no idea who mr toad is and don’t care about culture. They just want to be entertained Disney style. I don’t agree with him but I know almost everyone’s kids do and who are you going to Disney for? Your kids. If you want them to learn something, take them to a museum or actually go to a different country.

I'm shocked that Horizons replaced by Mission: Space or Barnstormer at Wiseacre Farm replaced by Barnstormer Great Goofini isn't in here

Charles’ defense of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride FTW!

MALstrom. Love Steve’s pronunciation here.

Ok, road Mr. TOAD's Wild Ride in Disneyland at age 8. Thought it was fantastic and thrilling. And those ride vehicles, bring it back to WDW.

That being said I miss the old Mexico pavilion ride "Rio Del Tiempo" which was really lovely and relaxing especially the ending. To me, it was way better than the one now, but if they put "Coco" there, that'll be awesome. Such a beautiful movie!

Entertaining video.

For those impatient people: Extra Terrestrial Alien Encounter to Stitches Great Escape Journey Into Imagination Maelstrom to Frozen Ever After Soarin’ Over California to Soarin’ Around the World Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

New drinking game! Do a shot whenever someone says “well-themed” or “intellectual property” lol!

I could talk about the Maelstrom for hours. I absolutely loved that ride and it made me incredibly sad when I learned they were replacing it with a movie that I felt was overrated.

I assumed Soarin' ' was filmed with an IMAX fisheye lens which caused the warping. The Pooh ride is awesome... but then again I never went onto the toad ride.

Test Track should definitely be on this list. They really messed up one of my favorite attractions to the point that I don’t even bother waiting in the long line to ride it. Now Soarin’ (which I personally still love regardless of the updates) and Spaceship Earth are my only must do’s in EPCOT.

See I love both versions of Soarin'. I miss the California one, but it was starting to look like old VHS tape when riding it.I'll always love it though, seeing my home state so beautifully captured always made me smile! I understand the criticism of World, but honestly it doesn't bother me as much. The shot of the Matterhorn took my breath away the first time I got to ride it. I never got to ride the WDW version of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, but I actually didn't care for the Winnie the Pooh ride. I actually really like Disneyland's version though, even though I miss the Country Bears :)

I hardly remember Alien Encounter, but i don't think i was ever on the Stitch version. I do prefer the original Soarin. I prefer Mr Toad over Winnie the Pooh. I like Frozen, but Maelstrom was classic and had a shorter wait time. I like Figment, but we need the original version back.

I think I disagreed with everything Sean said.

if only disney tried as hard on all their rides as they did on the frozen one then maybe they wouldn’t have to change things so often

Pete & Steve FTW with the best comments about Maelstom/Frozen
