Hey fellow movie lovers-it's Emily 🙂 I am profoundly humbled and flattered by all the likes, comments, and support. I worked for the company as a CP in 2010 at the Magic of Disney Animation (I'm two for two on closures), and while I adored it, I was crushed not to be assigned to GMR. When I came back as seasonal in 2015, I didn't hesitate when my interviewer asked me where I wanted to go. I was one of the first new CMs trained on the TCM script. I am still in awe of the fact that I got to work at this magical attraction for over 2 years. My heart aches for those who, like me, dreamed of welcoming extras aboard their vehicle and will now never get the chance. I am so thankful to have taken thousands of guests on magical journeys through the movies over the years, and I will be eternally grateful to all of you for joining me for one last ride. I'll always be ready when you are, CB.

_If_ _anyone_ _flashes_ _during_ _my_ _last_ _ride_ _I_ _will_ *PUMMEL* *YOU* . Words to live by.

This is like tearing down Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom, or Spaceship Earth at Epcot. Iconic rides should be immune.

6:17 When the cast member breaks script.

All of a sudden, Disney classics start disappearing, along with the magic of nostalgia.

"I'm going to jump out of the car and join them" "If anyone flashes during my last ride I'll fuckin pummel you" "Shut up Bob Oswald" "Yes queen" "Why does it feel like I'm leaving friends?" "EMILY THANK YOU" Best quote from the video, I'm going to miss this ride so much

Im crying, not only because of how emotional it was but the fact that i will never ever get to experience this ride myself ;^;

I usually complain about most of the older rides but I have NEVER complained about this one. This one was timeless and special and I'm so glad I got to ride it and it pains me to say my first time was my last time I'm very upset. I think we've lost a gem.

Bless this beautiful woman Emily. May great things happen to her in the future. :')

This ride inspired me to become a filmmaker, I'm heartbroken to see it go

I can't believe I teared up just watching this. This ride had a tremendous impact on me as a child, all the way to now/adulthood. It helped foster my love of the classics, as well as was a ride my entire family always loved riding together. Thankful I got to ride it one last time with the family this past November. Thanks for posting, Panda.

Every time I go to Disney I go on this ride. I even remember being too short to go on TOT and going on this with my dad, and he'd cover my eyes during the alien scene whether I liked it or not. I remember finally sneaking a glimpse of it once and then realizing it wasn't so bad. Then I remember just last year running with my friends to go on this ride since we went to Disney for our high school band trip. We had a great tour guide and laughed whenever the gangster cracked a joke at Jersey, our home state. I always get emotional during the reel of movie clips at the end. My friends laughed when I teared up and I laughed along with them. If I had known it was going to be my last time ever going on that ride, I'd definitely justify those tears lol. I'm heartbroken at the closing of this ride, and I wish the rest of my family could have gone on it one last time. But I totally grew up with this attraction. And for that I thank WDW for those memories. That Mickey ride has some pretty big shoes to fill...

This was a favorite ride for sure. Most of the classics were represented and I can't even imagine how they would "update" this ride if they even wanted to.

Man, the closure of this ride really depresses me... It was one of my favorite rides in Hollywood Studios. But alas, I haven't been able to get back there since it was still known as MGM. This ride will truly be missed.

Wow incredible ending to an extraordinary ride. Emily, your speech was so touching, I'm in tears at home in NJ. Wishing you the best on your next adventure! And how about that Mugsy! She was great! Bravo to all CMs past & present of the GMR. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Awww...Emily was great. You can tell how much this ride means to her and also so much for you. I saw your FB post about it. I'm glad you got to ride it one last time.

Great Movie Ride, thank you for the best times! I grew up with you, and I will miss you. When Emily broke character and gave that speech, I LOST IT!! ;~;

In tears watching this from NYC.....RIP Great Movie Ride....

My family and I have only been to Disney World once, we visited in December 2001 to celebrate Walt's 100th birthday. I was pretty young at the time so I only have a few memories of that trip, but one of them was how much I loved the Great Movie Ride. I remember passing through Mary Poppins, Indiana Jones and the Wizard of Oz and thinking it was one of the coolest rides ever. I'm sad I won't get to ride it again, but I'm glad for all the videos of its final days on KZfaq. Thanks so much for posting this! Emily thanking the riders was especially sweet :)

Maybe there is a chance to get it re-built someday. They brought back Figment and the Main Street Electrical Parade due to popular demand

I sure wish Disney would reconsider closing this ride :(

I grew up as well with this ride, it is sad to see this ride end. So many memories..

A beautiful tribute to a wonderful ride! Thank you for sharing

this made me cry too, I loved this ride and hate that it is gone. Emily did an AMAZING job!!!

This ride was truly iconic and memorable but, as with all great things they eventually end.

Farewell to the most awesome ride ever!

I completely understand those tears!!! I have been super sad since I heard. Ii have ridden this with my Mom, Step-Dad and Brother who have all passed on, sharing wonderful memories with each of them. I also rode this with my Son who is now grown, and will never be that 4 year old little boy who was enthralled with it, again. Just breaks my heart. I hadn't cried until I watched this video, and now... the flood gates are open. Thank you so much for this video!!!

When I was a kid this was the only ride I wanted to ride nonstop. My mom and I when i did not want to ride the tower of terror went on this. I was on my senior trip and for my history of film class we got to on this ride for extra credit while on my senior trip. I have such good memories on this. Like singing along with your off to see the wizard with my mom,jumping during the aliens scene. But most important going on it with my grandpa.

Thanks for making me cry!! I rode it for the last time on Friday and that was hard enough!

I am so sad!!! This video just reminded me that the Great Movie Ride just closed on Sunday!!!!😭 They just had to close it to create a Mickey mouse ride!?? Before I even got to ride it!!!!?

R.I.P The Great Movie Ride

I got the honor to ride in the front row with my brother yesterday! I was so sad to see it go but I actually saw you guys so that's cool!! Love the video!

I still find it so sad that this ride is being closed. I remember during my second trip to Disney when I first rode this, and being so excited when seeing there was a Wizard of Oz segment. Watching this now, despite it being a decade since I've been there, I remember the majority of this ride. Especially The Wizard of Oz. The ride may not have as much personal value to me, but it's still upsetting to see so many people, even those working on the ride, be so emotional about it closing. I just hope this new Mickey ride will be good.

This made me start tearing up, especially when I saw that Wizard of Oz Emerald City scene! I miss this ride already

I have never been on this ride, nor have I ever been to any part of WDW, but I was on the verge of tears just watching you guys on this. ;-;

I went to Disney in April of 2017, and I'm heartbroken because I didn't get to ride multiple of the rides (Ellen's Energy Adventure, this, and Stitch's Great Escape. It was closed when I went.) that weren't closed when I went. I'm so sad :CCC they all looked like fantastic rides. Edit: I forgot something, but then forgot it. Oops!

So many great childhood and adult memories with this attraction. A big part of my love for movies. Thanks for the great video.

We go to Disney pretty much every summer and we're actually here as I'm typing this comment on my phone. We got here the Wednesday after the ride closed and it's so sad that they're closing it. I will definitely miss the ride and it honestly makes me a little emotional to

Omg this ride was my favorite and I’m going next week for the first time since it’s been closed and it’s not going to be the same. I’m crying watching this. Thank you for the video

Well these tears streaming down my face were unexpected! Thanks for the memories X

Emily was awesome!!!! This did me, I cried a lot! So sad it's gone, I'm back at Disney in Oct, so sad I didn't get to ride it one last time. Thanx Panda :) xx

While I've ridden the Great Movie Ride before, none compare to this emotional last ride with Panda and company. A heartfelt "thank you".

I wish I had known it was closing. Thanks for sharing this. Some good memories of a cool ride that should have stayed open.

Let this ride rest in peace and let us remember all the movie magic and"this is a ride through the moves

I know exactly how you feel panda. This was my dad's favorite ride. He past away in Feb. and saying goodbye to this ride is like saying goodbye to him again. He is the one who past on his love for Disney to us and I will always think of him when I think of Disney.

I am not a former cast member but I fell in love with disney the first time I was old enough to realize what was going on there. 42 years later my love for disney has only grown. We went on the ride on Friday before its last day. The gentleman that said it was very sad caught my sentiments exactly, like him I didn't cry but other than that I will remember this ride like I still remember the sky ride, if you had wings, horizons another word it was definitely classic disney. Thank you so much for sharing this with me.

I totally cried at Emily. Thanks Panda for filming & sharing this xx

I’m so happy I got to ride this once

I'm thankful I was able to experience this ride

Yes, this ride a profound and positive impact on me as a child and will be dearly missed! As an adult I was able to locate source audio. So I'll always have those small parts of the ride to revisit.

#EMILYROCKS!!! Someone interview that cast member!!!

This ride is such a big part of my childhood. I attended every year from the ages of 3 to 13 and my childhood dream was to be a great movie ride cast member to work my way through college. I now have family members that have passed away who shared their love of this ride and disney parks with myself and cousins who now in turn get to share it with our children. Im so happy my son was able to experience this classic even just the one time. You'll never be forgotten great movie ride!!!

Since I'm at the young age of 12 my family never got to ride thrill rides. But, this was my first and favorite ride and I cried multiple times on my last ride last month. Goodbye, great movie ride, you will be missed!!!

I love how this ride was remembering iconic movies from the past so I don’t see the need to update it with a Mickey Mouse ride. :(

I've never even been on The Great Movie Ride and this made me cry too!!

Thanks for all of your videos and never being afraid to be yourself :)

I cried. We'll forever love and miss this ride.

Love the emotion! Will miss the ride,great memories!

lol why am i crying watching this

GMR was my favourite ride in the studios, I can't believe they have closed it.

BFP, having taken several trips on the Great Movie Ride, thank you for sharing this moment for those like me who couldn't take that last trip. Thank you to Emily for exemplifying what a great CM is and all the great CMs that I have encountered in my nine trips to WDW. I'm looking forward to my tenth.

What a great representation of this emotional roller coaster of a night. Great video.

This made me cry. My childhood, my sons childhood were both touched by this experience and so many great memories of visiting this with my family and my son. It’s gone and cannot be relived. But - I’m glad it’s captured on video. At least we have that. I don’t think that the greed of more revenue should have caused this to be closed and replaced. The next time I visit Disney, this will be gone. I can’t imagine what it will be like to walk into Hollywood Studios and not see this greeting me and welcoming me into the park like an old friend.

I so want to hug both guys... especially the one with the goatee!

Our last Disneyworld trip was in March 2016 and two months after that we had to put down our dog, Ginger. She was a Carin terrier, which is the same dog as Todo from the wizard of oz. it makes me very sad knowing that I won't be able to see that scene in the great movie ride anymore. 😢😢😢I know it's kind of a strange connection to have to the ride, but it would have made me smile to see that scene again and seen that happy little animatronic terrier wag its tail.

Thanks to all the CMs who made this ride a true one of a kind experience. Bravo!

This made me cry. I loved this ride so much

Thanks for posting this Panda! :)

I got to ride it for the last time in November of 2017 and I'm so glad I did!

I just heard about this ride closing. So sad and sweet video.

This is one of my favorites. I can’t believe they’re getting rid of it. They won’t make anything as good as this in its place

I'm sad to see it go and I've never been to Disney! Emily did such a great job on the last ride!

Idk how I got to this video but wow. I can't believe they closed down the ride! A part of my childhood is taken away now. ):

I actually cried watching this. This ride is a pivotal example of Disney magic to me

Great video Panda. I know your Mom was with you the whole ride smiling down on you. God Bless!

I balled like a baby omg I wish I could of been there this ride has been amazing and the memories I have with this ride will never be forgotten.

I am older and hold tradition and precious memories near to my heart. Disneyland IS the most Magical place on earth. When we go there, the park and rides become part of our heart. When one closes , a little part of our heart and memories leave with it. It almost like losing a family member. I grew up at Disneyland. Rode (and kicked out of ) sky buckets and spitted down on unsuspectiong people as a kid. Marched in parades with my high school - EDISON. Went there to have fun and date my husband of 44 years. Memories of Carosell of progress, Country Bear Jambore, Rocket to Mars, Original Haunted Mantian, tree house , Tom Sawyers Island. I never got to see this ride, but I empathize with all of you. Certain rides should not change...it has become part of us. It is still the Magic Kingdom for us all. R.I.P. lost rides, I will see you all at the movies

I'm going to miss it. Thanks Big Fat Panda. And for Emily, GMR is one of those attractions where the right host really made it special.

Thanks to this ride, it helped to introduce me (as a kid) to what would eventually become one of my favorite movies of all time (Alien ). Gonna miss this ride but it's had a great run and I can't wait to see what's new. :)

Brings back such good memories. I rode this as a teen maybe about 8 years ago, and it was the highlight of my trip to Hollywood Studios. Back then, I think there was pretty much only this and 3 other rides, Toy Story Land and Galaxy's Edge weren't built yet. My host was absolutely hilarious and since I was in the front row, he poked fun at me quite often. This ride gave me a huge appreciation for classic movies. In a way, it kind of reminds me of the Studio Tour at USH, except a little more immersive. It's sad that I'll never be able to ride this again, but I am glad that I got the opportunity to ride it while I still could.

You are so lucky. On my last time riding it, I didn’t even know that it was my last ride, it was before they even announced they were destroying it... I’m so sad 😭😭 this was my FAVORITE ride at Hollywood studios

I was one of a team who worked on this ride for a year before it opened, and I was there on opening day, May 1989. This brought back a lot of memories. Thank you for sharing!

Awww great moments

❤️this and hugs to you Big P

R.I.P The Great Movie ride , 1989 - 2017

I was looking for just the ride! I will always miss this ride, even I I don’t remember it!

This is not a first world problem. This is emotion. Emotion to a ride that on its own is art. It depicts the art form of film. The guest in turn feel those films and the cast members add their own art flare. So it culminates to this beautiful moment that I also get from rides, shows, or even moments of memories in the park.

Bring it over here to California

I was lucky enough to be there for the last day of the ride. I wasn't able to be on the very last ride but it was one of the last ones. I can remember everyone singing as we waited for the cue and watched Bob Osborne talk about movie history. This ride will always have a special place in my heart. I miss this ride so much.

I went on this ride when I visited with my family in 2004 and low key had no clue on some of the movies were because i was 8 at the time lol. I have very clear memories of this ride to this say, memories i will never forget all the way from the UK.

I have been on this ride and it looks rlly cool and it was also rlly fun

Why did they close this ride for instead of just updating it with Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Titanic, Avatar and other newer films? There is no need for another Mickey Mouse ride.

NOT THE GREAT MOVIE RIDE THAT WAS THE BEST DISNEY RIDE EVER WALT WOULDN'T WANT THIS TRIGGERED

Awwww I love this ride. I would have loved to ride it once again knowing it Out would be the last. One of the best rides ever.

Emily was awesome I wish I could have been there for the last ride

Literally crying...ill always remember you TGMR😭

Im really mad they closed this ride my favorite ride at Hollywood studios

I had Emily too when I went and she was awesome

I am so sad that it is leaving and I will never have the pleasure of riding it but only virtually on KZfaq. I really wanted to ride this. :(

Okay so I have been crying most of the video, especially when Emily got emotional towards the end. I grew up with this ride and love it so much. It killed me that it was closing a week before I returned to WDW and would never get the chance to ride this classic again. BUT on a happier note, when he said "Shut Up Bob Osborne" I died and laughed for wayyyy to long :)
