I think if disney wants to put back a game show into hollywood studios they should do Family Feud. Two families who volunteer to play compete against each other and whoever wins wins like a free night or a fastpass for any ride for the rest of their trip.

The first time I saw Charles in a DIS video, I wasn't a fan, but the more I see of him, the more I like what he has to say. The single best opinion I've heard yet about IP in Epcot, and exactly what I think. If IP is used in a way that engages the kids, and gets them interested, then it is a winner!

My Dad won who wants to be a Millionaire Play It in 2001! One of my best Disney Memories and it created new ones when we were given the Disney Cruise as a prize!

Steve is my favorite I feel like every show he has a very positive attitude every show.

That meta-displacement commentary by Sean was absolutely hilarious, bahahahahahah

Get Will on the new T-shirt, "I enjoy it...but it's not fun!" I would wear that shirt. It should be tie-dye, just my opinion. Also, on my opinion, Charles, you have really brought an interesting view point to the group. Your passion about Disney proves you are so not dead inside. Your writing is great too.

That commentary on the young marine biologists being inspired is SPOT ON. I’m definitely one of those kids that saw finding Nemo, then grew up with this genuine fascination of marine animals 👍 it’s my college major now

I want to hear Sean sing

Another suggestion: changing Toontown to Dumbo's Circus. The new Dumbo ride with two ride vehicles and the interactive indoor queue is a MASSIVE upgrade over anything that was there before, and the Casey Jr. splash area is much better than Donald's boat. The downside at all was losing Mickey's house.

I feel like I’m the only person who can’t stand The Seas with Nemo and Friends! I feel like they could have done so much more with a Finding Nemo themed ride and this ride feel like a cheap “let’s slap some screen and an IP in front of an omnimover and call it a ride.” I know the space didn’t have enough room to do Little Mermaid-style ride but if feel they just took clips from finding Nemo and projected it inside of a fish tank. Like they took the Finding Nemo ride in Cali and took out the parts that make that ride cool.

RE: Original Living Seas. As a small child, I was totally fooled into thinking that when we were descending "down" into the sea base. You got on an "elevator" and went "down". I really REALLY thought that we really were really going below the water's surface and it left me DEATHLY afraid that something would go wrong and if a tank broke we would all be trapped and drown. It was not until years and years later as I walked OUT of the Nemo gift shop doors without having to "ride the elevators back to the surface" that I realized it was all on ground level. I felt SO dumb.

I totally agree with Charles about IPs. Nemo works because you get off the ride and are immediately encouraged to learn and explore with your favorite characters (unless you're Pete I guess). Frozen doesn't work because I'm pretty sure no one is inspired to learn about Norway when they come off this ride. The only section with information on the country is a small building that I'm sure most people don't even know is open to the public. I love the three caballeros and think it does inspire learning about Mexico...in the 1940s but after watching Coco, I was excited to learn about Mexico and think it'd be a great IP to add. At Epcot it should be about the follow up with inspiration and learning through fun

Yay! I've been waiting for this since last week's episode!

I think Who Wants to be A Millionaire and American Idol Experience contributed a lot to the “studio” feel of HS. They didn’t really fit in anymore with the direction HS is headed, in my opinion!

I'm a new subscriber and I love Dis Unplugged. Excellent information and very well presented material.

The Nemo omnimover is one of the worst rides in all of WDW!! It fails to be even a 'book report' in that Nemo is just hiding and giggling while his dad is frantically calling for him over and over again. Turtle Talk is fun.

My biggest problem with American Idol was that the grand prize was geared towards a Golden TIcket for someone to audition--which means it's only worth it if you're between 15-27 (or some variance close to that). If they bring it back the prize should be something that anyone can win and get use of--say free night's stay in a disney resort or something along those lines.

I would love to see a "Top 5 Former Attractions We Miss" episode. For me my number 1 attraction I miss is Food Rocks, I come from a very musical family so every time we went to Epcot when I was a kid, I knew all the songs and melody to the original version of the songs and I loved listening and watching the show. I know it probably isn't missed by many because of Soarin' replacing it, but I wish there was a way to have it back.

It's worth it to KZfaq the preshow from the Living Seas. That voice! ".....and rain, and rain, and rain. The deluge." Ah, memories!

Really want to know the "who wants to be a millionaire story"..

It should be noted that the Festival of Fantasy Parade isn't necessarily full of original floats. Two of the parade floats (the first one with the princesses and the last one with the pink Monstro) come from Tokyo Disneyland's Jubilation parade and were outfitted to fit the Festival of Fantasy Parade.

I feel like I'm the only one that likes the Nemo ride, it's not fantastic (and isn't supposed to be a recap, you're going through areas from the movie) but it's fun and charming, but I can't say Im bummed I couldn't experience the original, like actually going through those tanks sounds awesome and i wish they did more wiht tat and the hydrolators

The Who Wants to be a Millionaire game was my sister's favourite thing when we went to Disneyland in 2002. She was only 13 but was a huge trivia fan, and must have gone to it at least 5 times (while my dad would take me on the Superstar Limos... maybe we all just have bad taste, lol). She even managed to get on the fastest finger board once! So that's at least one person that wishes it was still there!

🤣 i love it! #Ienjoyitbutitsnotfun ... almost sounds like it could be a Craig Williams quote!!

Love this episode. I love the conversations between all of you but I have to say... Go Charles. I am really beginning to enjoy your prospective on things. Your personality and character are refreshing. Good job buddy. Keep it up.

I just want to take a moment to thank them for saying that avatar was just another version of Pocahontas because I've literally said for YEARS!!

Completely disagree about the Living Seas to Nemo...the original film was amazing (not the united technologiez preshow, that was before the movie)...and the whole experience was so futuristic and you felt like you were truly being transported. Now theres nemo and the post-show educational aspect is completely glossed over and lots of people dont even realize the world's largest (at the time) aquarium is right there. The living seas had a lot of interesting exhibits with more technology presented than now

Like a few others who have commented, I also miss The Living Seas. As a kid, I 100% believed that I was going deep under water on the hyrdolators, and I thought I was visiting a real lab. As for the pre-show film, friends and I still quote "and rained...and rained. The deluge." The ride part wasn't even the main attraction for me. It was getting to watch the fish and sharks and manatees and to see that scuba diver come out of the water tube and talk to us. But if Pete is looking at the ride aspect alone and disregarding the aquarium aspect, then I understand why he prefers The Seas.

Frozen sing a long is only good depending on whose playing the hosts for that performance. I’ve seen it with some pretty bad hosts where it made sitting in there unbearable cause I have nothing to make up from listening to songs from frozen the whole time. But whenever I’ve seen it with good hosts who are naturally funny and not forcing the jokes, it’s a lot more enjoyable. That’s a shame that they’re taking some of the commentary out.

Yes! I totally agree with Steve about Epcot and the IP overlay!

Pete, I loved the living seas and the Jules Verne submarine. Walking through the coral reef was wonderful. I feel the marine exhibits has been downgraded. On the other hand, I never did the ride because I thought it was for young children. We will return on March 11-16 and because of your comments, we will do the Nemo. Thanks.

My favorite thing about The Festival of Fantasy is how interactive it is, the characters always notice me and it makes the experience so much more fun!

Huge fan of the DIS especially the Best & Worst videos! I just had to say Charles was on point this episode. I didn’t care for him at first and now I’m loving him.. Another great show as always!

I've seen the frozen sing-a-long 3 times and it was different everytime! The hosts and the jokes are different, and they changed it for the holiday! They shouldn't get rid of the hosts/storytellers, they make the show great!

Are you kidding me? Pete never realized Avatar was just a rip-off of Pocahontas?

Rumour on the street is that the seas is changing to the marine life institute in the Epcot overhaul

For those impatient people: American Idol Experience to Frozen Sing-Along Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade to Festival of Fantasy Parade Living Seas to The Seas With Nemo & Friends Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Play It to Toy Story Mania Camp-Minnie Mickey to Pandora-The World of Avatar

I totally agree that the American Idol Experience takes up your entire day if you're performing. I really felt like I missed out on Hollywood Studios. My family LOVED it, because they offered to make dinner reservations for them and gave them fast passes to rides. And they got special seating. So they felt like VIP's, and wanted me to do it every time we went. I'm not an American Idol fan, so I gave my "golden tickets" to the runner ups. It was a nice experience, but I'm glad I get to experience the park again haha.

Pandora is visually the coolest thing at WDW, but that and Mt Everest were the only things I enjoyed at Animal Kingdom.

We really enjoy these best and worst!

I think American Idol was a great attraction. We saw some incredibly talented people there. I did not find it awkward at all, even with the judges input. Interesting that we saw the Cast Member who was playing Ryan one day, act in Hoop Dee Doo a few days later.

You missed a big one: Food Rocks becoming SOARIN'.

I like doing the character meet and greets, and Camp Minnie-Mickey was an awesome spot to see characters you don't get anywhere else. So I'm bummed it's gone. Filling that spot with rides, shops, and food ... yeah it's an upgrade... But I will ALWAYS be salty about Beastly Kingdom not being a thing but they added AvatarlandUSA...

I LOVED Who Wants to Be A Millionaire. It was probably in my top 3 WDW attractions. Those interactive experiences just tickle me. Though, I will say Toy Story Midway Mania is a good replacement and might also be in my top 3. I just wish they would have replaced something else with that.

The old Living Seas was a time vampire, and it was the fault of those stupid Hydrolators. Because I that’s what I want to do on my vacation: stand in line to get into a pavilion, and then stand in line again to get OUT of it.

Pete you are wrong! I know several people who miss the movie The Sea -which explained the creation of the seas/oceans on planet Earth. The Nemo ride is cute but the previous version set up the whole aquarium better and made that whole time is sea base that much more enjoyable. The ride itself went through and under the aquarium and displays with an accompanying voice ever explaining or educating the riders. Replacing it with Nemo weakened the experience at the Sea Base! (no set up). They took an exceptional unique experience and gave us a cookie cutter Disney dark ride.

Can you guys do a video of the top nighttime shows(fireworks, light shows) ranked in order and maybe favorite viewing spots? Thank for all you do and keep up the great work

If you haven't learned this already, you should probably know that two of the floats for the Festival of Fantasy Parade came from Tokyo Disneyland. The Princess Float at the beginning and the Monstro Float around the end were used for the Jubilation Parade Tokyo Disneyland had a few years back. If you want to see some other fantastic Disney Parades outside of the US, definitely take a look at the ones Tokyo Disneyland have done over the years and even take a look at Disneyland Paris for the past few parades.

A case of addition by subtraction: Stitch's Great Escape to nothing. That building could become the gift shop for the Tron light cycle coaster and it would be better than Stitch's Great Escape.

The Pocahontas comment was the best!😂😂😂

I can't believe no one's criticism of the American Idol Experience included how horrifically dated it was. This isn't the early 2000s, who the heck cares about American Idol anymore?! I can't think of anything I want to leave more in the 2000s than American Idol and velour tracksuits.

The seas with nemo is so ironic. Half of Finding nemo’s plot was about fishing trying to escape a tank, now the characters are decorating an aquarium? Made worse for me. The ride is a bit boring, but i like the queue theming.

Good show, guys.

if you enjoy it it's fun - definition: enjoyment, amusement, or lighthearted pleasure.

We think y'all crrrrrAzy with the Nemo/Living Seas thing, but love you anyway, and a like regardless! ;-)

Disagree with sea base alpha. Love the redo but can't beat the deluge

Ferngully is also the same movie as AVATAR.

Great intel Sean, about the Frozen historians taking a back seat. Personally I enjoy their banter but it probably goes over most kids’ heads...

Who else wants to hear Sean sing?! Let us hear those pipes!

FoF has some recycled floats from Tokyo Disneyland

Wishes to Happily Ever After

The current parade (Festival Of F...) features floats from Tokyo Disneyland, so it IS somewhat recycled .

Hands down their best video because Pete is virtually silent the first five and a half minutes.

I actually like the American Idol show. I'm glad that show is coming back!

Festival of Fantasy is probably one of my favorite parades, period. I'm fine with finding nemo but I look forward to that rumored upgrade to the marine institute instead. I do love the Seas. Sean you're terrible. You and Julie. -You and Julie, Sean-. Also oh my god Pete you actually agreed with that. I am Ashamed. I'm going to mail you Two cans of tomato sauce now.

The reason why I don't like Toy Story Mania is because it uses big screens (similar to Universal Studios, over actual set pieces and animatronics. Toy Story Mania is supposed to be the analogue for Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. Sort, Woody's version of the Buzz Lightyear ride. I love hot the Buzz Lightyear ride pretends like you're actually in out space, it's a great concept. I would have loved if Toy Story Mania would have been like stepping into a cowboy world, with small setpieces and with thingss off in the distance (similar to buzz lightyear) or perhaps similar to the Frontierland Shooting Arcade. Actual animatronics and actual set pieces. That's what I would prefer. Not those big screens.

I will never understand the obsession with Flight of Passage. It's just not that fun.

American Idol & Who Wants to Be a Millionaire were really cool experiences I feel you only had to experience once especially if you were just in the audience (plus the timing of these were BAD) Nemo and Seas is cool, Living Seas was pretty cool, just dumb story line.

There was a united technology pre film, but the main film was about the how the oceans formed and some of the wonders of that exist beneath the seas, and how much we haven’t discovered yet. It wasn’t an awful film at all. The hydrolaters (which went down all of about 2 inches) were a bit of a time waste, but like the rooms at the haunted mansion it’s all about crowd control. Don’t get me wrong I think Nemo is a better update but the original living seas wasn’t bad. Except the big blue world song is the worst thing ever composed!

I think they put "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" in because when HS was still a working studio they had "Let's Make a Deal". Not only could you be there during an actual taping, when they weren't doing an actual taping they had fake taping where you could win small prizes. I was there for one of the real tapings. People seemed to like the fact they could be there for the real taping and even seemed to like the fake ones on the real set.

I miss the United Technologies movie

I agree Pete, that was the problem with both WWTBAM and AI. Disney drug their feet in adding these attractions, and when they opened both shows were on the decline.

I agree with this list for the most part. Share A Dream Come True Parade was amazing, but when they updated it to Celebrate..., it became a forgettable waste of recycled floats and time. Festival of Fantasy brings back the spirit of Share... with new and amazing floats. The one thing I can't agree on in this list is The Living Seas. The Nemo update is a great face-lift for the pavilion. However, Sea Base Alpha was not a bad attraction, and based on the title of the video, I don't think it fits the criteria of "bad attractions made better" because it was not bad to begin with.

Lol my boyfriend misses the United technologies movie

I bet they would now add Toy Story Land replacing Lights Motors Action

Avatar is Fern Gully

Did anyone else forget that Camp Minnie and Mickey ever existed..?

I liked the living seas

The changes you reference in this show to the Frozen Sing-Along is disappointing! I try to see obtain a fast pass each time I visit this park and thoroughly enjoy the 'banter' between the 'historians'., and adds a fun feel - that pulls the adult audience and younger set together. This creates a portal of where and why the 'songs' have the significance to the story line. I feel this is germane to the overall presentation. The anticipated changes will create a over simplification and since their contribution is limited but well placed to keep the pace moving - I feel is a poor choice on behalf of Disney!

I'm sorry but why isn't Space Ranger Spin on here? It is a vast improvement over If You Had Wings..

I disagree with Toy Story Mania. It really shouldn't exist as a ride concept. It came out during the recession when they were trying to make cheap rides and during a time when "touchscreen" devices (like the iPad) were popular and exciting. Most people are already very well familiar with touchscreen technology and we can do that at home so doing it in Disney to me seems redundant and not as interesting. I'd rather have a dark ride or some other type of attraction. Perhaps include some augmented reality or more sensory (air-blowing) and sound effects and light effects. I understand they're wanting to build an attraction in a constrained place and the theming is great, but to me the ride is a boring concept and is mindless and is just to get kids distracted with playing.

I didn’t really like the nemo ride tbh, definitely not worth the wait. Most of the voice actors didn’t even return for it. You could tell when a voice actor did reprise their role, but if they didn’t it was really noticeable. The theming is really good, but the ride itself is pretty meh.

I would like to add the honey I shrunk the audience/captain ewo turning into the Disney/Pixar film festival is one of the best ideas. If they update the line up of shorts every few months, it is a winner of an attraction

The joke portion is what makes the Frozen sing-along good. Without the jokes it will not be fun for folks that don;t love the music.

Nemo rides blows. Agree with everything else though

Why is the guy complaining about American Idol experience? He knew what he was getting into when he tried about. Such a dumb take. This show was different every time. Different judges, contestants, host. It was funny and fun.

I liked who wants to be a millionaire. It was different haha. I enjoyed it but it wasn't fun.

The jokes are the best part of the frozen show!!

I never experienced the original Living Seas, but I really didn't like the Finding Nemo ride. Nemo is a not very nice son (substituting a word here) after the events of the movie. Why have him laughing at his dad's distress?

Nothing is as rough to watch as Mickey Mania...talk about repetition

I have a few suggestions: Food Rocks to Soarin’ Lion King to Philharmagic El Rio Di Tiempo to Grand Fiesta Tour UOE to Ellen’s Energy Adventure Maelstrom to Frozen Ever After Pooh’s Play Spot to New Fantasyland Under New Management to Tiki Room

#Ienjoyitbutitsnotfun

Boda is a debbie downer

I personally liked American Idol the Experience for the guests sake. The singers got a real chance to be on American Idol if they won.

I actually liked the American Idol show.

UGH I HATE FROZEN SO MUCH!!!!

Root Canal: #IEnjoyItButItsNotFun

It would be nice to get a bit more diversity on this channel, I can’t help but feel that the majority of the content is from the middle aged gay man perspective. Don’t get me wrong I have enjoyed the channel and found much of the information helpful when planning trips, but it’s starting to seem very one note. I think it would be beneficial to include more perspectives from women and people with young children especially considering its Disney World.

I actually preferred Celebrate a Dream Come True. I think that Festival of Fantasy is kind of gimmicky.

Red Pill Sean. Avatar is just Pocahontas. It's a good thing I never bothered to see Avatar then.
