Last night was the most clear cut example of my brain spitting up everything from the day into my dreams. It started out with running around a convention with my sister dressed as Sailor Senshi. Somewhere along the line ti changed, and I was in a pirate cave. But it was an evil pirate cave and there was a curse on the treasure. I was stuck on a ledge, and there was this... round thing in the middle. Like a pile of thick stone discs. It had a stone face and it talked and it had rotating knives that stuck out of it. It moved through the caves. Spike, from Cowboy Bebop, showed up. He was trying to outrun the thing with knives, and he was doing pretty good. But then some kind of monster thing showed up, and the floor opened up and they fell. I think I screamed. The disc thing ws coming back, and it turned out Spike hadn't fallen, he'd grabbed my ledge. I hauled him up and he thanked me and we hung out there and had a cigarette together. Then these two adventurer people showed up. Now we notice that in the confusion of the floor falling, there's a round cage full of jewels in the middle of the room.

The two newcomers approach it, and then have to run from the disc thing, and then they see us. I ask Spike quietly if he thinks he can shoot them, and he lets me know that he can. But one of them points a gun at me and tells him if he shoots, I'm dead. Apparently he's grown fond of me, because he drops his gun. The two guys head over to the treasure cage, and manage to crawl through the bars. We think this is a Bad Idea. We don't say anything, and some stuff happens that culminates in a car driving through the side of the cave.

Spike picks me up and carries me down, and somewhere along the line he changes into Jonny Depp and we come out in Disney World. We walk around a bit, and he asks me if I need a wheelchair. I tell him yes, and he goes off to get it. I duck into a salon for a skin treatment because my skin is so dry, and the woman's all 'you're getting a skin treatment in Disney World?!?' and I said 'I'm here with Jonny Depp, you'd be getting a skin treatment too!'. And then I ended up with purple and white wings, and Jonny Depp had turned back into Spike and we went on some rides and then I woke up.

Clearly, all that talk about the Pirate Movie and the bullshit about them changing the original pirates ride at Disney is getting to me. I still can't get over that. They based the fucking movie on the most well loved attraction in the park... and then change the fucking ride to match the movie! WTF? I loved that ride. It was my favorite ride. And now they pull this shit! That's the one of, if not the, oldest damn Disney rides there is. It was Walt Disney's favorite! Why are they changing Walt Disney's favorite ride?!? Walt Disney! Thank god the one in Disneyland is staying the same, else I'd be pitching a much bigger fit.

I'm telling you, these pirate movies are doing nothing to endear themselves to me.

They're changing the RIDE?

My childhood has just been rapped and tossed into the garbage!

*SOBS*

I LOVED THAT RIDE!

HUGGLES Fey and sobs on her shoulder.

How could they do this to me? I wanted to take my kids on it! It was the ride my sisters and I LOVED the most for it's nostaliga factor....

I KNOW! I heard about it and I refused to believe it until I read a thing on it myself. And I still don't want to believe it!

Yours and mine both! *clings to you*

At least the one in Disneyland is safe. That's the original. They can't change that. It would be like slapping Walt in the face.

That's good.

Ryk and I wanted to take the kids to disney world in flordia, the one I grew up going to. We went so often, I memorized the park as a kid. One of the things I really wanted to show off was the old Pirates Ride. The thing I liked about the first film was recognizing the tidbits from the ride. I could say, "oh I remember that". By changing the ride the very traits that endured me are GONE.
It's sort of like changing the Small world ride and replacing it's mind worm song with something... Hiphop...

*cringes*

Yeah, I cling to that. And I go to Disneyland more than World, since it's closer. But still!

Yes! You could watch the movie and go 'hey, that's from the ride!'. Now... not so much. :/ I can't believe they're doing this. Gah! Don't even joke! Don't even joke!

The corporate world pisses me off. They do anything for money, sigh, it really sucks.

Yeah, pretty much. And it really goes against the original ideal of Disney, in my opinion. :/

Most definatly. Well we will all mourn together.

Oh god! Where did you hear this? I will be very sad. That ride! :( It was one of Mr. A's rides in his "must-do-at-disneyworld" song, which I still remember! *cries*

However, the new movie is very very very good. But the ride!

*cries*

I always have, and always will love your dreams. You're awesome!

Heee, thank you!

I guess the Pirates movies aren't everyone's cup of tea. ^^;

Um, wait, there's a POTC ride that will remain unchanged in Disneyland? California's Disneyland? Does that mean it's, like, Disneyworl'd changing? Really would like some clarification. ;_;

But...I did hear that any changes were very minor, just adding in Jack and Barbossa models, adding a fresh coat of paint....

I know I'm an anomoly in that I don't like the pirate movies. And I don't talk about it much, because I've been bitched out over it in the past, but there are times I cannot keep my shut.

The original, original Pirates ride in Disneyland is remaining unchanged. The one in Florida is being redone to incorperate things from the movies. Which I don't agree with. It's one thing to make new rides, but to go back and change one of the originals - one that was extremely special to Walt Disney's heart - doesn't sit well with me.

Well, guess I'm a bit relieved by that, Disneyland's unchanged--I mean, I suppose if I had to choose, I'd pick "unchanged" over "changed."

Yeah, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they don't dare touch the one in Disneyland. I'm probably being a crotchety old codger, but these are my childhood memories, damnit!

I love the Pirates movies and I still think changing the rides is a terrible sin. >/ It's my favorite Disney ride too! Like you said, at least the one at Disneyland is safe, which is the true original, but if they ever changed that one? I would be pissed the fuck off.

...Anyway, our pirates are cooler. :D

(And Spike fighting pirates. ROFL. <3)

Awww, don't worry, Fey! I don't think they're changing it very much! ^^ At most they'll add a robotic Jack Sparrow at the end of the ride...it is a classic, and I love it! ^^ Most people do! I really doubt they'll change it too much...there are way too many hardcore Disney buffs who would go on a rampage if they did.

we hung out there and had a cigarette together.

I like that part. It just sounds cool. :D

Also, wtf? I've never been to Disney-anything, but changing a ride to match a movie is so dumb that there are no words. o_O I like the pirate movies, but not enough to change a freaking ride... people don't make sense.
