Yes, and it’s dumb.

was it dumb before? i mean, its a kids ride right?

It had heart. This was a soulless merchandising tie-in.

Soulless merchandising tie-in at a Disney theme park? That seems new, right?

Nonetheless, they should leave well enough alone.

I am pretty sure you’ve always had to pay to enter the park.

I don’t like Johnny Depp. I just don’t. That ride is part of my childhood memories. I don’t it being changed in that way.

We might as well have a 1% Disney Tax taken out of paychecks that gives free admission for all Americans.

I hate modern Disney.

I think Disney knows. As a child I got excited by the castle opening of their movies. Classic Disney was great. If Disney was still held in such regard, it would have been proud to start TFA and TLJ with its Disney castle in lieu of the necessarily omitted Fox fanfare.

how about the child who grew up with Johnny Depp being part of the ride. If you get your way and have him removed, maybe you will be ruining their childhood memories!

Basically, asking for things to never change is a selfish worldview.

I was initially surprised by this but it makes sense as a branding decision. Marvel doesn’t have the Disney logo either, and I figure Pixar wouldn’t too if they didn’t already and if the Pixar/Disney Animation confusion wasn’t mutually beneficial.

You know they’ll raise ticket prices just in time for the Star Wars land to open. I miss the days of ticket books which allowed you to more or less spend money on the rides you actually wanted to go on.

I doubt I’ll have my have way and it will be removed. But I was more wishing they had never added Depp in the first place. I don’t see why asking for certain things to never change is a selfish worldview.

I need to make sure I get an annual ticket in time for that.
