The Woody and Jesse figures looked bizarre and the America scene is going to take a while to get used to.

Well, apparently, no one likes to wait this long anymore...

And, oh, yeah, I don't find what they've done to be all that bad.

I read this a few days ago but didn't post it here for some reason.

Why is Cinderella wearing her servant dress in the ride?

I recommend you stay away from It's a Small World at any park. I rode the one at WDW and that song is infectious I still can't get it out of my head!!

I really think Hong Kong got the better version because they seemed to have more characters and Cinderella and Ariel look better in Hong Kong.

I don't mind the changes, I like them.

Actually, I think Disneyland's is better in terms of the characters because they put in less. This is the original, there needs to be a balance.

I just watched the Hong Kong version youtube. That's way they should have done Cinderella in the Disneyland version. They need to lose that annoying song it gets in your head and drives you crazy.

I like the way they did Cinderella at Disneyland. Blends in better.

The ride is not ruined. It was plussed significantly. And the Disney character additions were indeed done very tastefully.

The Kim Irvine-bashing that has gone on since these changes happened really needs to stop.

Things can't stay exactly the same forever all the time. That's the way it is.

Change is a natural part of life.
