So, I thought I’d share the Facebook live that Deni and I recorded after our first ride on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway – nothing fake about that smile!! While most people who know me realize that I always try my hardest to pick out the positive in every situation, folks who don’t know me very well might scratch their heads and wonder if I’m really being honest about how I feel. Now, here’s the thing that gets hard, in my case, anyway. While there was a slight bit of disappointment at the iconic attraction’s departure, I was genuinely excited about what was to come. I was sitting here – just watching and reminiscing about the handful of times I’d ridden that attraction and enjoyed it so much.

I remember when Disney announced that the Great Movie Ride was being replaced with what is now Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway and the people of the internet lost their collective minds. Some folks were glad to see them go in favor of something new and I’m okay with their opinions. I like Storybook Circus and I think it’s pretty cute, but it’s definitely not the same for me as being able to walk through those adorable houses. For example, I was pretty bummed out when Mickey and Minnie’s houses were removed from Magic Kingdom years ago. While I feel that differences in opinion about things we’re passionate about make for great conversation, not everyone feels that way and I don’t get it. And that discussion continues on throughout the opening of the said attraction, show, parade, a new form of transportation, or whatever the case may be and it seems to me that Disney fans are some of the most critical people I’ve ever come across. The one thing that always remains true is that there is a lot of discussion surrounding whatever the new project is. Behind every project, there is a team of passionate people making things happen and whether or not we think the initial idea is amazing, the work presses on behind the scenes. As we become adults who have jobs, I feel like our appreciation for the theme parks changes a bit as we start to realize how much work goes into what I like to refer to as making/building the magic.
