I've been walked off of lots of different rides, but this New Year's Day, while on our annual hunt for beer cans, I threw up in the water of Small World Holiday.

Well, you have just beat zapppop's puking in Dancing Waters ... but he still holds the record for throwing up in the middle of Main Street during fireworks ... and then having thousands of people walk right through it during the ensuing mass Park exodus.

It's all a matter of taste, of course ... but I don't get people who think that it's a small world after all is the same song for 17 minutes. It WAS the same song during the decade after Disneyland Paris opened, but years ago was blessedly restored to the incredibly variated, musically brilliant, world culture tour of globetrotting sound styles featuring the same melody that was famously created at the height of Disney orchestration greatness in the early 60's.


Sheesh.

My fave walk-off: The Matterhorn. Running out to the promontory point high above Small World Mall against CMs' direct orders, seeing the tiny basketball courtlette at last, and walking down the dingy starcases through a scaffolded labyrinth were fantastic.

Least fave walk-off: The Peoplemover - which stopped about 30 yards from the station on the approach down the main Tomorrowland entryway. We had to WAIT more than half an hour for all the other guests to make their dramatic and thrilling track walk until they got all the way to us ... whereupon we walked the final 30 yards on the widest portion of the trackway. It was neat ... but also frustratingly close to the ULTIMATE Walk-Off Experience that we missed by riding 3 minutes early! Bah.

Hoorah !! Love the pic of the Blue Fairy (at last I know what she really looks like)

Wolfy with Gepetto is my hands-down favorite!

Blue Fairy looks like a man...

Blue fairy looks interesting... then again in the right light and speed it looks perfect.... normal light and stagnant, well... interesting.

great photos!

This was my first walk off as well Wolffy. The other was Space (not a walk off)and POTC. :cool:
I found out they were actually training new Castmembers that day for most of Fantasyland.
