Ugh, it just points out a bigger problem. That the cretins in charge don't realize how much Disneyland says Disney.
You do not need to put Goofy in the Haunted Mansion. The Haunted Mansion says Disney. Johnny Depp was not necessary. Pirates of the Caribbean says Disney. And yes, I know that's not the reason he's there ... I'm just sayin'.
it's a small world is about as Disney as it gets. It's also about as kid-appealling an attraction as Walt Disney ever created, even without Mickey Mouse and Simba. That's why I think it's exempt from any ill-conceived Alex Rule of 20-Years. There's always a new batch of 6 year olds. No need to reinvent this ride. The tike audience is always new. And the adult audience has the sophistication to appreciate it without a flaming loop being installed along the deeper flume.
