hunchback question

given the rise os “stripper culture” in these here united states, would disney still put in a brief, yet seemingly purposeful, reference to pole dancing in this scene were it being made today? they could have miley could do the voice, right? or is that too obvious?

food for thought

the wedding planning process rolls along and includes much googling. came across this posting of the show “unwrapped” on the disney wedding blogs archives… yum!

my work here is done

yes, i finally have uploaded my oh-so-professional video-ing of the WDW Resort TV playing the most recent “Disney Must Dos” – otherwise known as “The Travesty That Hath Been Wrought on the Fabulous Stacy”. This one was recorded before Christmas, so the resort TV must surely have been changed already. Hopefully they will re-edit the previous incarnations of this infomercial and NOT update this hideous mockery of all that is good and right in the world. View at your own risk..

were YOU at the wedding?

great video posted by HoloProject on youtube.com and forwarded to me via one of the DisneyRoyalLadies – i think the best part may be the shots with guests’ mickey ears obscuing the view…. 😉

shocking development!

i am not quite sure when this happened, as i was in the world last january and had just recorded the entire “top seven with stacy” and – other than adding in “toy story midway mania” – all was right with the world.

imagine the shock and horror when, upon checking in on this last trip at ASMovies, i immediately clicked on the TV and saw THIS:

(only before i taped it, it was a whole lot less shaky…. in any event i realized quickly that holding a camera in front of the tv was not the way to go – but i HAD to bring the news out!!!)

OK. i am not sure what they have dome to and with my stacy. i am generally not a fan of writing negative things about peoples appearances – especially women – in the blog format or elsewhere for that matter (unless you are a sasquatch and you know who you are) but c’mon!!!!! stacy! you look like your own older, sadder sister! just dowdy and dreary! they’ve put her in frowsy outfits in the interspliced “talking head” sections, and she just looks tired!     our stacy is bouncy and energetic, not tired with unfortunate hair.

gone is “yummy! yummy! yummy! (insert yummies here)”. gone is “humunga cowabunga!”  gone is “love roller coasters!  love aerosmith! hellllooooo???!!!”!! even gone is the pent-ultimate stacy-ism: “look at all the lazy people in the lazy river”. UG.

i can sort of see why the change was made, and am hopeful that it is a temporary one. there is no mention of the triple mountain whammy (space mountain, as we geeks know, is down for a rehab for several months) – but would you call Dumbo/Splash Mountain/Small World the magic kingdom’s top must sees? some of the “original” footage is there, and there is some new “stacy in the parks” but even in that, she just doesn’t have the old stacy magic. and the little bippity boppity song is gone too. finally they YOMD footage is gone, some WWYC is in their, as well as, currently, mention of the epcot flower and garden festival.

some may be heartened that the complete show runs just over, say, 15 minutes – i’ve recorded the audio for future generations and will certainly feature it on the podcast at some point.

but my trip was just a little sadder at some moments, knowing i wouldn’t be ending my days with “let’s ride!”

sorry jonathon…..

here’s the real script…
