The downfall of the Emporium

—

I’ve made a small rant on some of my initial posts with all my trip photos but here’s going to be a much more organized one.

Diluted goods

I have vivid memories back when I was a child of the store being chocked full of everything you could possibly imagine. A massive section of plushies, mugs, collectible toys and it just kept going. It had everything. Generic to parks specific! You could pick up something from Frontierland you missed on your way out, you could get a Minnie doll and things you hadn’t seen anywhere else!

On my last trip it had… the same few things every other gift shop carried. Three or four collections , a small wall of stuffed animals and a huge amount of munchlings. They didn’t even have generic Disney items- the very basic Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse plush just was not there. It was the same 10 stuffed animals of everywhere else. This huge section of the store I remember so vividly was reduced to a small wall.

There wasn’t all that much Disney world stuff even! Or new Disney 100 or pride just more of the same few things every store had.

Am I misremembering

Am I just letting nostalgia clog my Brain? I remember even just a few years ago while there was some repeating items around most stores would have more unique items. Epcot would have stuff for Epcot, Hollywood studios for Hollywood! Each store this trip rarely had a thing related to their park or attractions- they rarely even had generic Disney just the same 4 merch lines. I feel like I’m going insane. Even the hotels had the same thing. Some gift shops are like that, yes, but others for spesific attractions… you would think. The only few on the top of my head that had things related to their ride was

- Flight of passage

- Expedition Everest

- Tron

- Haunted mansion

Theming-

Like all things this trip the emporium got a nice clean up and update and the shop’s straight down Main Street are just as themed as ever. I’ve always appreciated that. However there’s these signs calling it a “must do” and a “main street staple” and yet… where is what it’s known for? All that it had inside was nothing like what it should be or is renown for. Disney clearly knows how much of a staple shopping there is but won’t give it the merchandise it needs to thrive.

Overall a very confusing and disappointing shopping experience.

Wonderful Top 7's

Top 7 Walt Disney World Queues (a.k.a. Where You Wait In Line P.S I Am Counting Interactive Elements And Pre-Shows)

#7: Pirates of the Caribbean: Pirates of the Caribbean is a pretty iconic ride and as a bonus, it comes with a pretty iconic queue. You wind your way through a dilapidated Spanish fort with cannons, dungeons, and skeletons while George Bruns' Pirates Overture plays in the background granting a sense of whimsy and intrigue to the setting. All before you reach the boat loading station set under a starry sky with a pirate ship floating in the background. Great stuff and it even comes fully air-conditioned which is certainly a plus.

#6: Star Tours: To put it simply, this queue oozes Star Wars fanservice and fun all throughout. You start off winding through a movie set of Endor before heading into a large area with your ride vehicle alternating instances of R2-D2 and C-3PO performing diagnostics while bantering and travel videos for locations throughout the Star Wars galaxy. Then you ascend several ramps containing more hilarious banter from droid security from reaching the pre-show. It's almost disappointing that it goes by so fast due to the ride's large capacity (almost).

#5: Peter Pan's Flight: Since it is a homing beacon for the young and young at heart inside another homing beacon, Fantasyland has several queues with many interactive elements to keep those idle hands very busy indeed. While The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train do this really well too, I'm going to give the spot to Peter Pan's Flight. The recreation of the Darling's Nursery, playing with the shadows, Tinker Bell flying around, it makes you feel like you stepped into the original film more than any other attraction. Most certainly a step up to the originally sparse fairground decor.

#4: The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror: To be honest, it's the brief middle portion of this attraction's queue that is mostly responsible for its placement. The dilapidated, abandoned lobby of the Hollywood Tower Hotel is a spectacle dripping with mystery and atmosphere followed up by the second most iconic pre-show of all time. Although, to T4's credit, the (at least in my opinion) legitimately creepy boiler room and the overgrown and slightly angled exterior are both impressive in their own way and manage to help sell the ride's off-kilter vibes. But man, that middle part is worth the wait alone...the attraction is too.

#3: Flights of Passage: When WAITING for the attraction feels like an adventure in of itself. This queue is super long and the designers made use of that length by giving guests a smorgasbord of Pandoran environments. You walk through a jungle waterfall, winding caves, a overgrown bunker teeming with bioluminescence, a functioning lab with a bunch of fantasy science projects and a big blue man in a tube, all before you reach the main bunker, loading areas, and pre show with awkward intern and Sigourney Weaver's descendent who looks exactly like Sigourney Weaver. Quite a lot before you sivako (rise to the challenge).

#2: Expedition Everest: Detail is something that Walt Disney Attractions have excelled at and this ride is the grand prize winner. Your runaway tea train ride through the Forbidden Mountain starts in the Himalayan hamlet of Serka Zong where you pass shrines dedicated to mythical Yeti, a mountain climbing supply store run by two newcomer entrepreneurs, and an entire Yeti museum offering history and even evidence of the reclusive guardian's existence. Not only does it truly feel like you've stepped halfway around the world but it's a queue that tells the full prelude to the story of the attraction without the need of a pre-show video or presentation. Simply fantastic.

#1: The Haunted Mansion: Kind of an obvious pick but it's an obvious pick for a reason. This queue has it all. You have the ookie spooky atmosphere. You have all the fun games and activities to do while you wait. You have the Easter eggs in the graveyard. You have the most iconic attraction pre-show of all time. It even has partial air-conditioning. The only thing that would make it even better is if it had even more chills running down your spine as you made your way into Gracey Manor...as in full air-conditioning...because it can be very hot in Florida.

Favorite Disney Parks Attraction Showdown: Round 4

Videos and propaganda under the cut!

MuppetVision 3D: DCA, WDW Hollywood Studios

Propaganda:

"Muppets!!! We love the Muppets!!! And also the last thing Jim Henson worked on!!!"

youtube

Expedition Everest: WDW Animal Kingdom

Propaganda:

"I have to start off by complementing the queue. It helps you get in the mindset that you're preparing for an expedition into Mount Everest. The little museum section devoted to suspected Yeti attacks and evidence really sets your mind alright with anticipation. I love the 'engine' at the back of the ride train, too. The anticipation builds as you pass through the shrine to the Yeti, and I love the 'oh shit' moment when you get into the mountain and realize that the tracks have been ripped up. From there, the ride is just a blast as it travels backwards in the dark. I like the scene with the projected 'shadow' of the Yeti and the sound design selling the idea that you're fleeing from it. It's a real shame that the animatronic needs the Disco Yeti effect these days, but passing under it is still very exciting."

"i am ENAMORED by the history of the yeti in this ride. i ADORE the ride itself, & my brother looked like he was gonna pass out when he got off with me & my mum."

"Even with the infamous Disco Yeti, Expedition Everest remains one of my all time favorite rides out of any of the parks (one of the few things I will agree World did better than Land) (not biased at all)"
