It is actually too dull for all ages I do have some faith that the millennium falcon reskin will give it some more fun/juice. So looking forward to that.

Again it was too scary for kids and too juvenile for adults.

Short of folks who had sensory issues, AE was fun and at least at the time, an innovative and a great use of that space. Its main issue was parents who either couldn't read or just didn't care about the warnings. SGE on the other hand caught so much flak because it had most of the same issues, but was also a flaming pile of refuse.

A world of laughter now - insanity later.

Only if the boat stops.

Some say you can be traumatized on It’s a small world…

It makes sense Disney did not gut the place since they are not going to do anything with the space. Disney doesn't do anything unless there is a reason, they just leave it be. On the other hand, when a given project is green lit, works happens then, like a toggle switch stopped, like the Play Pavilion. A lot of work done, then halted and the entire pavilion erased from park map. And lets not forget - Harmonious - a massive project, built, failed, dragged back stage and destroyed. Starcruiser - a massive project, built, failed, now office space. EPCOT renovation - a massive project, over 5 years of walls, scope cut, failed elements like the ugly planter, the broken in ground lighting, the awful rust finish all over the place, now all there for the foreseeable future for all to see.

But he still didn't have his stapler. I'm sure that upsets him to this day.

To be fair to Milton, he didn’t know he was no longer employed. He also burnt the place down and peaced out to Mexico.

I can’t speak to everyone else’s experiences, obviously. But I think Boomer parents were just “built different” than those today. As I look back at movies my parents (who are wonderful) took me to, the only guiding principle I can infer from those choices are “we wanted to see this movie and don’t trust babysitters.” So I think some of that was at play.

My favorite trope is the one of new people who suck…because they don’t realize they have to learn the difference between their head and their $&@

That’s one of several buildings. I’m still not sure why you think he’d have access or even want it. He doesn’t work there any more. The trope of the old man who still hangs around the office is a cautionary tale and a character who is to be pitied because they made their job their life.

Alien encounter was interesting…most definitely out of “character” for a Disney park…but I highly doubt contributing to much lifelong trauma except for all but an infinitesimal amount of patrons.
