Disney no longer has the 3D show Honey, I shrunk the Audience at Epcot. Not sure what took it's place.

Yeah, Captain Eo(Michael Jackson space adventure/extended music video) replaced it, but I heard that Eo's run would be limited and Honey, I shrunk the audience would be coming back. Although, I thought that it would have changed back by now if that was the original idea. Eo was good, but DW isn't an MJ fan so don't think she enjoyed it, but we saw the show just because we'd never seen it before and it seemed like a bit of history.

All Star Music has either a three caballeros or saludos amigos (i'll sheepishly admit I've seen neither) sculpture in their pool.

Mickey's Philharmagic has references to lion king, aladdin...little mermaid?, beauty & the beast? i forget which ones are there now. hang on. i'll tell you on sunday after I go see it again mickey

Isn't the shopping area in Adventureland called "agrahbah (sp) bazaar" or something like that? that would be an aladdin reference. (I couldn't tell you half of what non-rides are in Adventureland. That damn camel starts spitting on me and I get distracted.)

Incredibles are the sponsor family for the magic bands

Toy Story also has Pizza Planet at HS and is the arcade in Tomorrowland themed for TS? Buzz's Blastoff of something?

Wreck-It-Ralph is in the current version of the castle projection show and I think it totally steals the show (not that I'm biased in any way LOL) The show also references Alice in Wonderland, Jungle Book, Pinocchio (Jiminey Cricket does the voice over for wishes also), lion king, Dumbo, Peter Pan, Snow White, Up, Pocahontas, Sword in the Stone, and more.

Here's the video: [url=]Celebrate the Magic[/url]

I think we'll have a hard time coming up with the others if we don't include the meet & greets.

For live action references, The Happiest Millionaire soundtrack provides some of the music on the Main Street USA loop. Both Happiest Millionaire and Mary Poppins are referenced in the new DVC rooms in the Grand Floridian.

Herbie appears in Lights, Motors, Action

That's all I've got off the top of my head that wasn't already contributed. I'll toss it around a little more. Fun question!!

I know you're not doing Meet 'n Greets, but does it could that Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen show up on the Riverboat in Magic Kingdom...and that the Riverboat is supposed to represent New Orleans?

I love this list...so cool!
