** The Jungle Cruise gets this a ''lot''. Perhaps the most out of the original attractions. Originally; it was meant to pretend to be a jungle cruise, but nowadays everyone just mocks the special effects. Storybook Land does have some of the same plants that were there ''in the 1950s''. (They only grow a quarter of an inch every couple years!) but the idea was to see the plants. Plus it's not like the display of the small sets in said ride really do anything other than look cool. (Which they are!)
** One particular mention. In EPCOT; they replaced "The Living Seas" with a ''[[Finding Nemo]]'' themed attraction, with a couple of the seagulls programmed to move their beaks and shout "MINE" every now and then. One time, it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19dnt9f9vFY malfunctioned]. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
** During one showing of [[Finding Nemo]] [[The Musical]], one of the "Bubbles" on the side suddenly shuts off. What shows up next? A [http://a.yfrog.com/img739/3443/4wd3.jpg Blue Screen of Death]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Take That, Scrappy!]]: A quick one is thrown to [[Star Wars|Jar Jar]] [[Alien Scrappy|and Gungans]] in the queue to ''Star Tours''.
{{quote|'''C-3PO''': [after an ad for Naboo] I found those Gungans somewhat annoying.
Line 82:
*** California Adventure was actually criticised for "not being Disney enough"...not to mention if you think about it; it might be a nice place to put pixar-and-recent-themed attractions given that space is limited in that specific park. (Disney did not actually have a lot of money and was almost broke when they bought the land. This is why a lot of attractions are sponsored by companies such as Dole, Mattel, Brawny, and why the park is practically ''surrounded'' by third-party hotels that have little to no association with Disney; compared to other parks where they were able to build their own resorts.)
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Disney park fans (especially Disney World fans) have this attitude a lot, though it's sometimes justified. Take Journey Into Imagination's disastrous revamps at EPCOT (and the ride's creators [[Writer Revolt|seem to agree with them]]!)
** Sometimes it even reaches [[Ruined FOREVER]] proportions. Visit any Disneyland message board and find the discussion about the 2009 changes to "it's a small world". You can't miss it—it will be dozens of pages long and dripping with so much acid that you'll need to put on a haz-mat suit before you click the link. And the thing is, as [https://web.archive.org/web/20090211153215/http://www.cartoonbrew.com/disney/small-world-makeover-opens.html video of the refurbishments have surfaced], it turns out that you probably wouldn't even notice most of the alterations unless you purposefully looked for them. (But look at the vitriol in the comments in the link...)
*** Another anal example involves the 2009 music for the Disney Electrical Parade. "Oh noes! They're using a different synthesizer! Even though the melody hasn't changed, Disney's greatest parade of all time is now [[Ruined FOREVER]]!"
** Part of the criticism behind some of the changes has to do with the thinly-veiled [[Product Placement]] they've brought to the rides.
