  • Re-Imagine, Remove, and Remain - at Walt Disney World

    Is there an attraction at Walt Disney World that you can picture as an entirely new theme? How about one that you could do away with completely? And is there one that you would never change? This week we are playing "Re-Imagine, Remove, and Remain" in which we each share three Walt Disney World attractions, resorts, or something else and the other has to decide which would they would Re-Imagine with a new theme (and which theme), Remove completely, or Remain the exact same. The only rule, you HAVE to assign one item to each category each round - it's harder than it sounds!
