70. Alice in Wonderland - Part 3 - The 1983 Version & Beyond
Description
Why was Tony Baxter so disappointed in Alice in Wonderland as a child?
In this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we say farewell to our Alice in Wonderland series (and make it go out with a bang!). After learning what delayed Alice from opening with New Fantasyland in 1983, we compare the enhancements with the original 1958 version, hear about Tony Baxter's vision for the updates, discover a ridiculous reason for a tree, and find a long-lost Alice figurine from Walt Disney World. We also talk about the vine railing debacle, and what updates have been made to the ride since the 1980s.
