LImited Time Magic We'd Really Like to See

Limited-Time Magic is the oddest campaign Disney's ever rolled out. It's something few people can take advantage of, and its here-today-gone-tomorrow events leave virtually no impression. While it's a sweet concept, I'm sure most fans would rather have gotten a simple C-Ticket dark ride. Rides, Disney, please don't forget: The rides pull guests in.

That said, there are certainly some concepts that could make this strange promotion a headline grabber. Mouse Troop presents a list of Limited-Time Magic ideas we'd go nuts for:

TUBE THE JUNGLE CRUISE DAY

Maybe turn off the piranha attack for this one.

AUTOPIA UNLEASHED DAY

Apparently these little cars can get up to 45 or 50 M.P.H. without the installed speed governors. Around the Autopia track in one minute!
 
DISNEY EXECS IN CHARACTER COSTUMES DAY

I've heard stories that, once, long ago, every new Disneyland Exec had to work a brief stint as a character to get a sense of how important the "magic" element of Disney really is. Time to bring that idea back, retroactively, for every Disney Executive on Earth for just one day.

And how about:

PUNK ROCK SMALL WORLD DAY
MATTERHORN ZIP-LINE DAY
NO PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES  DAY
NO SPREADING ANY BLANKETS TO HOLD A SPOT FOR A PARADE OR SHOW DAY
ROLLER SKATE DAY
PEOPLE-DRAWN HORSE CAR DAY (It's only fair).
ORIGINAL SINGLE CAR BOBSLEDS DAY
PERSONALLY-TELL-THE-COMMITTEE-THAT-DESIGNED-THE-NEW-BOBSLEDS-EXACTLY- HOW-YOU-FEEL-ABOUT-HOW-THEY'VE-RUINED-THE-RIDE-DAY
NO FASTPASS DAY (let everyone see how much quicker the lines move)

and finally...


ALL FOOD FREE DAY (There's as much a chance of this last one happening as a horror film being filmed in Walt Disney World without the company's knowledge...oh, wait...)

Those are a few Limited Time Magic events we'd actually hop on a plane to experience. How abut you? What special day at the parks would really pull you in?
