How Is Pinocchio Represented in the Parks?

linklewtt · 11-21-2006, 09:17 PM

Here's a question:

How is Pinocchio represented in the parks? And I'm talking rides, shops, shows, you name it! As long as it's in the parks and has to do with Pinocchio, list it here.

Thanks.

Well, at Disneyland, there's Pinocchio's Daring Journey, the Village Haus Restaurant, the charcter meet-and-greet, and his role in PoD and RDCT. I'll keep thinking of more at Disneyland and other parks as well.

Horray for Pinocchio.
He's a family favorite in my house. :)
As for being represented in the parks, I think Figfriend covered everything.
There's also the other aspects of Pinocchio such as Monstro (who's part of the Storybook Canal Boats ride) and how the song "When You Wish Upon a Star is in many of the fireworks shows. I could go on with other things from the Pinocchio movie itself, but not necessarily Pinocchio himself.

At the Magic Kingdom in WDW, he's in the Disney Dreams Come True parade.

Pinocchio Village Haus (WDW)
Meet & Greet in Italy (EPCOT)... that's all I can think of for now.

Fantasmic! Many references in there... the can-can girls/marionette scene, Monstro the whale, Jiminy Cricket...

When you walk though SBC, the main entrance, When You Wish is playing as well....

Doesn't Pinocchio also have a statuette at Hub, too?

If I remember what the Hub is, yes he does.

Jiminy has been singing "When You Wish Upon a Star" at the castle for 50 years. I'm rather fond of the little fellow.

wow you guys are doing great! btw, when I say how is Pinocchio represented in the parks, I mean the movie, not just the character. So anyway that the movie has influenced the parks as well as maybe restaurants on Disney property and even hotels would be great to know!

I used to be Geppetto walking around with Pinnochio all the time at the Plaza Inn breakfasts back in 1996-1997! We had fun together!

Not in the park, but there is the Pinocchio parking lot.

There used to be the Pleasure Island float in the MSEP. I was so sad when they took it out. There is a little Pinocchio arcade game/toy/thing in the Penny Arcade on Main Street. And I still see J. Worthington Foulfellow (the fox) and Giddeon (the cat) walking around the park sometimes. Pinocchio is one of my favorite Disney movies of all time, and it never gets enough attention.
