9. “Magic mirror, on the wall… with this disguise, I’ll fool them all!”

As a testament to just how memorable the line is, we bet you already knew that it transitions to the Witch’s raspy, high-pitched voice midway through! Now that’s iconic! Of course, Magic Kingdom fans will know this line as being part of the now-closed Lost Legend: Snow White's Scary Adventures. But in Anaheim, Tokyo, and Paris, it's still a startling introduction to a villanous Witch.

One of the simplest - but most effective - effects on any of Disney’s Fantasyland classics, guests’ initial run-in with the Wicked Witch in pursuit of Snow White is both fascinating and terrifying. Entering into the Queen’s cobblestone throne room, she stands before the mirror, with guests gazing at her reflection. But halfway through the threatening line, the queen spins toward guests, revealing she’s transformed into the haggard old Witch.

Naturally, the effect itself is relatively simple (achieved by having two very separate figures and a faux “mirror” between them) but the moment is eye-catching and sensational. At Disneyland, it was also one of the first ever scenes to be accentuated by then-cutting edge texture-mapped projection technology, with the color draining from the room as the witch “transforms.”

10. “Right pilot… make the jump to lightspeed.”

It’s the line you’ve probably been waiting for your whole life… your chance to sit behind the controls and “punch it,” taking the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy to lightspeed. That makes this the coolest day of your life… well… if you’re the right pilot, at least.

Okay, so reaction to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has admittedly been mixed, with some fans disliking its game engine elements and its reliance on your crew mates (often total strangers) to provide your desired experience. 

And sure, maybe it would be a bit more gratifying to have the call to action spoken by Han or Rey rather than the relatively unknown Hondo Ohnaka… You might even think it would’ve been more fun to simply enjoy a trip across Batuu on the Falcon rather than needing to mash buttons and score “coaxium.” But even if your trip behind the Falcon’s controls isn’t everything you ever hoped, the lucky pilots get to live out a heck of a daydream. 

11. “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls…”

“Disneyland proudly presents / our spectacular festival pageant of nighttime magic and imagination / in thousands of sparkling lights / and electro-synthe-magnetic musical sounds / The Main Street Electrical Parade!"

The musical, magical Main Street Electrical Parade is a (very) long-running favorite for Disney Parks fans, famously illuminating the streets of Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Disney California Adventure, and Disneyland Paris. Flickering on and off again, the parade's debut nearly fifty years ago has seen "encore" runnings and "glowing away forever" promises turn out to be empty. But there's a reason. Even though newer and better nighttime parades have come (like Disneyland's Paint the Night), the ultra-classic Electrical Parade is an eternal fan favorite.

As for that iconic, electronic introductory line spoken through synthesizer and over the instantly-memorable "Baroque Hoedown"? That, too, is reportedly the voice of Jack Wagner, "The Voice of Disneyland."

12. “You’re not gonna make it! You’re not gonna make it!”

The story of DINOSAUR is one of the more interesting tales we’ve told in our Legend Library, if only because we’re not entirely sure how to classify it… After all, it’s technically a modified version of an opening day ride (the Lost Legend: Countdown to Extinction) with piecemeal changes through the ‘90s and early 2000s in an attempt to figure out the best way to narrate this dark, loud, scary prehistoric off-roading adventure.

In both versions of the attraction, the action is co-narrated by Dr. Seeker (the scientist who’s sent us on this “unauthorized field trip”) and the computer of the CTX Time Rover vehicle. But in bits and pieces, the dialogue has been rewritten and rerecorded such that practically none of the narration from the ride’s 1998 opening remains. Story writers have clearly struggled to make the narration helpful, but not intrusive; fun, but not annoying; thrilling, but not scary.

We listed this narration among our Bad Voiceover Work in Disney Parks because the narration is part of what makes DINOSAUR feel uneven and half-baked. Even still, anyone who’s ridden today will remember the over-dramatic cry of Dr. Seeker’s “You’re not gonna make it! You’re not gonna make it!” before the Time Rover dips into the Time Tunnel and lands back on its four wheels in the present. “You made it! I knew you would!”
